enqueueing the frames when it fails. This way there is some latency
removed from the transmitting path.
- If IFF_DRV_OACTIVE is set (and also if IFF_DRV_RUNNING is not) just
enqueue the desired frames and return successful transmit. This way we
avoid to return errors on transmit side and resulting in
possible out-of-order frames. Please note that IFF_DRV_OACTIVE is set
everytime we get the threshold ring hit, so this can be happening quite
often.

from the FreeBSD network code. The flag is still kept around in the
"sys/mbuf.h" header file, but does no longer have any users. Instead
the "m_pkthdr.rsstype" field in the mbuf structure is now used to
decide the meaning of the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. To modify the
"m_pkthdr.rsstype" field please use the existing "M_HASHTYPE_XXX"
macros as defined in the "sys/mbuf.h" header file.
This patch introduces new behaviour in the transmit direction.
Previously network drivers checked if "M_FLOWID" was set in "m_flags"
before using the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. This check has now now been
replaced by checking if "M_HASHTYPE_GET(m)" is different from
"M_HASHTYPE_NONE". In the future more hashtypes will be added, for
example hashtypes for hardware dedicated flows.
"M_HASHTYPE_OPAQUE" indicates that the "m_pkthdr.flowid" value is
valid and has no particular type. This change removes the need for an
"if" statement in TCP transmit code checking for the presence of a
valid flowid value. The "if" statement mentioned above is now a direct
variable assignment which is then later checked by the respective
network drivers like before.
Additional notes:
- The SCTP code changes will be committed as a separate patch.
- Removal of the "M_FLOWID" flag will also be done separately.
- The FreeBSD version has been bumped.

- Wrong integer type was specified.
- Wrong or missing "access" specifier. The "access" specifier
sometimes included the SYSCTL type, which it should not, except for
procedural SYSCTL nodes.
- Logical OR where binary OR was expected.
- Properly assert the "access" argument passed to all SYSCTL macros,
using the CTASSERT macro. This applies to both static- and dynamically
created SYSCTLs.
- Properly assert the the data type for both static and dynamic
SYSCTLs. In the case of static SYSCTLs we only assert that the data
pointed to by the SYSCTL data pointer has the correct size, hence
there is no easy way to assert types in the C language outside a
C-function.
- Rewrote some code which doesn't pass a constant "access" specifier
when creating dynamic SYSCTL nodes, which is now a requirement.
- Updated "EXAMPLES" section in SYSCTL manual page.

These changes prevent sysctl(8) from returning proper output,

1) no output from sysctl(8)
2) erroneously returning ENOMEM with tools like truss(1)

there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

interface, in the r241616 a crutch was provided. It didn't work well, and
finally we decided that it is time to break ABI and simply make if_baudrate
a 64-bit value. Meanwhile, the entire struct if_data was reviewed.
o Remove the if_baudrate_pf crutch.
o Make all fields of struct if_data fixed machine independent size. The
notion of data (packet counters, etc) are by no means MD. And it is a
bug that on amd64 we've got a 64-bit counters, while on i386 32-bit,
which at modern speeds overflow within a second.
This also removes quite a lot of COMPAT_FREEBSD32 code.
o Give 16 bit for the ifi_datalen field. This field was provided to
make future changes to if_data less ABI breaking. Unfortunately the
8 bit size of it had effectively limited sizeof if_data to 256 bytes.
o Give 32 bits to ifi_mtu and ifi_metric.
o Give 64 bits to the rest of fields, since they are counters.
