# 281954 24-Apr-2015 ngie

MFC r279393:

Pad RX copy alignment calculation to avoid illegal memory accesses

The optimization made in r239940 is valid for struct mbuf's current structure
and size in FreeBSD, but hardcodes assumptions about sizes of struct mbuf,
which are unfortunately broken if additional data is added to the beginning of
struct mbuf

X-MFC note (discussed with rwatson):

This change requires the MPKTHSIZE definition, which is only available after
head@r277203 and will not be MFCed as it breaks mbuf(9) KPI.

A direct commit to stable/10 and merges to other branches to add the necessary
definitions to work with the code as-is will be done to facilitate this MFC

# 251964 18-Jun-2013 jfv

Add quad port probe support, this gives the admin proper information about the slot
(which should be a PCIE Gen 3 slot for this adapter) by looking back thru the PCI
parent devices to the slot device.

The fix above also corrects the bandwidth display to GT/s rather than the
incorrect Gb/s

Next, allow the use of ALTQ if you select the compile option IXGBE_LEGACY_TX.

Allow the use of 'unsupported' optic modules by a compile option as well.

Add a phy reset capability into the stop code, this is so a static configured
driver will still behave properly when taken down (not being able to unload it).

This revision synchronizes the shared code with Intel internal current code,
and note that it now includes DCB supporting code, this was necessitated by
some internal changes with the code, but it also will provide the opportunity
to develop this feature in the core driver down the road.

I have edited the README to get rid of some of the worse anachronisms in it
as well, its by no means as robust as I might wish at this point however.

Oh, I also have included some conditional stuff in the code so it will be
compatible in both the 9.X and 10 environments.

Performance has been a focus in recent changes and I believe this revision
driver will perform very well in most workloads.

# 244514 20-Dec-2012 luigi

rename the 'tag' and 'map' fields used the rx ring to their
previous names, 'ptag' and 'pmap' -- p stands for packet.

This change reduces the difference between the code in stable/9
and head, and also helps using the same ixgbe_netmap.h on both branches.

# 243736 01-Dec-2012 jfv

Patch #11 - The final patch: this one greatly improves the
TX hot path by getting rid of index calculations and simply
managing pointers. Much of the creative code is due to my
coworker here at Intel, Alex Duyck, thanks Alex!

Also, this whole series of patches was given the critical
eye of Gleb Smirnoff and is all the better for it, thanks
Gleb!


# 243729 30-Nov-2012 jfv

Patch #8 Performance changes - this one improves locality,
moving some counters and data to the ring struct from
the adapter struct, also compressing some data in the
move.


# 243728 30-Nov-2012 jfv

Patch #7 This is primarily about processing limit control.
- add a limit for both RX and TX, change the default to 256
- change the sysctl usage to be common, and now to be called
during init for each ring.
- the TX limit is not yet used, but the changes in the last
patch in this series uses the value.
- the motivation behind these changes is to improve data
locality in the final code.
- rxeof interface changes since it now gets limit from the
ring struct


# 243725 30-Nov-2012 jfv

Patch #6 Whitespace cleanup, and removal of some very old
defines (at Gleb's request). Also, change the defines around
the old transmit code to IXGBE_LEGACY_TX, I do this to make
it possible to define this regardless of the OS level (it is
not defined by default). There are also a couple changed
comments for clarity.


# 243724 30-Nov-2012 jfv

Patch #5 Cleanup unused IEEE1588 code fragments, the day may
come when this feature gets implemented, but its not here yet
and I see no reason to leave this laying around.


# 243718 30-Nov-2012 jfv

Patch #3 - Add a new ioctl to access SFP+ module diagnostic
data via the I2C routines in shared code.


# 243716 30-Nov-2012 jfv

Patch #2 - remove OACTIVE and DEPLETED notions from the
multiqueue code, this functionality has proven to be more
trouble than it was worth. Thanks to Gleb for a second
critical look over my code and help in the patches!


# 243714 30-Nov-2012 jfv

First of a series of 11 patches leading to new ixgbe version 2.5.0
This removes the header split and supporting code from the driver.


# 240968 26-Sep-2012 jhb

Merge similar fixes from 223198 from igb to ixgbe:
- Use a dedicated task to handle deferred transmits from the if_transmit
method instead of reusing the existing per-queue interrupt task.
Reusing the per-queue interrupt task could result in both an interrupt
thread and the taskqueue thread trying to handle received packets on a
single queue resulting in out-of-order packet processing and lock
contention.
- Don't define ixgbe_start() at all where if_transmit is used.

# 239940 31-Aug-2012 scottl

Heavily optimize the case of small RX packets of 160 bytes or less. For
this case, allocate a plain mbuf and copy the frame into it, then send the
copy up the stack, leaving the original mbuf+cluster in place in the
receive ring for immediate re-use. This saves a trip through 2 of the
3 zones of the compound mbuf allocator, a trip through busdma, and a trip
through the 1 of the 3 mbuf destructors. For our load at Netflix, this can
lower CPU consumption by as much as 20%. The copy algorithm is based on
investigative work from Luigi Rizzo earlier in the year.

# 234620 23-Apr-2012 bz

If we pass down 64k - L2 hdr size + 1 to 64K L3+ data adding an ether
header will make the data go over the 64k limits announced to busdma as
maxsize and the transaction will fail.

With TSO this can result in a TCP regression due to the lost packet.

According to the data sheets ixgbe(4) 82598 and 82599 can handle up to
256k so increase the maximum.

# 230775 30-Jan-2012 jfv

New hardware support: Intel X540 adapter support added.
Some shared code reorganization along with the new adapter.
Sync changes to OACTIVE in igb into this driver.
Misc small fixes.


# 221189 28-Apr-2011 jfv

Add a #define for driver portability to older OS


# 221041 25-Apr-2011 jfv

- Add the RX refresh changes from igb to ixgbe
- Also a couple minor tweaks to the TX code from the same source.
- Add the INET ioctl code which has been missing from this driver,
and which caused IP aliases to reset the interface.
- Last, some minor logic changes that just reflect upcoming
hardware support, but have no other functional effect now.

# 217593 19-Jan-2011 jfv

Update driver to version 2.3.8:
CRITICAL FIX - with stats changes the older 82598 will panic
and trash the stack on driver load, FCOE registers ONLY exist
in 82599 and must not be read otherwise.

kern/153951 - to correct incorrect media type on adapters
with pluggable modules I have eliminated the old static
table in favor of a new dynamic shared code routine. This
also has the benefit of detecting changes when a different
module is inserted.

Performance/enhancement to the Flow Director code from my
linux coworker (the developer of the code).

Fixes from Michael Tuexen - a data corruption problem on the
82599 (CRITICAL), fix so the buf size correctly adjusts as
the cluster changes, and max descriptors are set properly.
Also added 16K clusters for those REALLY big jumbos :)

In the RX path, the RX LOCK was not being released, and this
causes LOR problems. Add the code that igb already has.

Sync with in house shared code, this was necessary for the
Flow Director fix.

# 217129 07-Jan-2011 jfv

Fix to kern/150247 - make ixgbe buildable for 7.x


# 215914 27-Nov-2010 jfv

and the header...


# 215911 26-Nov-2010 jfv

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.


# 211913 28-Aug-2010 yongari

Do not allocate multicast array memory in multicast filter
configuration function. For failed memory allocations, em(4)/lem(4)
called panic(9) which is not acceptable on production box.
igb(4)/ixgb(4)/ix(4) allocated the required memory in stack which
consumed 768 bytes of stack memory which looks too big.

To address these issues, allocate multicast array memory in device
attach time and make multicast configuration success under any
conditions. This change also removes the excessive use of memory in
stack.

# 208282 19-May-2010 jfv

A few changes:
When not defining header split do not allocate mbufs,
this can be a BIG savings in the mbuf memory pool.

Also keep seperate dma maps for the header and
payload pieces when doing header split. The basis
of this code was a patch done a while ago by
yongari, thank you :)

A number of white space changes.

# 205904 30-Mar-2010 jfv

Thanks to Michael Tuexen for adding SCTP support for 82599,
also for finding a one character bug that kept TSO from working.

Sometimes with direct attach cables a failure can occur in init,
the old method of calling detach was broken, there is no way to
return an error to the system from init, so I have changed it to
return failure thru the ioctl.

And, have fixed the ALTQ code changes of Max Laier, sorry Max :)


# 205720 27-Mar-2010 jfv

Update the driver to Intel version 2.1.6
- add some new hardware support for 82599
- Big change to interrupt architecture, it now
uses a queue which contains an RX/TX pair as
the recipient of the interrupt. This will reduce
overall system interrupts/msix usage.
- Improved RX mbuf handling: the old get_buf routine
is no longer synchronized with rxeof, this allows
the elimination of packet discards due to mbuf
allocation failure.
- Much simplified and improved AIM code, it now
happens in the queue interrupt context and takes
into account both the traffic on the RX AND TX
side.
- variety of small tweaks, like ring size, that have
been seen as performance improvements.
- Thanks to those that provided feedback or suggested
changes, I hope I've caught all of them.


# 200239 07-Dec-2009 jfv

Update driver to Intel version 2.0.7:

This adds new feature support for the 82599, a hardware
assist to LRO, doing this required a large revamp to the
RX cleanup code because the descriptor ring may not be
processed out of order, this necessitated the elimination
of global pointers.

Additionally, the RX routine now does not refresh mbufs
on every descriptor, rather it will do a range, and then
update the hardware pointer at that time. These are
performance oriented changes.

The TX side now has a cleaner simpler watchdog algorithm
as well, in TX cleanup a read of ticks is stored, that
can then be compared in local_timer to determine if
there is a hang.

Various other cleanups along the way, thanks to all who
have provided input and testing.


# 194875 24-Jun-2009 jfv

Update for the Intel 10G driver, this adds support for

# 172043 04-Sep-2007 jfv

This is an update to the new Intel 10G 82598 driver.
The first drop was Beta, this code is expected to be the release version.
Note that this driver code will build in either 6.2 or 7. If you
