The AR5212 HAL didn't check this field; timers are enabled a different
way.
The AR5416 HAL however did, and since this field was uninitialised, it had
whatever was on the stack at the time. This lead to "unpredictable"
behaviour.
This allows TDMA to work on the AR5416 and later chipsets.

hardware most people use for hostap (ie, AR5212 series stuff) sets the
sequence numbers up in hardware. Later hardware (AR5416, etc) which
can do 11n and aggregation require sequence numbers to be generated in

mld_set_version() is called only from mld_v1_input_query() and
mld_v2_input_query() both holding the if_addr_mtx lock, and then calling
into mld_v2_cancel_link_timers() acquires it the second time, which results
in mtx recursion. To avoid that, delay if_addr_mtx acquisition until after
mld_set_version() is called; while here, further reduce locking scope
to protect only the needed pieces: if_multiaddrs, in6m_lookup_locked().

programming secret. The PHY would go into sleep state when it
detects no established link and it will re-establish link when the
cable is plugged in. Previously it failed to re-establish link
when the cable is plugged in such that it required to manually down
and up the interface again to make it work. This came from
incorrectly programmed hibernation parameters. According to
Atheros, each PHY chip requires different configuration for
hibernation and different vendor has different settings for the
same chip.
Disabling hibernation may consume more power but establishing link
looks more important than saving power.
Special thanks to Atheros for giving me instructions that disable
hibernation.

that allow a module to use an order other than the default of
SI_ORDER_MIDDLE when registering a driver. This can be useful for drivers
in a kld that contain multiple new-bus drivers as part of one logical device
driver. A typical case would be to use SI_ORDER_LAST for the "main" driver
to ensure that any other "helper" drivers are registered and available
before the "main" driver attempts to attach.

Switching the VM back to single CPU mode also works, which is why I have

effectively negative. Often seen as upstream fastcgi connection timeouts
in nginx when using sendfile over unix domain sockets for communication.
Sendfile(2) may send more bytes then currently allowed by the
hiwatermark of the socket, e.g. because the so_snd sockbuf lock is
dropped after sbspace() call in the kern_sendfile() loop. In this case,
recalculated hiwatermark will overflow. Since lowatermark is renewed
as half of the hiwatermark by sendfile code, and both are unsigned,
the send buffer never reaches the free space requested by lowatermark,
causing indefinite wait in sendfile.

isolated but also powered down after a reset and while they just work fine
[sic] when both is the case they don't if they are only deisolate but still
powered down. So in order to put PHYs in an overall normal operation mode
for the common case, ensure in mii_phy_reset() that they are not powered
down after a reset. Unfortunately, this only helps in case of BCM5421,
while BCM5709S apparently only work when they remain isolated and powered
down after a reset. So don't call mii_phy_reset() in brgphy_reset() and
implement the reset locally leaving the problematic bits alone. Effectively
this bypasses r221812 for brgphy(4).

A "process descriptor" file descriptor is used to manage processes
without using the PID namespace. This is required for Capsicum's
Capability Mode, where the PID namespace is unavailable.
New system calls pdfork(2) and pdkill(2) offer the functional equivalents
of fork(2) and kill(2). pdgetpid(2) allows querying the PID of the remote
process for debugging purposes. The currently-unimplemented pdwait(2) will,
in the future, allow querying rusage/exit status. In the interim, poll(2)
may be used to check (and wait for) process termination.
When a process is referenced by a process descriptor, it does not issue
SIGCHLD to the parent, making it suitable for use in libraries---a common
scenario when using library compartmentalisation from within large
applications (such as web browsers). Some observers may note a similarity
to Mach task ports; process descriptors provide a subset of this behaviour,
but in a UNIX style.
This feature is enabled by "options PROCDESC", but as with several other
Capsicum kernel features, is not enabled by default in GENERIC 9.0.
