checksum offoload by downloading AIC-6915 firmware. Changes are
o Header file cleanup.
o Simplified probe logic.
o s/u_int{8,16,32}_t/uint{8,16,32}_t/g
o K&R -> ANSI C.
o In register access function, added support both memory mapped and
IO space register acccess. The function will dynamically detect
which method would be choosed.
o sf_setperf() was modified to support strict-alignment
architectures.
o Use SF_MII_DATAPORT instead of hardcoded value 0xffff.
o Added link state/speed, duplex changes handling task q. The task q
is also responsible for flow control settings.
o Always hornor link up/down state reported by mii layers. The link
state information is used in sf_start() to determine whether we
got a valid link.
o Added experimental flow-control setup. It was commented out but
will be activated once we have flow-cotrol infrastructure in mii
layer.
o Simplify IFF_UP/IFCAP_POLLING and IFF_PROMISC handling logic. Rx
filter always honors promiscuous mode.
o Implemented suspend/resume methods.
o Reorganized Rx filter routine so promiscuous mode changes doesn't
require interface re-initialization.
o Reimplemnted driver probe routine such that it looks for matching
device from supported hardware list table. This change will help to
add newer hardware revision to the driver.
o Use ETHER_ADDR_LEN instead of hardcoded value.
o Prefer memory space register mapping over I/O space as the hardware
requires lots of register access to get various consumer/producer
index. Failing to get memory space mapping, sf(4) falls back to I/O
space mapping. Use of memory space register mapping requires
somewhat large memory space(512K), though.
o Switch to simpler bus_{read,write}_{1,2,4}.
o Use PCIR_BAR macro to get BARs.
o Program PCI cache line size if the cache line size was set to 0
and enable PCI MWI.
o Add a new sysctl node 'dev.sf.N.stats' that shows various MAC
counters for Rx/Tx statistics.
o Add a sysctl node to configure interrupt moderation timer. The
timer defers interrupts generation until time specified in timer
control register is expired. The value in the timer register is in
units of 102.4us. The allowable range for the timer is 0 - 31
(0 ~ 3.276ms).
The default value is 1(102.4us). Users can change the timer value
with dev.sf.N.int_mod sysctl(8) variable/loader(8) tunable.
o bus_dma(9) conversion
- Enable 64bit DMA addressing.
- Enable 64bit descriptor format support.
- Apply descriptor ring alignment requirements(256 bytes alignment).
- Apply Rx buffer address alignment requirements(4 bytes alignment).
- Apply 4GB boundary restrictions(Tx/Rx ring and its completion ring
should live in the same 4GB address space.)
- Set number of allowable number of DMA segments to 16. In fact,
AIC-6915 doesn't have a limit for number of DMA segments but it
would be waste of Tx descriptor resource if we allow more than 16.
- Rx/Tx side bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg(9) support.
- Added alignment fixup code for strict-alignment architectures.
- Added endianness support code in Tx/Rx descriptor access.
With these changes sf(4) should work on all platforms.
o Don't set if_mtu in device attach, it's handled in ether_ifattach.
o Use our own callout to drive watchdog timer.
o Enable VLAN oversized frames and announce sf(4)'s VLAN capability
to upper layer.
o In sf_detach(), remove mtx_initialized KASSERT as it's not possible
to get there without initialzing the mutex. Also mark that we're
about to detaching so active bpf listeners do not panic the system.
o To reduce PCI register access cycles, Rx completion ring is
directly scanned instead of reading consumer/producer index
registers. In theory, Tx completion ring also can be directly
scanned. However the completion ring is composed of two types
completion(1 for Tx done and 1 and DMA done). So reading producer
index via register access would be more safer way to detect the
ring wrap-around.
o In sf_rxeof(), don't use m_devget(9) to align recevied frames. The
alignment is required only for strict-alignment architectures and
now the alignment is handled by sf_fixup_rx() if required. The
removal of the copy operation in fast path should increase Rx
performance a lot on non-strict-alignemnt architectures such as
i386 and amd64.
o In sf_newbuf(), don't set descriptor valid bit as sf(4) is
programmed to run with normal mode. In normal mode, the valid bit
have no meaning. The valid bit should be used only when the
hardware uses polling(prefetch) mode. The end of descriptor queue
bit could be used if needed, but sf(4) relys on auto-wrapping of
hardware on 256 descriptor queue entries so both valid and
descriptor end bit are not used anymore.
o Don't disable generation of Tx DMA completion as said in datasheet
and use the Tx DMA completion entry instead of relying on Tx done
completion entry. Also added additional Tx completion entry type
check in Tx completion handler.
o Don't blindly reset watchdog timer in sf_txeof(). sf(4) now unarm
the the watchdog only if there are no active Tx descriptors in Tx
queue.
o Don't manually update various counters in driver, instead, use
built-in MAC statistic registers to update them. The statistic
registers are updated in every second.
o Modified Tx underrun handlers to increase the threshold value
in units of 256 bytes. Previously it used to increase 16 bytes
at a time which seems to take too long to stabalize whenever Tx
underrun occurrs.
o In interrupt handler, additional check for the interrupt is
performed such that interrupts only for this device is allowed to
process descriptor rings. Because reading SF_ISR register clears
all interrtups, nuke writing to a SF_ISR register.
o Tx underrun is abonormal condition and SF_ISR_ABNORMALINTR includes
the interrupt. So there is no need to inspect the Tx underrun again
in main interrupt loop.
o Don't blindly reinitialize hardware for abnormal interrupt
condition. sf(4) reintializes the hardware only when it encounters
DMA error which requires an explicit hardware reinitialization.
o Fix a long standing bug that incorrectly clears MAC statistic
registers in sf_init_locked.
o Added strict-alignment safe way of ethernet address reprogramming
as IF_LLADDR may return unaligned address.
o Move sf_reset() to sf_init_locked in order to always reset the
hardware to a known state prior to configuring hardware.
o Set default Rx DMA, Tx DMA paramters as shown in datasheet.
o Enable PCI busmaster logic and autopadding for VLAN frames.
o Rework sf_encap.
- Previously sf(4) used to type 0 of Tx descriptor with padding
enabled to store driver private data. Emebedding private data
structures into descriptors is bad idea as the structure size
would be different between 64bit and 32bit architectures. The
type 0 descriptor allows fixed number of DMA segments in
a descriptor format and provides relatively simple interface to
manage multi-fragmented frames.
However, it wastes lots of Tx descriptors as not all frames are
fragmented as the number of allowable segments in a descriptor.
- To overcome the limitation of type 0 descriptor, switch to type
2 descriptor which allows 64bit DMA addressing and can handle
unliumited number of fragmented DMA segments. The drawback of
type 2 descriptor is in its complexity in managing descriptors
as driver should handle the end of Tx ring manually.
- Manually set Tx desciptor queue end mark and record number of
used descriptors to reclaim used descriptors in sf_txeof().
o Rework sf_start.
- Honor link up/down state before attempting transmission.
- Because sf(4) uses only one of two Tx queues, use low priority
queue instead of high one. This will remove one shift operation
in each Tx kick command.
- Cache last produder index into softc such that subsequenet Tx
operation doesn't need to access producer index register.
o Rewrote sf_stats_update to include all available MAC statistic
counters.
o Employ AIC-6915 firmware from Adaptec and implement firmware
download routine and TCP/UDP checksum offload.
Partial checksum offload support was commented out due to the
possibility of firmware bug in RxGFP.
The firmware can strip VLAN tag in Rx path but the lack of firmware
assistance of VLAN tag insertion in transmit side made it useless
on FreeBSD. Unlike checksum offload, FreeBSD requires both Tx/Rx
hardware VLAN assistance capability. The firmware may also detect
wakeup frame and can wake system up from states other than D0.
However, the lack of wakeup support form D3cold state keep me from
adding WOL capability. Also detecting WOL frame requires firmware
support but it's not yet known to me whether the firmware can
process the WOL frame.
o Changed *_ADDR_HIADDR to *_ADDR_HI to match other definitions of
registers.
o Added definitioan to interrupt moderation related constants.
o Redefined SF_INTRS to include Tx DMA done and DMA errors. Removed
Tx done as it's not needed anymore.
o Added definition for Rx/Tx DMA high priority threshold.
o Nuked unused marco SF_IDX_LO, SF_IDX_HI.
o Added complete MAC statistic register definition.
o Modified sf_stats structure to hold all MAC statistic regiters.
o Nuke various driver private padding data in Tx/Rx descriptor
definition. sf(4) no longer requires private padding. Also remove
unused padding related definitions. This greatly simplifies
descriptor manipulation on 64bit architectures.
o Becase we no longer pad driver private data into descriptor,
remove deprecated/not-applicable comments for padding.
o Redefine Rx/Tx desciptor status. sf(4) doesn't use bit fileds
anymore to support endianness.

softc->ifp was initialized.

struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

Also added to code to detect TX underruns and automatically increase the
TX threshold to avoid them. Carefully placed diagnostig printf() about

mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:
mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)
similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:
mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.
The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.
Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:
MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH
The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:
mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.
Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.
Create a new malloc type for the witness code and retire from using
the M_DEV type. The new type is called M_WITNESS and is only declared
if WITNESS is enabled.
Begin cleaning up some machdep/mutex.h code - specifically updated the
"optimized" inlined code in alpha/mutex.h and wrote MTX_LOCK_SPIN
and MTX_UNLOCK_SPIN asm macros for the i386/mutex.h as we presently
need those.
Finally, caught up to the interface changes in all sys code.

before selecting a mode. The Seeq PHY chips on the Adaptec cards that
use the AIC-6915 controller seem to need it in order to get them to
change modes correctly.
This corrects a problem that I noticed where my ANA-62022 board failed
to correctly program the full duplex bit in the macconfig1 register
when the interface was brought up. Running ifconfig sf0 would mask this
problem in some cases because polling the PHY status would cause the
miibus code to notice that full duplex was now needed and the statchg
callback would be invoked to configure the duplex setting. However it
would still get it wrong other times.
Also changed sf_miibus_statchg() to program the IPG register to match
the duplex setting in accordance with Adaptec manual's recommendations
(0x15 for full duplex, 0x11 for half duplex).

be a newer board rev with code 0x19. I added a #define for this and
updated the probe code so that this board will be properly identified

an AIC-6915 chip.)
ethernet controllers based on the AIC-6915 "Starfire" controller chip.
There are single port, dual port and quad port cards, plus one 100baseFX
card. All are 64-bit PCI devices, except one single port model.
The Starfire would be a very nice chip were it not for the fact that
receive buffers have to be longword aligned. This requires buffer
copying in order to achieve proper payload alignment on the alpha.
Payload alignment is enforced on both the alpha and x86 platforms.
The Starfire has several different DMA descriptor formats and transfer
mechanisms. This driver uses frame descriptors for transmission which
can address up to 14 packet fragments, and a single fragment descriptor
for receive. It also uses the producer/consumer model and completion
queues for both transmit and receive. The transmit ring has 128
descriptors and the receive ring has 256.
This driver supports both FreeBSD/i386 and FreeBSD/alpha, and uses newbus
so that it can be compiled as a loadable kernel module. Support for BPF
and hardware multicast filtering is included.
