when they're being called from the TX completion handler.
Going (back) through the taskqueue is just adding extra locking and
latency to packet operations. This improves performance a little bit
on most NICs.
It still hasn't restored the original performance of the AR5416 NIC
but the AR9160, AR9280 and later NICs behave very well with this.
Tested:
* AR5416 STA (still tops out at ~ 70mbit TCP, rather than 150mbit TCP..)
* AR9160 hostap (good for both TX and RX)
* AR9280 hostap (good for both TX and RX)
so that simultaneous access cannot happen. Protect scratch area using
the enumeration lock. Also reduce stack usage in usbd_transfer_setup()
by moving some big stack members to the scratch area. This saves around
200 bytes of stack.

freed memory cannot be used during detach.
- Remove all panic() calls from the urtw driver because
panic() is not appropriate here.
- Remove redundant checks for device detached in
device detach callbacks.
- Use DEVMETHOD_END to mark end of device methods.

function, implementing the sysctl vfs.ffs.set_bufoutput (not used in
the tree yet).
- The current directory vnode dereference is unsafe since fd_cdir
could be changed and unreferenced, lock the filedesc around and vref
the fd_cdir.
- The VTOI() conversion of the fd_cdir is unsafe without first
checking that the vnode is indeed from an FFS mount, otherwise
the code dereferences a random memory.
- The cdir could be reclaimed from under us, lock it around the
checks.
- The type of the fp vnode might be not a disk, or it might have
changed while the thread was in flight, check the type.

tmpfs_mapped{read, write}() functions:
- tmpfs_mapped{read, write}() are only called within VOP_{READ, WRITE}(),
which check before-hand to work only on valid VREG vnodes. Also the
vnode is locked for the duration of the work, making vnode reclaiming
impossible, during the operation. Hence, vobj can never be NULL.
- Currently check on resident pages and cached pages without vm object
lock held is racy and can do even more harm than good, as a page could
be transitioning between these 2 pools and then be skipped entirely.
Skip the checks as lookups on empty splay trees are very cheap.

* Illumos zfs issue #3035 [1] LZ4 compression support in ZFS.
LZ4 is a new high-speed BSD-licensed compression algorithm created
by Yann Collet that delivers very high compression and decompression
performance compared to lzjb (>50% faster on compression, >80% faster
on decompression and around 3x faster on compression of incompressible
data), while giving better compression ratio [1].
This version of LZ4 corresponds to upstream's [2] revision 85.
Please note that for obvious reasons this is not backward read
compatible. This means once a pool have LZ4 compressed data, these
data can no longer be read by older ZFS implementations.
Local changes:
- On-stack hash table disabled and using kernel slab allocator
instead, at this time. This requires larger kernel thread stack
for zio workers. This may change in the future should we adjusted
the zio workers' thread stack size.
- likely and unlikely will be undefined if they are already defined,
this is required for i386 XEN build.
- Removed De Bruijn sequence based __builtin_ctz family of builtins
in favor of the latter. Both GCC and clang supports these builtins.
- Changed the way the LZ4 code detects endianness.
- Manual pages modifications to mention the feature based on Illumos
counterpart.
- Boot loader changes to make it support LZ4 decompression.

e2fs_maxcontig was modelled after UFS when bringing the
"Orlov allocator" to ext2. On UFS fs_maxcontig is kept in the
superblock and is used by userland tools (fsck and growfs),
In ext2 this information is volatile so it is not available
for userland tools, so in this case it doesn't have sense
to carry it in the in-memory superblock.
Also remove a pointless check for MAX(1, x) > 0.

* Add the superg.h header to allow ieee80211_check_ff() to work
* Since the assert stuff creates assertions based on line numbers and there
was a conflict, just nudge things down a bit.
crappy 802.11n performance, sigh.)
With the AR5416, aggregates need to be limited to 8KiB if RTS/CTS is
enabled. However, larger aggregates were going out with RTSCTS enabled.
The following was going on:
* The first buffer in the list would have RTS/CTS enabled in
bf->bf_state.txflags;
* The aggregate would be formed;
* The "copy over the txflags from the first buffer" logic that I added
blanked the RTS/CTS TX flags fields, and then copied the bf_first
RTS/CTS flags over;
* .. but that'd cause bf_first to be blanked out! And thus the flag
was cleared;
* So the rest of the aggregate formation would run with those flags
cleared, and thus > 8KiB aggregates were formed.
The driver is now (again) correctly limiting aggregate formation for
the AR5416 but there are still other pending issues to resolve.
Tested:
* AR5416, STA mode
A special gfs vnode corresponds to that object.
A regular zfs vnode must not be returned.
This should be upstreamed.

Older entries should be 'before' newer entries in the new buffer too
and there should be no zero-filled gap between them.

* Added hwmp_update_transmitter function that checks if the metric
to the transmitter have improved. If old FI is invalid or metric
is larger the FI to the transmitter is updated occurdingly.
This is a recommendation from the 802.11 2012 standard, table 13-9;
Approved by: adrian (mentor)
* When calling ieee80211_mesh_rt_flush_peer, the rt->rt_dest argument
should not be passed because it can get freed before invalidating
the other routes that depends on it to compare with next_hop.
Use PERR_DADDR(i) instead;
Approved by: adrian (mentor)
* The standard is unclear about what should happen in case a mesh STA (not
marked as a mesh gate) recevies a PREQ for a destination that is marked
as proxy. Solution for now is not to do intermediate reply at all, and
let the PREQ reach the mesh gate;
Approved by: adrian (mentor)
* Original PREP frame is transmitted only by the target mesh STA or the
mesh STA that is the proxy target;
* Fixed so that metric value is not over written incorrectly in
hwmp_recv_preq for when replying back with a PREP;
Approved by: adrian (mentor)
This is a code re-write. ic->raw_xmit need a pointer to ieee80211_node
for the destination node (da). I have reorganized the code so that
a pointer to the da node is searched for in the end & in one place.
* Make mesh_find_txnode public to be used by HWMP, renamed to
ieee80211_mesh_finx_txnode;
* changed the argument from ieee80211_node to ieee80211vap for all
hwmp_send_* functions;
* removed the 'sa' argument from hwmp_send_* functions as all HWMP frames
have the source address equal to vap->iv_myaddr;
* Modified hwmp_send_action so that if da is MULTCAST ni=vap->iv_bss
otherwise we called ieee80211_mesh_find_txnode. Also no need to hold
a reference in this functions if da is not MULTICAST as by finding the
node it became referenced in ieee80211_find_txnode;
Approved by: adrian (mentor)
* Modified mesh_find_txnode to be able to handle proxy marked entries by
recursively calling itself to find the txnode towards the active mesh gate;
* Mesh Gate: Added a new function that transmits data frames
similar to ieee80211_start;
* Modified ieee80211_mesh_forward_to_gates so that:
+ Frames are duplicated and sent to each valid Mesh Gate;
+ Route is marked invalid before return of function, this is
because we dont know yet which Mesh Gate is we will use;
Approved by: adrian (mentor)
* Send frames that have no path to a known valid Mesh Gate;
* Added the function ieee80211_mesh_forward_to_gates that sends the frame
to the first found Mesh Gate in the forwarding information;
* If we try to discover again while we are discovering queue frame,
the discovery callout will send the frames either to mesh gates
or discards them silently;
* Queue frame also if we try to discover to frequently;
Approved by: adrian (mentor)
* Add function ieee80211_mesh_mark_gate in ieee80211_mesh.h;
* When received a proactive PREQ or RANN with corresponding mesh gate
flag set, create a new entry in the known mesh gate list;
