CPUs. These CPUs need explicit MSR configuration to expose ceratin CPU
capabilities (e.g., CMPXCHG8B) to work around compatibility issues with
ancient software. Unfortunately, Rise mP6 does not set the CX8 bit in CPUID
and there is no MSR to expose the feature although all mP6 processors are
capable of CMPXCHG8B according to datasheets I found from the Net. Clean up
and simplify VIA PadLock detection while I am in the neighborhood.
root directory of msdosfs mount. The VFS code would handle deletion
case itself too, assuming VV_ROOT flag is not lost. The msdosfs_rename()
should also note attempt to rename root via doscheckpath() or different
mount point check leading to EXDEV. Nonetheless, keep the checks for now.
The change is inspired by NetBSD change referenced in PR, but return

Changes since 7.8.0 (from the official changelog):
- Fixed sporadic interrupt generation for associated CQ when processing
a local invalidate work request
- Changes to core scheduling to avoid starving requests from the host
under heavy RDMA Read Request load (e.g. packets to the wire)
- Programmed the tp tx resource limiter in function of the traffic (only
affects iWarp)
- Increased the egress NIC gather list length from 36 to 46 entries

Before it could change later and we were sending invalid mapsize.
Some time ago I added optimization where when nodes are connected for the
first time and there were no writes to them yet, there is no initial full
synchronization. This bug prevented it from working.

The second close(2) call resulted in heisenbugs in some multi-threaded
applications where e.g. dlopen(3) call in one thread could close a file
descriptor for a file having been opened in other thread concurrently.
My litmus test for this issue was an openoffice.org build.

If supplied length is zero, and user address is invalid, function
might return -1, due to the truncation and rounding of the address.
The callers interpret the situation as EFAULT. Instead of handling
the zero length in caller, filter it in vm_fault_quick_hold_pages().

Code inspection shows freebsd32_ioctl calls fget for a fd and calls
a subroutine to handle each specific ioctl. It is expected that the
subroutine will call fdrop when done. However many of the subroutines
will exit out early if copyin encounters an error resulting in fdrop
never being called.

the channel width is ni->ni_chw, which is set to the negotiated channel

Teach both the TX path and the sample rate module about this.
This seems to work fine for STA but not HT/20 AP mode.
Further discussion with net80211 people will need to take place
to ensure that the right flags are set based on the negotiated

Sending short-gi frames in 20mhz may work on some chips but

is in the EEPROM documentation or internal driver.
The ath9k code used to have a bitfield here, rather than a uint8_t, and
there were #defines used to swap the order based on the endian of the
platform - this wasn't because of nybble or bit ordering of the
underlying host but because of what the compiler was doing.
This may be the reason for the backwards field numbers, as ath9k had
similar issues.

Add new RAID GEOM class, that is going to replace ataraid(4) in supporting
various BIOS-based software RAIDs. Unlike ataraid(4) this implementation
does not depend on legacy ata(4) subsystem and can be used with any disk
drivers, including new CAM-based ones (ahci(4), siis(4), mvs(4), ata(4)
with `options ATA_CAM`). To make code more readable and extensible, this
implementation follows modular design, including core part and two sets
of modules, implementing support for different metadata formats and RAID
levels.
Support for such popular metadata formats is now implemented:
Intel, JMicron, NVIDIA, Promise (also used by AMD/ATI) and SiliconImage.
Such RAID levels are now supported:
RAID0, RAID1, RAID1E, RAID10, SINGLE, CONCAT.
For any all of these RAID levels and metadata formats this class supports
full cycle of volume operations: reading, writing, creation, deletion,
disk removal and insertion, rebuilding, dirty shutdown detection
and resynchronization, bad sector recovery, faulty disks tracking,
hot-spare disks. For Intel and Promise formats there is support multiple
volumes per disk set.

Introduce new type of BIO_GETATTR -- GEOM::setstate, used to inform lower
GEOM about state of it's providers from the point of upper layers.
Make geom_disk use led(4) subsystem to illuminate states in such fashion:
FAILED - "1" (on), REBUILD - "f5" (slow blink), RESYNC - "f1" (fast blink),
ACTIVE - "0" (off).
LED name should be set for each disk via kern.geom.disk.%s.led sysctl.
Later disk API could be extended to allow disk driver to report this info
in custom way via it's own facilities.
Make `geom XXX list` and `geom XXX status` outputs more consistent:
Add -a options to print all geoms, not only ones with providers.
Add -g option for `status` to report geom's names, not provider's.
Make `status` by default report provider's status (if present), not geom's.
Make `status` report consumer's statuses, not only "synchronized" field.
- Hold the proc lock while changing the state from PRS_NEW to PRS_NORMAL
in fork to honor the locking requirements. While here, expand the scope
of the PROC_LOCK() on the new process (p2) to avoid some LORs. Previously
the code was locking the new child process (p2) after it had locked the
parent process (p1). However, when locking two processes, the safe order
is to lock the child first, then the parent.
- Fix various places that were checking p_state against PRS_NEW without
having the process locked to use PROC_LOCK(). Every place was already
locking the process, just after the PRS_NEW check.
- Remove or reduce the use of PROC_SLOCK() for places that were checking
p_state against PRS_NEW. The PROC_LOCK() alone is sufficient for reading
the current state.
- Reorder fill_kinfo_proc() slightly so it only acquires PROC_SLOCK() once.

The symptom: sometimes 11n (and non-11n) throughput is great.
Sometimes it isn't. Much teeth gnashing occured, and much kernel
bisecting happened, until someone figured out it was the order
of which things were rebooted, not the kernel versions.
(Which was great news to me, it meant that I hadn't broken if_ath.)
What we found was that sometimes the WME parameters for the best-effort
queue had a burst window ("txop") in which the station would be allowed
to TX as many packets as it could fit inside that particular burst
window. This improved throughput.
After initially thinking it was a bug - the WME parameters for the
best-effort queue -should- have a txop of 0, Bernard and I discovered
"aggressive mode" in net80211 - where the WME BE queue parameters
are changed if there's not a lot of high priority traffic going on.
The WME parameters announced in the association response and beacon
frames just "change" based on what the current traffic levels are.
So in fact yes, the STA was acutally supposed to be doing this higher
throughput stuff as it's just meant to be configuring things based on
the WME parameters - but it wasn't.
What was eventually happening was this:
* at startup, the wme qosinfo count field would be 0;
* it'd be parsed in ieee80211_parse_wmeparams();
* and it would be bumped (to say 10);
* .. and the WME queue parameters would be correctly parsed and set.
But then, when you restarted the assocation (eg hostap goes away and
comes back with the same qosinfo count field of 10, or if you
destroy the sta VIF and re-create it), the WME qosinfo count field -
which is associated not to the VIF, but to the main interface -
wouldn't be cleared, so the queue default parameters would be used
(which include no burst setting for the BE queue) and would remain
that way until the hostap qosinfo count field changed, or the STA
was actually rebooted.
This fix simply cleares the wme capability field (which has the count
field) to 0, forcing it to be reset by the next received beacon.
Thanks go to Milu for finding it and helping me track down what was
going on, and Bernard Schmidt for working through the net80211 and
WME specific magic.
Change BIO_GETATTR("GEOM::kerneldump") API to make set_dumper() called by
consumer (geom_dev) instead of provider (geom_disk). This allows any geom
insert it's code into the dump call chain, implementing more sophisticated
functionality then just disk partitioning.
