routines to guard against problems caused by (possibly) buggy drivers.
The RealTek 8180 wireless driver calls NdisFreeBuffer() to release
some of its buffers _after_ it's already called NdisFreeBufferPool()
to destroy the pool to which the buffers belong. In our implementation,
this error causes NdisFreeBuffer() to touch stale heap memory.
If you are running a release kernel, and hence have INVARIANTS et al
turned off, it turns out nothing happens. But if you're using a
development kernel config with INVARIANTS on, the malloc()/free()
sanity checks will scribble over the pool memory with 0xdeadc0de
once it's released so that any attempts to touch it will cause a
trap, and indeed this is what happens. It happens that I run 5.2-RELEASE
on my laptop, so when I tested the rtl8180.sys driver, it worked fine
for me, but people trying to run it with development systems checked
out or cvsupped from -current would get a page fault on driver load.
I can't find any reason why the NDISulator would cause the RealTek
driver to do the NdisFreeBufferPool() prematurely, and the same driver
obviously works with Windows -- or at least, it doesn't cause a crash:
the Microsoft documentation for NdisFreeBufferPool() says that failing
to return all buffers to the pool before calling NdisFreeBufferPool()
causes a memory leak.
I've written to my contacts at RealTek asking them to check if this
is indeed a bug in their driver. In the meantime, these new sanity checks
will catch this problem and issue a warning rather than causing a trap.
The trick is to keep a count of outstanding buffers for each buffer pool,
and if the driver tries to call NdisFreeBufferPool() while there are still
buffers outstanding, we mark the pool for deletion and then defer
destroying it until after the last buffer has been reclaimed.

race in between sleepq_add() and sleepq_catch_signals() in that setting
td_wchan and TDF_SINTR is not atomic to sched_lock but only to the sleepq

larger problem with the sleepq_add/sleepq_catch_signals race that I am not
sure how to solve. For the signals case the race is harmless because we
always call cursig() after setting TDF_SINTR. However, KSE doesn't do

am unsure if this race is harmful for this specific abort.

sleep queue interface:
- Sleep queues attempt to merge some of the benefits of both sleep queues
and condition variables. Having sleep qeueus in a hash table avoids
having to allocate a queue head for each wait channel. Thus, struct cv
has shrunk down to just a single char * pointer now. However, the
hash table does not hold threads directly, but queue heads. This means
that once you have located a queue in the hash bucket, you no longer have
to walk the rest of the hash chain looking for threads. Instead, you have
a list of all the threads sleeping on that wait channel.
- Outside of the sleepq code and the sleep/cv code the kernel no longer
differentiates between cv's and sleep/wakeup. For example, calls to
abortsleep() and cv_abort() are replaced with a call to sleepq_abort().
Thus, the TDF_CVWAITQ flag is removed. Also, calls to unsleep() and
cv_waitq_remove() have been replaced with calls to sleepq_remove().
- The sched_sleep() function no longer accepts a priority argument as
sleep's no longer inherently bump the priority. Instead, this is soley
a propery of msleep() which explicitly calls sched_prio() before
blocking.
- The TDF_ONSLEEPQ flag has been dropped as it was never used. The
associated TDF_SET_ONSLEEPQ and TDF_CLR_ON_SLEEPQ macros have also been
dropped and replaced with a single explicit clearing of td_wchan.
TD_SET_ONSLEEPQ() would really have only made sense if it had taken
the wait channel and message as arguments anyway. Now that that only
happens in one place, a macro would be overkill.

it will also be used to replace the ithread-specific iwait thread

Sleep queues are also not locked by sched_lock, so this splits sched_lock
up a bit further increasing concurrency within the scheduler. Sleep queues
also natively support timeouts on sleeps and interruptible sleeps allowing
for the reduction of a lot of duplicated code between the sleep/wakeup and
condition variable implementations. For more details on the sleep queue

This commit adds a couple of functions for pseudodrivers to use for
implementing cloning in a manner we will be able to lock down (shortly).
Basically what happens is that pseudo drivers get a way to ask for
"give me the dev_t with this unit number" or alternatively "give
me a dev_t with the lowest guaranteed free unit number" (there is
unfortunately a lot of non-POLA in the exact numeric value of this
number, just live with it for now)
Managing the unit number space this way removes the need to use
rman(9) to do so in the drivers this greatly simplifies the code in
the drivers because even using rman(9) they still needed to manage
their dev_t's anyway.
I have taken the if_tun, if_tap, snp and nmdm drivers through the
mill, partly because they (ab)used makedev(), but mostly because
together they represent three different problems for device-cloning:
if_tun and snp is the plain case: just give me a device.
if_tap has two kinds of devices, with a flag for device type.
nmdm has paired devices (ala pty) can you can clone either of them.
Free approx 86 major numbers with a mostly automatically generated patch.
A number of strategic drivers have been left behind by caution, and a few

into its own file:
- All of the $PIR interrupt routing is now done in a link-centric fashion.
When a host-PCI bridge that uses the $PIR attaches, it calls pir_parse()
to parse the table. This scans for link devices and merges all the masks
for each link device from the table entries. It then looks at the intline
register of PCI devices connected to a link to figure out if the BIOS has
routed this link and if so to which IRQ.
- The IRQ for any given link can be overridden via a hint like so:
'hw.pci.link.0x62.irq=10' Any IRQ set in this matter is treated as if it
were set that way by the BIOS.
- We only call the BIOS to route each link device once.
- When a PCI device wants to route an interrupt, we look it up in the $PIR
to find the associated link. If the link is routed, we simply return the
IRQ it is using. If it is not routed, we have to pick one. This uses a
different algorithm from the old code. First off, when we try to pick
an interrupt from a mask of possible interrupts, we try to pick the one
that is least loaded as far as PCI devices. We maintain this weight based
on the number of devices attached to each link device. When choosing an
IRQ, we first attempt to route using any PCI only interrupts (the old
code did this as well). If that doesn't work, we try to use the list of
IRQs that the BIOS has used. This is a new step that the new code didn't
do and avoids using IRQ 3 or 4 for every virgin interrupt routing. If
none of the IRQs that the BIOS used worked, then we fall back to trying
anything.
- The fallback mask for !PC98 was fixed to include IRQ 3 and not allow IRQ
2.
- We don't use the $PIR to route interrupts on a PCI-PCI bridge unless it
has already been used to route on at least one Host-PCI bridge. This
helps to avoid mixing and matching x86 firmware PCI interrupt routing
methods (which is a Bad Thing(tm)).

race condition is identical in nature to that which was addressed by
vm_pageout.c's revision 1.251 and vm_page.c's revision 1.275.
MFC after: 7 days
- When adding new waiting threads to the waitlist for an object,
use INSERT_LIST_TAIL() instead of INSERT_LIST_HEAD() so that new
waiters go at the end of the list instead of the beginning. When we
wake up a synchronization object, only the first waiter is awakened,
and this needs to be the first thread that actually waited on the object.
- Correct missing semicolon in INSERT_LIST_TAIL() macro.
- Implement lookaside lists correctly. Note that the Am1771 driver
uses lookaside lists to manage shared memory (i.e. DMAable) buffers
by specifying its own alloc and free routines. The Microsoft documentation
says you should avoid doing this, but apparently this did not deter
the developers at AMD from doing it anyway.
With these changes (which are the result of two straight days of almost
non-stop debugging), I think I finally have the object/thread handling
semantics implemented correctly. The Am1771 driver no longer crashes
unexpectedly during association or bringing the interface up.
resources. (Note that the correct range is 0x3f7,0x3f0-0x3f5.) Such
devices will be detected as follows:
fdc0: <Enhanced floppy controller (i82077, NE72065 or clone)> port
0x3f7,0x3f4-0x3f5,0x3f2-0x3f3,0x3f0-0x3f1 irq 6 drq 2 on acpi0
To do this, we find the minimum and maximum start addresses for the
resources and use them as the base for the IO and control ports.
