Was this the patch that we discussed on our call? Does this fix your TX checksum problems on IXL?

Yes and Yes.

Unfortunately, I've now proceeded to the "entire box hangs" portion of the game. Even serial console break-to-debugger is ignored. I'm going to try NMIs next..

FreeBSD/sys/net/iflib.c
2769 ↗	(On Diff #42946)	It looks like these macros are always tested with IS_TSO4()... a combined macro would be better. IS_TX_OFFLOAD4() or something checking CSUM_IP_TSO and CSUM_IP_TCP together.
2872 ↗	(On Diff #42946)	This can be moved inside the previous block so we're not relying on compiler magic to DTRT (same for below).
2924 ↗	(On Diff #42946)	This looks like an accident... this bit is already set or we wouldn't be here.

At least you see what I'm seeing now :)

iflib: Fixup changes made to record TCP checksum info in iflib for ixl

Harbormaster completed remote builds in B16830: Diff 42961.May 24 2018, 9:27 PM

Looks good, but not forcing CSUM_TCP_IPV6 for TSO6 may need a closer look.

sys/net/iflib.c
2915 ↗	(On Diff #42961)	Non-TCP TSO won't need the tcp header and sequence number information though. The IS_TSO4() block below fills in the generic information.
2976 ↗	(On Diff #42961)	Did you confirm that the CSUM_TCP_IPV6 csum flag is set on -current? Not forcing CSUM_TCP_IPV6 seems like a significant change here. I'll take a look at what "the rest of the flow requires it" means in this context.

sys/net/iflib.c
2915 ↗	(On Diff #42961)	I think my comment there was really asking if iflib is supposed to support non-TCP TSO. Does FreeBSD mean TSO to be "TCP segmentation offload" like in the ifconfig(8) man page, or "Transmit segmentation offload" like in the Intel datasheets?
2976 ↗	(On Diff #42961)	Err, looking at this again, I shouldn't have reverted it. I think yesterday I read the flag as being TSO instead of TCP and agreed that it was redundant.

The "entire box hangs" was due to a pre-release CPU/Mobo, and also hung with a chelsio nic. Sorry for the distraction.

sys/net/iflib.c
2915 ↗	(On Diff #42961)	FreeBSD does not support anything but TCP TSO. So checking for IPPROTO_TCP is redundant, and can be skipped.
2976 ↗	(On Diff #42961)	And setting it is safe, because you've already nuked the checksum that would have been there if it had not been set. Speaking of that.. It would be nice if FreeBSD handled TSO pseudo hdr checksums based on a length of 0 like windows, since that's what most ASICs want. At Myricom, we had a special mode in the NIC to handle linux/freebsd TSO where we subtracted out the len from the csum we were passed, but most NICs don't have that. I suppose a change like that might be too disruptive, but it would allow cleaning up a ton of places where drivers call in*_cksum_pseudo() to get the checksum in the form they want.

iflib: Remove comment and restore/fix setting CSUM_IP6_TCP flag during TSO6

sys/net/iflib.c
2915 ↗	(On Diff #42961)	I don't want to remove it in this patch because I think it's outside the scope I wanted for it. Maybe the entire function needs a revisit / documenting.
