MFC r280430:

r280430 (by bz):

Make ix_crcstrip a public symbol for the moment;  it probably is not
the right solution but I will leave it to experts to untangle this
problem to properly stop the build failures.

At the moment only if_ix.c includes dev/netmap/ixgbe_netmap.h which is
good as ixgbe_netmap.h defines a couple of (file) static variables--thus
local to if_ix.c.
static int ix_crcstrip however now also got checked from ix_txrx.c
(as an extern) and should not be visible there.  In fact we do see
powerpc and powerpc64 build failures because of this.  It is unclear
to me why on other (clang built?) architectures this does not lead
to a reference of an undefined symbol and similar build breakage.

MFC 270063: update of netmap code

2014-08-20T23:34:36+00:00

(vtnet and cxgbe not merged yet because we need some other mfc first)

MFH: sync the netmap code with the one in HEAD

2014-02-18T05:01:04+00:00

(enhanced VALE switch, netmap pipes, emulated netmap mode).
See details in the log for svn 261909.

whitespace changes:

2013-04-29T18:00:53+00:00

remove $Id$ lines, and add blank lines around some #if / #elif /#endif

explicitly mark some variables as const

2013-04-29T16:58:21+00:00

add some definition and driver changes in preparation for

2013-01-17T22:14:58+00:00

two upcoming features:

semi-transparent mode:
    when a device is opened in this mode, the
    user program will be able to mark slots that must be forwarded
    to the "other" side (i.e. from NIC to host stack, or viceversa),
    and the forwarding will occur automatically at the next netmap syscall.
    This saves the need to open another file descriptor and do
    the forwarding manually.

direct-forwarding mode:
    when operating with a VALE port, the user can specify in the slot
    the actual destination port, overriding the forwarding decision
    made by a lookup of the destination MAC. This can be useful to
    implement packet dispatchers.

No API changes will be introduced.
No new functionality in this patch yet.

remove an incorrect comment and debugging code

2013-01-17T19:27:12+00:00

rename the 'tag' and 'map' fields used the rx ring to their

2012-12-20T22:26:03+00:00

previous names, 'ptag' and 'pmap' -- p stands for packet.

This change reduces the difference between the code in stable/9
and head, and also helps using the same ixgbe_netmap.h on both branches.

First of a series of 11 patches leading to new ixgbe version 2.5.0

This removes the header split and supporting code from the driver.
