utility to manipulate some of the card parameters.
This driver was written using information gleaned from the Lucent HCF Light
library, though it does not use any of the HCF Light code itself, mainly
because it's contaminated by the GPL (but also because it's pretty gross).
The HCF Light lacks certain featurs from the full (but proprietary) HCF
library, including 802.11 frame encapsulation support, however it has
just enough register information about the Hermes chip to allow someone
with enough spare time and energy to implement a proper driver. (I would
have prefered getting my hands on the Hermes manual, but that's proprietary
too. For those who are wondering, the Linux driver uses the proprietary
HCF library, but it's provided in object code form only.)
Note that I do not have access to a WavePOINT access point, so I have
only been able to test ad-hoc mode. The wicontrol utility can turn on
BSS mode, but I don't know for certain that the NIC will associate with
an access point correctly. Testers are encouraged to send their results
to me so that I can find out if I screwed up or not.
network adapters. These are all PCMCIA devices (the ISA version is a
PCMCIA to ISA bridge with a PCMCIA card plugged into it). Also add a
wicontrol utility to read and write some of the card's parameters.
Note: I do not have access to a WavePOINT access point, so I have only
been able to test this driver in ad-hoc (point to point) mode. The
wicontrol utility allows programming the desired service set name (SSID)
and enabling BSS mode, but I can't tell for sure if it works (I know the
card switches modes, but I can't verify that it joins a service set
correctly).
This driver was written using information gleaned from the Lucent HCF Light
library, which is an API library designed to simplify driver development
for devices based on the Lucent Hermes chip. Unfortunately, the HCF Light
is missing certain features (like 802.11 frame encapsulation!) which are
available only in the proprietary complete HCF code, which is not available
to the public. This driver uses none of the HCF Light code: it's very ugly
and contaminated by the GPL. IP and ARP packets are encapsulated as 802.11
frames, everything else is encapsulated as 802.3.
(It would be easier to just get the Hermes programming manual, but that's
not publically available either. For those who are wondering, the Linux
WaveLAN/IEEE driver uses the proprietary HCF code, which is provided in
object code form only. So much for supporting open source sofware.)
Multicast filter support is implemented, however it appears that the

within those routines (eg. ip_output() ).
On passing, add IPPROTO_PGM entry to netinet/in.h
abuses its argument, which is supposed to be an integer unit number, as
a pointer to the head of the 'struct slot' list. When this code was
hacked^Wupdated for newbus, a new mechanism for registering slot_irq_handler()
was put in place and the significance of the unit number was overlooked.
When registering an interrupt, we have both device_id and unit. The unit
number is passed as 'unit' but /sys/i386/usa/intr_machdep.c:register_intr()
drops unit on the floor and uses device_id instead. Since pccard_alloc_intr()
always sets device_id to 0, this means the unit number is always zero, and
slot_irq_handler() is always called with 0, which becomes a NULL pointer
which slot_irq_handler() tries to dereference and the kernel explodes.
Result: if you assign a PCMCIA driver in the kernel config file like this:
device wi0 at isa? port? irq?
Then the system will panic the moment a PCMCIA device is attached and
an interrupt is triggered.
The quick fix: make pccard_alloc_intr() pass the unit number as both
the device_id and unit arguments to register_pcic_intr(). The correct fix
would be to rewrite /sys/pccard to be less disgusting.

piecemeal, middle-of-file writes for NFS. These hacks have caused no
end of trouble, especially when combined with mmap(). I've removed
them. Instead, NFS will issue a read-before-write to fully
instantiate the struct buf containing the write. NFS does, however,
optimize piecemeal appends to files. For most common file operations,
you will not notice the difference. The sole remaining fragment in
the VFS/BIO system is b_dirtyoff/end, which NFS uses to avoid cache
coherency issues with read-merge-write style operations. NFS also
optimizes the write-covers-entire-buffer case by avoiding the
read-before-write. There is quite a bit of room for further
optimization in these areas.
The VM system marks pages fully-valid (AKA vm_page_t->valid =
VM_PAGE_BITS_ALL) in several places, most noteably in vm_fault. This
is not correct operation. The vm_pager_get_pages() code is now
responsible for marking VM pages all-valid. A number of VM helper
routines have been added to aid in zeroing-out the invalid portions of
a VM page prior to the page being marked all-valid. This operation is
necessary to properly support mmap(). The zeroing occurs most often
when dealing with file-EOF situations. Several bugs have been fixed
in the NFS subsystem, including bits handling file and directory EOF
situations and buf->b_flags consistancy issues relating to clearing
B_ERROR & B_INVAL, and handling B_DONE.
getblk() and allocbuf() have been rewritten. B_CACHE operation is now
formally defined in comments and more straightforward in
implementation. B_CACHE for VMIO buffers is based on the validity of
the backing store. B_CACHE for non-VMIO buffers is based simply on
whether the buffer is B_INVAL or not (B_CACHE set if B_INVAL clear,
and vise-versa). biodone() is now responsible for setting B_CACHE
when a successful read completes. B_CACHE is also set when a bdwrite()
is initiated and when a bwrite() is initiated. VFS VOP_BWRITE
routines (there are only two - nfs_bwrite() and bwrite()) are now
expected to set B_CACHE. This means that bowrite() and bawrite() also
set B_CACHE indirectly.
There are a number of places in the code which were previously using
buf->b_bufsize (which is DEV_BSIZE aligned) when they should have
been using buf->b_bcount. These have been fixed. getblk() now clears
B_DONE on return because the rest of the system is so bad about
dealing with B_DONE.
Major fixes to NFS/TCP have been made. A server-side bug could cause
requests to be lost by the server due to nfs_realign() overwriting
other rpc's in the same TCP mbuf chain. The server's kernel must be
recompiled to get the benefit of the fixes.

- Try to unbreak what I broke by screwing with the tx queuing again.
I'm waiting for a few more people to test out this code and report back
before I move it into current. Hopefully it will be soon. Basically I
reverted to the old TX queuing strategy.
- Add experimental support for the 3c900B-FL (10mbps ST fiber). The card
should be detected properly and the 10baseFL mode supported, but again
I'm still waiting for word from a tester to see if this actually works.
It shouldn't affect the other cards though; all the differences are in
media selection.
- Set the TX start threshold register to get better performance.
- Increase the size of the RX and TX rings. UDP performance was pretty
bad because the TX ring was too small. Should be substantially better
now (I can saturate the link with either TCP or UDP now).
- Change some of the #defines to reflect proper 3Com ASIC names (boomerang,
cyclone, krakatoa, hurricane).
- Simplify and reorganize interrupt handler; ack all interrupts right
away and then process them. This avoids a potential race condition.
(Noted by Matt Dillon.)
- Reorganize the bridging code to eliminate using a goto to jump into
the middle of an if() {} clause. Sorry, that just made my brain itch.
- Use m_adj() in xl_rxeof().
- Make the payload alignment in xl_newbuf() the default (instead of
just conditionally defined for the alpha) to improve NFS performance
(avoids need for nfs_realign()).
This patch also moves the bogus comment (the comment is still not quite
right) and (as a side effect) removes some verbose initialisations (we
depend on static initialisation to 0 for almost everything in proc0).
The alpha kernels are bootable again. The change won't affect i386's
until machdep.c is changed.

This is a seriously beefed up chroot kind of thing. The process
is jailed along the same lines as a chroot does it, but with
additional tough restrictions imposed on what the superuser can do.
For all I know, it is safe to hand over the root bit inside a
prison to the customer living in that prison, this is what
it was developed for in fact: "real virtual servers".
Each prison has an ip number associated with it, which all IP
communications will be coerced to use and each prison has its own
hostname.
Needless to say, you need more RAM this way, but the advantage is
that each customer can run their own particular version of apache
and not stomp on the toes of their neighbors.
It generally does what one would expect, but setting up a jail
still takes a little knowledge.
A few notes:
I have no scripts for setting up a jail, don't ask me for them.
The IP number should be an alias on one of the interfaces.
mount a /proc in each jail, it will make ps more useable.
/proc/<pid>/status tells the hostname of the prison for
jailed processes.
Quotas are only sensible if you have a mountpoint per prison.
