Do a little mbuf rework while here. Change all uses of MGET*(*, M_WAIT, *)
to m_get*(M_WAIT, *). These are not performance critical and making them
call m_get saves considerable space. Add m_clget analogue of MCLGET and
make corresponding change for M_WAIT uses.
Modify netinet, gem, fxp, tulip, nfs to support MBUFTRACE.
Begin to change netstat to use sysctl.
indicating an unhandled "command". ERESTART is -1, which can lead to
confusion. ERESTART has been moved to -3 and EPASSTHROUGH has been
placed at -4. No ioctl code should now return -1 anywhere. The
ioctl() system call is now properly restartable.
follows BSD/OS practice and ucd-snmp code (FreeBSD does it for specific
interfaces only).
was: if_lastchange get updated on every packet transmission/receipt.
now: if_lastchange get updated when IFF_UP is changed.
the link level name for the interface (ifp->if_sadl) is allocated
before ifp->if_addrlen is initialized, which could lead to allocating
too little space for the link level address.
Do this by splitting allocation of the link level name out of
if_attach() and into if_alloc_sadl(), which is normally called
by functions like ether_ifattach(). Network interfaces which
don't have a link-specific attach routine must call if_alloc_sadl()
themselves (example: gif).
Link level names are freed by if_free_sadl(), which can be called
from e.g. ether_ifdetach(). Drivers never need call if_free_sadl()
themselves as if_detach() will do it if it is not already done.
While here, add the ability to pass an AF_LINK address to
SIOCSIFADDR in ether_ioctl() (this is what caused me to notice
the problem that the above fixes).
Defer output processing to the software interrupt.
Note, that in the process of doing this, I discovered several
very broken things about this driver, which are not fixed with
this commit. It should work as well as it previously did, but
this code could be seriously improved. As soon as I can find
my second Metricom radio, I'll give it a proper shakedown.
Once we have a complete frame, schedule a STRIP software interrupt,
and manipulate ipintrq from there. This will allow us to clean up
the use of splimp() in this file later.
timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
stripclose(). In strip_watchdog(), make abort if the line has been closed.
This fixes kern/4470 (Wolfgang Rupprecht), which was a bad pointer passed
to b_to_q() from strip_proberadio() called via strip_watchdog(); the tty
hadn't yet been attached to the strip interface.
