a socket from a regular socket to a listening socket able to accept new connections. As part of this state transition, solisten() calls into the protocol to update protocol-layer state. There were several bugs in this implementation that could result in a race wherein a TCP SYN received in the interval between the protocol state transition and the shortly following socket layer transition would result in a panic in the TCP code, as the socket would be in the TCPS_LISTEN state, but the socket would not have the SO_ACCEPTCONN flag set. This change does the following: - Pushes the socket state transition from the socket layer solisten() to to socket "library" routines called from the protocol. This permits the socket routines to be called while holding the protocol mutexes, preventing a race exposing the incomplete socket state transition to TCP after the TCP state transition has completed. The check for a socket layer state transition is performed by solisten_proto_check(), and the actual transition is performed by solisten_proto(). - Holds the socket lock for the duration of the socket state test and set, and over the protocol layer state transition, which is now possible as the socket lock is acquired by the protocol layer, rather than vice versa. This prevents additional state related races in the socket layer. This permits the dual transition of socket layer and protocol layer state to occur while holding locks for both layers, making the two changes atomic with respect to one another. Similar changes are likely require elsewhere in the socket/protocol code.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
