when pmap_demote_pde() allocates a page table page to implement a
user-space demotion, it must increment the pmap's resident page count.
Not doing so, can lead to an underflow during address space termination
that causes pmap_remove() to exit prematurely, before it has destroyed
all of the mappings within the specified range. The ultimate effect or
symptom of this error is an assertion failure in vm_page_free_toq()
because the page being freed is still mapped.
This error is only possible when superpage promotion is enabled. Thus,
it only affects FreeBSD versions greater than 7.2.

it does use the privileged channel for the stopping facility.

kmem_alloc_contig() can now be used to allocate kernel memory with

incorporate each page's memory attributes in the mapping.
Notes: (1) Inherent to this design are safety features that prevent
the specification of inconsistent memory attributes by different
mappings on amd64 and i386. In addition, the device pager provides a
warning when a device driver creates a fictitious page with memory
attributes that are inconsistent with the real page that the
fictitious page is an alias for. (2) Storing the machine-dependent

which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation,
routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c
which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network.
HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but
others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented.
Authentication and encryption are not implemented.
There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be
used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you
how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create
wlandev ... wlanmode mesh).
A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled
by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98.
Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl.

bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported.

when the interrupt was moved from one CPU to another. If the interrupt was
enabled, then the old IDT vector needs to be disabled and the new IDT vector
needs to be enabled. This was mostly masked prior to the recent MSI changes
since in the older code almost all allocated IDT vectors were already enabled
and the enabled vectors on the BSP during boot covered enough of the IDT
range. However, after the MSI changes, MSI interrupts that were allocated
but not enabled (e.g. DRM with MSI) during boot could result in an allocated
IDT vector that wasn't enabled. The round-robin at the end of boot could
place another interrupt at the same IDT vector without enabling the IDT
vector causing trap 30 faults.
Fix this by explicitly disabling/enabling the old and new IDT vectors for
enabled interrupt sources when moving an interrupt between CPUs via the
pic_assign_cpu() method. While here, fix a bug in my earlier changes so
that an I/O APIC interrupt pin is left unchanged if ioapic_assign_cpu()
fails to allocate a new IDT vector and returns ENOSPC.

- For x86, change the interrupt source method to assign an interrupt source
to a specific CPU to return an error value instead of void, thus allowing
it to fail.
- If moving an interrupt to a CPU fails due to a lack of IDT vectors in the
destination CPU, fail the request with ENOSPC rather than panicing.
- For MSI interrupts on x86 (but not MSI-X), only allow cpuset to be used
on the first interrupt in a group. Moving the first interrupt in a group
moves the entire group.
- Use the icu_lock to protect intr_next_cpu() on x86 instead of the
intr_table_lock to fix a LOR introduced in the last set of MSI changes.
- Add a new privilege PRIV_SCHED_CPUSET_INTR for using cpuset with
interrupts. Previously, binding an interrupt to a CPU only performed a
privilege check if the interrupt had an interrupt thread. Interrupts
without a thread could be bound by non-root users as a result.
- If an interrupt event's assign_cpu method fails, then restore the original
cpuset mask for the associated interrupt thread.

This is mostly important for the multiple MSI message case where the
IDT vectors for the entire group need to be allocated together. This
also restores the assumptions made by the PCI bus code that it could
invoke PCIB_MAP_MSI() once MSI vectors were allocated.
- To avoid whiplash with CPU assignments, change the way that CPUs are
assigned to interrupt sources on activation. Instead of assigning the
CPU via pic_assign_cpu() before calling enable_intr(), allow the
different interrupt source drivers to ask the MD interrupt code which
CPU to use when they allocate an IDT vector. I/O APIC interrupt pins
do this in their pic_enable_intr() routines giving the same behavior as
before. MSI sources do it when the IDT vectors are allocated during
msi_alloc() and msix_alloc().
- Change the intr_table_lock from an sx lock to a mutex.

While general idea of patch was good, it was not working properly due the way
it was implemented. When we are using same timer interrupt for several of
hard/prof/stat purposes we should not send several IPIs same time to other
CPUs. Sending several IPIs same time leads to terrible accounting/profiling
results due to strong synchronization effect, when the second interrupt
handler accounts processing of the first one.
Interlink timer events in a such way, that no more then one IPI is sent for

memory with 4MB pages was added to pmap_object_init_pt(). This code
assumes that the pages of a OBJT_DEVICE object are always physically
contiguous. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. For example,
jhb@ informs me that the recently introduced /dev/ksyms driver creates
a OBJT_DEVICE object that violates this assumption. Thus, this
revision modifies pmap_object_init_pt() to abort the mapping if the
OBJT_DEVICE object's pages are not physically contiguous. This
revision also changes some inconsistent if not buggy behavior. For
example, the i386 version aborts if the first 4MB virtual page that
would be mapped is already valid. However, it incorrectly replaces
any subsequent 4MB virtual page mappings that it encounters,
potentially leaking a page table page. The amd64 version has a bug of
my own creation. It potentially busies the wrong page and always an
insufficent number of pages if it blocks allocating a page table page.
To my knowledge, there have been no reports of these bugs, hence,
their persistance. I suspect that the existing restrictions that
pmap_object_init_pt() placed on the OBJT_DEVICE objects that it would
choose to map, for example, that the first page must be aligned on a 2
or 4MB physical boundary and that the size of the mapping must be a
multiple of the large page size, were enough to avoid triggering the
bug for drivers like ksyms. However, one side effect of testing the
OBJT_DEVICE object's pages for physical contiguity is that a dubious
difference between pmap_object_init_pt() and the standard path for
mapping devices pages, i.e., vm_fault(), has been eliminated.
Previously, pmap_object_init_pt() would only instantiate the first
PG_FICTITOUS page being mapped because it never examined the rest.
Now, however, pmap_object_init_pt() uses the new function
vm_object_populate() to instantiate them all (in order to support
testing their physical contiguity). These pages need to be
instantiated for the mechanism that I have prototyped for
automatically maintaining the consistency of the PAT settings across
multiple mappings, particularly, amd64's direct mapping, to work.
