Some classes of IOAT hardware prefetch reads. DMA operations that
depend on the result of prior DMA operations must use the DMA_FENCE flag
to prevent stale reads.
(E.g., I've hit this personally on Broadwell-EP. The Broadwell-DE has a
different IOAT unit that is documented to not pipeline DMA operations.)

The boot code fsread was caching the result of meta data request and
reusing it even for calls with inode = 0, which is used to partitions
trigger a probe.
The result was that success was incorrectly returned for all partition
probes after the first valid success, even for partitions which are not
UFS.

recommended workaround is to set the PDC count register for a 12-byte

When a ZFS drive disappears, ZFS sends a resource.fs.zfs.removed event to
userland. A userland program like zfsd(8) can use that event, for example to
activate a hotspare. The current code contains a race condition: vdev_geom
will sent the sysevent _before_ spa.c would update the vdev's status,
causing userland processes to see pool state that does not reflect the
device removal. This change moves the sysevent to spa.c, closing the race.

The set_robust_list system call request the kernel to record the head
of the list of robust futexes owned by the calling thread. The head
argument is the list head to record.
The get_robust_list system call should return the head of the robust
list of the thread whose thread id is specified in pid argument.
The list head should be stored in the location pointed to by head
argument.
In contrast, our implemenattion of get_robust_list system call copies
the known portion of memory pointed by recorded in set_robust_list
system call pointer to the head of the robust list to the location
pointed by head argument.
So, it is possible for a local attacker to read portions of kernel
memory, which may result in a privilege escalation.

The sctp6_ctlinput() function does not properly check the length of the packet
it receives from the ICMP6 input routine. This means that an attacker can craft
a packet that will cause a kernel panic.
When the kernel receives an ICMP6 error message with one of the types/codes
it handles, it calls icmp6_notify_error() to deliver it to the upper-level
protocol. icmp6_notify_error() cycles through the extension headers (if any)
to find the protocol number of the first non-extension header. It does NOT
verify the length of the non-extension header.
It passes information about the packet (including the actual packet) to the
upper-level protocol's pr_ctlinput function. In the case of SCTP for IPv6,
icmp6_notify_error() calls sctp6_ctlinput().
sctp6_ctlinput() assumes that the incoming packet contains a sufficiently-long
SCTP header and calls m_copydata() to extract a copy of that header. In turn,
m_copydata() assumes that the caller has already verified that the offset and
length parameters are correct. If they are incorrect, it will dereference a
NULL pointer and cause a kernel panic.
In short, no one is sufficiently verifying the input, and the result is a
kernel panic.

Fix efx_vpd_hunk_next() which has -- since its inception -- failed to
correctly iterate over the tags and keywords contained in the VPD data.
Only the first tag or keyword would be returned and the next call with
*contp == 1 would walk to the end of the data and finish.
This was spotted when fixing up errors spotted by Prefast code analysis
(which neglected to set all of the out parameters in all successful cases)
Also fix efx_vpd_verify() on Siena and EF10 which (as a side effect of
correctly iterating over all the tags and keywords) was failing as it
detected that both the static VPD and dynamic VPD storage contained an
RV keyword in the VPD-R tag. This is intentional as the static VPD and
dynamic VPD are stored separately (firmware merges their contents and
computes a new RV keyword checksum for the data readable from the VPD
capability in PCIe configuration space).
