step in making this driver more attachment neutral. Others plan on
adding acpi front ends.
Still need to cleanup the MI part of the driver because it isn't as
bus independent as it could be.
This should allow us to more easily break out the acpi and 'legacy pc'
front ends as well (so only the bus front end would touch rtc, for
example).
This isn't a great separation, since isa dma routines are still called
from the MI code, but it is a start.
- In subr_ndis.c:ndis_allocate_sharemem(), create the busdma tags
used for shared memory allocations with a lowaddr of 0x3E7FFFFF.
This forces the buffers to be mapped to physical/bus addresses within
the first 1GB of physical memory. It seems that at least one card
(Linksys Instant Wireless PCI V2.7) depends on this behavior. I
don't know if this is a hardware restriction, or if the NDIS
driver for this card is truncating the addresses itself, but using
physical/bus addresses beyong the 1GB limit causes initialization
failures.
- Create am NDIS_INITIALIZED() macro in if_ndisvar.h and use it in
if_ndis.c to test whether the device has been initialized rather
than checking for the presence of the IFF_UP flag in if_flags.
While debugging the previous problem, I noticed that bringing
up the device would always produce failures from ndis_setmulti().
It turns out that the following steps now occur during device
initialization:
- IFF_UP flag is set in if_flags
- ifp->if_ioctl() called with SIOCSIFADDR (which we don't handle)
- ifp->if_ioctl() called with SIOCADDMULTI
- ifp->if_ioctl() called with SIOCADDMULTI (again)
- ifp->if_ioctl() called with SIOCADDMULTI (yet again)
- ifp->if_ioctl() called with SIOCSIFFLAGS
Setting the receive filter and multicast filters can only be done
when the underlying NDIS driver has been initialized, which is done
by ifp->if_init(). However, we don't call ifp->if_init() until
ifp->if_ioctl() is called with SIOCSIFFLAGS and IFF_UP has been
set. It appears that now, the network stack tries to add multicast
addresses to interface's filter before those steps occur. Normally,
ndis_setmulti() would trap this condition by checking for the IFF_UP
flag, but the network code has in fact set this flag already, so
ndis_setmulti() is fooled into thinking the interface has been
initialized when it really hasn't.
It turns out this is usually harmless because the ifp->if_init()
routine (in this case ndis_init()) will set up the multicast
filter when it initializes the hardware anyway, and the underlying
routines (ndis_get_info()/ndis_set_info()) know that the driver/NIC
haven't been initialized yet, but you end up spurious error messages
on the console all the time.
Something tells me this new behavior isn't really correct. I think
the intention was to fix it so that ifp->if_init() is only called
once when we ifconfig an interface up, but the end result seems a
little bogus: the change of the IFF_UP flag should be propagated
down to the driver before calling any other ioctl() that might actually
require the hardware to be up and running.
When avoiding the zeroing of "bogus_page" when it appears in a buf,
be sure to advance the pointers into the data for successive pages.
The bug caused file corruption when read(2)ing from a "hole" in a
file where a previous page of the read block had already been faulted
in: fsx tripped up on this pretty quickly. The particular access
pattern is probably pretty unusual, so other applications probably
wouldn't have had problems, but you'd never know.

It is critical that we use it on PowerPC. It generally isn't a problem

hangs due to recent preemption changes. This change appears to remove
the panic that I was running into, but at the cost of increasing
ithread scheduling latency, and as such is a temporary band-aid until
jhb has a chance to resolve the ule<->preemption interaction that is
the source of the problem. If it doesn't fix the problem for others--
sorry!
