possibly unused (with __attribute__ ((unused))), to avoid generating
warnings when compiling without optimization but with most ports' default
warning flags.
Use <net/if_ether.h> for ethernet specific definitions, and insert private
definitions for ARP if needed. (The new ARP macros in <net/if_arp.h> are
not used because they create larger code, and we really don't need more
than ethernet/ip support here.)
Add DDB interface to /sys/arch/mips/mips..
Rework heuristic stack traceback to work with DDB.
Add hooks to print exception log from DDB.
Add hooks from pmax console drivers: call Debugger()
after break from serial console, or 'DO' key from LK-xxx.
connect to their 1-wire bus like the DS2404 "EconoRAM Time Chip"
- and -
* Interface function definitions for this kind of chips. Currently only
low-level byte_read and _write, implenented as inline functions.
This functions take a struct ds_handle * (also defined here), which contains
pointers to bit-read/write and reset functions.
Eventually, prototypes for memory-access functions should go here, and the
1-wire bus should be made a BSD auto-configuration bus.
fixed in FreeBSD by John Polstra:
Fix a bug (apparently very old) that can cause a TCP connection to
be dropped when it has an unusual traffic pattern. For full details
as well as a test case that demonstrates the failure, see the
referenced PR (FreeBSD's kern/3998).
Under certain circumstances involving the persist state, it is
possible for the receive side's tp->rcv_nxt to advance beyond its
tp->rcv_adv. This causes (tp->rcv_adv - tp->rcv_nxt) to become
negative. However, in the code affected by this fix, that difference
was interpreted as an unsigned number by max(). Since it was
negative, it was taken as a huge unsigned number. The effect was
to cause the receiver to believe that its receive window had negative
size, thereby rejecting all received segments including ACKs. As
the test case shows, this led to fruitless retransmissions and
eventually to a dropped connection. Even connections using the
loopback interface could be dropped. The fix substitutes the signed
imax() for the unsigned max() function.
Bill informs me that his research indicates this bug appeared in Reno.
