Quote from kern/37573:
There is an obvious race in netinet/ip_dummynet.c:config_pipe().
Interrupts are not blocked when changing the params of an
existing pipe. The specific crash observed:
... -> config_pipe -> set_fs_parms -> config_red
malloc a new w_q_lookup table but take an interrupt before
intializing it, interrupt handler does:
... -> dummynet_io -> red_drops
red_drops dereferences the uninitialized (zeroed) w_q_lookup
table.
o Flush accumulated credits for idle pipes.
o Flush accumulated credits when change pipe characteristics.
o Change dn_flow_queue.numbytes type to unsigned long.
Overlapping dn_flow_queue->numbytes in ready_event() leads to
numbytes becomes negative and SET_TICKS() macro returns a very
big value. heap_insert() overlaps dn_key again and inserts a
queue to a ready heap with a sched_time points to the past.
That leads to an "infinity" loop.

pages which represent actual physical memory we must strip off the fake
page in order to allow illegal aliases to be detected. Otherwise we map
uncacheable in the virtual and physical caches and set the side effect bit,
as is required for mapping device memory.
This fixes gstat on sparc64, which wants to mmap kernel memory through a
character device.
that the feature can be enabled during the boot process. Note the
continued limitation that FreeBSD fails so rapidly with this setting
enabled that it's hard to narrow down particular failures for
correction; we really need per-malloc type failure rates.
flag (M_DONTWAIT / M_TRYWAIT) to a malloc(9) blocking disposition flag
(M_NOWAIT, M_WAITOK). The semantic match isn't perfect, but for
scenarios where malloc data is used in the network stack, such as for
MAC labeling or for m_tags, we sometimes need to map from one to the
other to get the right blocking behavior.

in a debugging feature causing M_NOWAIT allocations to fail at
a specified rate. This can be useful for detecting poor
handling of M_NOWAIT: the most frequent problems I've bumped
into are unconditional deference of the pointer even though
it's NULL, and hangs as a result of a lost event where memory
for the event couldn't be allocated. Two sysctls are added:
debug.malloc.failure_rate
How often to generate a failure: if set to 0 (default), this
feature is disabled. Otherwise, the frequency of failures --
I've been using 10 (one in ten mallocs fails), but other
popular settings might be much lower or much higher.
debug.malloc.failure_count
Number of times a coerced malloc failure has occurred as a
result of this feature. Useful for tracking what might have
happened and whether failures are being generated.
Useful possible additions: tying failure rate to malloc type,
printfs indicating the thread that experienced the coerced
failure.

This keeps the logical cpu's halted in the idle loop. By default
the logical cpu's are halted at startup. It is also possible to
halt any cpu in the idle loop now using machdep.hlt_cpus.
Examples of how to use this:
machdep.hlt_cpus=1 halt cpu0
machdep.hlt_cpus=2 halt cpu1
machdep.hlt_cpus=4 halt cpu2
machdep.hlt_cpus=3 halt cpu0,cpu1

opening the POSIX fifo; convert ENXIO error returns to EOPNOTSUPP.
This improves handling of the case where the /var/run/lock fifo exists
but there is no listener: we immediately return EOPNOTSUPP rather
than blocking until a listener turns up. This could occur during a
diskless boot before rpc.lockd is loaded, or if the lock file persists
across a reboot following the disabling of rpc.lockd. This may have
suddenly started to occur due to fifo blocking fixes--previously it
looks like attempts to read on a fifo with no listener would time out
due to insufficient resources.

- Add data structuress for doing 64-bit scatter/gather
- Move busdma tag creations around so that only the parent is
created in aac_pci.c.
- Retrieve the capabilities word from the firmware before setting
up command structures and tags. This allows the driver to decide
whether to do 64-bit commands, and if work-arounds are needed for
systems with >2GB of RAM.
- Only enable the SCSI passthrough if it's enabled in the capabilities
word in the firmware.
This should fix problems with the 2120S and 2200S cards in systems with more

additional flags argument to indicate blocking disposition, and
pass in M_NOWAIT from the IP reassembly code to indicate that
blocking is not OK when labeling a new IP fragment reassembly
queue. This should eliminate some of the WITNESS warnings that
have started popping up since fine-grained IP stack locking
started going in; if memory allocation fails, the creation of
the fragment queue will be aborted.

cleaned up the sysctl variables from the last da0 instance, we can't

- Don't try to fragment the packet if it's smaller than mbuf_frag_size.
- Preserve the size of the mbuf chain which is modified by m_split().
- Check that m_split() didn't return NULL.
- Make it so we don't end up with two M_PKTHDR mbuf in the chain.
- Use m->m_pkthdr.len instead of m->m_len so that we fragment the whole
chain and not just the first mbuf.
- Fix a nearby style bug and rework the logic of the loops so that it's
more clear.
This is still not quite right, because we're clearly abusing m_split() to
do something it was not designed for, but at least it works now. We
should probably move this code into a m_fragment() function when it's
correct.
The former fakes a valid response to an inquiry command. (I am completely
blown away that there are devices which hang upon receiving inquiry). The
latter returns "invalid request" to any inquiry commands with EVPD set.
NO_INQUIRY implies NO_INQUIRY_EVPD but not vice versa. Both quirks have been
tested separately on my USB key although it didn't require either of them.
While I'm here, fix wildcarding so that any/all of vendor, product, revision
