freebsd kernel with SKQ

- 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. |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
