technically a no-op since uintmax_t is uint64_t on all currently
supported architectures, but we should use an explicit cast instead
of depending on this obscure coincidence.
- kernel module declarations and handler.
- macros to map malloc(3) calls to malloc(9) ones.
- malloc(9) declarations.
- call finishoff() from module handler MOD_UNLOAD case
instead of atexit(3).
- use panic(9) instead of abort(3)
- take time from time_second instead of gettimeofday(2)
- define INADDR_NONE
in as-yet uncommitted code for 32 bit binary compatability on 64 bit
kernels, some of the 32 bit registers come from the pcb. Moving the
initialization here means fill_regs32() etc are laid out the same.
Remove unused fields from ndis_miniport_block.
Fix a bug in KeFlushQueuedDpcs() (we weren't calculating the kq pointer
correctly).
In if_ndis.c, clear the IFF_RUNNING flag before calling ndis_halt_nic().
Add some guards in kern_ndis.c to avoid letting anyone invoke ndis_get_info()
or ndis_set_info() if the NIC isn't fully initialized. Apparently, mdnsd
will sometimes try to invoke the ndis_ioctl() routine at exactly the
wrong moment (to futz with its multicast filters) when the interface
comes up, and can trigger a crash unless we guard against it.
Oh, one additional change I forgot to mention in the last commit:
NdisOpenFile() was broken in the case for firmware files that were
pre-loaded as modules. When searching for the module in NdisOpenFile(),
we would match against a symbol name, which would contain the string
we were looking for, then save a pointer to the linker file handle.
Later, in NdisMapFile(), we would refer to the filename hung off
this handle when trying to find the starting address symbol. Only
problem is, this filename is different from the embedded symbol
name we're searching for, so the mapping would fail. I found this
problem while testing the AirGo driver, which requires a small
firmware file.
- Remove the old task threads from kern_ndis.c and reimplement them in
subr_ntoskrnl.c, in order to more properly emulate the Windows DPC
API. Each CPU gets its own DPC queue/thread, and each queue can
have low, medium and high importance DPCs. New APIs implemented:
KeSetTargetProcessorDpc(), KeSetImportanceDpc() and KeFlushQueuedDpcs().
(This is the biggest change.)
- Fix a bug in NdisMInitializeTimer(): the k_dpc pointer in the
nmt_timer embedded in the ndis_miniport_timer struct must be set
to point to the DPC, also embedded in the struct. Failing to do
this breaks dequeueing of DPCs submitted via timers, and in turn
breaks cancelling timers.
- Fix a bug in KeCancelTimer(): if the timer is interted in the timer
queue (i.e. the timeout callback is still pending), we have to both
untimeout() the timer _and_ call KeRemoveQueueDpc() to nuke the DPC
that might be pending. Failing to do this breaks cancellation of
periodic timers, which always appear to be inserted in the timer queue.
- Make use of the nmt_nexttimer field in ndis_miniport_timer: keep a
queue of pending timers and cancel them all in ndis_halt_nic(), prior
to calling MiniportHalt(). Also call KeFlushQueuedDpcs() to make sure
any DPCs queued by the timers have expired.
- Modify NdisMAllocateSharedMemory() and NdisMFreeSharedMemory() to keep
track of both the virtual and physical addresses of the shared memory
buffers that get handed out. The AirGo MIMO driver appears to have a bug
in it: for one of the segments is allocates, it returns the wrong
virtual address. This would confuse NdisMFreeSharedMemory() and cause
a crash. Why it doesn't crash Windows too I have no idea (from reading
the documentation for NdisMFreeSharedMemory(), it appears to be a violation
of the API).
- Implement strstr(), strchr() and MmIsAddressValid().
- Implement IoAllocateWorkItem(), IoFreeWorkItem(), IoQueueWorkItem() and
ExQueueWorkItem(). (This is the second biggest change.)
- Make NdisScheduleWorkItem() call ExQueueWorkItem(). (Note that the
ExQueueWorkItem() API is deprecated by Microsoft, but NDIS still uses
it, since NdisScheduleWorkItem() is incompatible with the IoXXXWorkItem()
API.)
- Change if_ndis.c to use the NdisScheduleWorkItem() interface for scheduling
tasks.
With all these changes and fixes, the AirGo MIMO driver for the Belkin
F5D8010 Pre-N card now works. Special thanks to Paul Robinson
(paul dawt robinson at pwermedia dawt net) for the loan of a card
for testing.

Note: This is really a bug with the stock tcsh configure.in script not
including <sys/types.h> before <utmp.h>. But, since config.h is maintained
separate from the contrib sources, this is the correct fix.
