802.11b chipset work. This chip is present on the SMC2602W version 3
NIC, which is what was used for testing. This driver creates kernel
threads (12 of them!) for various purposes, and required the following
routines:
PsCreateSystemThread()
PsTerminateSystemThread()
KeInitializeEvent()
KeSetEvent()
KeResetEvent()
KeInitializeMutex()
KeReleaseMutex()
KeWaitForSingleObject()
KeWaitForMultipleObjects()
IoGetDeviceProperty()
and several more. Also, this driver abuses the fact that NDIS events
and timers are actually Windows events and timers, and uses NDIS events
with KeWaitForSingleObject(). The NDIS event routines have been rewritten
to interface with the ntoskrnl module. Many routines with incorrect
prototypes have been cleaned up.
Also, this driver puts jobs on the NDIS taskqueue (via NdisScheduleWorkItem())
which block on events, and this interferes with the operation of
NdisMAllocateSharedMemoryAsync(), which was also being put on the
NDIS taskqueue. To avoid the deadlock, NdisMAllocateSharedMemoryAsync()
is now performed in the NDIS SWI thread instead.
There's still room for some cleanups here, and I really should implement
KeInitializeTimer() and friends.
seems to work well in RELENG_4. However, 5.X locking foo means that I'll
have to do some quick redesign.
Add ioctl handlers for ISP_GETROLE and ISP_SETROLE ioctls.
handling of resources shortages. The driver is now so fast that it can
completely fill all 512 slots on the card, but for some reason only 511
slots are being allocated. Anything that tries to go into the 512th
slot gets silently lost. Both bugs need to be fixed at a later date,
but this should fix the reports of hangs in getblk and vinvalb.
edge cases in the loop.
- Try to grab a command before dequeueing the bio from the bioq. The old
behaviour of requeuing deferred bios to the end of the bioq is arguably
wrong. This should be fixed in the future to check the bioq head without
automatically dequeueing the bio.
- do not use PROG for what's not a real C program,
- use sys.mk transformation rules where possible,
- only create the "machine" symlink on AMD64,
- removed MAINTAINER lines in individual makefiles,
- added the LIBSTAND defitinion to <bsd.libnames.mk>,
- somewhat better contents in .depend files.
Tested on: i386, amd64

to catch are already nicely caught by trapping the null pointer derefs.
Remove no-longer-used noswitch/nothrow strings. They were referenced
by the stub cpu_switch() etc functions before they were implemented.
Try something a little different for the lock prefixes.
Prompted by: bde (the first two items anyway)
RLIM_INFINITY case for ogetrlimit().
- Use %jd and intmax_t to output negative time in usec in calcru().
- Rework getrusage() to make a copy of the rusage struct into a local
variable while holding Giant and then do the copyout from the local
variable to avoid having to have the original process rusage struct
locked while doing the copyout (which would not be safe). This also
includes a few style fixes from Bruce to getrusage().

options since revision 1.2, so removed the XXX comment now.
Fixed bogus test(1) expression that would be evaluated as a null
string test if script is run without arguments, compacted option
lists.
delete it each time its run and have it regenerated each time by make.
I used a quick hackish script rather than putting it in the files file
and used the before-depend rule to avoid the depend/no-depend hacks.
