- In the ISDOTDOT case we have to unlock the dvp before locking the child,
if this fails we must relock dvp before returning an error. This was
missing before.

- Network filesystems are written with a special idiom that checks the
cache first, and may even unlock dvp before discovering that a network
round-trip is required to resolve the name. I believe dvp is prevented
from being recycled even in the forced unmount case by the shared lock
on the mount point. If not, this code should grow checks for VI_DOOMED
after it relocks dvp or it will access NULL v_data fields.

calling VOP_LOOKUP(). Rather than having each filesystem check the
LOCKPARENT flag, we simply check it once here and unlock as required.
The only unusual case is ISDOTDOT, where we require an unlocked vnode
on return. Relocking this vnode with the child locked is allowed since
the child is actually its parent.
- Add a few asserts for some unusual conditions that I do not believe can
happen. These will later go away and turn into implementations for these
conditions.

case where filesystems legitimately need to unlock the directory vp is
in the DOTDOT case, which we can explicitly check for in lookup().
Furthermore, allowing filesystems to unlock dvp can lead to lock order
reversals in lookup() when we vrele the dvp while the child is still
locked.

Also, go ahead and fail if we can't load the firmware. It should have
failed like this, but never did (firmware loads generally don't fail).
some of which are rather serious:
- Use the device sysctl tree instead of rolling our own.
- Don't create a bus_dmamap_t to pass to bus_dmamem_alloc(), it is
bus_dmamem_alloc() that creates it itself. The DMA map created
by the driver was overwritten and its memory was leaked.
- Fix resource handling bugs in the error path of ixgb_dma_alloc().
- Don't use vtophys() to get the base address of the TX and RX rings
when busdma already gave us the correct address to use!
- Remove now useless includes and the alpha_XXX_dmamap() hack.
- Don't initialize if_output to ether_output(), ether_ifattach() does
it for us already.
- Add proper module dependencies on ether and pci.
Unfortunately, I'm not lucky enough to own an ixgb(4) card, nor a
machine with a bus where to plug it in and I couldn't find anyone able
to test these patches, so they are only build-tested and I won't MFC
them for 5.4-RELEASE.
This ensures that we explore EHCI busses before their companion
controllers' busses, so that ports connected to full/low speed
devices will be properly routed to the companion controllers by the
time the OHCI/UHCI exploration occurs.
5.0-RELEASE), a visually elusive bug was introduced. A comparison
operator was changed to assignment. As a result, rexecd behaved
always as if the `-i' option had been specified. It would allow root
logins. This commit corrects the situation in the obvious way.
A separate bug was introduced at the same time. The PAM library
functions are called between the invocation of getpwnam(3) and the use
of the returned static object. Since many PAM library functions
result in additional getpwnam(3) calls, the contents of the returned
static object could be changed from under rexecd. With this commit,
getpwnam_r(3) is used instead.
Other PAM-using applications should be reviewed for similar errors in
getpw* usage.
Security: rexecd's documented default policy of disallowing root
logins was not enforced.

work on SMP" saga. After several weeks and much gnashing of teeth,
I have finally tracked down all the problems, despite their best
efforts to confound and annoy me.
Problem nunmber one: the Atheros windows driver is _NOT_ a de-serialized
miniport! It used to be that NDIS drivers relied on the NDIS library
itself for all their locking and serialization needs. Transmit packet
queues were all handled internally by NDIS, and all calls to
MiniportXXX() routines were guaranteed to be appropriately serialized.
This proved to be a performance problem however, and Microsoft
introduced de-serialized miniports with the NDIS 5.x spec. Microsoft
still supports serialized miniports, but recommends that all new drivers
written for Windows XP and later be deserialized. Apparently Atheros
wasn't listening when they said this.
This means (among other things) that we have to serialize calls to
MiniportSendPackets(). We also have to serialize calls to MiniportTimer()
that are triggered via the NdisMInitializeTimer() routine. It finally
dawned on me why NdisMInitializeTimer() takes a special
NDIS_MINIPORT_TIMER structure and a pointer to the miniport block:
the timer callback must be serialized, and it's only by saving the
miniport block handle that we can get access to the serialization
lock during the timer callback.
Problem number two: haunted hardware. The thing that was _really_
driving me absolutely bonkers for the longest time is that, for some
reason I couldn't understand, my test machine would occasionally freeze
or more frustratingly, reset completely. That's reset and in *pow!*
back to the BIOS startup. No panic, no crashdump, just a reset. This
appeared to happen most often when MiniportReset() was called. (As
to why MiniportReset() was being called, see problem three below.)
I thought maybe I had created some sort of horrible deadlock
condition in the process of adding the serialization, but after three
weeks, at least 6 different locking implementations and heroic efforts
to debug the spinlock code, the machine still kept resetting. Finally,
I started single stepping through the MiniportReset() routine in
the driver using the kernel debugger, and this ultimately led me to
the source of the problem.
One of the last things the Atheros MiniportReset() routine does is
call NdisReadPciSlotInformation() several times to inspect a portion
of the device's PCI config space. It reads the same chunk of config
space repeatedly, in rapid succession. Presumeably, it's polling
the hardware for some sort of event. The reset occurs partway through
this process. I discovered that when I single-stepped through this
portion of the routine, the reset didn't occur. So I inserted a 1
microsecond delay into the read loop in NdisReadPciSlotInformation().
Suddenly, the reset was gone!!
I'm still very puzzled by the whole thing. What I suspect is happening
is that reading the PCI config space so quickly is causing a severe
PCI bus error. My test system is a Sun w2100z dual Opteron system,
and the NIC is a miniPCI card mounted in a miniPCI-to-PCI carrier card,
plugged into a 100Mhz PCI slot. It's possible that this combination of
hardware causes a bus protocol violation in this scenario which leads
to a fatal machine check. This is pure speculation though. Really all I
know for sure is that inserting the delay makes the problem go away.
(To quote Homer Simpson: "I don't know how it works, but fire makes
it good!")
Problem number three: NdisAllocatePacket() needs to make sure to
initialize the npp_validcounts field in the 'private' section of
the NDIS_PACKET structure. The reason if_ndis was calling the
MiniportReset() routine in the first place is that packet transmits
were sometimes hanging. When sending a packet, an NDIS driver will
call NdisQueryPacket() to learn how many physical buffers the packet
resides in. NdisQueryPacket() is actually a macro, which traverses
the NDIS_BUFFER list attached to the NDIS_PACKET and stashes some
of the results in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET. It also
sets the npp_validcounts field to TRUE To indicate that the results are
now valid. The problem is, now that if_ndis creates a pool of transmit
packets via NdisAllocatePacketPool(), it's important that each time
a new packet is allocated via NdisAllocatePacket() that validcounts
be initialized to FALSE. If it isn't, and a previously transmitted
NDIS_PACKET is pulled out of the pool, it may contain stale data
from a previous transmission which won't get updated by NdisQueryPacket().
This would cause the driver to miscompute the number of fragments
for a given packet, and botch the transmission.
Fixing these three problems seems to make the Atheros driver happy
on SMP, which hopefully means other serialized miniports will be
happy too.
And there was much rejoicing.
Other stuff fixed along the way:
- Modified ndis_thsuspend() to take a mutex as an argument. This
allows KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to
avoid any possible race conditions with other routines that
use the dispatcher lock.
- Fixed KeCancelTimer() so that it returns the correct value for
'pending' according to the Microsoft documentation
- Modfied NdisGetSystemUpTime() to use ticks and hz rather than
calling nanouptime(). Also added comment that this routine wraps
after 49.7 days.
- Added macros for KeAcquireSpinLock()/KeReleaseSpinLock() to hide
all the MSCALL() goop.
- For x86, KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() needs to be a separate
function. This is because it's supposed to be _stdcall on the x86
arch, whereas KeAcquireSpinLock() is supposed to be _fastcall.
On amd64, all routines use the same calling convention so we can
just map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() directly to KfAcquireSpinLock()
and it will work. (The _fastcall attribute is a no-op on amd64.)
- Implement and use IoInitializeDpcRequest() and IoRequestDpc() (they're
just macros) and use them for interrupt handling. This allows us to
move the ndis_intrtask() routine from if_ndis.c to kern_ndis.c.
- Fix the MmInitializeMdl() macro so that is uses sizeof(vm_offset_t)
when computing mdl_size instead of uint32_t, so that it matches the
MmSizeOfMdl() routine.
- Change a could of M_WAITOKs to M_NOWAITs in the unicode routines in
subr_ndis.c.
- Use the dispatcher lock a little more consistently in subr_ntoskrnl.c.
- Get rid of the "wait for link event" hack in ndis_init(). Now that
I fixed NdisReadPciSlotInformation(), it seems I don't need it anymore.
This should fix the witness panic a couple of people have reported.
- Use MSCALL1() when calling the MiniportHangCheck() function in
ndis_ticktask(). I accidentally missed this one when adding the
wrapping for amd64.
