Without versioning information, using preexisting loader /
linker code is not easily possible when another module may
have dependencies on pre-loaded modules, and also doesn't
allow the automatic loading of dependent modules.
No functional change of the actual modules.

r357614 added CTLFLAG_NEEDGIANT to make it easier to find nodes that are
still not MPSAFE (or already are but aren’t properly marked).
Use it in preparation for a general review of all nodes.
This is non-functional change that adds annotations to SYSCTL_NODE and
SYSCTL_PROC nodes using one of the soon-to-be-required flags.
Mark all obvious cases as MPSAFE. All entries that haven't been marked
as MPSAFE before are by default marked as NEEDGIANT

When ABE was added (rS331214) to NewReno and leak fixed (rS333699) , it now has
a destructor (newreno_cb_destroy) for per connection state. Other congestion
controls may allocate and free cc_data on entry and exit, but the field is
never explicitly NULLed if moving back to NewReno which only internally
allocates stateful data (no entry contstructor) resulting in a situation where
newreno_cb_destory might be called on a junk pointer.
- NULL out cc_data in the framework after calling {cc}_cb_destroy
- free(9) checks for NULL so there is no need to perform not NULL checks
before calling free.
- Improve a comment about NewReno in tcp_ccalgounload
This is the result of a debugging session from Jason Wolfe, Jason Eggleston,
and mmacy@ and very helpful insight from lstewart@.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
This was discussed between various transport@ members and it was
requested to be reverted and discussed.

loss event but not use or obay the recommendations i.e. values set by it in some
cases.
Here is an attempt to solve that confusion by following relevant RFCs/drafts.
Stack only sets congestion window/slow start threshold values when there is no
CC module availalbe to take that action. All CC modules are inspected and
updated when needed to take appropriate action on loss.
tcp_stacks/fastpath module has been updated to adapt these changes.
Note: Probably, the most significant change would be to not bring congestion
window down to 1MSS on a loss signaled by 3-duplicate acks and letting
respective CC decide that value.

algorithm based on the Internet-Draft "draft-leith-tcp-htcp-06.txt". It is
implemented as a kernel module compatible with the recently committed modular
congestion control framework.
H-TCP was designed to provide increased throughput in fast and long-distance
networks. It attempts to maintain fairness when competing with legacy NewReno
TCP in lower speed scenarios where NewReno is able to operate adequately. The
paper "H-TCP: A framework for congestion control in high-speed and long-distance
networks" provides additional detail.
