Previously, another thread could get a pointer to the
interface by scanning the system-wide list and sleep
on the global vlan mutex held by vlan_unconfig().
The interface was gone by the time the other thread
woke up.
In order to be able to call vlan_unconfig() on a detached
interface, remove the purely cosmetic bzero'ing of IF_LLADDR
from the function because a detached interface has no addresses.

beginning and simply refuse to attach to a parent without either
flag.
Our network stack cannot handle well IFF_BROADCAST or IFF_MULTICAST
on an interface changing on the fly. E.g., IP will or won't assign
a broadcast address to an interface and join the all-hosts multicast
group on it depending on its IFF_BROADCAST and IFF_MULTICAST settings.
Should the flags alter later, IP will miss the change and keep using
bogus settings. This can lead to evil things like supplying an
invalid broadcast address or trying to leave a multicast group that
hasn't been joined. So just avoid touching the flags since an
interface was created. This has no practical purpose.

work by yar, thompsa and myself. The checksum offloading part also involves
work done by Mihail Balikov.
The most important changes:
o Instead of global linked list of all vlan softc use a per-trunk
hash. The size of hash is dynamically adjusted, depending on
number of entries. This changes struct ifnet, replacing counter
of vlans with a pointer to trunk structure. This change is an
improvement for setups with big number of VLANs, several interfaces
and several CPUs. It is a small regression for a setup with a single
VLAN interface.
An alternative to dynamic hash is a per-trunk static array with
4096 entries, which is a compile time option - VLAN_ARRAY. In my
experiments the array is not an improvement, probably because such
a big trunk structure doesn't fit into CPU cache.
o Introduce an UMA zone for VLAN tags. Since drivers depend on it,
the zone is declared in kern_mbuf.c, not in optional vlan(4) driver.
This change is a big improvement for any setup utilizing vlan(4).
o Use rwlock(9) instead of mutex(9) for locking. We are the first
ones to do this! :)
o Some drivers can do hardware VLAN tagging + hardware checksum
offloading. Add an infrastructure for this. Whenever vlan(4) is
attached to a parent or parent configuration is changed, the flags
on vlan(4) interface are updated.

struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address

The former ``automagic'' way of operation created more
trouble than good. First, VLAN_MTU consumers other than

no way to disable VLAN_MTU manually if it were causing
trouble, e.g., data corruption.
Dropping the ``automagic'' should be completely invisible

a) all the drivers supporting VLAN_MTU
have it enabled by default, and in the first place

I added VLAN_MTU controls to illustrate the principle.)

WRT manipulating capabilities of the parent interface:
- use ioctl(SIOCSIFCAP) to toggle VLAN_MTU (the way that was done
before was just wrong);
- use the right order of conditional clauses to set the MTU fudge
(that is logically independent from toggling VLAN_MTU.)
This change is possible since all the relevant drivers have been
fixed to set if_capenable properly. The field if_capabilities tracks
supported capabilities, which may be disabled administratively.
Inheriting checksum offload support from the parent interface isn't
that easy because the checksumming capabilities of the parent may be
toggled on the fly. Disable the code for now.
