the only constraint that they have a lock cookie named rw_lock.
This name, then, becames reserved from the struct that wants to use
the rwlock(9) KPI and other locking primitives cannot reuse it for
their members.
Namely such structs are the current struct rwlock and the new struct
rwlock_padalign. The new structure will define an object which has the
same layout of a struct rwlock but will be allocated in areas aligned
to the cache line size and will be as big as a cache line.

was still possible to open for write from the lower filesystem. There
is a symmetric situation where the binary could already has file
descriptors opened for write, but it can be executed from the nullfs
overlay.
Handle the issue by passing one v_writecount reference to the lower
vnode if nullfs vnode has non-zero v_writecount. Note that only one
write reference can be donated, since nullfs only keeps one use
reference on the lower vnode. Always use the lower vnode v_writecount
for the checks.
Introduce the VOP_GET_WRITECOUNT to read v_writecount, which is
currently always bypassed to the lower vnode, and VOP_ADD_WRITECOUNT
to manipulate the v_writecount value, which manages a single bypass
reference to the lower vnode. Caling the VOPs instead of directly
accessing v_writecount provide the fix described in the previous
paragraph.

the call to pmap_remove_all() within vm_page_cache() is usually redundant.
This change eliminates that call to pmap_remove_all() and introduces a
call to pmap_remove_all() before vm_page_cache() in the one place where
it didn't already exist.
When iterating over a paging queue, if the object containing the current
page has a zero reference count, then the page can't have any managed
mappings. So, a call to pmap_remove_all() is pointless.

- Testing TSO6 has led me to discover that HW RSC is
a problematic feature, it is ONLY designed to work
with IPv4 in the first place, and if IP forwarding
is done it can't be disabled as LRO in the stack,
also initial testing we've done at Intel shows an
equal performance using TSO[46] on the TX and LRO
on RX, if you ran older code on 82599 or later hardware
you actually could have detrimental performance for
this reason. So I am disabling the feature by default
and all our adapters will now use LRO instead.
- If you have flow control off and multiple queues it
was possible when the buffer of one queue becomes
full that all RX movement is stalled, to eliminate
this problem a feature bit is now set that will allow
packets to be dropped when full rather than stall.
Note, the default is to have flow control on, and this
keeps this from happening.
- Because of the recent fixes in the stack, LRO is now
auto-disabled when problematic, so I have decided to
enable it by default in the capabilities in the driver.
- There are some 1G modules used by some customers, a couple
small tweaks to properly support those in the media code.
- A note: we have now done some testing of TSO6 and using
LRO with IPv6 and it all works great!! Seeing line rate

in some very degenerate conditions.
However, until ath_rate_form_aggr() is taught to not form aggregates
if ANY selected rate is non-MCS, this can't yet be enabled.
So, just add a comment.
I've tried serialising TX using queues and such but unfortunately
due to how this interacts with the locking going on elsewhere in the
networking stack, the TX task gets delayed, resulting in quite a
noticable throughput loss:
* baseline TCP for 2x2 11n HT40 is ~ 170mbit/sec;
* TCP for TX task in the ath taskq, with the RX also going on - 80mbit/sec;
* TCP for TX task in a separate, second taskq - 100mbit/sec.
So for now I'm going with the Linux wireless stack approach - lock tx
early. The linux code does in the wireless stack, before the 802.11
state stuff happens and before it's punted to the driver.
But TX locking needs to also occur at the driver layer as the TX
completion code _also_ begins to drain the ifnet TX queue.
Whilst I'm here, add some KTR traces for the TX path.
Note:
* This really should be done at the net80211 layer (as well, at least.)
But that'll have to wait for a little more thought to happen.
