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

- Move a sanity check against attempted double allocation of two pages
to the same vm object offset from vm_page_alloc() to vm_page_insert().
This provides better protection because double allocation could occur
through a direct call to vm_page_insert(), such as that by
vm_page_rename().
- Modify contigmalloc1() to hold the mutex synchronizing access to the
free pages queue while it scans vm_page_array in search of free pages.
- Correct a potential leak of pages by contigmalloc1() that I introduced
in revision 1.20: We must convert all cache queue pages to free pages
before we begin removing free pages from the free queue. Otherwise,
if we have to restart the scan because we are unable to acquire the
vm object lock that is necessary to convert a cache queue page to a
free page, we leak those free pages already removed from the free queue.

resource exhaustion attacks.
For network link optimization TCP can adjust its MSS and thus
packet size according to the observed path MTU. This is done
dynamically based on feedback from the remote host and network
components along the packet path. This information can be
abused to pretend an extremely low path MTU.
The resource exhaustion works in two ways:
o during tcp connection setup the advertized local MSS is
exchanged between the endpoints. The remote endpoint can
set this arbitrarily low (except for a minimum MTU of 64
octets enforced in the BSD code). When the local host is
sending data it is forced to send many small IP packets
instead of a large one.
For example instead of the normal TCP payload size of 1448
it forces TCP payload size of 12 (MTU 64) and thus we have
a 120 times increase in workload and packets. On fast links
this quickly saturates the local CPU and may also hit pps
processing limites of network components along the path.
This type of attack is particularly effective for servers
where the attacker can download large files (WWW and FTP).
We mitigate it by enforcing a minimum MTU settable by sysctl
net.inet.tcp.minmss defaulting to 256 octets.
o the local host is reveiving data on a TCP connection from
the remote host. The local host has no control over the
packet size the remote host is sending. The remote host
may chose to do what is described in the first attack and
send the data in packets with an TCP payload of at least
one byte. For each packet the tcp_input() function will
be entered, the packet is processed and a sowakeup() is
signalled to the connected process.
For example an attack with 2 Mbit/s gives 4716 packets per
second and the same amount of sowakeup()s to the process
(and context switches).
This type of attack is particularly effective for servers
where the attacker can upload large amounts of data.
Normally this is the case with WWW server where large POSTs
can be made.
We mitigate this by calculating the average MSS payload per
second. If it goes below 'net.inet.tcp.minmss' and the pps
rate is above 'net.inet.tcp.minmssoverload' defaulting to
1000 this particular TCP connection is resetted and dropped.

frame, not the first. It is probably also not safe to free the mbuf chain
as soon as the OWN bit is cleared on the first descriptor since the chip
may not be done copying the frame into the transmit FIFO. Revert the part of
of busdma conversion (if_dc.c rev 1.115) which changed dc_txeof() to look for
the status in the first descriptor and free the mbuf chain when processing
the first descriptor for the frame, and revert the matching changes elsewhere
in the driver. This part of the busdma change caused the driver to report
spurious collisions and output errors, even when running in full-duplex mode.
Reverting the mbuf chain handling slightly complicates dc_dma_map_txbuf(),
since it is responsible for setting the OWN bits on the descriptors, but does
not normally have direct access to the mbuf chain.
