includes support for the NIC and TOE features of the 40G, 10G, and
1G/100M cards based on the T5.
The ASIC is mostly backward compatible with the Terminator 4 so cxgbe(4)
has been updated instead of writing a brand new driver. T5 cards will
show up as cxl (short for cxlgb) ports attached to the t5nex bus driver.

the firmware (instead of just the main firmware version) when evaluating
firmware compatibility. Document the new "hw.cxgbe.fw_install" knob
being introduced here.
This should fix kern/173584 too. Setting hw.cxgbe.fw_install=2 will
mostly do what was requested in the PR but it's a bit more intelligent
in that it won't reinstall the same firmware repeatedly if the knob is
left set.

- 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.

This lets userspace read arbitrary information from the SFP+ modules
etc. on this bus.
Reading multiple bytes in the same transaction isn't possible right now.
I'll update the driver once the chip's firmware supports this.

Basically, this is automatic rx zero copy when feasible. TCP payload is
DMA'd directly into the userspace buffer described by the uio submitted
in soreceive by an application.
- Works with sockets that are being handled by the TCP offload engine
of a T4 chip (you need t4_tom.ko module loaded after cxgbe, and an
"ifconfig +toe" on the cxgbe interface).
- Does not require any modification to the application.
- Not enabled by default. Use hw.t4nex.<X>.toe.ddp="1" to enable it.
- 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

- 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)

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.

down. The ingress queue lock was unused and has been removed as part of
these changes.
- An in-flight egress update from the SGE must be handled before the
queue that requested it is destroyed. Wait for the update to arrive.
- Interrupt handlers must stop processing rx events for a queue before
the queue is destroyed. Events that have not yet been processed
should be ignored once the queue disappears.
