- Make MULTIPROCESSOR mandatory on i386.
Installation changes:
- Update installation section of release notes to match reality.
- Rename INSTALL to INSTALL_FLOPPY, retire INSTALL_LARGE.
- Build INSTALL kernel from GENERIC, like on amd64.
- Update boot menu to allow disabling ACPI and/or SMP.
- Remove GENERIC.NOACPI from the installed kernel list.
- TODO: install default boot.cfg in etc.tgz.
- TODO: possibly enable PCI fixup stuff at runtime if ACPI is disabled.
Build changes:
- No longer build ALL, it's for verification, is slow to build and the
build process is already crippled by the number of kernels built.
- No longer build GENERIC.NOACPI.
The previous fix worked, but it opened a window where mounts could have
disappeared from mountlist while the caller was traversing it using
vfs_trybusy(). Fix that.
BUFQ_CANCEL(queue, element) removes the specified element previously queued
on the queue. It returns NULL if it was not found on the queue and the
element if it was successfully removed.
Run trough tech-kern and changed name from BUFQ_REVOKE() by suggestion of
Jason Thorpe.
The symptom was that sometimes file systems would occasionally not appear
in output from 'df' or 'mount' if the system was busy. Resolution:
- Make mount locks work somewhat like vm_map locks.
- vfs_trybusy() now only fails if the mount is gone, or if someone is
unmounting the file system. Simple contention on mnt_lock doesn't
cause it to fail.
- vfs_busy() will wait even if the file system is being unmounted.
- replace rssadapt(9) with amrr for automatic rate control.
- don't blindly IFQ_DEQUEUE() then drop a Tx packet if there are no
available Tx resources.
- move default MAC/BBP/RF settings from rt2661.c to rt2661reg.h.
- enable packet bursting when operating as a STA.
- implement new ic_updateslot() callback.
- in hostap mode, we defer update of the slot time until all associated
STAs are notified with updated beacons.
- 802.11a uses a 16 microseconds short interframe space.
- Fix rt2661_set_macaddr() so that we don't override the "unicast to me"
flag in RT2661_MAC_CSR3 when setting the MAC address.
- fix index of ERP information element in beacons.
Add a couple of tweaks of my own:
- The RX/TX BUSY flag should be the last thing written to a descriptor.
- Check and service any additional h/w interrupts before returning
from the isr.
Tested in STA, AP, and Monitor modes. Tested with WEP, WPA, and WPA2 crypto.
