it simple, and allocate one for each transmit and receive descriptor.
In addition to being simpler and faster, this fixes a serious memory leak
in the transmit path.
tested on any other platform other than i386. Use of bus_dma(9) can be
turned by defining TULIP_BUS_DMA_NOTX and TULIP_BUS_DMA_NORX. These allow
one to determine if the problem is in the transmit or receive path.
A problem reported by mycroft is also fixed.
pseudo-device rnd # /dev/random and in-kernel generator
in config files.
o Add declaration to all architectures.
o Clean up copyright message in rnd.c, rnd.h, and rndpool.c to include
that this code is derived in part from Ted Tyso's linux code.
memory-mapped or i/o-mapped access to the device registers, and always
choose memory-mapped if it is enabled. In particular, do _not_ explictly
disable the space we decide to not use, as this confuses some versions
of Alpha console software (which are arguably buggy because of this
problem).
Also, fix a logic error pointed out by Ross Harvey <ross@teraflop.com>
that would cause memory-mapped access to never be enabled.
by default if it's usable, but falling back to I/O space if mem isn't usable.
If TULIP_IOMAPPED is defined (default on the x86), prefer I/O space
then fall back to mem.
Some of the stuff (e.g., rarpd, bootpd, dhcpd etc., libsa) still will
only support Ethernet. Tcpdump itself should be ok, but libpcap needs
lot of work.
For the detailed change history, look at the commit log entries for
the is-newarp branch.
- No more distinction between i/o-mapped and memory-mapped
devices. It's all "bus space" now, and space tags
differentiate the space with finer grain than the
bus chipset tag.
- Add memory barrier methods.
- Implement space alloc/free methods.
- Implement region read/write methods (like memcpy to/from
bus space).
This interface provides a better abstraction for dealing with
machine-independent chipset drivers.
device and a printable "external name" (name + unit number), thus eliminating
if_name and if_unit. Updated interface to (*if_watchdog)() and (*if_reset)()
to take a struct ifnet *, rather than a unit number.
