when it associates with a net. Because FreeBSD's kstack size is only
2 pages by default, this blows the stack and causes a double fault.
To deal with this, we now create all our kthreads with 8 stack pages.
Also, we now run all timer callouts in the ndis swi thread (since
they would otherwise run in the clock ithread, whose stack is too
small). It happens that the alloca() in this case was occuring within
the interrupt handler, which was already running in the ndis swi
thread, but I want to deal with the callouts too just to be extra
safe.
NOTE: this will only work if you update vm_machdep.c with the change
I just committed. If you don't include this fix, setting the number
of stack pages with kthread_create() has essentially no effect.
are actually layered on top of the KeTimer API in subr_ntoskrnl.c, just
as it is in Windows. This reduces code duplication and more closely
imitates the way things are done in Windows.
- Modify ndis_encode_parm() to deal with the case where we have
a registry key expressed as a hex value ("0x1") which is being
read via NdisReadConfiguration() as an int. Previously, we tried
to decode things like "0x1" with strtol() using a base of 10, which
would always yield 0. This is what was causing problems with the
Intel 2200BG Centrino 802.11g driver: the .inf file that comes
with it has a key called RadioEnable with a value of 0x1. We
incorrectly decoded this value to '0' when it was queried, hence
the driver thought we wanted the radio turned off.
- In if_ndis.c, most drivers don't accept NDIS_80211_AUTHMODE_AUTO,
but NDIS_80211_AUTHMODE_SHARED may not be right in some cases,
so for now always use NDIS_80211_AUTHMODE_OPEN.
NOTE: There is still one problem with the Intel 2200BG driver: it
happens that the kernel stack in Windows is larger than the kernel
stack in FreeBSD. The 2200BG driver sometimes eats up more than 2
pages of stack space, which can lead to a double fault panic.
For the moment, I got things to work by adding the following to
my kernel config file:
options KSTACK_PAGES=8
I'm pretty sure 8 is too big; I just picked this value out of a hat
as a test, and it happened to work, so I left it. 4 pages might be
enough. Unfortunately, I don't think you can dynamically give a
thread a larger stack, so I'm not sure how to handle this short of
putting a note in the man page about it and dealing with the flood
of mail from people who never read man pages.
options, status pointer and rusage pointer as arguments. It is up to
the caller to copyout the status and rusage to userland if needed. This
lets us axe the 'compat' argument and hide all that functionality in
owait(), by the way. This also cleans up some locking in kern_wait()
since it no longer has to drop locks around copyout() since all the
copyout()'s are deferred.
- Convert owait(), wait4(), and the various ABI compat wait() syscalls to
use kern_wait() rather than wait1() or wait4(). This removes a bit
more stackgap usage.

snprintf() and vsnprintf() in FreeBSD kernel land).
This is needed by the Intel Centrino 2200BG driver. Unfortunately, this
driver still doesn't work right with Project Evil even with this tweak,
but I'm unable to diagnose the problem since I don't have access to a
sample card.
for Windows are deserialized miniports. Such drivers maintain their own
queues and do their own locking. This particular driver is not deserialized
though, and we need special support to handle it correctly.
Typically, in the ndis_rxeof() handler, we pass all incoming packets
directly to (*ifp->if_input)(). This in turn may cause another thread
to run and preempt us, and the packet may actually be processed and
then released before we even exit the ndis_rxeof() routine. The
problem with this is that releasing a packet calls the ndis_return_packet()
function, which hands the packet and its buffers back to the driver.
Calling ndis_return_packet() before ndis_rxeof() returns will screw
up the driver's internal queues since, not being deserialized,
it does no locking.
To avoid this problem, if we detect a serialized driver (by checking
the attribute flags passed to NdisSetAttributesEx(), we use an alternate
ndis_rxeof() handler, ndis_rxeof_serial(), which puts the call to
(*ifp->if_input)() on the NDIS SWI work queue. This guarantees the
packet won't be processed until after ndis_rxeof_serial() returns.
Note that another approach is to always copy the packet data into
another mbuf and just let the driver retain ownership of the ndis_packet
structure (ndis_return_packet() never needs to be called in this
case). I'm not sure which method is faster.
that I added recently:
- When a periodic timer fires, it's automatically re-armed. We must
make sure to re-arm the timer _before_ invoking any caller-supplied
defered procedure call: the DPC may choose to call KeCancelTimer(),
and re-arming the timer after the DPC un-does the effect of the
cancel.
- Fix similar issue with periodic timers in subr_ndis.c.
- When calling KeSetTimer() or KeSetTimerEx(), if the timer is
already pending, untimeout() it first before timeout()ing
it again.
- The old Atheros driver for the 5211 seems to use KeSetTimerEx()
incorrectly, or at the very least in a very strange way that
doesn't quite follow the Microsoft documentation. In one case,
it calls KeSetTimerEx() with a duetime of 0 and a period of 5000.
The Microsoft documentation says that negative duetime values
are relative to the current time and positive values are absolute.
But it doesn't say what's supposed to happen with positive values
that less than the current time, i.e. absolute values that are
in the past.
Lacking any further information, I have decided that timers with
positive duetimes that are in the past should fire right away (or
in our case, after only 1 tick). This also takes care of the other
strange usage in the Atheros driver, where the duetime is
specified as 500000 and the period is 50. I think someone may
have meant to use -500000 and misinterpreted the documentation.
- Also modified KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects()
to make the same duetime adjustment, since they have the same rules
regarding timeout values.
- Cosmetic: change name of 'timeout' variable in KeWaitForSingleObject()
and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to 'duetime' to avoid senseless
(though harmless) overlap with timeout() function name.
With these fixes, I can get the 5211 card to associate properly with
my adhoc net using driver AR5211.SYS version 2.4.1.6.
if_ndis.c has been split into if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c.
The ndiscvt(8) utility should be able to parse device info for PCMCIA
devices now. The ndis_alloc_amem() has moved from kern_ndis.c to
if_ndis_pccard.c so that kern_ndis.c no longer depends on pccard.
NOTE: this stuff is not guaranteed to work 100% correctly yet. So
far I have been able to load/init my PCMCIA Cisco Aironet 340 card,
but it crashes in the interrupt handler. The existing support for
PCI/cardbus devices should still work as before.
along with KeInitializeTimerEx(), KeSetTimer(), KeSetTimerEx(),
KeCancelTimer(), KeReadStateTimer() and KeInitializeDpc(). I don't
know for certain that these will make the Atheros driver happy since
I don't have the card/driver combo needed to test it, but these are
fairly independent so they shouldn't break anything else.
- Debugger() is present even in kernels without options DDB, so no
conditional compilation is necessary (pointed out by bde).
- Remove the extra km_acquirecnt member that I added to struct kmutant
and embed it within an unused portion of the structure instead, so that
we don't make the structure larger than it's defined to be in Windows.
I don't know what crack I was smoking when I decided it was ok to do
this, but it's worn off now.
routines to guard against problems caused by (possibly) buggy drivers.
The RealTek 8180 wireless driver calls NdisFreeBuffer() to release
some of its buffers _after_ it's already called NdisFreeBufferPool()
to destroy the pool to which the buffers belong. In our implementation,
this error causes NdisFreeBuffer() to touch stale heap memory.
If you are running a release kernel, and hence have INVARIANTS et al
turned off, it turns out nothing happens. But if you're using a
development kernel config with INVARIANTS on, the malloc()/free()
sanity checks will scribble over the pool memory with 0xdeadc0de
once it's released so that any attempts to touch it will cause a
trap, and indeed this is what happens. It happens that I run 5.2-RELEASE
on my laptop, so when I tested the rtl8180.sys driver, it worked fine
for me, but people trying to run it with development systems checked
out or cvsupped from -current would get a page fault on driver load.
I can't find any reason why the NDISulator would cause the RealTek
driver to do the NdisFreeBufferPool() prematurely, and the same driver
obviously works with Windows -- or at least, it doesn't cause a crash:
the Microsoft documentation for NdisFreeBufferPool() says that failing
to return all buffers to the pool before calling NdisFreeBufferPool()
causes a memory leak.
I've written to my contacts at RealTek asking them to check if this
is indeed a bug in their driver. In the meantime, these new sanity checks
will catch this problem and issue a warning rather than causing a trap.
The trick is to keep a count of outstanding buffers for each buffer pool,
and if the driver tries to call NdisFreeBufferPool() while there are still
buffers outstanding, we mark the pool for deletion and then defer
destroying it until after the last buffer has been reclaimed.
is set, since some drivers with debug info can be very chatty.
Also implement DbgBreakPoint(), which is the Windows equivalent of
Debugger(). Unfortunately, this forces subr_ntoskrnl.c to include
opt_ddb.h.
Remove the unused second argument from udev2dev().
Convert all remaining users of makedev() to use udev2dev(). The
semantic difference is that udev2dev() will only locate a pre-existing
dev_t, it will not line makedev() create a new one.
Apart from the tiny well controlled windown in D_PSEUDO drivers,
there should no longer be any "anonymous" dev_t's in the system
now, only dev_t's created with make_dev() and make_dev_alias()
- When adding new waiting threads to the waitlist for an object,
use INSERT_LIST_TAIL() instead of INSERT_LIST_HEAD() so that new
waiters go at the end of the list instead of the beginning. When we
wake up a synchronization object, only the first waiter is awakened,
and this needs to be the first thread that actually waited on the object.
- Correct missing semicolon in INSERT_LIST_TAIL() macro.
- Implement lookaside lists correctly. Note that the Am1771 driver
uses lookaside lists to manage shared memory (i.e. DMAable) buffers
by specifying its own alloc and free routines. The Microsoft documentation
says you should avoid doing this, but apparently this did not deter
the developers at AMD from doing it anyway.
With these changes (which are the result of two straight days of almost
non-stop debugging), I think I finally have the object/thread handling
semantics implemented correctly. The Am1771 driver no longer crashes
unexpectedly during association or bringing the interface up.
The Am1771 driver will sometimes do the following:
- Some thread-> NdisScheduleWorkItem(some work)
- Worker thread -> do some work, KeWaitForSingleObject(some event)
- Some other thread -> NdisScheduleWorkItem(some other work)
When the second call to NdisScheduleWorkItem() occurs, the NDIS worker
thread (in our case ndis taskqueue) is suspended in KeWaitForSingleObject()
and waiting for an event to be signaled. This is different from when
the worker thread is idle and waiting on NdisScheduleWorkItem() to
send it more jobs. However, the ndis_sched() function in kern_ndis.c
always calls kthread_resume() when queueing a new job. Normally this
would be ok, but here this causes KeWaitForSingleObject() to return
prematurely, which is not what we want.
To fix this, the NDIS threads created by kern_ndis.c maintain a state
variable to indicate whether they are running (scanning the job list
and executing jobs) or sleeping (blocked on kthread_suspend() in
ndis_runq()), and ndis_sched() will only call kthread_resume() if
the thread is in the sleeping state.
Note that we can't just check to see if the thread is on the run queue:
in both cases, the thread is sleeping, but it's sleeping for different
reasons.
This stops the Am1771 driver from emitting various "NDIS ERROR" messages
and fixes some cases where it crashes.
routines to do anything except return error if the miniport adapter context
is not set (meaning we either having init'ed the driver yet, or the

Also, be sure to NULL out the adapter context along with the

method fails.

Don't cast a kernel pointer (from makedev(9)) to an integer (maj+minor combo).
802.11b chipset work. This chip is present on the SMC2602W version 3
NIC, which is what was used for testing. This driver creates kernel
threads (12 of them!) for various purposes, and required the following
routines:
PsCreateSystemThread()
PsTerminateSystemThread()
KeInitializeEvent()
KeSetEvent()
KeResetEvent()
KeInitializeMutex()
KeReleaseMutex()
KeWaitForSingleObject()
KeWaitForMultipleObjects()
IoGetDeviceProperty()
and several more. Also, this driver abuses the fact that NDIS events
and timers are actually Windows events and timers, and uses NDIS events
with KeWaitForSingleObject(). The NDIS event routines have been rewritten
to interface with the ntoskrnl module. Many routines with incorrect
prototypes have been cleaned up.
Also, this driver puts jobs on the NDIS taskqueue (via NdisScheduleWorkItem())
which block on events, and this interferes with the operation of
NdisMAllocateSharedMemoryAsync(), which was also being put on the
NDIS taskqueue. To avoid the deadlock, NdisMAllocateSharedMemoryAsync()
is now performed in the NDIS SWI thread instead.
There's still room for some cleanups here, and I really should implement
KeInitializeTimer() and friends.
- struct plimit includes a mutex to protect a reference count. The plimit
structure is treated similarly to struct ucred in that is is always copy
on write, so having a reference to a structure is sufficient to read from
it without needing a further lock.
- The proc lock protects the p_limit pointer and must be held while reading
limits from a process to keep the limit structure from changing out from
under you while reading from it.
- Various global limits that are ints are not protected by a lock since
int writes are atomic on all the archs we support and thus a lock
wouldn't buy us anything.
- All accesses to individual resource limits from a process are abstracted
behind a simple lim_rlimit(), lim_max(), and lim_cur() API that return
either an rlimit, or the current or max individual limit of the specified
resource from a process.
- dosetrlimit() was renamed to kern_setrlimit() to match existing style of
other similar syscall helper functions.
- The alpha OSF/1 compat layer no longer calls getrlimit() and setrlimit()
(it didn't used the stackgap when it should have) but uses lim_rlimit()
and kern_setrlimit() instead.
- The svr4 compat no longer uses the stackgap for resource limits calls,
but uses lim_rlimit() and kern_setrlimit() instead.
- The ibcs2 compat no longer uses the stackgap for resource limits. It
also no longer uses the stackgap for accessing sysctl's for the
ibcs2_sysconf() syscall but uses kernel_sysctl() instead. As a result,
ibcs2_sysconf() no longer needs Giant.
- The p_rlimit macro no longer exists.

Since we have a worker thread now, we can actually do the allocation
asynchronously in that thread's context. Also, we need to return a
status value: if we're unable to queue up the async allocation, we
return NDIS_STATUS_FAILURE, otherwise we return NDIS_STATUS_PENDING
to indicate the allocation has been queued and will occur later.
This replaces the kludge where we just invoked the callback routine
right away in the current context.
that Asus provides on its CDs has both a MiniportSend() routine
and a MiniportSendPackets() function. The Microsoft NDIS docs say
that if a driver has both, only the MiniportSendPackets() routine
will be used. Although I think I implemented the support correctly,
calling the MiniportSend() routine seems to result in no packets going
out on the air, even though no error status is returned. The
MiniportSendPackets() function does work though, so at least in
this case it doesn't matter.
In if_ndis.c:ndis_getstate_80211(), if ndis_get_assoc() returns
an error, don't bother trying to obtain any other state since the
calls may fail, or worse cause the underlying driver to crash.
(The above two changes make the Asus-supplied Centrino work.)
Also, when calling the OID_802_11_CONFIGURATION OID, remember
to initialize the structure lengths correctly.
In subr_ndis.c:ndis_open_file(), set the current working directory

and NdisCancelTimer(). NdisInitializeTimer() doesn't accept an NDIS
miniport context argument, so we have to derive it from the timer
function context (which is supposed to be the adapter private context).
NdisCancelTimer is now an alias for NdisMCancelTimer().
Also add stubs for NdisMRegisterDevice() and NdisMDeregisterDevice().
These are no-ops for now, but will likely get fleshed in once I start
working on the Am1771/Am1772 wireless driver.

problem with using taskqueue_swi is that some of the things we defer

thing to do to taskqueue_swi, since it is assumed the taskqueue threads

Cleaned up ndis_write_cfg() and ndis_decode_parm() a little.
According to the Windows DDK header files, KSPIN_LOCK is defined like this:
typedef ULONG_PTR KSPIN_LOCK;
From basetsd.h (SDK, Feb. 2003):
typedef [public] unsigned __int3264 ULONG_PTR, *PULONG_PTR;
typedef unsigned __int64 ULONG_PTR, *PULONG_PTR;
typedef _W64 unsigned long ULONG_PTR, *PULONG_PTR;
The keyword __int3264 specifies an integral type that has the following
properties:
+ It is 32-bit on 32-bit platforms
+ It is 64-bit on 64-bit platforms
+ It is 32-bit on the wire for backward compatibility.
It gets truncated on the sending side and extended appropriately
(signed or unsigned) on the receiving side.
Thus register_t seems the proper mapping onto FreeBSD for spin locks.
the definitions for NDIS_BUS_SPACE_IO and NDIS_BUS_SPACE_MEM logically
belong in hal_var.h. At least, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
Also, remove definition of __stdcall from if_ndis.c now that it's pulled
in from pe_var.h.

map ranges that are smaller than what our resource manager code knows
is available, rather than requiring that they match exactly. This
fixes a problem with the Intel PRO/1000 gigE driver: it wants to map
a range of 32 I/O ports, even though some chips appear set up to
decode a range of 64. With this fix, it loads and runs correctly.
unexpected interrupts. If an interrupt is triggered and we're not
finished initializing yet, bail. If we have finished initializing,
but IFF_UP isn't set yet, drain the interrupt with ndis_intr() or
ndis_disable_intr() as appropriate, then return _without_ scheduling
ndis_intrtask().
In kern_ndis.c:ndis_load_driver() only relocate/dynalink a given driver
image once. Trying to relocate an image that's already been relocated
will trash the image. We poison a part of the image header that we
don't otherwise need with a magic value to indicate it's already been
fixed up. This fixes the case where there are multiple units of the
same kind of device.
these add support for listing BSSIDs via wicontrol -l. I added code

Convert from using individual mutexes to a mutex pool, created in

which has two important flags in it: the 'allocated by NDIS' flag
and the 'media specific info present' flag. There are two Windows macros
for getting/setting media specific info fields within the ndis_packet
structure which can behave improperly if these flags are not initialized
correctly when a packet is allocated. It seems the correct thing
to do is always set the NDIS_PACKET_ALLOCATED_BY_NDIS flag on
all newly allocated packets.
This fixes the crashes with the Intel Centrino wireless driver.
My sample card now seems to work correctly.
Also, fix a potential LOR involving ndis_txeof() in if_ndis.c.
By default, we search for files in /compat/ndis. This can be changed with
a systcl. These routines are used by some drivers which need to download
firmware or microcode into their respective devices during initialization.
Also, remove extraneous newlines from the 'built-in' sysctl/registry
variables.

Using these tweaks, I can now get the Broadcom BCM5701 NDIS
driver to load and run. Unfortunately, the version I have seems
to suffer from the same bug as the SMC 83820 driver, which is
that it creates a spinlock during its DriverEntry() routine.
I'm still debating the right way to deal with this.
held. However, if we need to translate a unicode message table message,
ndis_unicode_to_ascii() might malloc() some memory, which causes
a warning from witness. Avoid this by using some stack space to hold
the translated message. (Also bounds check to make sure we don't
overrun the stack buffer.)
in subr_ndis and subr_ntoskrnl. This is faster and avoids potential
LOR whinage from witness (an LOR couldn't happen with the old code
since the interlocked inc/dec routines could not sleep with a lock

anyway. I think.)
so we increment the right thing. (All work and not enough parens

Also fix some mtx_lock_spin()s and mtx_unlock_spin()s that should
have been just plain mtx_lock()s and mtx_unlock()s.
In kern_ndis.c: remove duplicate code from ndis_send_packets() and

the RT_MESSAGETABLE resources that some driver binaries have.
This allows us to print error messages in ndis_syslog().
- Correct the implementation of InterlockedIncrement() and
InterlockedDecrement() -- they return uint32_t, not void.
- Correct the declarations of the 64-bit arithmetic shift
routines in subr_ntoskrnl.c (_allshr, allshl, etc...). These
do not follow the _stdcall convention: instead, they appear
to be __attribute__((regparm(3)).
- Change the implementation of KeInitializeSpinLock(). There is
no complementary KeFreeSpinLock() function, so creating a new
mutex on each call to KeInitializeSpinLock() leaks resources
when a driver is unloaded. For now, KeInitializeSpinLock()
returns a handle to the ntoskrnl interlock mutex.
- Use a driver's MiniportDisableInterrupt() and MiniportEnableInterrupt()
routines if they exist. I'm not sure if I'm doing this right
yet, but at the very least this shouldn't break any currently
working drivers, and it makes the Intel PRO/1000 driver work.
- In ndis_register_intr(), save some state that might be needed
later, and save a pointer to the driver's interrupt structure
in the ndis_miniport_block.
- Save a pointer to the driver image for use by ndis_syslog()
when it calls pe_get_message().
and MiniportHandleInterrupt() is fired off later via a task queue in
ndis_intrtask(). This more accurately follows the NDIS interrupt handling
model, where the ISR does a minimal amount of work in interrupt context
and the handler is defered and run at a lower priority.
Create a separate ndis_intrmtx mutex just for the guarding the ISR.
Modify NdisSynchronizeWithInterrupt() to aquire the ndis_intrmtx

Modify NdisMRegisterInterrupt() to save a pointer to the miniport

NdisSynchronizeWithInterrupt() can grab it later and derive

or halt func, the IFF_UP flag must be set in order for us to be able
to service it.
In kern_ndis.c: implement a handler for NdisMSendResourcesAvailable()

In subr_ndis.c:

which were both horribly broken.
- Implement NdisImmediateReadPciSlotInformation() and
NdisImmediateWritePciSlotInformation().
- Implement NdisBufferLength().
- Work around my first confirmed NDIS driver bug.
The SMC 9462 gigE driver (natsemi 83820-based copper)
incorrectly creates a spinlock in its DriverEntry()
routine and then destroys it in its MiniportHalt()
handler. This is wrong: spinlocks should be created
in MiniportInit(). In a Windows environment, this is
often not a problem because DriverEntry()/MiniportInit()
are called once when the system boots and MiniportHalt()
or the shutdown handler is called when the system halts.
With this stuff in place, this driver now seems to work:

ndis0: Ethernet address: 00:04:e2:0e:d3:f0
subr_ndis.c: implement NdisDprAllocatePacket() and NdisDprFreePacket()
(which are aliased to NdisAllocatePacket() and NdisFreePacket()), and
bump the value we return in ndis_mapreg_cnt() to something ridiculously
large, since some drivers apparently expect to be able to allocate
way more than just 64.
These changes allow the Level 1 1000baseSX driver to work for
the following card:

one kind of NDIS device in the kernel at the same time.
Convert from printf() to device_printf() in if_ndis.c, kern_ndis.c
and subr_ndis.c.
Create UMA zones for ndis_packet and ndis_buffer structs allocated
on transmit. The zones are created and destroyed in the modevent
handler in kern_ndis.c.

peter and jhb: use __volatile__ to prevent gcc from possibly reordering
code, use a null inline instruction instead of a no-op movl (I would
have done this myself if I knew it was allowed) and combine two register
assignments into a single asm statement.
- if_ndis.c: set the NDIS_STATUS_PENDING flag on all outgoing packets
in ndis_start(), make the resource allocation code a little smarter
about how it selects the altmem range, correct a lock order reversal
in ndis_tick().
ndis_var.h
- In kern_ndis.c:ndis_send_packets(), avoid dereferencing NULL pointers
created when the driver's send routine immediately calls the txeof
handler (which releases the packets for us anyway).
- In if_ndis.c:ndis_80211_setstate(), implement WEP support.
method with something a little more intelligent: use BUS_GET_RESOURCE_LIST()
to run through all resources allocated to us and map them as needed. This
way we know exactly what resources need to be mapped and what their RIDs
are without having to guess. This simplifies both ndis_attach() and
ndis_convert_res(), and eliminates the unfriendly "ndisX: couldn't map
<foo>" messages that are sometimes emitted during driver load.
nb_size field in an ndis_buffer is meant to represent, but it does not
represent the original allocation size, so the sanity check doesn't
make any sense now that we're using the Windows-mandated initialization
method.
Among other things, this makes the following card work with the
NDISulator:
ndis0: <NETGEAR PA301 Phoneline10X PCI Adapter> mem 0xda004000-0xda004fff irq 10 at device 9.0 on pci0
This is that notoriously undocumented 10Mbps HomePNA Broadcom chipset
that people wanted support for many moons ago. Sadly, the only other
HomePNA NIC I have handy is a 1Mbps device, so I can't actually do
any 10Mbps performance tests, but it talks to my 1Mbps ADMtek card
just fine.
For received packets, an status of NDIS_STATUS_RESOURCES means we need
to copy the packet data and return the ndis_packet to the driver immediatel.
NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS means we get to hold onto the packet, but we have
to set the status to NDIS_STATUS_PENDING so the driver knows we're
going to hang onto it for a while.
For transmit packets, NDIS_STATUS_PENDING means the driver will
asynchronously return the packet to us via the ndis_txeof() routine,
and NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS means the driver sent the frame, and NDIS
(i.e. the OS) retains ownership of the packet and can free it
right away.
evaluate them. Whatever they're meant to do, they're doing it wrong.
Also:
- Clean up last bits of NULL fallout in subr_pe
- Don't let ndis_ifmedia_sts() do anything if the IFF_UP flag isn't set
- Implement NdisSystemProcessorCount() and NdisQueryMapRegisterCount().
