bde 59d9519024 Avoid a race and a pessimization in bge_intr():
- moved the synchronizing bus read to after the bus write for the first
  interrupt ack so that it actually synchronizes everything necessary.

  We were acking not only the status update that triggered the interrupt
  together with any status updates that occurred before we got around
  to the bus write for the ack, but also any status updates that occur
  after we do the bus write but before the write reaches the device.
  The corresponding race for the second interrupt ack resulted in
  sometimes returning from the interrupt handler with acked but
  unserviced interrupt events.  Such events then remain unserviced
  until further events cause another interrupt or the watchdog times
  out.

  The race was often lost on my 5705, apparently since my 5705 has broken
  event coalescing which causes a status update for almost every packet,
  so another status update is quite likely to occur while the interrupt
  handler is running.  Watchdog timeouts weren't very noticeable,
  apparently because bge_txeof() has one of the usual bugs resetting the
  watchdog.

- don't disable device interrupts while bge_intr() is running.  Doing this
  just had the side effects of:
  - entering a device mode in which different coalescing parameters apply.
    Different coalescing parameters can be used to either inhibit or
    enhance the chance of getting another status update while in the
    interrupt handler.  This feature is useless with the current
    organization of the interrupt handler but might be useful with a
    taskqueue handler.
  - giving a race for ack+reenable/return.  This cannot be handled
    by simply rearranging the order of bus accesses like the race for
    ack+keepenable/entry.  It is necessary to sync the ack and then
    check for new events.
  - taking longer, especially with the extra code to avoid the race on
    ack+reenable/return.

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 ``world''
target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not
changed from the currently running version.  See:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

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.
