1. fix possible hang in en_txlaunch(). when attempting to extend
the length of an mbuf to avoid a flush we should extend it
by cnt [which is ((need - len) % 4)] rather than 4 - cnt.
also, add an EN_DEBUG printf() when we pad/FLUSH a buffer
to help with debugging/understanding what the driver is up to.
2. use interface packet counters
3. when turning off a recv VCI we recompute the new mode. make sure
we don't include the "in service" bit in the new mode, otherwise
a VCI may appear "hung" if you turn it off while a service
interrupt is pending.
4. when shutting down a VCI that is still receiving data, don't bother
going into "drain mode" if only the hardware in service bit is
set (otherwise the VCI may get "hung" in drain mode).
as a result of this we may get "unexpected rx interrupt" messages
which are not really an error, so put this printf in EN_DEBUG.
5. be sure to zero txspeed[lcv] when enabling a VCI (start at full
speed). (hooks for setting txspeed[] are currently not in
the driver, but we are playing with it locally).

If not compiled with -D_KERNEL, include different includes and
do so macro magic so that this will fit sanely into test harnesses.
When used in user-land, this should be compiled with -D_EXTENT_TESTING.
Bug fixes:
(extent_insert_and_optimize) You can't do things like:
LIST_REMOVE(elem->...le_next, ...);
free(elem->...le_next, ...);
They just don't work (and will corrupt your list and/or malloc free list).
(extent_alloc_region_descriptor) Unless you wait, malloc can fail.
Don't accidentally deref a potentially-NULL pointer.
2841, plus some fixes to make the patches work on the Alpha. Seems to
improve the NCR driver a lot. We probably should try to incorporate
any updates that have happened since, too.
Interrupts for irqs with handlers are counted as normal, even if none of
the handlers claim the interrupt.
Should all be redone with hierarchical event counters. that count
hardware events and invocations of each handler separately.
* Increment cnt.v_intr for normal interrupts (bugfix).
to initialize conspa was invalid on non-040 machines, since we don't
know which MMU we're using on those, yet. On the other hand, by the time
we get to check_video() on the 040 machines, the MMU has been disabled.
Compromise: get the video PA in setmachdep() on the 040, and in
check_video() on the others. (This is not optimal. *sigh*)
ioctl and mmap routines take a void *, rather than a struct device *,
so that they can be set up to work more easily when using a 'struct device *'
isn't appropriate. Add a cookie (void *) to be passed to the mmap and
ioctl routines. Rename a few struct members, and shuffle them into
a more sensible order.
front-ends. Unfortunately, because of the way ISA and PCI are currently
probed, if you have a PCI VGA board in your machine and both drivers
in your kernel, the ISA VGA driver may accidentally match the PCI board.
For now, the only solution to this is to not put both drivers in
the GENERIC kernels.
Earlier, we re-complained about excessive token losses about once a minute.
However, on small ARCnet networks, the token will also be lost if only one
station (us) is active (ifconfig'd down interfaces don't take place in the
token exchange), and our syslog would be filled with repeated messages about
this condition.
Our new code only complains once, starts a timeout() each time a token
regeneration is reported by the chip, and generates a log message about
the regenerated token if it was stable for 15 seconds.
buffer out of the hardware (it is invalid!).
This fixes hangups due to spurious rx interupts.
XXX Maybe I should completely reset the hardware in this case?
- New variables: biosextmem, biosbasemem, nkpde
- Above can be set by using the options BIOSEXTMEM, BIOSBASEMEM,
and NKPDE respectively (EXTMEM_SIZE is now called BIOSEXTMEM).
When preset this way, they won't be filled in / calculated.
- Readable by sysctl using machdep.nkpde, machdep.biosbasemem
and machdep.biosextmem.
- nkpde is calculated as:
min(NKPDE_MAX, NKPDE_BASE + (biosextmem >> 10) * NKPDE_SCALE)
Where NKPDE_MAX is 31, NKPDE_BASE is 4, NKPDE_SCALE = 1.
* Add a slot in the softc, ep_pktlenshift, to indicate that
a board implements ``large packets'' (FDDI-sized frames) and
therefore implicitly shifts the argument to packet-length commands
by two bits to fit a 13-bit length in an 11-bit command argument field.
* Change the reset of station-mask filterto be independent of bus-type
(e.g.,. for 3c515)
* Replace the "2044" constant used to disable TX threshold interrupts
on 3c509-generation cards with a #define. Use 2047 instead,
since that works on the large-packet cards (Vortex, Demon, Boomerang)
and 2044 doesn't.
* Add code to epconfing to probe for large-packet support,
set the softc appropriately, and shift packet sizes in commands
by ep_pktlenshift to compensate for the implicit shift.
* Tweak the epconfig() code to avoid hanging on startup.
Set the Tx threshold to interrupt when there's space for
a maximal-sized ether frame, then do epinit() then epstop(),
instead of just the Tx and Rx reset. Required on at least a 3c595.
Tested on a 3c595, but not on 3c509-generation hardware.
We test this condition AFTER the interupt condition, because it is only
disabled during autoconfiguration.
Without this patch, if autoconfiguration takes long enough, eventually a
timer interupt will call hardclock() and panic the machine.
