MFC r199670-199671,199674,199679,199761,199807-199808
r199670:
Fix two long standing bugs on bge(4). Most pre BCM5755 controllers
have a DMA bug when buffer address crosses a multiple of the 4GB
boundary(e.g. 4GB, 8GB, 12GB etc). Limit DMA address to be within
4GB address for these controllers. The second DMA bug limits DMA
address to be within 40bit address space. This bug applies to
BCM5714 and BCM5715 and 5708(bce(4) controller). This is not
actually a MAC controller bug but an issue with the embedded PCIe
to PCI-X bridge in the device. So for BCM5714/BCM5715 controllers
also limit the DMA address to be within 40bit address space.
Special thanks to davidch@ who gave me detailed errata information.
I think this change will fix long standing bge(4) instability
issues on systems with more than 4GB memory.
r199671:
Implement TSO for BCM5755 or newer controllers. Some controllers
seem to require a special firmware to use TSO. But the firmware is
not available to FreeBSD and Linux claims that the TSO performed by
the firmware is slower than hardware based TSO. Moreover the
firmware based TSO has one known bug which can't handle TSO if
ethernet header + IP/TCP header is greater than 80 bytes. The
workaround for the TSO bug exist but it seems it's too expensive
than not using TSO at all. Some hardwares also have the TSO bug so
limit the TSO to the controllers that are not affected TSO issues
(e.g. 5755 or higher).
While I'm here set VLAN tag bit to all descriptors that belengs to
a frame instead of the first descriptor of a frame. The datasheet
is not clear how to handle VLAN tag bit but it worked either way in
my testing. This makes it simplify TSO configuration a little bit.
Big thanks to davidch@ who sent me detailed TSO information.
Without this I was not able to implement it.
r199674:
Add missing function prototype in r199671.
r199679:
Reduce status block size DMAed by controller. bge(4) uses single
Tx/Rx/Rx return ring such that large part of status block was not
used at all. All bge(4) controllers except BCM5700 AX/BX has a
feature to control the size of status block. So use minimum status
block size allowed in controller. This reduces number of DMAed
status block size to 32 bytes from 80 bytes.
r199761:
BGE_FLAG_40BIT_BUG should be set before creating DMA tags.
r199807:
Make sure one shot MSI is enabled.
r199808:
Fix typo which inversed the logic which in turn disabled MSI.
