incoming ARP packet and route request adding/removing
ARP entries. The root of the problem is that
struct llinfo_arp was accessed without any locks.
To close race we will use locking provided by
rtentry, that references this llinfo_arp:
- Make arplookup() return a locked rtentry.
- In arpresolve() hold the lock provided by
rt_check()/arplookup() until the end of function,
covering all accesses to the rtentry itself and
llinfo_arp it refers to.
- In in_arpinput() do not drop lock provided by
arplookup() during first part of the function.
- Simplify logic in the first part of in_arpinput(),
removing one level of indentation.
- In the second part of in_arpinput() hold rtentry
lock while copying address.
o Fix a condition when route entry is destroyed, while
another thread is contested on its lock:
- When storing a pointer to rtentry in llinfo_arp list,
always add a reference to this rtentry, to prevent
rtentry being destroyed via RTM_DELETE request.
- Remove this reference when removing entry from
llinfo_arp list.
o Further cleanup of arptimer():
- Inline arptfree() into arptimer().
- Use official queue(3) way to pass LIST.
- Hold rtentry lock while reading its structure.
- Do not check that sdl_family is AF_LINK, but
assert this.

due to the vm object being locked.
When a process writes large amounts of data to a file, the vm object associated
with that file can contain most of the physical pages on the machine. If the
process is preempted while holding the lock on the vm object, pagedaemon would
be able to move very few pages from PQ_INACTIVE to PQ_CACHE or from PQ_ACTIVE
to PQ_INACTIVE, resulting in unlimited cleaning of dirty pages belonging to
other vm objects.
Temporarily unlock the page queues lock while locking vm objects to avoid lock
order violation. Detect and handle relevant page queue changes.
This change depends on both the lock portion of struct vm_object and normal
struct vm_page being type stable.

PCB, or a newlly allocated set with default values. The inpcb is returned
locked. This function may sleep.
Call ip_moptions() to acquire a reference to a PCB's socket options, and
perform the update of the options while holding the PCB lock. Release the
lock before returning.
Remove garbage collection of multicast options when values return to the
default, as this complicates locking substantially. Most applications
allocate a socket either to be multicast, or not, and don't tend to keep
around sockets that have previously been used for multicast, then used for
unicast.
This closes a number of race conditions involving multiple threads or
processes modifying the IP multicast state of a socket simultaenously.

ifnet.if_drv_flags. Device drivers are now responsible for
synchronizing access to these flags, as they are in if_drv_flags. This

maintaining the interface flags field.

and move both flags from ifnet.if_flags to ifnet.if_drv_flags, making
and documenting the locking of these flags the responsibility of the
device driver, not the network stack. The flags for these two fields
will be mutually exclusive so that they can be exposed to user space as
though they were stored in the same variable.
Provide #defines to provide the old names #ifndef _KERNEL, so that user
applications (such as ifconfig) can use the old flag names. Using the
old names in a device driver will result in a compile error in order to
help device driver writers adopt the new model.
When exposing the interface flags to user space, via interface ioctls
or routing sockets, or the two fields together. Since the driver flags
cannot currently be set for user space, no new logic is currently
required to handle this case.
Add some assertions that general purpose network stack routines, such
as if_setflags(), are not improperly used on driver-owned flags.
With this change, a large number of very minor network stack races are
closed, subject to correct device driver locking. Most were likely
never triggered.
