timer, otherwise there is a tiny window where both timers are
active, and this is not correct according to the comments in the
code. I believe that this is the cause of the to_ticks <= 0 assertion
failure in callout_schedule() that I've been getting.
(this can never have worked)
now I can use a "bge" gigabit interface with hw checksumming

woow!
When under pressure for mbufs or we have too many fragments in the IP
reassembly queue, drop half of all fragments. This multiplicative-drop
strategy ensures we return to a healthy state, even under borderline
denial-of-service from extremely lossy NFS-over-UDP peers.
The multiplicative-drop phase currently drops 50% of fragments, but
has pre-placed support for implementing drop-fractions other than 50%
The threshhold for the `drop-half' phase is the new variable,
ip_maxfrags which is calculated as nmbclusters/4.
ip_input.c now keeps ip_nmbclusters, a cached copy of nmbclusters.
Before using limits derived from nmbclusters, we check if nmbclusters
and ip_nmclusters are equal. If not, we recompute Ip parameters
derived from nmbclusters. Based on a suggestion by Jason Thorpe.
ip_maxfrags is currently auto-recalcuated.
The counters ip_nfrags and ip_nfragpacketsr are now declared static
and uninitialized (bss), to discourage tampering with them.
The idea is that we only clear M_CANFASTFWD if an SPD exists
for the packet. Otherwise, it's safe to add a fast-forward
cache entry for the route.
To make this work properly, we invalidate the entire ipflow
cache if a fast-ipsec key is added or changed.
to check if interface exists, as (1) if_index has different meaning
(2) ifindex2ifnet could become NULL when interface gets destroyed,
since when we have introduced dynamically-created interfaces. from kame
- seed2 is necessary, but use it as "seed2 + x" not "seed2 ^ x".
- skipping number is not needed, so disable it for 16bit generator (makes
the repetition period to 30000)
Gone are the old kern_sysctl(), cpu_sysctl(), hw_sysctl(),
vfs_sysctl(), etc, routines, along with sysctl_int() et al. Now all
nodes are registered with the tree, and nodes can be added (or
removed) easily, and I/O to and from the tree is handled generically.
Since the nodes are registered with the tree, the mapping from name to
number (and back again) can now be discovered, instead of having to be
hard coded. Adding new nodes to the tree is likewise much simpler --
the new infrastructure handles almost all the work for simple types,
and just about anything else can be done with a small helper function.
All existing nodes are where they were before (numerically speaking),
so all existing consumers of sysctl information should notice no
difference.
PS - I'm sorry, but there's a distinct lack of documentation at the
moment. I'm working on sysctl(3/8/9) right now, and I promise to
watch out for buses.
