beginning and simply refuse to attach to a parent without either
flag.
Our network stack cannot handle well IFF_BROADCAST or IFF_MULTICAST
on an interface changing on the fly. E.g., IP will or won't assign
a broadcast address to an interface and join the all-hosts multicast
group on it depending on its IFF_BROADCAST and IFF_MULTICAST settings.
Should the flags alter later, IP will miss the change and keep using
bogus settings. This can lead to evil things like supplying an
invalid broadcast address or trying to leave a multicast group that
hasn't been joined. So just avoid touching the flags since an
interface was created. This has no practical purpose.

from NetBSD. This driver actually can replace lnc(4). Advantages over
lnc(4) are:
- Cleaner and more flexible regarding MD needs.
- Endian-clean and MPSAFE.
- Supports ALTQ, VLAN_MTU, ifmedia.
- Uses 32bit DMA for the PCI variants.
This commit includes front-ends for the dma(4) pseudo-bus found on SBus-
based sparc64 machines (thus supports the on-board LANCE in Sun Ultra 1)
and PCI. In order to actually replace lnc(4), the front-ends for ISA and
the PC98 CBUS would have to be added but for which I don't have hardware
to test.

- Like lsi64854_scsi_intr() return -1 in case there was a DMA error so
the caller can distinguish it from a normal interrupt and leave the
reset of the DMA engine to the caller so we don't kill any state there.
- Move the static 'dodrain' flag to struct lsi64854_softc as there can
be more than one LSI64854 used for a LANCE in a system and reset it
again once draining the E-cache is done so we don't keep draining the
cache with every interrupt.
- Remove calling sc->sc_intrchain(), we will call lsi64854_enet_intr()
via sc->intr() in the interrupt handler of the LANCE driver and not
use it in chained mode.
o lsi64854_pp_intr():
- Like lsi64854_scsi_intr() return -1 in case there was a DMA error so
the caller can distinguish it from a normal interrupt.
o Remove the no longer used sc_intrchain* from struct lsi64854_softc.
o Make lsi64854_reset(), lsi64854_setup*() and lsi64854_*_intr() static
to lsi64854.c as we do and will only call them via the respective
function pointers in struct lsi64854_softc.
o While here fix style(9) bugs (variable definition inside a nested scope).
It detects both: buffer underflows and buffer overflows bugs at runtime
(on free(9) and realloc(9)) and prints backtraces from where memory was
allocated and from where it was freed.

interrupt handler for the LANCE devices and remove dma_setup_intr(). We
just can't completely ignore the DMA engine in a LANCE driver anyway and
calling the DMA engine interrupt handler in the LANCE driver directly
allows to cover it by the LANCE driver lock.
work by yar, thompsa and myself. The checksum offloading part also involves
work done by Mihail Balikov.
The most important changes:
o Instead of global linked list of all vlan softc use a per-trunk
hash. The size of hash is dynamically adjusted, depending on
number of entries. This changes struct ifnet, replacing counter
of vlans with a pointer to trunk structure. This change is an
improvement for setups with big number of VLANs, several interfaces
and several CPUs. It is a small regression for a setup with a single
VLAN interface.
An alternative to dynamic hash is a per-trunk static array with
4096 entries, which is a compile time option - VLAN_ARRAY. In my
experiments the array is not an improvement, probably because such
a big trunk structure doesn't fit into CPU cache.
o Introduce an UMA zone for VLAN tags. Since drivers depend on it,
the zone is declared in kern_mbuf.c, not in optional vlan(4) driver.
This change is a big improvement for any setup utilizing vlan(4).
o Use rwlock(9) instead of mutex(9) for locking. We are the first
ones to do this! :)
o Some drivers can do hardware VLAN tagging + hardware checksum
offloading. Add an infrastructure for this. Whenever vlan(4) is
attached to a parent or parent configuration is changed, the flags
on vlan(4) interface are updated.

this is more consistent with the placement of slaves in /dev/pts. The
actual name doesn't matter as it's not part of the exposed API or used by
libc. In some sense, it would be nice if these device nodes didn't have to
have names in devfs at all.

however IPv4-in-IPv4 tunnels are now stable on SMP. Details:
- Add per-softc mutex.
- Hold the mutex on output.
The main problem was the rtentry, placed in softc. It could be
freed by ip_output(). Meanwhile, another thread being in
in_gif_output() can read and write this rtentry.

of physical RAM instead of the bottom was a sound idea, but the implementation
left a lot to be desired. Scans would spend considerable time looking at
pages that are above of the address range given by the caller, and multiple
calls (like what happens in busdma) would spend more time on top of that
rescanning the same pages over and over.
Solve this, at least for now, with two simple optimizations. The first is
to not bother scanning high ordered pages that are outside of the provided
address range. Second is to cache the page index from the last successful
operation so that subsequent scans don't have to restart from the top. This
is conditional on the numpages argument being the same or greater between
calls.

Notably, if MAC is compiled into the kernel, it will properly initialize the

This work is in preparation for a new MAC entry point which will be responsible

Utilization of the crfree/crget APIs reduce the complexity associated with

Additionally, to reduce complexity, the ucred persist as long as the NFS

implementation is by no means perfect as far as some of the algorithms
that it uses and the fact that it is missing some functionality (try
locks and upgrades/downgrades are not there yet), however it does seem
to work in my local testing. There is more detail in the comments in the
code, but the short version follows.
A reader/writer lock is very much like a regular mutex: it cannot be held
across a voluntary sleep; it can be acquired in an interrupt thread; if
the lock is held by a writer then the priority of any threads that block
on the lock will be lent to the owner; the simple case lock operations all
are done in a single atomic op. It also shares some similiarities
with sx locks: it supports reader/writer semantics (multiple readers,
but single writers); readers are allowed to recurse, but writers are not.
We can extend this implementation further by either improving algorithms
or adding new functionality, but this should at least give us a base to
work with now.
