and geom_uncompress(4):
1. mkuzip(8):
- Proper support for eliminating all-zero blocks when compressing an
image. This feature is already supported by the geom_uzip(4) module
and CLOOP format in general, so it's just a matter of making mkuzip(8)
match. It should be noted, however that this feature while it sounds
great, results in very slight improvement in the overall compression
ratio, since compressing default 16k all-zero block produces only 39
bytes compressed output block, which is 99.8% compression ratio. With
typical average compression ratio of amd64 binaries and data being
around 60-70% the difference between 99.8% and 100.0% is not that
great further diluted by the ratio of number of zero blocks in the
uncompressed image to the overall number of blocks being less than
0.5 (typically). However, this may be important from performance
standpoint, so that kernel are not spinning its wheels decompressing
those empty blocks every time this zero region is read. It could also
be important when you create huge image mostly filled with zero
blocks for testing purposes.
- New feature allowing to de-duplicate output image. It turns out that
if you twist CLOOP format a bit you can do that as well. And unlike
zero-blocks elimination, this gives a noticeable improvement in the
overall compression ratio, reducing output image by something like
3-4% on my test UFS2 3GB image consisting of full FreeBSD base system
plus some of the packages (openjdk, apache etc), about 2.3GB worth of
file data (800+MB compressed). The only caveat is that images created
with this feature "on" would not work on older versions of FeeBSDxi
kernel, hence it's turned off by default.
- provide options to control both features and document them in manual
page.
- merge in all relevant LZMA compression support from the mkulzma(8),
add new option to select between both.
- switch license from ad-hoc beerware into standard 2-clause BSD.
2. geom_uzip(4):
- implement support for de-duplicated images;
- optimize some code paths to handle "all-zero" blocks without reading
any compressed data;
- beef up manual page to explain that geom_uzip(4) is not limited only
to md(4) images. The compressed data can be written to the block
device and accessed directly via magic of GEOM(4) and devfs(4),
including to mount root fs from a compressed drive.
- convert debug log code from being compiled in conditionally into
being present all the time and provide two sysctls to turn it on or
off. Due to intended use of the module, it can be used in
environments where there may not be a luxury to put new kernel with
debug code enabled. Having those options handy allows debug issues
without as much problem by just having access to serial console or
network shell access to a box/appliance. The resulting additional
CPU cycles are just few int comparisons and branches, and those are
minuscule when compared to data decompression which is the main
feature of the module.
- hopefully improve robustness and resiliency of the geom_uzip(4) by
performing some of the data validation / range checking on the TOC
entries and rejecting to attach to an image if those checks fail.
- merge in all relevant LZMA decompression support from the
geom_uncompress(4), enable automatically when appropriate format is
indicated in the header.
- move compilation work into its own worker thread so that it does not
clog g_up. This allows multiple instances work in parallel utilizing
smp cores.
- document new knobs in the manual page.

The licence grant says something exactly the same as the atheros patent
grant, which is "As long as you use this firmware on our chips, everything
is totally okay." Now, I'm pretty sure if that we /have/ to have this,
we're going to have to have it for every other firmware for every other
device in the tree.
So, I'll flip this off in -HEAD for now so people stop asking about
why rsu/urtwn don't work out of the box, and I'll kick off a larger
discussion about this in the new year.
cards supported by cxgbe(4).
On the host side this driver interfaces with the storage stack via the
ICL (iSCSI Common Layer) in the kernel. On the wire the traffic is
standard iSCSI (SCSI over TCP as per RFC 3720/7143 etc.) that
interoperates with all other standards compliant implementations. The
driver is layered on top of the TOE driver (t4_tom) and promotes
connections being handled by t4_tom to iSCSI ULP (Upper Layer Protocol)
mode. Hardware assistance in this mode includes:
- Full TCP processing.
- iSCSI PDU identification and recovery within the TCP stream.
- Header and/or data digest insertion (tx) and verification (rx).
- Zero copy (both tx and rx).

MCIA register was done in batches of 48 bytes. The third reading
would then by-pass the 127th byte, which means that part of the low

created a bug:

Use hhook(9) framework to achieve ability of loading and unloading

to call helper hooks implemented in if_enc(4).
This should be a big no-op pass; and reduces the size of if_ath.c.
