I've used this in a handful of RSS test applications. It is just some
very simple functions to fetch the RSS configuration, query the per-bucket
CPU set, and mark sockets as local to an RSS bucket. It should be sufficient
for both thread-based and process-based workloads.
(Yes, I wrote a manpage.)
This is based on some early RSS API and wrapper API work I did whilst
I was at Netflix. Thanks to Netflix for the very original work that
spawned this; thanks to Peter Grehan for his feedback about RSS APIs
and thanks to Jack Vogel and Navdeep Parhar for the NIC-facing side of the
APIs. These fed into the simple userland API I wrote up here.

Restore pre-r300383 behavior when a frame is sent:
- stop scan;
- send frame;
- when beacon arrives and our bit in TIM is not set - restart the scan.
NOTE:
Ideally, this should introduce new interface (ieee80211_pause_anyscan());
however, since ieee80211_cancel_anyscan() is not used by drivers and only
called by ieee80211_start_pkt() the current patch overrides it's behavior
instead.

Reduce contention during TLB invalidation operations by using a per-CPU
completion flag, rather than a single atomically-updated variable.
On a Westmere system (2 sockets x 4 cores x 1 threads), dtrace measurements
show that smp_tlb_shootdown is about 50% faster with this patch; observations
with VTune show that the percentage of time spent in invlrng_single_page on an
interrupt (actually doing invalidation, rather than synchronization) increases
from 31% with the old mechanism to 71% with the new one. (Running a basic file
server workload.)

Previously free vnodes would always by directly returned to the global
LRU list. With this change up to mnt_free_list_batch vnodes are collected
first.
syncer runs always return the batch regardless of its size.
While vnodes on per-mnt lists are not counted as free, they can be
returned in case of vnode shortage.

The blacklistd daemon attempted to restore the filtering rules
before the database of blocked addresses was opened, so no rules
were being reloaded. Now the rules are properly recreated when the
daemon is started with '-r'.
This bug was fixed locally, and then sent upstream to NetBSD.
This changeset is the import the NetBSD version of the change,
which added debugging output to alert about a null database.

1. Size returned for variable name is in bytes, not CHAR16 (the
UEFI standard is unclear on this, where it is clear on the size of
the variable).
2. Dynamically allocate the buffers so we can grow them if someone
defines a super-long variable name.
These two fixes allow me to examine all the variables in my BIOS and
also removes the repeated printing of variables.

like other PCI network drivers. The sys/ofed directory is now mainly
reserved for generic infiniband code, with exception of the mthca driver.
- Add new manual page, mlx4en(4), describing how to configure and load
mlx4en.
- All relevant driver C-files are now prefixed mlx4, mlx4_en and
mlx4_ib respectivly to avoid object filename collisions when compiling
the kernel. This also fixes an issue with proper dependency file
generation for the C-files in question.
- Device mlxen is now device mlx4en and depends on device mlx4, see
mlx4en(4). Only the network device name remains unchanged.
- The mlx4 and mlx4en modules are now built by default on i386 and
amd64 targets. Only building the mlx4ib module depends on
WITH_OFED=YES .

FreeBSD supports lazy allocation of PCI BAR, that is, when a device
driver's attach method is invoked, even if the device's PCI BAR
address wasn't initialized, the invocation of bus_alloc_resource_any()
(the call chain: pci_alloc_resource() -> pci_alloc_multi_resource() ->
pci_reserve_map() -> pci_write_bar()) would allocate a proper address
for the PCI BAR and write this 'lazy allocated' address into the PCI
BAR.
This model works fine for native FreeBSD device drivers, but _not_ for
device drivers shared with Linux (e.g. dev/mlx5/mlx5_core/mlx5_main.c
and ofed/drivers/net/mlx4/main.c. Both of them use
pci_request_regions(), which doesn't work properly with the PCI BAR
lazy allocation, because pci_resource_type() -> _pci_get_rle() always
returns NULL, so pci_request_regions() doesn't have the opportunity to
invoke bus_alloc_resource_any(). We now use pci_find_bar() in
pci_resource_type(), which is able to locate all available PCI BARs
even if some of them will be lazy allocated.

and hw.psm.elantech_support with respective sysctls declared with
CTLFLAG_TUN. It simplifies checking them in userland, also makes them
easier to get discovered by user
- Get rid of debug.psm.loglevel and hw.psm.tap_enabled TUNABLE_INT

already declared for these tunables.

Summary:
NXP/Freescale, among others, includes an optional cell-index property
on nodes to denote the SoC block number of the node. This can be useful if, for
example, a node is disabled or nonexistent in the fdt, or the blocks are not
organized in address-sorted order. For instance, on the P1022, DMA2 is located
at CCSR offset 0xC000, while DMA1 is located at 0x21000.

during testing of network related changes where cached entries may pollute your
results, or during known congestion events where you don't want to unfairly
penalize hosts.
Prior to r232346 this would have meant you would break any connection with a sub
1500 MTU, as the hostcache was authoritative. All entries as they stand today
should simply be used to pre populate values for efficiency.
