tun(4) and tap(4) share the same general management interface and have a lot in common. Bugs exist in tap(4) that have been fixed in tun(4), and vice-versa. Let's reduce the maintenance requirements by merging them together and using flags to differentiate between the three interface types (tun, tap, vmnet). This fixes a couple of tap(4)/vmnet(4) issues right out of the gate: - tap devices may no longer be destroyed while they're open [0] - VIMAGE issues already addressed in tun by kp [0] emaste had removed an easy-panic-button in r240938 due to devdrn blocking. A naive glance over this leads me to believe that this isn't quite complete -- destroy_devl will only block while executing d_* functions, but doesn't block the device from being destroyed while a process has it open. The latter is the intent of the condvar in tun, so this is "fixed" (for certain definitions of the word -- it wasn't really broken in tap, it just wasn't quite ideal). ifconfig(8) also grew the ability to map an interface name to a kld, so that `ifconfig {tun,tap}0` can continue to autoload the correct module, and `ifconfig vmnet0 create` will now autoload the correct module. This is a low overhead addition. (MFC commentary) This may get MFC'd if many bugs in tun(4)/tap(4) are discovered after this, and how critical they are. Changes after this are likely easily MFC'd without taking this merge, but the merge will be easier. I have no plans to do this MFC as of now.

FreeBSD
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
