A link reset now is completely transparent for the netmap client:
even if the NIC resets its own ring (e.g. restarting from 0),
the client will not see any change in the current rx/tx positions,
because the driver will keep track of the offset between the two.
2. make the device-specific code more uniform across different drivers
There were some inconsistencies in the implementation of the netmap
support routines, now drivers have been aligned to a common
code structure.
3. import netmap support for ixgbe . This is implemented as a very
small patch for ixgbe.c (233 lines, 11 chunks, mostly comments:
in total the patch has only 54 lines of new code) , as most of
the code is in an external file sys/dev/netmap/ixgbe_netmap.h ,
following some initial comments from Jack Vogel about making
changes less intrusive.
(Note, i have emailed Jack multiple times asking if he had
comments on this structure of the code; i got no reply so
i assume he is fine with it).
Support for other drivers (em, lem, re, igb) will come later.
"ixgbe" is now the reference driver for netmap support. Both the
external file (sys/dev/netmap/ixgbe_netmap.h) and the device-specific
patches (in sys/dev/ixgbe/ixgbe.c) are heavily commented and should
serve as a reference for other device drivers.
Tested on i386 and amd64 with the pkt-gen program in tools/tools/netmap,

aggressive optimizations such as adding 'prefetch' instructions
in the time-critical parts of the code.
difference between fi_wgen and f_seqcount, so the change is purely

check for a UTF-8 compliant file name. Enabling this sysctl results in
an NFSv4 server that is non-RFC3530 compliant, therefore it is not enabled
by default. However, enabling this sysctl results in NFSv3 compatible
behaviour and fixes the problem reported by "dan at sunsaturn.com"
to freebsd-current@ on Nov. 14, 2011 under the subject "NFSV4 readlink_stat".

The "domain-search" option (option 119) allows a DHCP server to publish
a list of implicit domain suffixes used during name lookup. This option
is described in RFC 3397.
For instance, if the domain-search option says:
".example.org .example.com"
and one wants to resolve "foobar", the resolver will try:
1. "foobar.example.org"
2. "foobar.example.com"
The file /etc/resolv.conf is updated with a "search" directive if the
DHCP server provides "domain-search".
A regression test suite is included in this patch under
tools/regression/sbin/dhclient.

These realtek switch PHYs speak a variant of i2c with some slightly
modified handling.
From the submitter, slightly modified now that some further digging
has been done:
The I2C framework makes a assumption that the read/not-write bit of the first
byte (the address) indicates whether reads or writes are to follow.
The RTL8366 family uses the bus: after sending the address+read/not-write byte,
two register address bytes are sent, then the 16-bit register value is sent
or received. While the register write access can be performed as a 4-byte
write, the read access requires the read bit to be set, but the first two bytes
for the register address then need to be transmitted.
This patch maintains the i2c protocol behaviour but allows it to be relaxed
(for these kinds of switch PHYs, and whatever else Realtek may do with this
almost-but-not-quite i2c bus) - by setting the "strict" hint to 0.
The "strict" hint defaults to 1.

It appears this device fails if sent a SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE command, so add
quirk to avoid sending it.
I will follow up with Micron on this issue, and will adjust the quirk if
necessary based on their feedback.

of the same lock_owner4 string. As such, the handling of cleanup
of lock_owners could be simplified. This simplification permitted
the client to do a ReleaseLockOwner operation when the process that
the lock_owner4 string represents, has exited. This permits the
server to release any storage related to the lock_owner4 string
before the associated open is closed. Without this change, it
is possible to exhaust a server's storage when a long running
process opens a file and then many child processes do locking
on the file, because the open doesn't get closed. A similar patch
was applied to the Linux NFSv4 client recently so that it wouldn't
exhaust a server's storage.

According to the open firmware standard, finddevice call has to return
a phandle with value of -1 in case of error.
This commit is to:
- Fix the FDT implementation of this interface (ofw_fdt_finddevice) to
return (phandle_t)-1 in case of error, instead of 0 as it does now.
- Fix up the callers of OF_finddevice() to compare the return value with
-1 instead of 0 to check for errors.
- Since phandle_t is unsigned, the return value of OF_finddevice should
be checked with '== -1' rather than '<= 0' or '> 0', fix up these cases
as well.
