The wlanwds code was just creating a clone VAP without specifying the MAC
address to use for said clone VAP. This meant that if an interface
was cloned from an AP interface that wasn't the first created VAP
(which shares the same MAC as the parent physical interface by default)
then the cloned interface would have the wrong MAC and traffic wouldn't work.
Besides chip bugs (ha!) this isn't a requirement.
So, teach wlanwds to:
* look up the link layer address for a given interface (which really should
be a library interface, and will likely quickly become one);
* use this when creating a cloned interface for a DWDS peer;
* (net80211 already has the infrastructure to do this, it just needed to be
used);
* add some extra logging to see what MAC addresses, parent interfaces, etc
are being created.
Whilst here, add a reminder that I should extend this to include monitoring
a specific VAP for DWDS updates rather than just the parent interface.
This is the first step in allowing for multiple DWDS hops, which is a
pre-requisite for adrian's house having wifi in the single upstairs room.
Tested:
* AR9380, DWDS AP + AP mode - with DWDS AP being the second VAP created
with a different MAC address;
* AR9331 (Carambola2), AP + DWDS STA;
* passing traffic
TODO:
* fix 802.11s so this DWDS stuff is no longer required!
This change adds two new tunables, allowing to control serialization for
read and write NFS requests separately. It does not change the default
behavior since there are too many factors to consider, but gives additional
space for further experiments and tuning.
The main motivation for this change is very low write speed in case of ZFS
with sync=always or when NFS clients requests sychronous operation, when
every separate request has to be written/flushed to ZIL, and requests are
processed one at a time. Setting vfs.nfsd.fha.write=0 in that case allows
to increase ZIL throughput by several times by coalescing writes and cache
flushes. There is a worry that doing it may increase data fragmentation
on disks, but I suppose it should not happen for pool with SLOG.

The intent is to skip expensive opaque sysctls like tcp_pcblist unless
they are explicitly requested. Sysctl nodes like this don't show up in
sysctl -a, but they do generate output that winds up being dropped,
unless the user specifically requested binary/hex output or opaques.
This reduces the runtime of sysctl in many circumstances on a loaded
system. It also reduces the likelihood that simply gathering
diagnostics on a sick machine (stuck lock, etc) via sysctl -a might
push it over the edge into a total lockup.

from enc_hhook().
This should solve the problem when pf is used with if_enc(4) interface,
and outbound packet with existing PCB checked by pf, and this leads to
deadlock due to pf does its own PCB lookup and tries to take rlock when
wlock is already held.
Now we pass PCB pointer if it is known to the pfil hook, this helps to
avoid extra PCB lookup and thus rlock acquiring is not needed.
For inbound packets it is safe to pass NULL, because we do not held any
PCB locks yet.

How network VF works with hn(4) on Hyper-V in non-transparent mode:
- Each network VF has a cooresponding hn(4).
- The network VF and the it's cooresponding hn(4) have the same hardware
address.
- Once the network VF is up, e.g. ifconfig VF up:
o All of the transmission should go through the network VF.
o Most of the reception goes through the network VF.
o Small amount of reception may go through the cooresponding hn(4).
This reception will happen, even if the the cooresponding hn(4) is
down. The cooresponding hn(4) will change the reception interface
to the network VF, so that network layer and application layer will
be tricked into thinking that these packets were received by the
network VF.
o The cooresponding hn(4) pretends the physical link is down.
- Once the network VF is down or detached:
o All of the transmission should go through the cooresponding hn(4).
o All of the reception goes through the cooresponding hn(4).
o The cooresponding hn(4) fallbacks to the original physical link
detection logic.
All these features are mainly used to help live migration, during which
the network VF will be detached, while the network communication to the
VM must not be cut off. In order to reach this level of live migration
transparency, we use failover mode lagg(4) with the network VF and the
cooresponding hn(4) attached to it.
To ease user configuration for both network VF and non-network VF, the
lagg(4) will be created by the following rules, and the configuration
of the cooresponding hn(4) will be applied to the lagg(4) automatically.

request that their clock_settime() methods be called at a given offset
from top-of-second. This adds a timeout_task to the rtc_instance so that
each clock can be separately added to taskqueue_thread with the scheduling
it prefers, instead of looping through all the clocks at once with a
single task on taskqueue_thread. If a driver doesn't call clock_schedule()
the default is the old behavior: clock_settime() is queued immediately.
The motivation behind this is that I was on the path of adding identical
code to a third RTC driver to figure out a delta to top-of-second and
sleep for that amount of time because writing the the RTC registers resets
the hardware's concept of top-of-second. (Sometimes it's not top-of-second,
some RTC clocks tick over a half second after you set their time registers.)
Worst-case would be to sleep for almost a full second, which is a rude thing
to do on a shared task queue thread.
over the scheduling precision than 'ticks' can offer, and because sometimes
you're already working with sbintime_t units and it's dumb to convert them
to ticks just so they can get converted back to sbintime_t under the hood.
- Remove 'if_rtwn_load="YES"' line from loader.conf; the module was
renamed in r319733 + it will be loaded automatically as a dependency.
- Move new sentence to new line.
- Add short description for dev.rtwn.%d.rx_buf_size tunable.
Since device can pass multiple frames in a single payload temporary
Rx buffer was big enough to hold all of them; now the driver can
concatenate a single frame from multiple payloads.
The Rx buffer size may be configured via tunable (dev.rtwn.%d.rx_buf_size).

It's not as easy as adding/subtracting 12, because the clock doesn't roll
over 11->0, it rolls over 12->1; 0 isn't a valid hour in AM/PM mode.
