L2 code does not have the ethernet address for the destination within the broadcast domain in the table, we remember the original mbuf in `la_hold' in arpresolve() and send out a different packet with an arp request. In case there will be more upper layer packets to send we will free an earlier one held in `la_hold' and queue the new one. Once we get a packet in, with which we can perfect our arp table entry we send out the original 'on hold' packet, should there be any. Rather than continuing to process the packet that we received, we returned without freeing the packet that came in, which basically means that we leaked an mbuf for every arp request we sent. Rather than freeing the received packet and returning, continue to process the incoming arp packet as well. This should (a) improve some setups, also proxy-arp, in case it was an incoming arp request and (b) resembles the behaviour FreeBSD had from day 1, which alignes with RFC826 "Packet reception" (merge case). Rename 'm0' to 'hold' to make the code more understandable as well as diffable to earlier versions more easily. Handle the link-layer entry 'la' lock comepletely in the block where needed and release it as early as possible, rather than holding it longer, down to the end of the function.

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 ``world'' target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not changed from the currently running version. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. 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.
