net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft
standard. This standard is expected to become final next year.
This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c
which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation,
routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c
which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network.
HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but
others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented.
Authentication and encryption are not implemented.
There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be
used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you
how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create
wlandev ... wlanmode mesh).
A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled
by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98.
Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl.
More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh
Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that
bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported.
Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to
Sam Leffler for his support.
Also, I would like to thank Gateworks Corporation for sending me a
Cambria board which was used during the development of this project.

The IOCTL functionality is entirely duplicated and routing sockets
provide a richer interface than the kqueue functionality.
Further, it is not practical for these devices to be made sensible in

in_ifaddrhead and INADDR_HASH address lists.
Previously, these lists were used unsynchronized as they were effectively
never changed in steady state, but we've seen increasing reports of
writer-writer races on very busy VPN servers as core count has gone up
(and similar configurations where address lists change frequently and
concurrently).
For the time being, use rwlocks rather than rmlocks in order to take
advantage of their better lock debugging support. As a result, we don't
enable ip_input()'s read-locking of INADDR_HASH until an rmlock conversion
is complete and a performance analysis has been done. This means that one
class of reader-writer races still exists.

This closes many small races in which changes to interface
or address lists while an ifaddr was in use could lead to use of freed
memory (etc). In a few cases, add missing if_addr_list locking
required to safely acquire references.
Because of a lack of deep copying support, we accept a race in which
an in6_ifaddr pointed to by mbuf tags and extracted with
ip6_getdstifaddr() doesn't hold a reference while in transmit. Once
we have mbuf tag deep copy support, this can be fixed.

vnode interlock to protect the knote fields [1]. The locking assumes
that shared vnode lock is held, thus we get exclusive access to knote
either by exclusive vnode lock protection, or by shared vnode lock +
vnode interlock.
Do not use kl_locked() method to assert either lock ownership or the
fact that curthread does not own the lock. For shared locks, ownership
is not recorded, e.g. VOP_ISLOCKED can return LK_SHARED for the shared
lock not owned by curthread, causing false positives in kqueue subsystem
assertions about knlist lock.
Remove kl_locked method from knlist lock vector, and add two separate
assertion methods kl_assert_locked and kl_assert_unlocked, that are
supposed to use proper asserts. Change knlist_init accordingly.
Add convenience function knlist_init_mtx to reduce number of arguments
