if attach succeeded. device_is_alive just tells us that probe
succeeded. Since we were using it to do things like detach net
interfaces, this caused problems when there were errors in the attach
routine.
Symptoms of problem reported by: martin blapp
- Unconditionally call *_stop() if device is in the tree. This is to
prevent callouts from happening after the device is gone. Checks for
bus_child_present() should be added in the future to keep from touching
potentially non-existent hardware in *_detach(). Found by iedowse@.
- Always check for and free miibus children, even if the device is not in
the tree since some failure cases could have gotten here.
- Call ether_ifdetach() in the irq setup failure case
- ti(4), xl(4): move ifmedia_init() calls to the beginning of attach so
that ifmedia_removeall() can be unconditionally called on detach. There
is no way to detect whether ifmedia has been initialized without using
a separate variable (as tl(4) does).
- Add comments to indicate assumptions of code path
in dc_detach() instead of only calling it if the hardware is preset.
This is a workaround for page faults in softclock() after a `dc'
device was detached, caused by not disabling a timer before freeing
its memory. The bus_child_present() checks should probably be
re-added later, but only to avoid the hardware accesses and not the
other resource cleanups in dc_stop().

network layer (ether).
- Don't abuse module names to facilitate ifconfig module loading;
such abuse isn't really needed. (And if we do need type information
associated with a module then we should make it explicit and not
use hacks.)
- Remove locking of the softc in the attach method, instead depending on
bus_setup_intr being at the end of attach (delaying interrupt enable until
after ether_ifattach is called)
- Call *_detach directly in the error case of attach, depending on checking
in detach to only free resources that were allocated. This puts all
resource freeing in one place, avoiding thinkos that lead to memory leaks.
- Add bus_child_present check to calls to *_stop in the detach method to
be sure hw is present before touching its registers.
- Remove bzero softc calls since device_t should do this for us.
- dc: move interrupt allocation back where it was before. It was unnecessary
to move it. This reverts part of 1.88
- rl: move irq allocation before ether_ifattach. Problems might have been
caused by allocating the irq after enabling interrupts on the card.
- rl: call rl_stop before ether_ifdetach
- sf: call sf_stop before ether_ifdetach
- sis: add missed free of sis_tag
- sis: check errors from tag creation
- sis: move dmamem_alloc and dmamap_load to happen at same time as tag creation
- sk: remove duplicate initialization of sk_dev
- ste: add missed bus_generic_detach
- ti: call ti_stop before ether_ifdetach
- ti: add missed error setting in ti_rdata alloc failure
- vr: add missed error setting in I/O, memory mapping cases
- xl: add missed error setting in I/O, memory mapping cases
- xl: remove multi-level goto on attach failure
- xl: move dmamem_alloc and dmamap_load to happen at same time as tag creation
- Calls to free(9) are unconditional because it is valid to call free with a
null pointer.

Also, use m_defrag where appropriate to defrag long mbuf chains
in the same fashion as was done in if_sis.c. Before this change,
if_dc would blow up and take down the interface if fed a really long
mbuf chain.

simplifies error exit cases as well. Also be sure to set errno

This gets some cardbus dc cards working (either completely or nearly
so). It also appears to get additional pci cards working, without
breaking working ones.
# Maybe some additional work is needed here. Also, the cardbus attachment

"The problem is that in full duplex mode, the Conexant chip always reports a
carrier lost error, even when the frame is successfully sent. So, if we
have a Conexant chip, then ignore carrier lost when in full duplex
mode."
Since the Xircom chips seem to have the same issue and since we already
have a workaround for this, just expand the workaround test to also
check for DC_IS_CONEXANT().

DEVICE_POLLING is enabled under #ifdef DEVICE_POLLING.
Non-SMP, i386-only, no polling in the idle loop at the moment.
To use this code you must compile a kernel with
options DEVICE_POLLING
and at runtime enable polling with
sysctl kern.polling.enable=1
The percentage of CPU reserved to userland can be set with
sysctl kern.polling.user_frac=NN (default is 50)
while the remainder is used by polling device drivers and netisr's.
These are the only two variables that you should need to touch. There
are a few more parameters in kern.polling but the default values
are adequate for all purposes. See the code in kern_poll.c for
more details on them.
Polling in the idle loop will be implemented shortly by introducing
a kernel thread which does the job. Until then, the amount of CPU
dedicated to polling will never exceed (100-user_frac).
The equivalent (actually, better) code for -stable is at
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/polling/
and also supports polling in the idle loop.
NOTE to Alpha developers:
There is really nothing in this code that is i386-specific.
If you move the 2 lines supporting the new option from
sys/conf/{files,options}.i386 to sys/conf/{files,options} I am
pretty sure that this should work on the Alpha as well, just that
I do not have a suitable test box to try it. If someone feels like
trying it, I would appreciate it.
NOTE to other developers:
sure some things could be done better, and as always I am open to
constructive criticism, which a few of you have already given and
I greatly appreciated.
However, before proposing radical architectural changes, please
take some time to possibly try out this code, or at the very least
read the comments in kern_poll.c, especially re. the reason why I
am using a soft netisr and cannot (I believe) replace it with a
simple timeout.

Introduce an additional device flag for those NICs which require the
transmit buffers to be aligned to 32-bit boundaries.
(the equivalen fix for STABLE is slightly simpler because there are
no supported chips which require this alignment there.)
The reason we are required to commit to -current first is so that later
MFC's do not risk the loss of existing bug fixes. Even if this was not
strictly required in -current, it should still be fixed there too.
mbuf allocation fails, and fix (i hope) a couple of style bugs.
I believe these printf() are extremely dangerous because now they can
occur on every incoming packet and are not rate limited. They were
meant to warn the sysadmin about lack of resources, but now they
can become a nice way to panic your system under load.
Other drivers (e.g. the fxp driver) have nothing like this.
There is a pending discussion on putting this kind of warnings
elsewhere, and I hope we can fix this soon.
underlying unaligned bcopy) on incoming packets that are already
available (albeit unaligned) in a buffer.
The performance improvement varies, depending on CPU and memory
speed, but can be quite large especially on slow CPUs. I have seen
over 50% increase on forwarding speed on the sis driver for the
486/133 (embedded systems), which does exactly the same thing.
The behaviour is controlled by a sysctl variable, hw.dc_quick which
defaults to 1. Set it to 0 to restore the old behaviour.
After running a few experiments (in userland, though) I am convinced
that doing the m_devget() is detrimental to performance in almost
all cases.
Even if your CPU has degraded performance with misaligned data,
the bcopy() in the driver has the same overhead due to misaligment
as the one that you save in the uiomove(), plus you do one extra
copy and pollute the cache.
But more often than not, you do not even have to touch the payload,
e.g. when you are forwarding packets, and even in the often-cited
case of NFS, you often end up passing a pointer to the payload to
the disk controller.
In any case, you can play with the sysctl variable to toggle between
the two behaviours, and see if it makes a difference.

This gives a 10-15% performance improvement in the forwarding rate
