improperly ignored the B_INVAL flag when acting on the B_ERROR.
If both B_INVAL and B_ERROR are set the buffer is typically out of the
underlying device's block range and must be destroyed. If only B_ERROR
is set (for a write), a write error occured and operation remains as it
was before: the buffer must be redirtied to avoid corrupting the
filesystem state.

manpage does not describe the builtin wait command provided by either
of the standard shells. There is already an entry for wait.1 in the
builtins.1 MLINKS list.
we're about to operate on, try to load one. Don't complain if the
load fails, and always press on regardless (there may not be a module
suitable or required).
With the renaming of the PCI ethernet driver modules and the addition
of appropriate miibus dependancies on those modules that need it, it is
now no longer necessary to compile many ethernet drivers into the kernel;
they will be loaded on demand the first time they are ifconfig'ed.

It is about 2.5 microseconds or roughly 3 times faster to use this
"PIIX" timecounter than the "i8254" timecounter. Resolution is
also 3 times better.
The code cheats and don't register the PCI device, because other pieces
of code want to use it too.

strategy used in the 3Com Linux driver. The new strategy is to use transmit
descriptor polling -- that is, the NIC polls the descriptors to see when
new packets are available for transmission. The advantage to the new scheme
is that no register accesses are needed in the transmit routine. The old
scheme requires several register accesses to stall the TX engine, update the
TX DMA list pointer register, then unstall the TX engine. Hopefully the new
scheme will provide improved transmit performance with less CPU overhead.
This only affects the 3c90xB or 3c90xC cards, not the 3c90x cards. This
means the original 3c900 and 3c905 cards are unaffected. Newer cards include
the 3c900B series, the 3c905B, 3c980, 3c980B, 3c905C and 3c905C, and the
3cSOHO100-TX OfficeConnect.
close PR #13757, however I'm waiting on user feedback before declaring the
PR officially closed. Among other things, this improves UDP transmit
performance, and tx underruns are now detected and the TX start threshold
adjusted accordingly.
far-reaching in fd-land, so you'll want to consult the code for
changes. The biggest change is that now, you don't use
fp->f_ops->fo_foo(fp, bar)
but instead
fo_foo(fp, bar),
which increments and decrements the fp refcount upon entry and exit.
Two new calls, fhold() and fdrop(), are provided. Each does what it
seems like it should, and if fdrop() brings the refcount to zero, the
fd is freed as well.
Thanks to peter ("to hell with it, it looks ok to me.") for his review.
Thanks to msmith for keeping me from putting locks everywhere :)
