How network VF works with hn(4) on Hyper-V in non-transparent mode:
- Each network VF has a cooresponding hn(4).
- The network VF and the it's cooresponding hn(4) have the same hardware
address.
- Once the network VF is up, e.g. ifconfig VF up:
o All of the transmission should go through the network VF.
o Most of the reception goes through the network VF.
o Small amount of reception may go through the cooresponding hn(4).
This reception will happen, even if the the cooresponding hn(4) is
down. The cooresponding hn(4) will change the reception interface
to the network VF, so that network layer and application layer will
be tricked into thinking that these packets were received by the
network VF.
o The cooresponding hn(4) pretends the physical link is down.
- Once the network VF is down or detached:
o All of the transmission should go through the cooresponding hn(4).
o All of the reception goes through the cooresponding hn(4).
o The cooresponding hn(4) fallbacks to the original physical link
detection logic.
All these features are mainly used to help live migration, during which
the network VF will be detached, while the network communication to the
VM must not be cut off. In order to reach this level of live migration
transparency, we use failover mode lagg(4) with the network VF and the
cooresponding hn(4) attached to it.
To ease user configuration for both network VF and non-network VF, the
lagg(4) will be created by the following rules, and the configuration
of the cooresponding hn(4) will be applied to the lagg(4) automatically.

request that their clock_settime() methods be called at a given offset
from top-of-second. This adds a timeout_task to the rtc_instance so that
each clock can be separately added to taskqueue_thread with the scheduling
it prefers, instead of looping through all the clocks at once with a
single task on taskqueue_thread. If a driver doesn't call clock_schedule()
the default is the old behavior: clock_settime() is queued immediately.
The motivation behind this is that I was on the path of adding identical
code to a third RTC driver to figure out a delta to top-of-second and
sleep for that amount of time because writing the the RTC registers resets
the hardware's concept of top-of-second. (Sometimes it's not top-of-second,
some RTC clocks tick over a half second after you set their time registers.)
Worst-case would be to sleep for almost a full second, which is a rude thing
to do on a shared task queue thread.
over the scheduling precision than 'ticks' can offer, and because sometimes
you're already working with sbintime_t units and it's dumb to convert them
to ticks just so they can get converted back to sbintime_t under the hood.
- Remove 'if_rtwn_load="YES"' line from loader.conf; the module was
renamed in r319733 + it will be loaded automatically as a dependency.
- Move new sentence to new line.
- Add short description for dev.rtwn.%d.rx_buf_size tunable.
Since device can pass multiple frames in a single payload temporary
Rx buffer was big enough to hold all of them; now the driver can
concatenate a single frame from multiple payloads.
The Rx buffer size may be configured via tunable (dev.rtwn.%d.rx_buf_size).

between 12/24 hour mode. Also fix conversion between 12 and 24 hour mode.
It's not as easy as adding/subtracting 12, because the clock doesn't roll
over 11->0, it rolls over 12->1; 0 isn't a valid hour in AM/PM mode.
Don't enable the oscillator when it is found to be stopped at init time,

PR33902: Invalidate line number cache when adding more text to
existing buffer.
This led to crashes as the line number cache would report a bogus
line number for a line of code, and we'd try to find a nonexistent
column within the line when printing diagnostics.
This fixes an assertion when building the graphics/champlain port.

Do the allocation before requesting the IOCFacts message. This triggers
the LSI firmware to recognize the multiqueue should be enabled if available.
Multiqueue isn't used by the driver yet, but this also fixes a problem with
the cached IOCFacts not matching latter checks, leading to potential problems
with error recovery.
As a side-effect, fetch the driver tunables as early as possible.

all the chips in the NXP PCA212x and PCA/PCF85xx series. In addition to
supporting more chips, this driver uses the countdown timer on the chips as
a fractional seconds counter, giving it a resolution of about 15 milliseconds.

This is handy for FreeBSD derivatives that want to modify the value of
MAXPATHLEN, but not the kld_file_stat ABI.

The test code prior to r311893 loaded geom_gate at test start if necessary and
skipped the tests if it couldn't be loaded.
The ATF-ifcation of this test done in r311893 unfortunately dropped this
functionality.
This change restores the geom_gate module load and skips the test(s) if unavailable
in an ATF-like way.

The new "-N" option does a forced dismount of an NFS mount point, but avoids
doing any checking of the mounted-on path, so that it will not get hung
when a vnode lock is held by another hung process on the mounted-on vnode.
The most common case of this is a "umount" with the "-f" option.
Other than avoiding checking the mounted-on path, it performs the same
forced dismount as a successful "umount -f" would do.
This commit includes a content change to the man page.

When an NFS mount is hung against an unresponsive NFS server, the "umount -f"
option can be used to dismount the mount. Unfortunately, "umount -f" gets
hung as well if a "umount" without "-f" has already been done. Usually,
this is because of a vnode lock being held by the "umount" for the mounted-on
vnode.
This patch adds kernel code so that a new "-N" option can be added to "umount",
allowing it to avoid getting hung for this case.
It adds two flags. One indicates that a forced dismount is about to happen
and the other is used, along with setting mnt_data == NULL, to handshake
with the nfs_unmount() VFS call.
It includes a slight change to the interface used between the client and
common NFS modules, so I bumped __FreeBSD_version to ensure both modules are
rebuilt.

Use them in some existing code that is vulnerable to roundoff errors.
The existing constant SBT_1NS is a honeypot, luring unsuspecting folks into
writing code such as long_timeout_ns*SBT_1NS to generate the argument for a
sleep call. The actual value of 1ns in sbt units is ~4.3, leading to a
large roundoff error giving a shorter sleep than expected when multiplying
by the trucated value of 4 in SBT_1NS. (The evil honeypot aspect becomes
clear after you waste a whole day figuring out why your sleeps return early.)
Since we imported clang 5.0.0, the version check in Makefile.inc1 which
checks whether to use libc++ fires even when the compiler for the target
architecture is gcc 4.2.1. This is because only X_COMPILER_VERSION is
checked. Also check X_COMPILER_TYPE, so it will only use libc++ when an
external gcc toolchain is used.

Currently in Virtio driver without TSO/GSO features enabled, the max scatter
gather segments for the TX path can be 4, which limits the support for 9K JUMBO
frames. 9K JUMBO frames results in more than 4 scatter gather segments and
virtio driver fails to send the frame down to host OS. With TSO/GSO feature
enabled max scatter gather segments can be 64, then 9K JUMBO frames are fine,
this is making virtio driver to support JUMBO frames only with TSO/GSO.
Increasing the VTNET_MIN_TX_SEGS which is the case for non TSO/GSO to 32 to
support upto 64K JUMBO frames to Host.
