tulip_mbuf_compress(). If we fail to allocate a new mbuf to copy the
data into, put the mbuf back in the driver's send queue so that we can
retry it later rather than throwing the packet away.
- Use m_devget() instead of doing it inline ourselves in the
TULIP_COPY_RXDATA case. If we fail to allocate an mbuf to copy the data
into, don't forget about the original mbuf cluster. The old code would
lose the pointer and leak the cluster in that case. Now it doesn't lose
it but always sticks the original rx buffer back into the receive ring
after trying to copy the data out and send it up the stack. Also, if we
fail to allocate a new mbuf to copy the data into, log an input error.
Also, don't combine the priming case with the received-a-packet case to
make the code flow a bit clearer and easier to follow.
- Remove form feed characters.
- Fixup style of function declarations.
- Assume that an mbuf cluster is big enough to hold an ethernet frame.
(This should really be using m_defrag(), but this diff is just simple
changes for now.)
- Allocate arrays of metadata for the descriptors in the rx and tx rings
and change the ring pointers to walk the metadata array rather than the
actual descriptor rings. Each metadata object contains a pointer to its
descriptor, a pointer to any associated mbuf, and a pointer to the
associated bus_dmamap_t in the bus_dma case. The mbuf pointers replace
the tulip_txq and tulip_rxq local ifqueue's in the softc.
- Add lots of KTR trace entries using a local KTR_TULIP level which
defaults to 0, but can be changed to KTR_DEV at the top of the file
when debugging.
- Rename tulip_init(), tulip_start(), tulip_ifinit(), and tulip_ifstart()
to tulip_init_locked(), tulip_start_locked(), tulip_init(), and
tulip_start(), respectively, to match the convention in other drivers.
- Add a TULIP_SP_MAC() macro to encode two bytes of the MAC address into
the setup buffer and use that in place of lots of BYTE_ORDER #ifdef's.
Also, remove an incorrect XXX comment I added earlier, the driver was
correct (at least it does the same thing dc(4) does). TULIP_SP_MAC
was shamelessly copied from DC_SP_MAC() in dc(4).
- Remove the #ifdef'd NetBSD bus-dma code and replace it with FreeBSD
bus-dma code that not only compiles but even works at runtime.
- Use callout_init_mtx() instead of just callout_init().
- Correct the various wrapper macros for bus_dmamap_sync() for the rx
and tx buffers to only ask for the sync ops that they actually need.
- Tidy the #ifdef TULIP_COPY_RXDATA code by expanding an #ifdef a bit
so it becomes easier to read at the expense of a couple of duplicated
lines of code. Also, use m_getcl() to get an mbuf cluster rather than
MGETHDR() followed by MCLGET().
- Maintain the ring free (ri_free) count for the rx ring metadata since
we no longer have tulip_rxq.ifq_len around to indicate how many mbuf's
are currently in the rx ring.
- Add code to teardown bus_dma resources when attach fails and generally
fixup attach to do a better job of cleaning up when it fails. This
gets us a good bit closer to possibly having a detach method someday
and making this driver an unloadable module.
- Add some functions that can be called from ddb to dump the state of
a descriptor ring and to dump the state of an individual descriptor.
- Various comment grammer and spelling fixes.
I have bus-dma turned on by default, but I've left the non-bus-dma code
around so that it can be turned off to aid in debugging should any problems
turn up later on. I'll be removing the non-bus-dma code in a subsequent
commit.
- Remove a lot of superfluous locking during attach. There is no need
to lock access to the driver until some other thread has a way of getting
to it. For ethernet drivers the other ways include registering an
interrupt handler via bus_setup_intr(), calling ether_ifattach() to hook
into the network stack, and kicking off a callout-driven timer via
callout_reset().
- Use callout_* rather than timeout/untimeout.
- Break out of xl_rxeof() if IFF_DRV_RUNNING is clear after ifp->if_input
returns to handle the case where the interface was stopped while we were
passing a packet up the stack. Don't call xl_rxeof() in xl_rxeof_task()
unless IFF_DRV_RUNNING is set. With these fixes in place, any
outstanding task will gracefully terminate as soon as it gets a chance to
run after the interface has been stopped via xl_stop(). As a result,
taskqueue_drain() is no longer required in xl_stop(). The task is still
drained in detach() however to make sure that detach() can safely destroy
the driver mutex at the end of the function.
- Lock the driver lock in the ifmedia callouts and don't lock across
ifmedia_ioctl() in xl_ioctl().

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

- Removed the TX list counter and the producer/consumer gap; it's

This was held up too long waiting for a repo copy to src/sys/dev/cy,

to read and merge diffs anyway.
The "count" line in src/sys/conf/files won't be changed until after
the repo copy, so old kernel configs that specify a count need not be
(and must not be) changed until then. The count is just ignored in
the driver. One unfinished detail is dynamic allocation of arrays
with <count> and (<count> * 32) entries, and iteration over the arrays.

The fix in revision 1.71 to correct resetting of the watchdog timer

Also, resetting the timer to five each time we know there is still

(This significantly reduces the CPU load.)
Improved the RX ring resyncing code by re-checking if the head
is still empty before doing resyncing. This mostly affects the
DEVICE_POLLING mode, where we run this code periodically. We
could start checking with an empty head (well, an empty ring
even), and after doing a few iterations, the chip might write
a few entries, including the head, and we would bogusly consider
this case as requiring resyncing. On a test box, this reduced
the number of resyncs done by a factor of 10.
In ste_txeof(sc), only reset the watchdog timer to zero when
the TX list is completely empty.

stuck traffic, disordered packets, etc. Work around this by
adopting the technique of resyncing RX head used in dc(4) and

the number of resyncs needed.
Also, set the NIC's RX polling period to a more meaningful value,
to stop overloading the PCI bus (this also reduces the number of
resyncs by a factor of 3 or more in a long run; the actual number
is very dependent on a nature of the traffic).

not properly classified as either Genesis or Yukon. Not that I could ever
have needed this. :-)

No functional change, the previous ste_encap() was correct WRT
long mbuf chains; this just reduces code duplication.

Assigning the default behaviour to this particular device is
incorrect, corrupting the video BIOS aperture, and breaking
VESA support in the kernel and XFree86.

Introduce d_version field in struct cdevsw, this must always be
initialized to D_VERSION.
Flip sense of D_NOGIANT flag to D_NEEDGIANT, this involves removing
four D_NOGIANT flags and adding 145 D_NEEDGIANT flags.
Free approx 86 major numbers with a mostly automatically generated patch.
A number of strategic drivers have been left behind by caution, and a few
because they still (ab)use their major number.
MAC address in the EEPROM, and we need to get it from OpenFirmware.
This isn't very pretty but time is lacking to do this in a better
way this near 5.2-RELEASE. This is a RELENG_5_2 candidate.

frame, not the first. It is probably also not safe to free the mbuf chain
as soon as the OWN bit is cleared on the first descriptor since the chip
may not be done copying the frame into the transmit FIFO. Revert the part of
of busdma conversion (if_dc.c rev 1.115) which changed dc_txeof() to look for
the status in the first descriptor and free the mbuf chain when processing
the first descriptor for the frame, and revert the matching changes elsewhere
in the driver. This part of the busdma change caused the driver to report
spurious collisions and output errors, even when running in full-duplex mode.
Reverting the mbuf chain handling slightly complicates dc_dma_map_txbuf(),
since it is responsible for setting the OWN bits on the descriptors, but does
not normally have direct access to the mbuf chain.

report a hardware rev of 0x00000000. Sadly, the 8169 gigE MAC
also reports 0x00000000, so testing against this for exclusion
results in both cards being skipped by rl_probe(). Make the 8169
test more specific by matching against both the hwrev and the PCI
ID for this chip.

this driver by introducing a flag saying we already stopped the device.
On my Soekris net4801, this took a ping -i 0.001 from spending 80% of
time in interrupt handling to 10% (approx numbers).
This was a particular problem for the net4801 because the tree
interfaces share the same interrupt, but it would be a problem for
any configuration where an unused if_sis interface shares an interrupt
with a busy device.
Other drivers may have similar problems.
