mntvnode_mtx.
- Use a local variable to store the results of the test to see if the
next vnode on the mount list has changed. This is so that we no longer
acess the vnode after we vput() it.
stack trace supplied by phk, I now understand what's going on here. The
check for VI_XLOCK stops us from calling vinvalbuf once the vnode has been
partially torn down in vclean(). It is not clear that this would cause
a problem. Document this in nfs_bio.c, which is where the other two
filesystems copied this code from.
I do not yet understand why, but apm *depended* on the fact that the old
PSE code caused the first 1MB of ram to be mapped read/write because it
was in the same 4MB page as the kernel text+data+bss blob.
If anybody ever tried DISABLE_PSE before, apm would not work.
If your cpu did not have PSE, apm would not work there either (eg: 486).
This bug has been around for a Very Long Time.
The Pentium-4-fix commits did not emulate this unintended side effect of
the PSE post-early-boot fixup, and thus apm blew up. I've added a hack to
emulate the bug until either apm is fixed or we set fire to our bridges.
This is bad though because it gives kernel mode code the opportunity
to accidently write to the first few megs of the general page pool
which is remapped at KERNBASE. It needs to be fixed properly.
that covers updates to the contents. Note this is separate from holding
a reference and/or locking the routing table itself.
Other/related changes:
o rtredirect loses the final parameter by which an rtentry reference
may be returned; this was never used and added unwarranted complexity
for locking.
o minor style cleanups to routing code (e.g. ansi-fy function decls)
o remove the logic to bump the refcnt on the parent of cloned routes,
we assume the parent will remain as long as the clone; doing this avoids
a circularity in locking during delete
o convert some timeouts to MPSAFE callouts
Notes:
1. rt_mtx in struct rtentry is guarded by #ifdef _KERNEL as user-level
applications cannot/do-no know about mutex's. Doing this requires
that the mutex be the last element in the structure. A better solution
is to introduce an externalized version of struct rtentry but this is
a major task because of the intertwining of rtentry and other data
structures that are visible to user applications.
2. There are known LOR's that are expected to go away with forthcoming
work to eliminate many held references. If not these will be resolved
prior to release.
3. ATM changes are untested.

any queued packets for the isr, process those packets before the newly
submitted packet, maintaining ordering of all packets being delivered
to the netisr. Remove the bypass counter since we don't bypass anymore.
Leave the comment about possible problems and options since later
performance optimization may change the strategy for addressing ordering
problems here.
Specifically, this maintains the strong isr ordering guarantee; additional
parallelism and lower latency may be possible by moving to weaker
guarantees (per-interface, for example). We will probably at some point
also want to remove the one instance netisr dispatch limit currently
enforced by a mutex, but it's not clear that's 100% safe yet, even in
the netperf branch.

frame marker) and the syscall stub frame info in the trap frame.
Previously we stored the stub frame info in (rp,pfs) and the
caller frame info in (iip,cfm). This ends up being suboptimal
for the following reasons:
1. When we create a new context, such as for an execve(2), we had
to set the (rp,pfs) pair for the entry point when using the
syscall path out of the kernel but we need to set the (iip,cfm)
pair when we take the interrupt way out. This is mostly just
an inconsistency from the kernel's point of view, but an ugly
irregularity from gdb(1)'s point of view.
2. The getcontext(2) and setcontext(2) syscalls had to swap the
(rp,pfs) and (iip,cfm) pairs to make the context compatible
with one created purely in userland.
Swapping the (rp,pfs) and (iip,cfm) pairs is visible to signal
handlers that actually peek at the mcontext_t and to gdb(1).
Since this change is made for gdb(1) and we don't care about
signal handlers that peek at the mcontext_t because we're still
a tier 2 platform, this ABI breakage is academic at this moment
in time.
Note that there was no real reason to save the caller frame info
in (iip,cfm) and the stub frame info in (rp,pfs).
