freebsd with flexible iflib nic queues

These functions use DEV_STRATEGY() which can easily return a short count (with no error) for reads near EOF. EOF happens for "disks" too small to contain a label sector (mainly for empty slices). The functions didn't understand this at all, and looked for labels in the garbage in the buffer beyond what DEV_STRATEGY() returned. The recent UMA changes combined with my local changes and configuration resulted in the garbage often containing a valid but garbage label left over from a previous call. Bugs in EOF handling in -current limited the problem to "disks" with size precisely LABELSECTOR sectors. LABELSECTOR happens to be a very unusual "disk" size since it is only 0 for non-i386 arches that don't usually have disks with DOS MBRs. |

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/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.
