so that future allocations start with most recently allocated block
rather than the beginning of the filesystem.
- Fix ext2_alloccg() to properly scan for 8 block chunks that are not
aligned on 8-bit boundaries. Previously this was causing new blocks
to be allocated in a highly fragmented fashion (block 0 of a file at
lbn N, block 1 at lbn N + 8, block 2 at lbn N + 16, etc.).
- Cosmetic tweaks to the currently-disabled fancy realloc sysctls.

The clock_t type in OpenSolaris is long (int64_t on amd64).
On FreeBSD clock_t is int32_t. The clock_t type is used in several places
in the ZFS code to store system uptime in milliseconds ("seconds * hz").
With hz=1000 we have a 32-bit integer overflow in 24 days, 20 hours,
31 minutes and 23.648 seconds. This has a user reported negative impact
on l2arc_feed_thread() and may cause unexpected results from other functions
using clock_t.

collect phases. The unp_discard() function executes
unp_externalize_fp(), which might make the socket eligible for gc-ing,
and then, later, taskqueue will close the socket. Since unp_gc()
dropped the list lock to do the malloc, close might happen after the
mark step but before the collection step, causing collection to not
find the socket and miss one array element.
I believe that the race was there before r216158, but the stated
revision made the window much wider by postponing the close to
taskqueue sometimes.
Only process as much array elements as we find the sockets during
second phase of gc [1]. Take linkage lock and recheck the eligibility
of the socket for gc, as well as call fhold() under the linkage lock.

top 8 bits of the 32 bit signal bit field space for internal use. These private
signals should not be leaked outside of a module.
Given that many algorithm modules use the NewReno hook functions to simplify
their implementation, the obvious place such a leak would show up is in the
NewReno cong_signal hook function.
- Show the full number of significant bits in the signal type definitions in
<netinet/cc.h>.
- Add a bitmask to simplify figuring out if a given signal is in the private or
public bit range.
- Add a sanity check in newreno_cong_signal() to ensure private signals are not
being leaked into the hook function.

The AR5416 and later TX descriptors have new fields for supporting
11n bits (eg 20/40mhz mode, short/long GI) and enabling/disabling
RTS/CTS protection per rate.
These functions will be responsible for initialising the TX descriptors
for the AR5416 and later chips for both HT and legacy frames.
Beacon frames will remain using the non-11n TX descriptor setup for now;
Linux ath9k does much the same.
Note that these functions aren't yet used anywhere; a few more framework
changes are needed before all of the right rate information is available
for TX.
algorithm described in the paper "Improved coexistence and loss tolerance for
delay based TCP congestion control" by Hayes and Armitage. It is implemented as
a kernel module compatible with the recently committed modular congestion
control framework.
CHD enhances the approach taken by the Hamilton-Delay (HD) algorithm to provide
tolerance to non-congestion related packet loss and improvements to coexistence
with loss-based congestion control algorithms. A key idea in improving
coexistence with loss-based congestion control algorithms is the use of a shadow
window, which attempts to track how NewReno's congestion window (cwnd) would
evolve. At the next packet loss congestion event, CHD uses the shadow window to
correct cwnd in a way that reduces the amount of unfairness CHD experiences when
competing with loss-based algorithms.

algorithm based on the paper "A strategy for fair coexistence of loss and
delay-based congestion control algorithms" by Budzisz, Stanojevic, Shorten and
Baker. It is implemented as a kernel module compatible with the recently
committed modular congestion control framework.
HD uses a probabilistic approach to reacting to delay-based congestion. The
probability of reducing cwnd is zero when the queuing delay is very small,
increasing to a maximum at a set threshold, then back down to zero again when
the queuing delay is high. Normal operation keeps the queuing delay below the
set threshold. However, since loss-based congestion control algorithms push the
queuing delay high when probing for bandwidth, having the probability of
reducing cwnd drop back to zero for high delays allows HD to compete with
loss-based algorithms.

internet" by Brakmo and Peterson. It is implemented as a kernel module
compatible with the recently committed modular congestion control framework.
VEGAS uses network delay as a congestion indicator and unlike regular loss-based
algorithms, attempts to keep the network operating with stable queuing delays
and no congestion losses. By keeping network buffers used along the path within
a set range, queuing delays are kept low while maintaining high throughput.

After inspecting the ath9k source, it seems the AR5416 and later MACs
don't take an explicit RTS/CTS duration. A per-scenario (ie, what multi-
rate retry became) rts/cts control flag and packet duration is provided;
the hardware then apparently fills in whatever details are required.
The per-rate sp/lpack duration calculation just isn't used anywhere
in the ath9k TX packet length calculations.
The burst duration register controls something different; it seems to
be involved with RTS/CTS protection of 11n aggregate frames and is set
via a call to ar5416Set11nBurstDuration().
I've done some light testing with rts/cts protected frames and nothing
seems to break; but this may break said RTS/CTS and CTS-to-self protection.

3) Increment the count going out even if the TSN in lower in the pending
