The first one never triggers because bpf_canfreebuf() can only be true for
zero-copy buffers and zero-copy buffers are not read with read(2).
The second also never triggers, because we check the free buffer before
calling ROTATE_BUFFERS(). If the hold buffer is in use the free buffer
will be NULL and there is nothing else to do besides drop the packet. If
the free buffer isn't NULL the hold buffer _is_ free and it is safe to
rotate the buffers.

the buffer is allocated we are committed to a particular buffer method
(BPF_BUFMODE_BUFFER in this case).
If we are using zero-copy buffers, the userland program must register its
buffers before set the interface.
If we are using kernel memory buffers, we can allocate the buffer at the
time that the interface is being set.
This fix allows the usage of BIOCSETBUFMODE after r235746.

vtnet interfaces are always in promiscuous mode (at least if the
VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_RX feature is not negotiated with the host). if_promisc() on
a vtnet interface returned ENOTSUP although it has IFF_PROMISC set. This
confused the bridge code. Instead we now accept all enable/disable promiscuous
commands (and always keep IFF_PROMISC set).
There are also two issues with the if_bridge error handling.
If if_promisc() fails it uses bridge_delete_member() to clean up. This tries to
disable promiscuous mode on the interface. That runs into an assert, because
promiscuous mode was never set in the first place. (That's the panic reported in
PR 200210.)
We can only unset promiscuous mode if the interface actually is promiscuous.
This goes against the reference counting done by if_promisc(), but only the
first/last if_promic() calls can actually fail, so this is safe.
A second issue is a double free of bif. It's already freed by
bridge_delete_member().

This change also modifies the kernel configuration options needed to enable

I edited the original change to retain the use of arc4random() as a seed for
the hashing as a very basic defense against intentional lagg port selection.
The author's original commit message (edited slightly):
sys/net/ieee8023ad_lacp.c
sys/net/if_lagg.c
In lagg_hashmbuf, use the FNV hash instead of the old
hash32_buf. The hash32 family of functions operate one octet
at a time, and when run on a string s of length n, their output
is equivalent to :
----- i=n-1
\
n \ (n-i-1) 32
( seed^ + / 33^ * s[i] ) % 2^
/
----- i=0
The problem is that the last five bytes of input don't get
multiplied by sufficiently many powers of 33 to rollover 2^32.
That means that changing the last few bytes (but obviously not
the very last) of input will always change the value of the
hash by a multiple of 33. In the case of lagg_hashmbuf() with
ipv4 input, the last four bytes are the TCP or UDP port
numbers. Since the output of lagg_hashmbuf is always taken
modulo the port count, and 3 is a common port count for a lagg,
that's bad. It means that the UDP or TCP source port will
never affect which lagg member is selected on a 3-port lagg.
At 10Gbps, I was not able to measure any difference in CPU
consumption between the old and new hash.

from the FreeBSD network code. The flag is still kept around in the
"sys/mbuf.h" header file, but does no longer have any users. Instead
the "m_pkthdr.rsstype" field in the mbuf structure is now used to
decide the meaning of the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. To modify the
"m_pkthdr.rsstype" field please use the existing "M_HASHTYPE_XXX"
macros as defined in the "sys/mbuf.h" header file.
This patch introduces new behaviour in the transmit direction.
Previously network drivers checked if "M_FLOWID" was set in "m_flags"
before using the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. This check has now now been
replaced by checking if "M_HASHTYPE_GET(m)" is different from
"M_HASHTYPE_NONE". In the future more hashtypes will be added, for
example hashtypes for hardware dedicated flows.
"M_HASHTYPE_OPAQUE" indicates that the "m_pkthdr.flowid" value is
valid and has no particular type. This change removes the need for an
"if" statement in TCP transmit code checking for the presence of a
valid flowid value. The "if" statement mentioned above is now a direct
variable assignment which is then later checked by the respective
network drivers like before.
Additional notes:
- The SCTP code changes will be committed as a separate patch.
- Removal of the "M_FLOWID" flag will also be done separately.
- The FreeBSD version has been bumped.
