inbound data waiting on a filedescriptor, such as a pipe or a socket,
for instance by using select(2), poll(2), kqueue(2), ioctl(FIONREAD)
etc.
But we have no way of finding out if written data have yet to be
disposed of, for instance, transmitted (and ack'ed!) to some remote
host, or read by the applicantion at the far end of the pipe.
The closest we get, is calling shutdown(2) on a TCP socket in
non-blocking mode, but this has the undesirable sideeffect of
preventing future communication.
Add a complement to FIONREAD, called FIONWRITE, which returns the
number of bytes not yet properly disposed of. Implement it for
all sockets.
Background:
A HTTP server will want to time out connections, if no new request
arrives within a certain period after the last transmitted response
has actually been sent (and ack'ed).
For a busy HTTP server, this timeout can be subsecond duration.
In order to signal to a load-balancer that the connection is truly
dead, TCP_RST will be the preferred method, as this avoids the need
for a RTT delay for FIN handshaking, with a client which, surprisingly
often, no longer at the remote IP number.
If a slow, distant client is being served a response which is big
enough to fill the window, but small enough to fit in the socket
buffer, the write(2) call will return immediately.
If the session timeout is armed at that time, all bytes in the
response may not have been transmitted by the time it fires.
FIONWRITE allows the timeout to check that no data is outstanding
on the connection, before it TCP_RST's it.

in the case of a file system with a block size that is less than the page
size, cluster_rbuild() looks at too many of the page's valid bits.
Consequently, it may terminate prematurely, resulting in poor performance.

In MFC, we should leave the existing AUDIT_ARG() macros as they may be

Defer releasing the in6_ifaddr's in6_ifaddrhead reference until the

IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the

For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they

vfs.ufs.dirhash_maxmem below the current amount of memory used by dirhash. When
ufsdirhash_build() is called with the memory in use greater than dirhash_maxmem,
it attempts to free up memory by calling ufsdirhash_recycle(). If successful in
freeing enough memory, ufsdirhash_recycle() leaves the dirhash list locked. But
at this point in ufsdirhash_build(), the list is not explicitly unlocked after
the call(s) to ufsdirhash_recycle(). When we next attempt to lock the dirhash
list, we will get a "panic: _mtx_lock_sleep: recursed on non-recursive mutex
dirhash list".

Specifically, if a non-root user attempts to bind an interrupt the request

This is mostly important for the multiple MSI message case where the
IDT vectors for the entire group need to be allocated together. This
also restores the assumptions made by the PCI bus code that it could
invoke PCIB_MAP_MSI() once MSI vectors were allocated.
- To avoid whiplash with CPU assignments, change the way that CPUs are
assigned to interrupt sources on activation. Instead of assigning the
CPU via pic_assign_cpu() before calling enable_intr(), allow the
different interrupt source drivers to ask the MD interrupt code which
CPU to use when they allocate an IDT vector. I/O APIC interrupt pins
do this in their pic_enable_intr() routines giving the same behavior as
before. MSI sources do it when the IDT vectors are allocated during
msi_alloc() and msix_alloc().
- Change the intr_table_lock from an sx lock to a mutex.
