inbound data waiting on a filedescriptor, such as a pipe or a socket,
for instance by using select(2), poll(2), kqueue(2), ioctl(FIONREAD)
etc.
But we have no way of finding out if written data have yet to be
disposed of, for instance, transmitted (and ack'ed!) to some remote
host, or read by the applicantion at the far end of the pipe.
The closest we get, is calling shutdown(2) on a TCP socket in
non-blocking mode, but this has the undesirable sideeffect of
preventing future communication.
Add a complement to FIONREAD, called FIONWRITE, which returns the
number of bytes not yet properly disposed of. Implement it for
all sockets.
Background:
A HTTP server will want to time out connections, if no new request
arrives within a certain period after the last transmitted response
has actually been sent (and ack'ed).
For a busy HTTP server, this timeout can be subsecond duration.
In order to signal to a load-balancer that the connection is truly
dead, TCP_RST will be the preferred method, as this avoids the need
for a RTT delay for FIN handshaking, with a client which, surprisingly
often, no longer at the remote IP number.
If a slow, distant client is being served a response which is big
enough to fill the window, but small enough to fit in the socket
buffer, the write(2) call will return immediately.
If the session timeout is armed at that time, all bytes in the
response may not have been transmitted by the time it fires.
FIONWRITE allows the timeout to check that no data is outstanding
on the connection, before it TCP_RST's it.

FreeBSD docset during 'make release' this will speed up release
builds;
- sysinstall(8) has also been updated to use these packages with a new
menu allowing people to choose what localized doc to install;
- mention in UPDATING that docs from the FreeBSD Documentation project
are now installed in /usr/local/share/doc/freebsd instead of
/usr/share/doc.

in the case of a file system with a block size that is less than the page
size, cluster_rbuild() looks at too many of the page's valid bits.
Consequently, it may terminate prematurely, resulting in poor performance.

In MFC, we should leave the existing AUDIT_ARG() macros as they may be

Defer releasing the in6_ifaddr's in6_ifaddrhead reference until the
end of in6_unlink_ifa(), as callers are inconsistent regarding whether
or not they hold a reference across the call. This avoids using the
ifaddr after it may have been freed.

allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver
programming interface or binary interface.
For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they
don't actually access the multicast address list.

allow them to start after netif. There were too many problems reported
with this change in the short period of time that it lived in HEAD, and
we are too late in the release cycle to properly shake it out.
IMO the issue of having the firewalls up before the network is still a
valid concern, particularly for pf whose default state is wide open.
However properly solving this issue is going to take some investment
on the part of the people who actually use those tools.
This is not a strict reversion of all the changes for r193198 since it
also included some simplification of the BEFORE/REQUIRE logic which is
still valid for ipfilter and ip6fw.
if_addr_rlock() and if_addr_runlock() for regular address lists, and
if_maddr_rlock() and if_maddr_runlock() for multicast address lists.
We will use these in various kernel modules to avoid encoding specific
type and locking strategy information into modules that currently use
IF_ADDR_LOCK() and IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() directly.

vfs.ufs.dirhash_maxmem below the current amount of memory used by dirhash. When
ufsdirhash_build() is called with the memory in use greater than dirhash_maxmem,
it attempts to free up memory by calling ufsdirhash_recycle(). If successful in
freeing enough memory, ufsdirhash_recycle() leaves the dirhash list locked. But
at this point in ufsdirhash_build(), the list is not explicitly unlocked after
the call(s) to ufsdirhash_recycle(). When we next attempt to lock the dirhash
list, we will get a "panic: _mtx_lock_sleep: recursed on non-recursive mutex
dirhash list".
