work by yar, thompsa and myself. The checksum offloading part also involves
work done by Mihail Balikov.
The most important changes:
o Instead of global linked list of all vlan softc use a per-trunk
hash. The size of hash is dynamically adjusted, depending on
number of entries. This changes struct ifnet, replacing counter
of vlans with a pointer to trunk structure. This change is an
improvement for setups with big number of VLANs, several interfaces
and several CPUs. It is a small regression for a setup with a single
VLAN interface.
An alternative to dynamic hash is a per-trunk static array with
4096 entries, which is a compile time option - VLAN_ARRAY. In my
experiments the array is not an improvement, probably because such
a big trunk structure doesn't fit into CPU cache.
o Introduce an UMA zone for VLAN tags. Since drivers depend on it,
the zone is declared in kern_mbuf.c, not in optional vlan(4) driver.
This change is a big improvement for any setup utilizing vlan(4).
o Use rwlock(9) instead of mutex(9) for locking. We are the first
ones to do this! :)
o Some drivers can do hardware VLAN tagging + hardware checksum
offloading. Add an infrastructure for this. Whenever vlan(4) is
attached to a parent or parent configuration is changed, the flags
on vlan(4) interface are updated.

Presently, ifconfig callbacks are used for L2 configuration, media
and vlan, so actions associated with address assignment, like sending
out a gratuitous ARP, should go when L2 is running already.
This also should fix the problem with setting up vlan interfaces
from rc.conf, when both IP and vlan+vlandev parameters are passed
to ifconfig at once.
Future work: Consider introducing several ifconfig callback lists
to invoke callbacks orderly.

this is more consistent with the placement of slaves in /dev/pts. The
actual name doesn't matter as it's not part of the exposed API or used by
libc. In some sense, it would be nice if these device nodes didn't have to
have names in devfs at all.

an empty addenda section.
Handle kernel configs that lack a "machine" line by guessing at the location
of GENERIC (assuming that it is in the same directory as the config file)
however IPv4-in-IPv4 tunnels are now stable on SMP. Details:
- Add per-softc mutex.
- Hold the mutex on output.
The main problem was the rtentry, placed in softc. It could be
freed by ip_output(). Meanwhile, another thread being in
in_gif_output() can read and write this rtentry.

o Change MEM_READ_1/MEM_READ_4 into macros (move them to if_iwireg.h)
o Add support for association LED
o Silently discard f/w notifications that are unknown (fixes spurious
"unknown notification 15" in logs with latest firmware)
o Fix scanning of 5GHz channels
of physical RAM instead of the bottom was a sound idea, but the implementation
left a lot to be desired. Scans would spend considerable time looking at
pages that are above of the address range given by the caller, and multiple
calls (like what happens in busdma) would spend more time on top of that
rescanning the same pages over and over.
Solve this, at least for now, with two simple optimizations. The first is
to not bother scanning high ordered pages that are outside of the provided
address range. Second is to cache the page index from the last successful
operation so that subsequent scans don't have to restart from the top. This
is conditional on the numpages argument being the same or greater between
calls.
