# 259065 07-Dec-2013 gjb

- Copy stable/10 (r259064) to releng/10.0 as part of the
10.0-RELEASE cycle.
- Update __FreeBSD_version [1]
- Set branch name to -RC1

[1] 10.0-CURRENT __FreeBSD_version value ended at '55', so
start releng/10.0 at '100' so the branch is started with
a value ending in zero.

cxgbe(4): Updates to the hardware L2 table management code.

- Add full support for IPv6 addresses.

- Read the size of the L2 table during attach. Do not assume that PCIe
physical function 4 of the card has all of the table to itself.

- Use FNV instead of Jenkins to hash L3 addresses and drop the private
copy of jhash.h from the driver.

# 241733 19-Oct-2012 ed

Prefer __containerof() over __member2struct().

The former works better with qualifiers, but also properly type checks
the input pointer.

- Updated TOE support in the kernel.

- Stateful TCP offload drivers for Terminator 3 and 4 (T3 and T4) ASICs.
These are available as t3_tom and t4_tom modules that augment cxgb(4)
and cxgbe(4) respectively. The cxgb/cxgbe drivers continue to work as
usual with or without these extra features.

- iWARP driver for Terminator 3 ASIC (kernel verbs). T4 iWARP in the
works and will follow soon.

Build-tested with make universe.

30s overview
============
What interfaces support TCP offload? Look for TOE4 and/or TOE6 in the
capabilities of an interface:
# ifconfig -m | grep TOE

Enable/disable TCP offload on an interface (just like any other ifnet
capability):
# ifconfig cxgbe0 toe
# ifconfig cxgbe0 -toe

Which connections are offloaded? Look for toe4 and/or toe6 in the
output of netstat and sockstat:
# netstat -np tcp | grep toe
# sockstat -46c | grep toe

Many updates to cxgbe(4)

- Device configuration via plain text config file. Also able to operate
when not attached to the chip as the master driver.

- Generic "work request" queue that serves as the base for both ctrl and
ofld tx queues.

- Generic interrupt handler routine that can process any event on any
kind of ingress queue (via a dispatch table).

- A couple of new driver ioctls. cxgbetool can now install a firmware
to the card ("loadfw" command) and can read the card's memory
("memdump" and "tcb" commands).

- Lots of assorted information within dev.t4nex.X.misc.* This is
primarily for debugging and won't show up in sysctl -a.

- Code to manage the L2 tables on the chip.

- Updates to cxgbe(4) man page to go with the tunables that have changed.

- Updates to the shared code in common/

- Updates to the driver-firmware interface (now at fw 1.4.16.0)

L2 table code. This is enough to get the T4's switch + L2 rewrite
filters working. (All other filters - switch without L2 info rewrite,
steer, and drop - were already fully-functional).

Some contrived examples of "switch" filters with L2 rewriting:

# cxgbetool t4nex0 iport 0 dport 80 action switch vlan +9 eport 3
Intercept all packets received on physical port 0 with TCP port 80 as
destination, insert a vlan tag with VID 9, and send them out of port 3.

# cxgbetool t4nex0 sip 192.168.1.1/32 ivlan 5 action switch \
vlan =9 smac aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff eport 0
Intercept all packets (received on any port) with source IP address
192.168.1.1 and VLAN id 5, rewrite the VLAN id to 9, rewrite source mac
to aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff, and send it out of port 0.
