Recent Intel Ethernet driver fixes for FreeBSD
-
Sooo if I update to latest snapshot, this should be in?
And thanks to anyone involved!

If you take a snapshot from November 17th and thereafter yes.
I merely took the fixes from 8-STABLE, no heavy-lifting backports from the 9-STABLE, but I guess this is what you've been looking for.
(I'm mostly interested in the igb multiqueue patch, since I'm working with a multicore box and I350's here)Since I used git cherry-pick, the patches contain the commit message so you can check if it's what you've been waiting for.
I spent some time to identify and nuke disabled patches in the RELENG_8_3 directory, the ones mentioned initially are gone by now.
They were all already disabled and coming from the "dark ages" of 2.0.1 or even older ;-) -
Mat, since I noticed your comment at GitHub
>hopefully adding some more ore less interesting backport from 8-STABLE against Broadcom bge and bce.
this is just a heads-up that there were several MFCs for Broadcom bge merged into 8-STABLE today.

I have them on my radar since e1000, bge, bce cover quite what is used in most server boards these days.
But since both bge and bce make up a pretty bunch of patches I hesitated a bit.
If there are testers out there I might take take risk to ship them …It might be interesting for consumer that want to use them in combination with more recent chips present in latest Dell servers as I see.
Edit: Fixes are merged, bge and bce consumer are welcome to test and report back if anything was bricked up (hopefully not).

…which broke the builds on stable, spamming tinderbox messages to the mailing list...
pass. :-)

Jim, I understand it was fixed a couple of posts later.
-
I'm sure it was, just pointing out that particular commit did break things. Would need to include any follow ups, if we pull them in.
-
Hmm currently I'm deprived of any FBSD build VM but I have the patches on my radar.
I'm not sure if it was just a temporary problem but apparently no more additionaly changes have been made on e1000 drivers (until now).Maybe we could update the e1000 backport series and see if things break :-)
Shall I send a pull request? -
May as well, perhaps under a different filename or method so that we can easily swap back to the other version if needed without completely reverting the work.
