of associated mbuf clusters) in the RX ring from 4 to 16. On my
really fast PI 400Mhz test machines, 4 descriptors (and associated
mbuf clusters) is enough to achieve decent performance without any
RX overruns. However, one person reported problems with the following
scenario:
- P90 system running FreeBSD with a 3c905B-TX adapter, slow IDE hard
disk (Quantum Bigfoot?)
- PII 266 with SCSI disks running LoseNT and also with a 3c905B-TX
- Both machines connected together via crossover cable at 100Mbps
full-duplex
- LoseNT machine writing largs amounts of data (2.5 GB work of
files each in the neighborhood of 1 to 2 MB in size) via samba to
the FreeBSD machine
In this case, the LoseNT machine is sending data very fast. Apparently
there weren't any problems initially because the user was writing to
one particular disk which was relatively fast, however after this disk
filled up and the user started writing to the second slower disk, RX
overruns would occur and sometimes the RX DMA engine would stall after
a 100 to 500MB had been transfered. The xl_rxeof() handler is supposed
to detect this condition and restart the upload engine; I'm not sure
why it doesn't, unless interrupts are being lost and the rx handler
isn't getting called.
This is still an improvement over the Linux driver, which uses 32
descriptors in its receive ring. :)

'three-stage' bootstrap.
There are a number of caveats with the code in its current state:
- The i386 bootstrap only supports booting from a floppy.
- The kernel and kld do not yet know how to deal with the extended
information and module summary passed in.
- PnP-based autodetection and demand loading of modules is not implemented.
- i386 ELF kernel loading is not ready yet.
- The i386 bootstrap is loaded via an ugly blockmap.
On the alpha, both net- and disk-booting (SRM console machines only) is
supported. No blockmaps are used by this code.
Obtained from: Parts from the NetBSD/i386 standalone bootstrap.
They shouldn't be used there either. They should have gone away
about 3 years ago when the statically initialized devswitches went
away, but su.c unfortunately still frobs the cdevswitch in the old
way.
The check for dropping unicast packets not sent to our ethernet
address is after the bpf tap, but not conditioned on it. All packets
received should get handed to bpf, and unicast packets not to us (mac)
should get dropped whether or not there is a bpf listener. I believe
that the common optimization that the interface is in hw promisc mode
iff there is a bpf listener is in general wrong, but more frequently
so on wavelans.
I think Max's fix makes bpf listeners not see unicast packets sent to
others, but I'm not sure.
One can argue that checking on MOD_ENAL is wrong, but the code only
drops packets that shouldn't be received. The correctness condition
is that it be run whenever unicast packets without our mac address can
be received.

If I'm reading the manual correctly, the 3c905B actually loses its
PCI configuration during the transition from D3(hot) back to D0, not
during the transition from D0 to D3(hot). This means it should be possible
to save the existing PCI settings, restet the power state, then restore
the PCI settings afterwards. Changed xl_attach() to attempt this first
thing before the normal PCI setup. I'm not certain this will work correctly,
but it shouldn't hurt.
If xl_init() is called while an autoneg session is in progress, the
autoneg timeout and chip state will get clobbered. Try to avoid this
by checking sc->xl_autoneg at the start of xl_init() and defer
the initialization until later if it's set. (xl_init() is always called
at the end of an autoneg session by xl_autoneg_mii().)

Don't call ttsetwater() explicitly in open(). It is now called for

since (hardware) ttys have too low a bandwidth to benefit significantly
from large buffers. Use twice the old limit for the new-default case
and 8 times the old limit for the driver-specifies-watermark case.
Nothing uses these cases yet.
Removed related debugging code.
I don't have access to a real VT220 to verify this against.
However, I'm committing the patch in `good faith' because
(a) getting hold of a real VT220 is going to be increasingly difficult
the longer the PR sits around,
(b) some one was troubled enough to in a PR and
(c) the fix is minor and has no other implications.

The fix is to move currentldt to the per-cpu area. It includes

clustering is obsolescent technology so hardly anyone noticed. On
a DORS 32160 SCSI drive with 4 tags, read clustering makes very
little difference even for huge sequential reads. However, on a
ZIP SCSI drive with 0 tags, the minimum overhead per block is about
40 msec, so very large clusters must be used to get anywhere near
the maximum transfer rate. Using clusters consisting of 1 8K block
reduces the transfer rate to about 250K/sec. Under msdosfs, missing
read clustering is normal and a cluster size of 1 512 byte block
reduces the transfer rate to about 25K/sec.

applications. Here's how it works.
The kernel should include <machine/elf.h> to get the definitions
for the native architecture. It can reference the various ELF
structures with generic names like Elf_Sym, Elf_Shdr, etc. A define
__ELF_WORD_SIZE is also available with the value 32 or 64 as
appropriate for the native architecture.
Generic applications should include <elf.h>, which is just a wrapper
for <machine/elf.h>.
Applications such as object file dumpers that need to deal with
foreign ELF files can include <sys/elf32.h> and/or <sys/elf64.h>.
Both can be included from the same source file if desired. The
structure names must be referenced using wordsize-specific names
like Elf32_Sym, Elf64_Shdr, etc.
I haven't change the alpha stuff, but I haven't broken it either.
Cast pointers to (vm_offset_t) instead of to (u_long) (as before) or to
(uintptr_t)(void *) (as would be more correct). Don't cast vm_offset_t's
to (u_long) just to do arithmetic on them.
mp_machdep.c:
Cast pointers to (uintptr_t) instead of to (u_long). Don't forget
to cast pointers to (void *) first or to recover from integral
possible integral promotions, although this is too much work for
machine-dependent code.
vm code generally avoids warnings for pointer vs long size mismatches
by using vm_offset_t to represent pointers; pmap.c often uses plain
`unsigned int' instead of vm_offset_t and didn't use u_long elsewhere,
but this style was messed up by code apparently imported from mp_machdep.c.

pointers. Neither is portable, but "correct" casts to integral
types are much uglier - they lead to expressions like
ptr = (struct struct_with_too_long_a_name *)(void *)(uintptr_t)
((uintptr_t)(void *)ptr + offset);
Here the cast to the struct pointer is to match the surrounding
style of this file (and not depend on C's feature of properly
converting `void *' on assignment or cast), the `void *' casts are
because uintptr_t is only specified to work on `void *' pointers
(I missed this in about 100 lines of previous changes from [u]long
to [u]intptr_t), the outer cast to a uintptr_t is in case the
addition promoted the type, and the inner cast to a uintptr_t
corresponds to the one cast to an integer in the original code.
Don't depend on gcc's feature of casting lvalues.

ioctl() routine at the end of if_delmulti() so that interfaces with
hardware multicast filtering can update their filters in a timely
manner.
If the interface doesn't support hardware multicast filtering, then
reception of multicast frames is done using 'promiscious mode' or
'capture all multicast frames' mode and software filtering in the
kernel. In this case, it doesn't matter if if_delmulti() ever does
an SCIODELMULTI on the interface or not: if MULTICAST support is
enabled, then we join the 'all hosts' group when the interface is
configured, and remain in it until the interface is brought down.
Without hardware filtering, joining one group means joining all
groups, so it makes no difference if we call the SIOCDELMULTI
routine.
If the interface does support hardware multicast filtering, then
by not reprogramming the hardware filter in if_delmulti(), we have
to wait until somebody calls if_setmulti(), during which time the
interface is receiving frames for multicast groups in which we are
no longer interested.
