# 259065 07-Dec-2013 gjb

- Copy stable/10 (r259064) to releng/10.0 as part of the
10.0-RELEASE cycle.
- Update __FreeBSD_version [1]
- Set branch name to -RC1

[1] 10.0-CURRENT __FreeBSD_version value ended at '55', so
start releng/10.0 at '100' so the branch is started with
a value ending in zero.

# 254804 24-Aug-2013 andre

Restructure the mbuf pkthdr to make it fit for upcoming capabilities and
features. The changes in particular are:

o Remove rarely used "header" pointer and replace it with a 64bit protocol/
layer specific union PH_loc for local use. Protocols can flexibly overlay
their own 8 to 64 bit fields to store information while the packet is
worked on.

o Mechanically convert IP reassembly, IGMP/MLD and ATM to use pkthdr.PH_loc
instead of pkthdr.header.

o Extend csum_flags to 64bits to allow for additional future offload
information to be carried (e.g. iSCSI, IPsec offload, and others).

o Move the RSS hash type enumerator from abusing m_flags to its own 8bit
rsstype field. Adjust accessor macros.

o Add cosqos field to store Class of Service / Quality of Service information
with the packet. It is not yet supported in any drivers but allows us to
get on par with Cisco/Juniper in routing applications (plus MPLS QoS) with
a modernized ALTQ.

o Add four 8 bit fields l[2-5]hlen to store the relative header offsets
from the start of the packet. This is important for various offload
capabilities and to relieve the drivers from having to parse the packet
and protocol headers to find out location of checksums and other
information. Header parsing in drivers is a lot of copy-paste and
unhandled corner cases which we want to avoid.

o Add another flexible 64bit union to map various additional persistent
packet information, like ether_vtag, tso_segsz and csum fields.
Depending on the csum_flags settings some fields may have different usage
making it very flexible and adaptable to future capabilities.

o Restructure the CSUM flags to better signify their outbound (down the
stack) and inbound (up the stack) use. The CSUM flags used to be a bit
chaotic and rather poorly documented leading to incorrect use in many
places. Bring clarity into their use through better naming.
Compatibility mappings are provided to preserve the API. The drivers
can be corrected one by one and MFC'd without issue.

o The size of pkthdr stays the same at 48/56bytes (32/64bit architectures).

# 254263 12-Aug-2013 scottl

Update PCI drivers to no longer look at the MEMIO-enabled bit in the PCI
command register. The lazy BAR allocation code in FreeBSD sometimes
disables this bit when it detects a range conflict, and will re-enable
it on demand when a driver allocates the BAR. Thus, the bit is no longer
a reliable indication of capability, and should not be checked. This
results in the elimination of a lot of code from drivers, and also gives
the opportunity to simplify a lot of drivers to use a helper API to set
the busmaster enable bit.

This changes fixes some recent reports of disk controllers and their
associated drives/enclosures disappearing during boot.

Improve the MSIX setup code in the drivers, thanks to Marius for
the changes. Make sure that pci_alloc_msix() does give us the vectors
we need and fall back to MSI when it doesn't, also release any that
were allocated when insufficient.

# 247822 04-Mar-2013 jfv

First, sync to internal shared code, and then

Fixes:
- flow control - don't override user value on re-init
- fix to make 1G optics work correctly
- change to interrupt enabling - some bits were incorrect
for certain hardware.
- certain stats fixes, remove a duplicate increment of
ierror, thanks to Scott Long for pointing these out.
- shared code link interface changed, requiring some
core code changes to accomodate this.
- add an m_adj() to ETHER_ALIGN on the recieve side, this
was requested by Mike Karels, thanks Mike.
- Multicast code corrections also thanks to Mike Karels.


# 246482 07-Feb-2013 rrs

This fixes a out-of-order problem with several
of the newer drivers. The basic problem was
that the driver was pulling the mbuf off the
drbr ring and then when sending with xmit(), encounting
a full transmit ring. Thus the lower layer
xmit() function would return an error, and the
drivers would then append the data back on to the ring.
For TCP this is a horrible scenario sure to bring
on a fast-retransmit.

The fix is to use drbr_peek() to pull the data pointer
but not remove it from the ring. If it fails then
we either call the new drbr_putback or drbr_advance
method. Advance moves it forward (we do this sometimes
when the xmit() function frees the mbuf). When
we succeed we always call advance. The
putback will always copy the mbuf back to the top
of the ring. Note that the putback *cannot* be used
with a drbr_dequeue() only with drbr_peek(). We most
of the time, in putback, would not need to copy it
back since most likey the mbuf is still the same, but
sometimes xmit() functions will change the mbuf via
a pullup or other call. So the optimial case for
the single consumer is to always copy it back. If
we ever do a multiple_consumer (for lagg?) we
will need a test and atomic in the put back possibly
a seperate putback_mc() in the ring buf.

# 241037 28-Sep-2012 glebius

The drbr(9) API appeared to be so unclear, that most drivers in
tree used it incorrectly, which lead to inaccurate overrated
if_obytes accounting. The drbr(9) used to update ifnet stats on
drbr_enqueue(), which is not accurate since enqueuing doesn't
imply successful processing by driver. Dequeuing neither mean
that. Most drivers also called drbr_stats_update() which did
accounting again, leading to doubled if_obytes statistics. And
in case of severe transmitting, when a packet could be several
times enqueued and dequeued it could have been accounted several
times.

o Thus, make drbr(9) API thinner. Now drbr(9) merely chooses between
ALTQ queueing or buf_ring(9) queueing.
- It doesn't touch the buf_ring stats any more.
- It doesn't touch ifnet stats anymore.
- drbr_stats_update() no longer exists.

o buf_ring(9) handles its stats itself:
- It handles br_drops itself.
- br_prod_bytes stats are dropped. Rationale: no one ever
reads them but update of a common counter on every packet
negatively affects performance due to excessive cache
invalidation.
- buf_ring_enqueue_bytes() reduced to buf_ring_enqueue(), since
we no longer account bytes.

o Drivers handle their stats theirselves: if_obytes, if_omcasts.

o mlx4(4), igb(4), em(4), vxge(4), oce(4) and ixv(4) no longer
use drbr_stats_update(), and update ifnet stats theirselves.

o bxe(4) was the most correct driver, it didn't call
drbr_stats_update(), thus it was the only driver accurate under
moderate load. Now it also maintains stats itself.

o ixgbe(4) had already taken stats from hardware, so just
- drop software stats updating.
- take multicast packet count from hardware as well.

o mxge(4) just no longer needs NO_SLOW_STATS define.

o cxgb(4), cxgbe(4) need no change, since they obtain stats
from hardware.

Consistently use types in ixgbe driver code:

- {ixgbe,ixv}_header_split is passed to TUNABLE_INT, so delcare it
int, not bool.
- {ixgbe,ixv}_tx_ctx_setup() returns a boolean value, so declare it
bool, not int.
- {ixgbe,ixv}_tso_setup() returns a bool, so declare it bool, not boolean_t.
- {ixgbe,ixv}_txeof() returns a bool, so declare it bool, not boolean_t.
- Do not re-define bool if the symbol already exists.

# 222588 01-Jun-2011 jfv

First off: update the driver README, the old one was horribly
crusty, and this still isn't perfect, but its at least a bit
more recent.

Secondly, a few improvements to the driver from Andrew Boyer,
support hint to allow devices to not attach, add VLAN_HWTSO
capability so vlans can use TSO, fix in the interrupt handler
to make sure the stack TX queue is processed. Oh, and also
make sure IPv6 does not cause a re-init in the ioctl routine.
Thanks for your efforts Andrew!

Thanks to Claudio Jeker for noticing the ixgbe_xmit() routine
was not correctly swapping the dma map from the first to the
last descriptor in a multi-descriptor transmission, corrected
this.

Update ixgbe driver to verion 2.3.6
- This adds a VM SRIOV interface, ixv, it is however
transparent to the user, it links with the ixgbe.ko,
but when ixgbe is loaded in a virtualized guest with
SRIOV configured this will be detected.
- Sync shared code to latest
- Many bug fixes and improvements, thanks to everyone
who has been using the driver and reporting issues.
