netsend 127.0.0.1 6666-7777 [payloadsize] [packet_rate] [duration]
This is useful to test the behaviour of systems that do some kind
of flow classifications and so exhibit different behaviour depending
on the number of flows that hit them.
I plan to add a similar extension to sweep on a range of IP addresses,
so we can issue a single command to flood (obviously, for testing
purposes!) a number of different destinations.
When there is only one destination, we do a preliminary connect()
of the socket so we can use send() instead of sendto().
When we have multiple ports, the socket is not connect()'ed and we
do a sendto() instead. There is a performance hit in this case,
as the throughput on the loopback interface (with a firewall rule
that blocks the transmission) goes down from 900kpps to 490kpps on
my test machine.
If the number of different destinations is limited, one option to
explore is to have multiple connect()ed sockets.

handlers. This is primarily intended as a way to allow devices that use
multiple interrupts (e.g. MSI) to meaningfully distinguish the various
interrupt handlers.
- Add a new BUS_DESCRIBE_INTR() method to the bus interface to associate
a description with an active interrupt handler setup by BUS_SETUP_INTR.
It has a default method (bus_generic_describe_intr()) which simply passes
the request up to the parent device.
- Add a bus_describe_intr() wrapper around BUS_DESCRIBE_INTR() that supports
printf(9) style formatting using var args.
- Reserve MAXCOMLEN bytes in the intr_handler structure to hold the name of
an interrupt handler and copy the name passed to intr_event_add_handler()
into that buffer instead of just saving the pointer to the name.
- Add a new intr_event_describe_handler() which appends a description string
to an interrupt handler's name.
- Implement support for interrupt descriptions on amd64 and i386 by having
the nexus(4) driver supply a custom bus_describe_intr method that invokes
a new intr_describe() MD routine which in turn looks up the associated
interrupt event and invokes intr_event_describe_handler().

(hardwired to once every 20us at most).
I found out that on many machines round here, i could only get
300-400kpps with netsend even on loopback and a 'deny' rule in
the firewall, while reducing the number of calls to gettimeofday()
brings the value to 900kpps and more.
This code is just a quick fix for the problem. Of course it could be
done better, with proper getopt() parsing and the like, but since
this applies to the entire program i'll postpone that to when i have
more time.

1. There is a regression issue in the ARP code. The incomplete
ARP entry was timing out too quickly (1 second timeout), as
such, a new entry is created each time arpresolve() is called.
Therefore the maximum attempts made is always 1. Consequently
the error code returned to the application is always 0.
2. Set the expiration of each incomplete entry to a 20-second
lifetime.
3. Return "incomplete" entries to the application.

short read requests, so the result was that a /boot.config smaller than 512
bytes was ignored. boot2 uses fsread() instead of xfsread() to read
/boot.config already, so this makes zfsboot more like boot2.

According to the man page, when neither -H/-L nor -F/-d/-l are given, -H is
implied. This agrees with POSIX, GNU ls and Solaris ls. This means that -p,
although it is very similar to -F, does not prevent the implicit following

not blocking the signal, signal is placed on the thread sigqueue. If
the selected thread is in kernel executing thr_exit() or sigprocmask()
syscalls, then signal might be not delivered to usermode for arbitrary
amount of time, and for exiting thread it is lost.
Put process-directed signals to the process queue unconditionally,
selecting the thread to deliver the signal only by the thread returning
to usermode, since only then the thread can handle delivery of signal
reliably. For exiting thread or thread that has blocked some signals,
check whether the newly blocked signal is queued for the process, and
try to find a thread to wakeup for delivery, in reschedule_signal(). For
exiting thread, assume that all signals are blocked.
Change cursig() and postsig() to look both into the thread and process
signal queues. When there is a signal that thread returning to usermode
could consume, TDF_NEEDSIGCHK flag is not neccessary set now. Do
unlocked read of p_siglist and p_pendingcnt to check for queued signals.
Note that thread that has a signal unblocked might get spurious wakeup
and EINTR from the interruptible system call now, due to the possibility
of being selected by reschedule_signals(), while other thread returned
to usermode earlier and removed the signal from process queue. This
should not cause compliance issues, since the thread has not blocked a
signal and thus should be ready to receive it anyway.
