vlrureclaim() in vfs_subr.c 1.636 because waiting for the vnode
lock aggravates an existing race condition. It is also undesirable
according to the commit log for 1.631.
Fix the tiny race condition that remains by rechecking the vnode
state after grabbing the vnode lock and grabbing the vnode interlock.
Fix the problem of other threads being starved (which 1.636 attempted
to fix by removing LK_NOWAIT) by calling uio_yield() periodically
in vlrureclaim(). This should be more deterministic than hoping
that VOP_LOCK() without LK_NOWAIT will block, which may not happen
in this loop.

enhance the security of bpf(4) by further relinquishing the privilege of
the bpf(4) consumer (assuming the ioctl commands are being implemented).
Once BIOCLOCK is executed, the device becomes locked which prevents the
execution of ioctl(2) commands which can change the underly parameters of the
bpf(4) device. An example might be the setting of bpf(4) filter programs or
attaching to different network interfaces.
BIOCSETWF can be used to set write filters for outgoing packets. Currently if
a bpf(4) consumer is compromised, the bpf(4) descriptor can essentially be used
as a raw socket, regardless of consumer's UID. Write filters give users the
ability to constrain which packets can be sent through the bpf(4) descriptor.
These features are currently implemented by a couple programs which came from
OpenBSD, such as the new dhclient and pflogd.
-Modify bpf_setf(9) to accept a "cmd" parameter. This will be used to specify
whether a read or write filter is to be set.
-Add a bpf(4) filter program as a parameter to bpf_movein(9) as we will run the
filter program on the mbuf data once we move the packet in from user-space.
-Rather than execute two uiomove operations, (one for the link header and the
other for the packet data), execute one and manually copy the linker header
into the sockaddr structure via bcopy.
-Restructure bpf_setf to compensate for write filters, as well as read.
-Adjust bpf(4) stats structures to include a bd_locked member.
It should be noted that the FreeBSD and OpenBSD implementations differ a bit in
the sense that we unconditionally enforce the lock, where OpenBSD enforces it
only if the calling credential is not root.

TTL a packet must have when received on a socket. All packets with a
lower TTL are silently dropped. Works on already connected/connecting
and listening sockets for RAW/UDP/TCP.
This option is only really useful when set to 255 preventing packets
from outside the directly connected networks reaching local listeners
on sockets.
Allows userland implementation of 'The Generalized TTL Security Mechanism
(GTSM)' according to RFC3682. Examples of such use include the Cisco IOS
BGP implementation command "neighbor ttl-security".

The use of ~PDRMASK is problematic if the PDE has PG_NX set. Specifically,

is a workaround for non-symetric teardown of the file systems at
shutdown with respect to the mount order at boot. The proper long term
fix is to properly detach devfs from the root mount before unmounting
each, and should be implemented, but since the problem is non-harmful,
this temporary band-aid will prevent false positive bug reports and
unnecessary error output for 6.0-RELEASE.
