- rearrange the memory allocation code so it will be easier
to replace it with a different implementation. The current code
relies on a single large contiguous chunk of memory obtained through
contigmalloc.
The new implementation (not committed yet) uses multiple
smaller chunks which are easier to fit in a fragmented address
space.

every 30 seconds. This spike in I/O caused the system to pause every
30 seconds which was quite annoying. So, the way that sync worked
was changed so that when a vnode was first dirtied, it was put on
a 30-second cleaning queue (see the syncer_workitem_pending queues
in kern/vfs_subr.c). If the file has not been written or deleted
after 30 seconds, the syncer pushes it out. As the syncer runs once
per second, dirty files are trickled out slowly over the 30-second
period instead of all at once by a call to sync(2).
The one drawback to this is that it does not cover the filesystem
metadata. To handle the metadata, vfs_allocate_syncvnode() is called
to create a "filesystem syncer vnode" at mount time which cycles
around the cleaning queue being sync'ed every 30 seconds. In the
original design, the only things it would sync for UFS were the
filesystem metadata: inode blocks, cylinder group bitmaps, and the
superblock (e.g., by VOP_FSYNC'ing devvp, the device vnode from
which the filesystem is mounted).
Somewhere in its path to integration with FreeBSD the flushing of
the filesystem syncer vnode got changed to sync every vnode associated
with the filesystem. The result of this change is to return to the
old filesystem-wide flush every 30-seconds behavior and makes the
whole 30-second delay per vnode useless.
This change goes back to the originally intended trickle out sync
behavior. Key to ensuring that all the intended semantics are
preserved (e.g., that all inode updates get flushed within a bounded
period of time) is that all inode modifications get pushed to their
corresponding inode blocks so that the metadata flush by the
filesystem syncer vnode gets them to the disk in a timely way.
Thanks to Konstantin Belousov (kib@) for doing the audit and commit
-r231122 which ensures that all of these updates are being made.

a credential structure would corrupt it. This happened when the
p argument was != NULL. However, I now realize that the copying of
open credentials should only happen for p == NULL, since that indicates
that it is a read-ahead or write-behind. This patch fixes this.
After this commit, r228827 could be reverted, but I think the code is
clearer and safer with the patch, so I am going to leave it in.
Without this patch, it was possible that a NFSv4 VOP_SETATTR() could have
changed the credentials of the caller. This would have happened if
the process doing the VOP_SETATTR() did not have the file open, but
some other process running as a different uid had the file open for writing
at the same time.

of the inodeblock. Due to missed inodeblock updates, syncer was
required to fsync each mount point' vnode to guarantee periodic

radar parameters for the AR5416 and later NICs.
These parameters have been tested on the following NICs:
* AR5416
* AR9160
* AR9220
* AR9280
And yes, these will return radar pulse parameters and (for AR9160 and later)
radar FFT information as PHY errors.
This is again not enough to do radar detection, it's just here to faciliate
development and validation of radar detection algorithms.
The (pulse, not FFT) decoding code for AR5212, AR5416 and later NICs exist
in the HAL.
This code is disabled for now as generating radar PHY errors can quickly
cause issues in busy environment.s Some further debugging of the RX path
is needed.
Finally, these parameters are likely not useful for the AR5212 era NICs.
The madwifi-dfs branch should have suitable example parameters for the
11a era NICs.

used the -Y option, and even then you could not set the basename. It
also attempted to run /usr/ccs/lib/cpp for SVR4 compatibility, but this
is obsolete, and has been removed.
Note that setting RPCGEN_CPP to a command with arguments is supported,
though the command line parsing is simplistic. However, setting it to
e.g. "gcc46 -E" or "clang -E" will lead to problems, because both gcc
and clang in -E mode will consider files with unknown extensions (such
as .x) as object files, and attempt to link them.
This could be worked around by also adding "-x c", but it is much safer
to set RPCGEN_CPP to e.g. "cpp46" or "clang-cpp" instead.
