initial work, and every one else who has tested things for me.
this is largely my fault at this point :-)
the main changes are something like:
- usbd_bus_methods{} gains a get_lock() to enable the
host controller to provide a lock for the USB code.
if the lock isn't provided, old-style protection is
(partially) applied.
- ehci/ohci/uhci have been converted to the new
interfaces, including mutex/cv/etc conversion.
- usbdivar.h contains a discussion about locking and
what locks are held for which method calls. more
to come for usbdi(9) here.
- audio drivers (uaudio, umidi, auvitek) have been
properly SMPified now that USB is ready.
- scsi drivers have been modified to take the kernel
lock explicitly before calling into scsi code.
- usb pipes are associated with a lock, that is the
same as the controller lock. (this could be split
up further in the future.)
- several usbfoo_locked() or usbfoo_unlocked()
functions have been added to the usbdi(9) to
enable functionality with or without the USB
lock (per controller) already being held.
the TODO.usbmp file has specific details on what is left to
do, including what device-specific changes should be done now
that the whole framework is ready.
- The "change header" milter request could replace the wrong header. A long
header name could match a shorter one, because a length check was done on
the wrong string. Reported by Vladimir Vassiliev.
- Core dump when postlog emitted the "usage" message, caused by an extraneous
null assignment. Reported by Kant (fnord.hammer).
- These releases add support to turn off the TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 protocols.
Introduced with OpenSSL version 1.0.1, these protocols are known to cause
inter-operability problems, for example with some hotmail services.
The radical workaround is to temporarily turn off problematic protocols
globally:
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
smtp_tls_protocols = !SSLv2, !TLSv1.1, !TLSv1.2
smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2, !TLSv1.1, !TLSv1.2
smtpd_tls_protocols = !SSLv2, !TLSv1.1, !TLSv1.2
smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2, !TLSv1.1, !TLSv1.2
However, it may be better to temporarily turn off problematic protocols for
broken sites only:
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
smtp_tls_policy_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/tls_policy
/etc/postfix/tls_policy:
example.com may protocols=!SSLv2:!TLSv1.1:!TLSv1.2
Notes:
Note the use of ":" instead of comma or space. Also, note that there is NO
space around the "=" in "protocols=".
The smtp_tls_policy_maps lookup key must match the "next-hop" destination
that is given to the Postfix SMTP client. If you override the next-hop
destination with transport_maps, relayhost, sender_dependent_relayhost_maps,
or otherwise, you need to specify the same destination for the
smtp_tls_policy_maps lookup key.
- OpenSSL related (all supported Postfix versions).
Some people have reported program crashes when the OpenSSL library was
updated while Postfix was accessing the Postfix TLS session cache. To avoid
this, the Postfix TLS session cache ID now includes the OpenSSL library
version number. This cache ID is not shared via the network.
- The OpenSSL workaround introduced with the previous stable and legacy
releases did not compile with older gcc compilers. These compilers can't
handle #ifdef inside a macro invocation (NOT: definition).
- To avoid repeated warnings from postscreen(8) with "connect to
private/dnsblog service: Connection refused" on FreeBSD, the dnsblog(8)
daemon now uses the single_server program driver instead of the multi_server
driver. This one-line code change has no performance impact for other
systems, and eliminates a high-frequency accept() race on a shared socket
that appears to cause trouble on FreeBSD. The same single_server program
driver has proven itself for many years in smtpd(8). Problem reported by
Sahil Tandon.
- Laptop-friendly support (all supported Postfix versions). A little-known
secret is that Postfix has always had support to avoid unnecessary disk
spin-up for MTIME updates, by doing s/fifo/unix/ in master.cf (this is
currently not supported on Solaris systems). However, two minor fixes are
needed to make this bullet-proof.
- In laptop-friendly mode, the "postqueue -f" and "sendmail -q" commands did
not wait until their requests had reached the pickup and qmgr servers before
closing their UNIX-domain request sockets.
- In laptop-friendly mode, the unused postkick command waited for more than
a minute because the event_drain() function was comparing bitmasks
incorrectly on systems with kqueue(2), epoll(2) or /dev/poll support.
Fix locking of file handle. More cleanup on error paths.
Keep track of CCBs, so they cannot be used after a session ends.
Handle CCB timeouts even when the connection is terminated.
Compute firstdata, firstimmed correctly.
is a global sysctl kern.maxlwp to control this, which is by default 2048.
The first lwp of each process or kernel threads are not counted against the
limit. To show the current resource usage per user, I added a new sysctl
that dumps the uidinfo structure fields.
