- Close a migration race where callout_reset() failed to set the
CALLOUT_ACTIVE flag.
- Callout callback functions are now allowed to be protected by
spinlocks.
- Switching the callout CPU number cannot always be done on a
per-callout basis. See the updated timeout(9) manual page for more
information.
- The timeout(9) manual page has been updated to reflect how all the
functions inside the callout API are working. The manual page has
been made function oriented to make it easier to deduce how each of
the functions making up the callout API are working without having
to first read the whole manual page. Group all functions into a
handful of sections which should give a quick top-level overview
when the different functions should be used.
- The CALLOUT_SHAREDLOCK flag and its functionality has been removed
to reduce the complexity in the callout code and to avoid problems
about atomically stopping callouts via callout_stop(). If someone
needs it, it can be re-added. From my quick grep there are no
CALLOUT_SHAREDLOCK clients in the kernel.
- A new callout API function named "callout_drain_async()" has been
added. See the updated timeout(9) manual page for a complete
description.
- Update the callout clients in the "kern/" folder to use the callout
API properly, like cv_timedwait(). Previously there was some custom
sleepqueue code in the callout subsystem, which has been removed,
because we now allow callouts to be protected by spinlocks. This
allows us to tear down the callout like done with regular mutexes,
and a "td_slpmutex" has been added to "struct thread" to atomically
teardown the "td_slpcallout". Further the "TDF_TIMOFAIL" and
"SWT_SLEEPQTIMO" states can now be completely removed. Currently
they are marked as available and will be cleaned up in a follow up
commit.
- Bump the __FreeBSD_version to indicate kernel modules need
recompilation.
- There has been several reports that this patch "seems to squash a
serious bug leading to a callout timeout and panic".

more generally make it easier to extend 'struct mbuf in the future', make
a number of changes to the data structure:
- As we anticipate embedding mbufs headers within variable-size regions of
memory in the future, change the definitions of byte arrays embedded in
mbufs to be of size [0] rather than [MLEN] and [MHLEN]. In fact, the
cxgbe driver already uses 'struct mbuf' on the front of other storage
sizes, but we would like the global mbuf allocator do be able to do this
as well.
- Fold 'struct m_hdr' into 'struct mbuf' itself, eliminating a set of
macros that aliased 'mh_foo' field names to 'm_foo' names such as
'm_next'. These present a particular problem as we would like to add
new mbuf-header fields -- e.g., 'm_size' -- that, if similarly named via
macros, would introduce collisions with many other variable names in the
kernel.
- Rename 'struct m_ext' to 'struct struct_m_ext' so that we can add
compile-time assertions without bumping into the still-extant 'm_ext'
macro.
- Remove the MSIZE compile-time assertion for 'struct mbuf', but add new
assertions for alignment of embedded data arrays (64-bit alignment even
on 32-bit platforms), and for the sizes the mbuf header, packet header,
and m_ext structure.
- Document that these assertions exist in comments in mbuf.h.
This change is not intended to cause (non-trivial) behavioural
differences, but is a precursor to further mbuf-allocator work.

the knowledge of mbuf layout, and in particular constants such as M_EXT,
MLEN, MHLEN, and so on, in mbuf consumers by unifying various alignment
utility functions (M_ALIGN(), MH_ALIGN(), MEXT_ALIGN() in a single
M_ALIGN() macro, implemented by a now-inlined m_align() function:
- Move m_align() from uipc_mbuf.c to mbuf.h; mark as __inline.
- Reimplement M_ALIGN(), MH_ALIGN(), and MEXT_ALIGN() using m_align().
- Update consumers around the tree to simply use M_ALIGN().
This change eliminates a number of cases where mbuf consumers must be aware
of whether or not mbufs returned by the allocator use external storage, but
also assumptions about the size of the returned mbuf. This will make it
easier to introduce changes in how we use external storage, as well as
features such as variable-size mbufs.

Modify taskqueue_drain_all() processing to use a temporary
"barrier task", rather than rely on a user task that may

barrier task is queued behind all previously queued tasks
and then has its priority elevated so that future tasks
