mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:
mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)
similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:
mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.
The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.
Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:
MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH
The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:
mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.
Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.

forever when nothing is available for allocation, and may end up

possible for a panic to occur if BPF is in use on the interface at the
time of the call to if_detach. This happens because BPF maintains pointers
to the struct ifnet describing the interface, which is freed by if_detach.
To correct this problem, a new call, bpfdetach, is introduced. bpfdetach
locates BPF descriptor references to the interface, and NULLs them. Other
BPF code is modified so that discovery of a NULL interface results in
ENXIO (already implemented for some calls). Processes blocked on a BPF
call will also be woken up so that they can receive ENXIO.
Interface drivers that invoke bpfattach and if_detach must be modified to
also call bpfattach(ifp) before calling if_detach(ifp). This is relevant
for buses that support hot removal, such as pccard and usb. Patches to
all effected devices will not be committed, only to if_wi.c, due to
testing limitations. To reproduce the crash, load up tcpdump on you

Packets are received inside USB bulk transfer callbacks, which run at
splusb() (actually splbio()). The packet input queues are meant to be
manipulated at splimp(). However the locking apparently breaks down under
certain circumstances and the input queues can get trampled.
There's a similar problem with if_ppp, which is driven by hardware/tty
interrupts from the serial driver, but which must also manipulate the
packet input queues at splimp(). The fix there is to use a netisr, and
that's the fix I used here. (I can hear you groaning back there. Hush up.)
The usb_ethersubr module maintains a single queue of its own. When a
packet is received in the USB callback routine, it's placed on this
queue with usb_ether_input(). This routine also schedules a soft net
interrupt with schednetisr(). The ISR routine then runs later, at
splnet, outside of the USB callback/interrupt context, and passes the
packet to ether_input(), hopefully in a safe manner.
The reason this is implemented as a separate module is that there are
a limited number of NETISRs that we can use, and snarfing one up for
each driver that needs it is wasteful (there will be three once I get
the CATC driver done). It also reduces code duplication to a certain
small extent. Unfortunately, it also needs to be linked in with the
usb.ko module in order for the USB ethernet drivers to share it.

o be more careful about clearing addresses (this isn't a kludge)
o For AF_INET interfaces, call SIOCDIFFADDR to remove last(?) bit
of cruft.
Special cases for AF_INET shouldn't be here, but I didn't see a good
generic way of doing this. If I missed something, please let me know.
This gross hack makes pccard ejection stable for ethernet cards.

possible for ro->ro_rt to be non-NULL even though the RTF_UP flag
is cleared. (Example: a routing daemon or the "route" command
deletes a cloned route in active use by a TCP connection.) In that
case, the code was clobbering a reference to the routing table
entry without decrementing the entry's reference count.
The splnet() call probably isn't needed, but I haven't been able
to prove that yet. It isn't significant from a performance standpoint
since it is executed very rarely.

NGM_BINARY2ASCII, which convert control messages to ASCII and back.
This allows control messages to be sent and received in ASCII form
using ngctl(8), which makes ngctl a lot more useful.
This also allows all the type-specific debugging code in libnetgraph
to go away -- instead, we just ask the node itself to do the ASCII
translation for us.
Currently, all generic control messages are supported, as well as
messages associated with the following node types: async, cisco,
ksocket, and ppp.
See /usr/share/examples/netgraph/ngctl for an example of using this.
Also give ngctl(8) the ability to print out incoming data and
control messages at any time. Eventually nghook(8) may be subsumed.
Several other misc. bug fixes.

We now have an additional 14 subtypes available in ethernet.
Use one of them immediatly for homePNA.

is neither IFF_LOOPBACK or IFF_POINTOPOINT. It's quite common
(and probably more correct) to route local IP numbers via lo0
and it makes configuration easier to assign the hostname address
to local POINTOPOINT links too.
This message usually remains hidden because the loopback interface
gets the highest interface number at boot time, but when the
ethernet interface is added later, the message can get pretty
annoying.
Also, fix a typo.

With this patch, you can assigne IPv6 addr automatically, and can reply to
IPv6 ping.
