- Fix slowness when operating over fast connections, where the timeout(9)
granularity is on the same order of magnitude as the round trip time.
timeout(9) can happen up to 1 tick early, which was causing receive
ack timeouts to happen too early, causing bogus "lost" packets.
- Increase the local time counter to 64 bits to avoid roll-over.
- Keep statistics on memory allocation failures.
- Add a new option to always include the ack when sending data packets.
Might be useful in high packet loss situations. Might not.
Correct the BUILD_TCL macro. It was placing the target id
in the wrong bits. This was only an issue for adapters that
do not perform SCB paging (aha-3940AUW for instance).
Don't bother inlining ahc_index_busy_tcl. It is never
used in a performance critical path and is a bit chunky.
Correct ahc_index_busy_tcl to deal with "busy target tables"
embedded in the latter half of 64byte SCBs.
Don't initialize the busy target table to its empty state
until after we have finished extracting configuration
information from chip SRAM. In the common case of using
16 bytes of chip SRAM to do untagged target lookups,
we were trashing the last 8 targets configuration data.
(actually only target 8 because of the bug in the
BUILD_TCL macro).
Cram the "bus reset delivered" message back under bootverbose.
Fix the cleanup of the SCB busy target table when aborting
commands. If the lun is wildcarded, we must loop through
all possible luns.
aic7xxx.h:
Only bother supporting 64 luns right now. It doesn't seem
like either this driver or any peripherals will be doing
information unit transfers (where the lun number is a
32 bit integer) any time soon.
aic7xxx.seq:
Fix support for the aic7895. We must flush the data
FIFO if performing a manual transfer that is not
a multiple of 8 bytes. We were doing this quite
regularly for embedded cdbs.
Manaually flush the fifo on earlier adapters when
dealing with embedded cdbs too. We were stuffing
the FIFO with 16 bytes instead, but triggering
the flush is more efficient and allows us to
remove two instructions from the "copy_to_fifo"
routine.
pcic_attach() got a wrong pointer to pcic_slots since device haven't
set correct unit number yet, so always accessed elements of pcic_slots
which belong to pcic0 (unit number 0).
Now we set unit number to pcic device first, then access to pcic_slots
based on the unit number we've just set.

with the new snapshot code.
Update addaliasu to correctly implement the semantics of the old
checkalias function. When a device vnode first comes into existence,
check to see if an anonymous vnode for the same device was created
at boot time by bdevvp(). If so, adopt the bdevvp vnode rather than
creating a new vnode for the device. This corrects a problem which
caused the kernel to panic when taking a snapshot of the root
filesystem.
Change the calling convention of vn_write_suspend_wait() to be the
same as vn_start_write().
Split out softdep_flushworklist() from softdep_flushfiles() so that
it can be used to clear the work queue when suspending filesystem
operations.
Access to buffers becomes recursive so that snapshots can recursively
traverse their indirect blocks using ffs_copyonwrite() when checking
for the need for copy on write when flushing one of their own indirect
blocks. This eliminates a deadlock between the syncer daemon and a
process taking a snapshot.
Ensure that softdep_process_worklist() can never block because of a
snapshot being taken. This eliminates a problem with buffer starvation.
Cleanup change in ffs_sync() which did not synchronously wait when
MNT_WAIT was specified. The result was an unclean filesystem panic
when doing forcible unmount with heavy filesystem I/O in progress.
Return a zero'ed block when reading a block that was not in use at
the time that a snapshot was taken. Normally, these blocks should
never be read. However, the readahead code will occationally read
them which can cause unexpected behavior.
Clean up the debugging code that ensures that no blocks be written
on a filesystem while it is suspended. Snapshots must explicitly
label the blocks that they are writing during the suspension so that
they do not cause a `write on suspended filesystem' panic.
Reorganize ffs_copyonwrite() to eliminate a deadlock and also to
prevent a race condition that would permit the same block to be
copied twice. This change eliminates an unexpected soft updates
inconsistency in fsck caused by the double allocation.
Use bqrelse rather than brelse for buffers that will be needed
soon again by the snapshot code. This improves snapshot performance.
to construct a path that was long enough (ie longer than
SPARE_USRSPACE bytes) and trash the stack.
Note that SPARE_USRSPACE is much smaller than MAXPATHLEN so that

is smaller than MAXPATHLEN.

a loop down in pmap_init_pt(). A subtraction causes the number of
pages to become negative, that was assigned to an unsigned variable,
and there is a lot of iteration. The bug is due to the ELF image
activator not properly checking for its files being the correct size
as specified by the ELF header.
The solution is to check that the header doesn't ask for part of a
file when that part of the file doesn't exist. Make sure to set
VEXEC at the proper times to make the executables immutable (remove
race conditions). Also, the ELF format specifiies header entries
that allow embedding of other executables (hence how ld-elf.so.1
gets loaded, but not the same as loading shared libraries), so those
executables need to be set VEXEC, too, so they're immutable.

The tap driver is used to present a virtual Ethernet interface to the
system. Packets presented by the network stack to the interface are
made available to a character device in /dev. With tap and the bridge
code, you can make remote bridge configurations where both sides of
the bridge are separated by userland daemons.
This driver also has a special naming hack to allow it to serve a similar
purpose to the vmware port.

lock up under moderate to heavy load.
The status & command fields share a 32-bit longword. The programming
API of the eepro apparently requires that you update the command field
of a transmit slot that you've already given to the card. This means
the card could be updating the status field of the same longword at
the same time. Since alphas can only operate on 32-bit chunks of
memory, both the status & command fields are loaded from memory &
operated on in registers when the following line of C is executed:
sc->cbl_last->cb_command &= ~FXP_CB_COMMAND_S;
The race is caused by the card DMA'ing up the status at just the wrong
time -- after it has been loaded into a register & before it has been
written back. The old value of the status is written back, clobbering
the status the card just DMA'ed up. The fact that the card has sent
this frame is missed & the transmit engine appears to hang.
Luckily, as numerous people on the freebsd-alpha list pointed out, the
load-locked/store-conditional instructions used by the atomic
functions work with respect changes in memory due to I/O devices. We
now use them to safely update the command field.
