- Since the aio code likes to invoke fuword and suword a lot down in the
"bowels" of system calls, add a structure holding a set of operations for
things like storing errors, copying in the aiocb structure, storing
status, etc. The 32-bit system calls use a separate operations vector to
handle fuword32 vs fuword, etc. Also, the oldsigevent handling is now
done by having seperate operation vectors with different aiocb copyin
routines.
- Split out kern_foo() functions for the various AIO system calls so the
32-bit front ends can manage things like copying in and converting
timespec structures, etc.
- For both the native and 32-bit aio_suspend() and lio_listio() calls,
just use copyin() to read the array of aiocb pointers instead of using
a for loop that iterated over fuword/fuword32. The error handling in
the old case was incomplete (lio_listio() just ignored any aiocb's that
it got an EFAULT trying to read rather than reporting an error), and
possibly slower.

When VLAN tagged frame is received the hardware sets 'LONG' bit of
Rx status word. It is always set when the size of received frame
exceeded 1518 bytes, including CRC. This VLAN tagged frame clears
'OK' bit of Rx status word such that driver should not rely on 'OK'
bit of Rx status word to pass the VLAN tagged frame to upper stack.
To fix the bug, don't use SIS_CMDSTS_PKT_OK for Rx error check and
introduce SIS_RXSTAT_ERROR macro that checks Rx errors. If we are
configured to accept VLAN tagged frames and the received frame size
is less than or equal to maximum allowed length of VLAN tagged

to read-locking in the TCP input path, allowing greater TCP
input parallelism where multiple ithreads or ithread and netisr
are able to run in parallel. Previously, most TCP input paths
held a write lock on the global tcbinfo lock, effectively
serializing TCP input.
Before looking up the connection, acquire a write lock if a
potentially state-changing flag is set on the TCP segment header
(FIN, RST, SYN), and otherwise a read lock. We may later have
to upgrade to a write lock in certain cases (ACKs received by the
syncache or during TIMEWAIT) in order to support global state
transitions, but this is never required for steady-state packets.
Upgrading from a write lock to a read lock must be done as a
trylock operation to avoid deadlocks, and actually violates the
lock order as the tcbinfo lock preceeds the inpcb lock held at
the time of upgrade. If the trylock fails, we bump the refcount
on the inpcb, drop both locks, and re-acquire in-order. If
another thread has freed the connection while the locks are
dropped, we free the inpcb and repeat the lookup (this should
hardly ever or never happen in practice).
For now, maintain a number of new counters measuring how many
times various cases execute, and in particular whether various
optimistic assumptions about when read locks can be used, whether
upgrades are done using the fast path, and whether connections
close in practice in the above-described race, actually occur.

possible for TCP to call in_pcbref() and in_pcbrele() to prevent
an inpcb from being freed when both tcbinfo and per-inpcb locks

Notice that in_pcbrele() does not unlock the connection after

Unfortunately, sometimes the line was ignored -- actually even
modifying the line in /boot/default/loader.conf sometimes doesn't work.
ANALYSIS: After much investigation, turned out to be a bug in the logic.
The existing code detected a new assignment by looking at the address
of the the variable containing the string. This only worked by pure
chance, i.e. if the new string is longer than the previous value
then the memory allocator may return a different address
to store the string hence triggering the detection.
SOLUTION: This commit contains a minimal change to fix the problem,
without altering too much the existing structure of the code.
However, as a step towards improving the quality and reliability of
this code, I have introduced a handful of one-line functions
(strget, strset, strfree, string= ) that could be used in dozens
of places in the existing code.
HOWEVER:
There is a much bigger problem here. Even though I am no Forth
expert (as most fellow src committers) I can tell that much of the
forth code (in support.4th at least) is in severe need of a
review/refactoring:
+ pieces of code are replicated multiple times instead of writing
functions (see e.g. set_module_*);
+ a lot of stale code (e.g. "structure" definitions for
preloaded_files, kernel_module, pnp stuff) which is not used
or at least belongs elsewhere.
The code bload is extremely bad as the loader runs with very small
memory constraints, and we already hit the limit once (see
http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?view=revision&revision=185132
Reducing the footprint of the forth files is critical.
+ two different styles of coding, one using pure stack functions
(maybe beautiful but surely highly unreadable), one using
high level mechanisms to give names to arguments and local
variables (which leads to readable code).
Note that this code is used by default by all FreeBSD installations,
so the fragility and the code bloat are extremely damaging.
I will try to work fixing the three items above, but if others have
time, please have a look at these issues.

The end result is that once all the modules are loaded, they are sorted in

MOD_LOAD was invoked. This means that the ordering of MOD_LOAD events that

validation code on ZFS.
Problem: when opening file with O_CREAT|O_EXCL NFS has to jump through
extra hoops to ensure O_EXCL semantics. Namely, client supplies of 8
bytes (NFSX_V3CREATEVERF) bytes of verification data to uniquely
identify this create request. Server then creates a new file with access
mode 0, copies received 8 bytes into va_atime member of struct vattr and
attempt to set the atime on file using VOP_SETATTR. If that succeeds, it
fetches file attributes with VOP_GETATTR and verifies that atime
timestamps match. If timestamps do not match, NFS server concludes it
has probbaly lost the race to another process creating the file with the
same name and bails with EEXIST.
This scheme works OK when exported FS is FFS, but if underlying
filesystem is ZFS _and_ server is running 64bit kernel, it breaks down
due to sanity checking in zfs_setattr function, which refuses to accept
any timestamps which have tv_sec that cannot be represented as 32bit
int. Since struct timespec fields are 64 bit integers on 64bit platforms
and server just copies NFSX_V3CREATEVERF bytes info va_atime, all eight
bytes supplied by client end up in va_atime.tv_sec, forcing it out of
valid 32bit range.
The solution this change implements is simple: it treats
NFSX_V3CREATEVERF as two 32bit integers and unpacks them separately into
va_atime.tv_sec and va_atime.tv_nsec respectively, thus guaranteeing
that tv_sec remains in 32 bit range and ZFS remains happy.
