- Consistently use err/errx/warnx throughout, rather than using perror()
and exit().
- Teach the tests how to better manage (and therefore test) privilege:
in particular, how to create sockes with root credentials but exercise
the privileges with non-root credentials, etc.
- Teach the test suite to apply each of the non-IP_HDRINCL options across
each of SOCK_DGRAM, SOCK_STREAM, and SOCK_RAW.
atempts to read and write various IP-level socket options as root and
nobody, making sure the initial values are as expected, that they can
be changed to valid values and take effect, etc. No attempt is made
to check for the correct implementation of side effects (such as
changes in packet headers) as yet.
The IP options section is currently broken but will be fixed shortly.
Not all multicast options are currently tested.
explicit clock reads to set an overall duration to the send, and
blasts rather than trying to clock output. The goal of netblast,
unlike netsend, is to send as many UDP packets as possible; the
cost is that there's no ability to control the rate, and there's
less accuracy in the timing as the interval timer granularity is
relatively low.
1M blocks and optionally write the read data to a file or disk.
If a read error happens, the 1M block gets put on the end of the worklist
and will be retried with 64k blocksize.
If a read error happens again, the 64k block gets put at the end of the
worklist and will be retried with single sector reads.
The program keeps trying until you stop it.
You can refresh a disk:
recoverdisk /dev/ad1 /dev/ad1
or salvage a floppy:
recoverdisk /dev/fd0 myfloppy.flp
and generates the proper (hopefully) update -j lines + commit line to do
the MFC... This has saved me a lot of time doing recent MFC's...
You still should use diff to verify the changes before doing the commit..
- Centralize time comparison.
- Check clock resolution to make sure it has enough granularity to
implement the desired wait interval.
- Keep track of how many times the timing loop has to spin waiting
for the next send time; report statistics.
- Add commented out warning about deadlines being missed when
spinning.
- Improve statistics reporting generally to provide a more useful
summary of sender condition after a run.
elementary exercising of kqueues on datagram and stream sockets. Note
that the datagram write kqueue case is left untested due to potentially
confusing behavior for the developer (me) that might require attention.
