- MP-safe drivers provide a mutex to ifmedia that is used to serialize access to media-related structures / hardware regsiters. Converted drivers use the new ifmedia_init_with_lock() function for this. The new name is provided to ease the transition. - Un-converted drivers continue to call ifmedia_init(), which will supply a compatibility lock to be used instead. Several media-related entry points must be aware of this compatibility lock, and are able to acquire it recursively a limited number of times, if needed. This is a SPIN mutex with priority IPL_NET. - This same lock is used to serialize access to PHY registers and other MII-related data structures. The PHY drivers are modified to acquire and release the lock, as needed, and assert the lock is held as a diagnostic aid. The "usbnet" framework has had an overhaul of its internal locking protocols to fit in with the media / mii changes, and the drivers adapted. USB wifi drivers have been changed to provide their own adaptive mutex to the ifmedia later via a new ieee80211_media_init_with_lock() function. This is required because the USB drivers need an adaptive mutex. Besised "usbnet", a few other drivers are converted: vmx, wm, ixgbe / ixv. mcx also now calls ifmedia_init_with_lock() because it needs to also use an adaptive mutex. The mcx driver still needs to be fully converted to NET_MPSAFE. |

NetBSD
NetBSD is a free, fast, secure, and highly portable Unix-like Open Source operating system. It is available for a wide range of platforms, from large-scale servers and powerful desktop systems to handheld and embedded devices.
Building
You can cross-build NetBSD from most UNIX-like operating systems. To build for amd64 (x86_64), in the src directory:
./build.sh -U -u -j4 -m amd64 -O ~/obj release
Additional build information available in the BUILDING file.
Binaries
Testing
On a running NetBSD system:
cd /usr/tests; atf-run | atf-report
Troubleshooting
- Send bugs and patches via web form.
- Subscribe to the mailing lists. The netbsd-users list is a good choice for many problems; watch current-users if you follow the bleeding edge of NetBSD-current.
- Join the community IRC channel #netbsd @ freenode.
