the topology mutex in the following functions, that manipulate pointers
to peer nodes:
- ng_bypass()
- ng_path2noderef() when switching to the next node in sequence.
Rewrite the function a bit.
- ng_address_hook()
- ng_address_path()
This patch improves stability of large mpd5 installations.
VNET socket push back:
try to minimize the number of places where we have to switch vnets
and narrow down the time we stay switched. Add assertions to the
socket code to catch possibly unset vnets as seen in r204147.
While this reduces the number of vnet recursion in some places like
NFS, POSIX local sockets and some netgraph, .. recursions are
impossible to fix.
The current expectations are documented at the beginning of
uipc_socket.c along with the other information there.

to provide serialization of calls into the node, which is accomplished
by markng the node as single-threaded (NGF_FORCE_WRITER).
The price we pay is that each ng_pipe instance now has its own callout
handler which polls for queued frames on each clock tick, as long as
the pipe has any frames in its internal queues. OTOH, we got rid of
the global ng_pipe mutex, so from now on multiple ng_pipe instances
can operate in parallel. This change also fixes counting of forwarded
frames when an ng_pipe node is not enforcing any packet impairments.
While here, attempt to improve adherance to style(9) throughout
otherwise mostly unreadable code.

DPCPU_DEFINE and VNET_DEFINE macros, as these cause problems for various
people working on the affected files. A better long-term solution is
still being considered. This reversal may give some modules empty
set_pcpu or set_vnet sections, but these are harmless.

Instead of unconditionally emitting .globl's for the __start_set_xxx and
__stop_set_xxx symbols, only emit them when the set_vnet or set_pcpu
sections are actually defined.

Mark ng_eiface ifnets as IFCAP_VLAN_MTU capable, so that the associated
vlan(4) ifnets may use full-sized Ethernet MTUs (1500 bytes).

passing through. Modifications are restricted to a subset of C language
operations on unsigned integers of 8, 16, 32 or 64 bit size.
These are: set to new value (=), addition (+=), subtraction (-=),
multiplication (*=), division (/=), negation (= -), bitwise AND (&=),
bitwise OR (|=), bitwise eXclusive OR (^=), shift left (<<=),
shift right (>>=). Several operations are all applied to a packet
sequentially in order they were specified by user.

socket while it is still in use.
priv->ctlsock is checked at the top of the function but without any
lock held, which means the control socket state may certainly change.
Add a similar protection to ngs_shutdown() even if a race is unlikely
to be experienced there.

from 2000 bytes to 20 Kbytes, which now matches the buffer size used for
NGM_BINARY2ASCII conversions.
The aim of this change is to allow for bigger binary structures to be
managed via netgraph ASCII messages, until we come up with an API
improvement which would get rid of such arbitrary hardcoded limits.

queue length. The default value for this parameter is 50, which is
quite low for many of today's uses and the only way to modify this
parameter right now is to edit if_var.h file. Also add read-only
sysctl with the same name, so that it's possible to retrieve the
current value.
