kern/39940 and by Martti Kuparinen on current-users@: replace the
ioctl lock with finer-grained locking. Lock the ports list and
wait to if_clone_destroy() until all threads are out of the softc.
Thanks to Martti Kuparinen for testing these changes.
#if NBPFILTER is no longer required in the client. This change
doesn't yet add support for loading bpf as a module, since drivers
can register before bpf is attached. However, callers of bpf can
now be modularized.
Dynamically loadable bpf could probably be done fairly easily with
coordination from the stub driver and the real driver by registering
attachments in the stub before the real driver is loaded and doing
a handoff. ... and I'm not going to ponder the depths of unload
here.
Tested with i386/MONOLITHIC, modified MONOLITHIC without bpf and rump.

read/write/accept, then the expectation is that the blocked thread will
exit and the close complete.
Since only one fd is affected, but many fd can refer to the same file,
the close code can only request the fs code unblock with ERESTART.
Fixed for pipes and sockets, ERESTART will only be generated after such
a close - so there should be no change for other programs.
Also rename fo_abort() to fo_restart() (this used to be fo_drain()).
Fixes PR/26567
do drain' in many places, whereas fo_drain() was called in order to force
blocking read()/write() etc calls to return to userspace so that a close()
call from a different thread can complete.
In the sockets code comment out the broken code in the inner function,
it was being called from compat code.
- Drop the INET6 block. The commands are never given to this function
and truncating the sockaddr is arguably not the desired result anyway.
- Clear the address before copying. This fixes SIOCGIFNETMASK and possible
other ioctls for users that don't check sa_len. This includes
COMPAT_43 and Linux emulation.
OK dyoung@
Pfsync interface exposes change in the pf(4) over a pseudo-interface, and can
be used to synchronise different pf.

addresses. Make the kernel support SIOC[SG]IFADDRPREF for IPv6
interface addresses.
In in6ifa_ifpforlinklocal(), consult preference numbers before
making an otherwise arbitrary choice of in6_ifaddr. Otherwise,
preference numbers are *not* consulted by the kernel, but that will
be rather easy for somebody with a little bit of free time to fix.
Please note that setting the preference number for a link-local
IPv6 address does not work right, yet, but that ought to be fixed
soon.
In support of the changes above,
1 Add a method to struct domain for "externalizing" a sockaddr, and
provide an implementation for IPv6. Expect more work in this area: it
may be more proper to say that the IPv6 implementation "internalizes"
a sockaddr. Add sockaddr_externalize().
2 Add a subroutine, sofamily(), that returns a struct socket's address
family or AF_UNSPEC.
3 Make a lot of IPv4-specific code generic, and move it from
sys/netinet/ to sys/net/ for re-use by IPv6 parts of the kernel and
ifconfig(8).
queue's maximum length, current length, and number of drops. E.g.,
% sysctl net.interfaces.bnx0
net.interfaces.bnx0.sndq.len = 0
net.interfaces.bnx0.sndq.maxlen = 509
net.interfaces.bnx0.sndq.drops = 0
Let userland adjust the maximum queue length.
While I'm here, add a 64-bit generation number, if_index_gen, to
ifnet; the pair [ifp->if_index, ifp->if_index_gen] can serve to
identify an ifnet for the lifetime of the system. I will use this
in an upcoming change.
Ok matt@.
These changes allow vlans to be layered above agr, with the attach
and detach propogated to the member ports in the aggregation.
Note the agr interface must be up before the vlan is attached.
Adds SIOCINITIFADDR support to the wm driver for setting the AF_LINK
address, necessary for agr to be able to set the mac addresses of each
port to the agr address (i.e. so it can receive all intended traffic
at the hardware level).
Adds support for disabling the LACP protocol by setting LINK1 on the agr
interface (e.g. ifconfig agr0 link1).
In consultation with tls@.
