# 285830 23-Jul-2015 gjb

- Copy stable/10@285827 to releng/10.2 in preparation for 10.2-RC1
builds.
- Update newvers.sh to reflect RC1.
- Update __FreeBSD_version to reflect 10.2.
- Update default pkg(8) configuration to use the quarterly branch.[1]

# 264442 14-Apr-2014 yongari

MFC r263957:
Increase the number of TX DMA segments from 32 to 35. It turned
out 32 is not enough to support a full sized TSO packet.
While I'm here fix a long standing bug introduced in r169632 in
bce(4) where it didn't include L2 header length of TSO packet in
the maximum DMA segment size calculation.


# 256281 10-Oct-2013 gjb

Copy head (r256279) to stable/10 as part of the 10.0-RELEASE cycle.

# 209818 08-Jul-2010 yongari

Remove enabling RX checksum offloading in RX filter setup. RX
checksum is enabled in sge_init_locked().
While I'm here do not set RX checksum bits in RX descriptor
initialization. It is controller's job to set these bits.

# 207851 10-May-2010 yongari

Implement TSO and TSO over VLAN. Increase number of allowed
fragmentation of mbuf chain to 32 from 16 because TSO can send 64KB
sized packet which in turn requires long list of mbuf chain. Due to
lack of documentation, I'm not sure whether driver have to pull up
ethernet/IP/TCP header with options to make controller work but
driver have to parse TCP header to update pseudo TCP checksum
anyway. The controller expects pseudo TCP checksum computed by
upper stack and the checksum should follow the MS NDIS
specification to make TSO work.

# 207628 04-May-2010 yongari

Enable multi-descriptor transmisstion for fragmented mbufs. There
is no more need to defragment mbufs. After transmitting the
multi-fragmented frame, the controller updates only the first
descriptor of multi-descriptor transmission so it's driver's
responsibility to clear OWN bits of remaining descriptor of
multi-descriptor transmission. It seems the controller behaves much
like jme(4) controllers in descriptor handling.

# 207380 29-Apr-2010 yongari

Enable VLAN hardware tag insertion/stripping. Due to lack of SiS190
controller, I'm not sure whether this is also applicable to SiS190
so this feature is only activated on SiS191 controller.
In theory, controller reinitialization is not needed when VLAN tag
configuration is changed, but xclin said controller was not stable
whenever toggling VLAN tag bit. To address that, sge(4)
reinitialize controller for VLAN configuration which seems to work
as expected. VLAN tag information for TX/RX descriptor and
configure bit of RxMacControl register was found by xclin.

# 207379 29-Apr-2010 yongari

Enable FCS stripping and padding 10 bytes bit of RX MAC control
register. Due to lack of SiS190 controller, I'm not sure whether
this is also applicable to SiS190 so this feature is only activated
on SiS191 controller.
The controller can pad 10 bytes before DMAing a received frame to
RX buffer and received bytes include the padded bytes. This padding
is very useful on strict-alignment architectures because driver
does not have to copy received frame to align IP header on 4 bytes
boundary. It also gives better RX performance on non-strict
alignment architectures. Special thanks to xclin to give me
valuable register information. Without his enthusiastic trial and
errors this wouldn't be even possible.

While I'm here tighten validity check of received frame. Controller
clears RDS_CRCOK bit when it received bad CRC frames. xclin found
that using loop back testing.

# 207377 29-Apr-2010 yongari

Explicitly marks SiS190 to differentiate it from SiS191.


# 206625 14-Apr-2010 yongari

Add driver for Silicon Integrated Systems SiS190/191 Fast/Gigabit Ethernet.
This driver was written by Alexander Pohoyda and greatly enhanced
by Nikolay Denev. I don't have these hardwares but this driver was
tested by Nikolay Denev and xclin.

Because SiS didn't release data sheet for this controller, programming
information came from Linux driver and OpenSolaris. Unlike other open
source driver for SiS190/191, sge(4) takes full advantage of TX/RX
checksum offloading and does not require additional copy operation in
RX handler.
The controller seems to have advanced offloading features like VLAN
hardware tag insertion/stripping, TCP segmentation offload(TSO) as
well as jumbo frame support but these features are not available
yet. Special thanks to xclin <xclin<> cs dot nctu dot edu dot tw>
who sent fix for receiving VLAN oversized frames.
