path MTU discovery and the tcp_minmss limiter for very small MTU's.
When the MTU suggested by the gateway via ICMP, or if there isn't
any the next smaller step from ip_next_mtu(), is lower than the
floor enforced by net.inet.tcp.minmss (default 216) the value is
ignored and the default MSS (512) is used instead. However the
DF flag in the IP header is still set in tcp_output() preventing
fragmentation by the gateway.
Fix this by using tcp_minmss as the MSS and clear the DF flag if
the suggested MTU is too low. This turns off path MTU dissovery
for the remainder of the session and allows fragmentation to be
done by the gateway.
Only MTU's smaller than 256 are affected. The smallest official
MTU specified is for AX.25 packet radio at 256 octets.

the case where you don't have it and don't want it. Remove the printf

and we loop back to 'again'. If the remainder is less or equal
to one full segment, the TSO flag was not cleared even though
it isn't necessary anymore. Enabling the TSO flag on a segment
that doesn't require any offloaded segmentation by the NIC may
cause confusion in the driver or hardware.

It was experimental and interferes with the normal congestion control
algorithms by instating a separate, possibly lower, ceiling for the
amount of data that is in flight to the remote host. With high speed
internet connections the inflight limit frequently has been estimated
too low due to the noisy nature of the RTT measurements.
This code gives way for the upcoming pluggable congestion control
framework. It is the task of the congestion control algorithm to
set the congestion window and amount of inflight data without external
interference.

Interrupt driven configuration hooks serve two purposes: they are a
mechanism for registering for a callback that is invoked once interrupt
services are available, and they hold off root device selection so long
as any configuration hooks are still active. Before this change, it was
not possible to safely register additional hooks from the context of a
configuration hook callback. The need for this feature arises when
interrupts are required to discover new devices (e.g. access to the XenStore
to find para-virtualized devices) which in turn also require the ability
to hold off root device selection until some lengthy, interrupt driven,
configuration task has completed (e.g. Xen front/back device driver
negotiation).
More specifically, the mutex protecting the list of active configuration
hooks is never held during a callback, and static information is used
to ensure proper ordering and only a single callback to each hook even
when faced with registration or removal of a hook during an active run.
