found empiricaly that (at least on bcm5700s) the Rx coalesce and bd
counts cannot be updated on-the-fly; attempting to do so (even at
splhigh()) causes weird behaviour.
Instead, add a softc flag to record that the desired softc values for
Rx-interrupt thresholds have changed; check that boolean in the interrupt
routine. If set, apply the new values there and clear the flag.
BGE_MISC_TIMER register definition, and more bit definitions for
HCC-mode. (I would credit individuals, but the attributions are buried
deep in my own tree.)
Increase the default bpf buffer size used by naive apps that don't do
BIOCSBLEN, from 8k to 32k. The former value of 8192 is too small to
hold a normal jumbo Ethernet frame (circa 9k), 16k is a little small
for Large-jumbo (~16k) frames supported by newer gigabit
Ethernet/10Gbe, so (somewhat arbitrarily) increase the default to 32k.
Increase the upper limit to which BIOSBLEN can raise bpf buffer-size
drastically, to 1 Mbyte. State-of-the-art for packet capture circa
1999 was around 256k; savvy NetBSD developers now use 1 Mbyte.
Note that libpcap has been updated to do binary-search on BIOCSBLEN
values up to 1 Mbyte.
Work is in progress to make both values sysctl'able. Source comments
note that consensus on tech-net is that we should find some heuristic
to set the boot-time default values dynamically, based on system memory.
12160 Firmware Version 10.04.41 (10:30 Mar 21, 2003)
2200 Firmware Version 2.02.06 (08:39 Jun 26, 2003)
2300 Firmware Version 3.02.15 (08:26 Jul 21, 2003)
Matt's done some testing with it, and I've also tested on a very basic
setup with a QLA 2310 and a tower of 4 FC drives.
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any change log for the firmware.
size (via BIOCSBLEN). Obtained from FreeBSD 4.x; originally from
http://www.tcpdump.org's version of libpcap.
Taken verbatim from the FreeBSD 4.9 version, lint and all, other than
increasing the maximum size from 32Kibyte to an extremely generous
4Mibytes. We assume root will configure the in-kernel maximum value
sensibly on small-memory machines.
(struct in6pcb* versus struct inpcb*) in ipsec_getpolicybysock().
Add new macros (in lieu of an abstract data type) for a ``generic''
PCB_T (points to a struct inpcb* or struct in6pcb*) to ipsec_osdep.h.
Use those new macros in ipsec_getpolicybysock() and elsewhere.
