and move both flags from ifnet.if_flags to ifnet.if_drv_flags, making
and documenting the locking of these flags the responsibility of the
device driver, not the network stack. The flags for these two fields
will be mutually exclusive so that they can be exposed to user space as
though they were stored in the same variable.
Provide #defines to provide the old names #ifndef _KERNEL, so that user
applications (such as ifconfig) can use the old flag names. Using the
old names in a device driver will result in a compile error in order to
help device driver writers adopt the new model.
When exposing the interface flags to user space, via interface ioctls
or routing sockets, or the two fields together. Since the driver flags
cannot currently be set for user space, no new logic is currently
required to handle this case.
Add some assertions that general purpose network stack routines, such
as if_setflags(), are not improperly used on driver-owned flags.
With this change, a large number of very minor network stack races are
closed, subject to correct device driver locking. Most were likely
never triggered.

This changes the kernel API for /dev cloning, and may affect third

I copied strcasecmp() from userland to the kernel and it didn't worked!
I started to debug the problem and I find out that this line:

was adding _3_ bytes to 'us2' pointer. Am I loosing my minds here?!...
No, in-kernel tolower() is a macro which uses its argument three times.
Bad tolower(9), no cookie.
the buffer has not been wired and we are holding any non-sleep-able locks,
drop a witness warning. If the buffer has not been wired, it is possible
that the writing of the data can sleep, especially if the page is not in

dead locks.

Crypto changes:
o change driver/net80211 key_alloc api to return tx+rx key indices; a
driver can leave the rx key index set to IEEE80211_KEYIX_NONE or set
it to be the same as the tx key index (the former disables use of
the key index in building the keyix->node mapping table and is the
default setup for naive drivers by null_key_alloc)
o add cs_max_keyid to crypto state to specify the max h/w key index a
driver will return; this is used to allocate the key index mapping
table and to bounds check table loookups
o while here introduce ieee80211_keyix (finally) for the type of a h/w
key index
o change crypto notifiers for rx failures to pass the rx key index up
as appropriate (michael failure, replay, etc.)
Node table changes:
o optionally allocate a h/w key index to node mapping table for the
station table using the max key index setting supplied by drivers
(note the scan table does not get a map)
o defer node table allocation to lateattach so the driver has a chance
to set the max key id to size the key index map
o while here also defer the aid bitmap allocation
o add new ieee80211_find_rxnode_withkey api to find a sta/node entry
on frame receive with an optional h/w key index to use in checking
mapping table; also updates the map if it does a hash lookup and the
found node has a rx key index set in the unicast key; note this work
is separated from the old ieee80211_find_rxnode call so drivers do
not need to be aware of the new mechanism
o move some node table manipulation under the node table lock to close
a race on node delete
o add ieee80211_node_delucastkey to do the dirty work of deleting
unicast key state for a node (deletes any key and handles key map
references)
Ath driver:
o nuke private sc_keyixmap mechansim in favor of net80211 support
o update key alloc api
These changes close several race conditions for the ath driver operating
in ap mode. Other drivers should see no change. Station mode operation
for ath no longer uses the key index map but performance tests show no
noticeable change and this will be fixed when the scan table is eliminated
with the new scanning support.

made in pmap_protect(): The pmap's resident count should not be reduced
unless mappings are removed.
The errant change to the pmap's resident count could result in a later
pmap_remove() failing to remove any mappings if the errant change has set
the pmap's resident count to zero.
o Allocate a VHPT per CPU. The VHPT is a hash table that the CPU
uses to look up translations it can't find in the TLB. As such,
the VHPT serves as a level 1 cache (the TLB being a level 0 cache)
and best results are obtained when it's not shared between CPUs.
The collision chain (i.e. the hash bucket) is shared between CPUs,
as all buckets together constitute our collection of PTEs. To
achieve this, the collision chain does not point to the first PTE
in the list anymore, but to a hash bucket head structure. The
head structure contains the pointer to the first PTE in the list,
as well as a mutex to lock the bucket. Thus, each bucket is locked
independently of each other. With at least 1024 buckets in the VHPT,
this provides for sufficiently finei-grained locking to make the
ssolution scalable to large SMP machines.
o Add synchronisation to the lazy FP context switching. We do this
with a seperate per-thread lock. On SMP machines the lazy high FP
context switching without synchronisation caused inconsistent
state, which resulted in a panic. Since the use of the high FP
registers is not common, it's possible that races exist. The ia64
package build has proven to be a good stress test, so this will
get plenty of exercise in the near future.
o Don't use the local ID of the processor we want to send the IPI to
as the argument to ipi_send(). use the struct pcpu pointer instead.
The reason for this is that IPI delivery is unreliable. It has been
observed that sending an IPI to a CPU causes it to receive a stray
external interrupt. As such, we need a way to make the delivery
reliable. The intended solution is to queue requests in the target
CPU's per-CPU structure and use a single IPI to inform the CPU that
there's a new entry in the queue. If that IPI gets lost, the CPU
can check it's queue at any convenient time (such as for each
clock interrupt). This also allows us to send requests to a CPU
without interrupting it, if such would be beneficial.
With these changes SMP is almost working. There are still some random
process crashes and the machine can hang due to having the IPI lost
that deals with the high FP context switch.
The overhead of introducing the hash bucket head structure results
in a performance degradation of about 1% for UP (extra pointer
indirection). This is surprisingly small and is offset by gaining
reasonably/good scalable SMP support.
allocating a VHPT per CPU. Since we don't yet know how many CPUs
are actually in the system at the time we need to allocate the
VHPTs, we allocate for MAXCPU processors. This can result in a
lot of wasted space for 2-way machines. So, for now, limit MAXCPU
to something smaller until we have something more dynamic.
integer to an unsigned long. This lifts variables like the maximum
number of pages available for shared memory from 2^31 to 2^32 on 32
bit architectures, and from 2^31 to 2^64 on 64 bit architectures.
It should be noted that this changes breaks ABI on 64 bit architectures
because the size of the shmmax, shmmin, shmmni, shmseg and shmall members
of the shminfo structure has changed.

when operating in ap mode. Previously we allocated a node from the
station table, sent the frame (using the node), then released the
reference that "held the frame in the table". But while the frame
was in flight the node might be reclaimed which could lead to
problems. The solution is to add an ieee80211_tmp_node routine
that crafts a node that does exist in a table and so isn't ever
reclaimed; it exists only so long as the associated frame is in flight.

checking if the mount wants knotes to be activated in the VOP hooks.
So, we add a new vnode flag VV_NOKNOTE that is only set in getnewvnode(),

Since the flags are not erased when a vnode is being held, we can safely
