the ipx_net data structure. Doing so introduced a stronger alignment
requirement for the address structure, which in turn propagated into
other dependent data structures, which turns out not to be suported by
the available IPX source code. As a result, a number of user space
applications, such as IPX routing components, failed to operate
correctly.

Suffering: great
a socket from a regular socket to a listening socket able to accept new
connections. As part of this state transition, solisten() calls into the
protocol to update protocol-layer state. There were several bugs in this
implementation that could result in a race wherein a TCP SYN received
in the interval between the protocol state transition and the shortly
following socket layer transition would result in a panic in the TCP code,
as the socket would be in the TCPS_LISTEN state, but the socket would not
have the SO_ACCEPTCONN flag set.
This change does the following:
- Pushes the socket state transition from the socket layer solisten() to
to socket "library" routines called from the protocol. This permits
the socket routines to be called while holding the protocol mutexes,
preventing a race exposing the incomplete socket state transition to TCP
after the TCP state transition has completed. The check for a socket
layer state transition is performed by solisten_proto_check(), and the
actual transition is performed by solisten_proto().
- Holds the socket lock for the duration of the socket state test and set,
and over the protocol layer state transition, which is now possible as
the socket lock is acquired by the protocol layer, rather than vice
versa. This prevents additional state related races in the socket
layer.
This permits the dual transition of socket layer and protocol layer state
to occur while holding locks for both layers, making the two changes
atomic with respect to one another. Similar changes are likely require
elsewhere in the socket/protocol code.

structures in IPX/SPX -- primarily, sequence numbering, PCB lists,
and PCBs for IPX raw sockets, IPX datagram sockets, and IPX/SPX.
As such, remove remove NET_NEEDS_GIANT() for IPX, and remove the
assertion of Giant in the ipxintr() IPX input path.
Note that IPX/SPX is not fully MPSAFE, and that there are some
problems with IPX/SPX locking that will require some further work.
However, it is now safe enough to run in general without the Giant
lock.

portion of IPX/SPX:
- Protect IPX PCB lists with the IPX PCB list mutex, in particular
when calling PCB and PCB list manipulation routines in ipx_pcb.c.
- Protect both IPX PCB state and SPX PCB state using the IPX PCB
mutex.
- Generally annotate locking, as well as adding liberal use of lock
assertions to document locking requirements.
- Where possible, use unlocked reads when reading integer or smaller
sized socket options on SPX sockets.
- De-spl throughout.
Notes:
- spx_input() expects both the list mutex and PCB mutex to be held
on entry, but will release both on return. Because sonewconn() is
called from spx_input(), it may actually drop one PCB lock and
acquire another during generation of a new connection, meaning the
caller is not in a position to unlock the PCB mutex.

- spx_close(), spx_disconnect(), spx_drop(), and spx_usrclosed() all
always free's the spxpcb invalidating the argument, so a return
value is not required to indicate if it has.
- Annotate that the cb arguments to each of these functions is
invalidated via a comment.
- When tearing down a pcb due to sonewconn() having failed, mark the
cb as NULL; later, when deciding whether to store trace information
due to SO_DEBUG, check that cb is not NULL before dereferencing or
a NULL pointer dereference may occur.

When processing socket options against IPX PCBs, generally protect

(sorele()/sotryfree()):
- This permits the caller to acquire the accept mutex before the socket
mutex, avoiding sofree() having to drop the socket mutex and re-order,
which could lead to races permitting more than one thread to enter
sofree() after a socket is ready to be free'd.
- This also covers clearing of the so_pcb weak socket reference from
the protocol to the socket, preventing races in clearing and
evaluation of the reference such that sofree() might be called more
than once on the same socket.
This appears to close a race I was able to easily trigger by repeatedly
opening and resetting TCP connections to a host, in which the
tcp_close() code called as a result of the RST raced with the close()
of the accepted socket in the user process resulting in simultaneous
attempts to de-allocate the same socket. The new locking increases
the overhead for operations that may potentially free the socket, so we
will want to revise the synchronization strategy here as we normalize
the reference counting model for sockets. The use of the accept mutex
in freeing of sockets that are not listen sockets is primarily
motivated by the potential need to remove the socket from the
incomplete connection queue on its parent (listen) socket, so cleaning
up the reference model here may allow us to substantially weaken the
synchronization requirements.
