All calls to mtx_init() for mutexes that recurse must now include
the MTX_RECURSE bit in the flag argument variable. This change is in
preparation for an upcoming (further) mutex API cleanup.
The witness code will call panic() if a lock is found to recurse but
the MTX_RECURSE bit was not set during the lock's initialization.
The old MTX_RECURSE "state" bit (in mtx_lock) has been renamed to
MTX_RECURSED, which is more appropriate given its meaning.
The following locks have been made "recursive," thus far:
eventhandler, Giant, callout, sched_lock, possibly some others declared
in the architecture-specific code, all of the network card driver locks
in pci/, as well as some other locks in dev/ stuff that I've found to
be recursive.

usb_ethersubr.c. This module maintains two queues for packets which
are each protected with one mutex. These are all the changes I can
do for now. Removing the USBD_NO_TSLEEP flag doesn't work yet: when
I tried it, the system would usually freeze up after a NIC had been

routines from foo_watchdog() because foo_watchdog() is called at
interrupt context, and that's a no-no due to the way the USB stack
is currently set up.
What we do now is call the TX end of frame handler manually to clear
the completed transmission, then check the send queue and send off
any frames that are pending.
Also turned off the interrupt pipe stuff in if_aue, since it appears
to tickle a bug in the USB stack that I haven't found yet.
- Sync ohci, uhci and usbdi modules with NetBSD in order to obtain the
following improvements:
o New USBD_NO_TSLEEP flag can be used in place of UQ_NO_TSLEEP
quirk. This allows drivers to specify busy waiting only for
certain transfers (namely control transfers for reading/writing
registers and stuff).
o New USBD_FORCE_SHORT_XFER flag can be used to deal with
devices like the ADMtek Pegasus that sense the end of bulk OUT
transfers in a special way (if a transfer is exactly a multiple
of 64 bytes in size, you need to send an extra empty packet
to terminate the transfer).
o usbd_open_pipe_intr() now accepts an interval argument which
can be used to change the rate at which the interrupt callback
routine is invoked. Specifying USBD_DEFAULT_INTERVAL uses the
value specified in the device's config data, but drivers can
override it if needed.
- Change if_aue to use USBD_FORCE_SHORT_XFER for packet transmissions.
- Change if_aue, if_kue and if_cue to use USBD_NO_TSLEEP for all
control transfers. We no longer force the non-tsleep hack for
bulk transfers since these are done asynchronously anyway.
- Removed quirk entry fiddling from if_aue and if_kue since we don't
need it anymore now that we have the USBD_NO_TSLEEP flag.
- Tweak ulpt, uhid, ums and ukbd drivers to use the new arg to
usbd_open_pipe_intr().
- Add a flag to the softc struct in the ethernet drivers to indicate
when a device has been detached, and use this flag to perform
tests to prevent the drivers from trying to do control transfers
if this is the case. This is necessary because calling if_detach()
with INET6 enabled will eventually result in a call to the driver's
ioctl() routine to delete the multicast groups on the interface,
which will result in attempts to perform control transfers. (It's
possible this also happens even without INET6 support enabled.) This
is pointless since we know that if the detach method has been called,
the hardware has been unplugged.
- Changed watchdog timeout routines to just call the driver init routines
to initialize the device states without trying to close and re-open the
pipes. This is partly because we don't want to frob things at interrupt
context, but also because this doesn't seem to work right and I don't
want to panic the system just because a USB device may have stopped
responding.
- Fix aue_rxeof() to be a little smarter about detecting when a double
transfer is needed. Unfortunately, the design of the chip makes it hard
to get this exactly right. Hopefully, this will go away once either
Nick or Lennart finds the bug in the uhci driver that makes this ugly
hack necessary.

running. It turns out that trying to read the MAC address when there's
no firmware creates a zero length transfer. This apparently doesn't
hurt anything on a UHCI controller, but OHCI controllers generate an
IOERROR, and the device doesn't initialize.
Instead, check the bcdDevice revision code. We know this will be
different when the firmware is running, so if we detect the firmware's
code instead of the bare hardware's code, we skip the firmware load.
Do not not not call m_freem() in the txeof routines. Let the netisr routine
do it. This also makes the tx netisr queuing much simpler (I can just use
another ifqueue instead of the mess I had before.)

- Get really crazy about netisr stuff: avoid doing any mbuf allocations

drive the transmitter, we have to check the interface's send queue in the
TX end of frame handler (i.e. the usb bulk out callback) and push out new
transmissions if the queue has packets in it and the transmitter is
ready. But the txeof handler is also called from a USB callback running
at splusb() too.
Grrr.
Packets are received inside USB bulk transfer callbacks, which run at
splusb() (actually splbio()). The packet input queues are meant to be
manipulated at splimp(). However the locking apparently breaks down under
certain circumstances and the input queues can get trampled.
There's a similar problem with if_ppp, which is driven by hardware/tty
interrupts from the serial driver, but which must also manipulate the
packet input queues at splimp(). The fix there is to use a netisr, and
that's the fix I used here. (I can hear you groaning back there. Hush up.)
The usb_ethersubr module maintains a single queue of its own. When a
packet is received in the USB callback routine, it's placed on this
queue with usb_ether_input(). This routine also schedules a soft net
interrupt with schednetisr(). The ISR routine then runs later, at
splnet, outside of the USB callback/interrupt context, and passes the
packet to ether_input(), hopefully in a safe manner.
The reason this is implemented as a separate module is that there are
a limited number of NETISRs that we can use, and snarfing one up for
each driver that needs it is wasteful (there will be three once I get
the CATC driver done). It also reduces code duplication to a certain
small extent. Unfortunately, it also needs to be linked in with the
usb.ko module in order for the USB ethernet drivers to share it.
Also removed some uneeded includes from if_aue.c and if_kue.c

There are actually a couple more out there from Accton, Asante and
EXP Computer, however I was not able to find any Windows device
drivers for these on their servers, and hence could not harvest
their vendor/device ID info. If somebody has one of these things
and can look in the .inf file that comes with the Windows driver,
I'd appreciate knowing what it says for 'VID' and 'PID.'
Additional adapters include: the D-Link DSB-650 and DSB-650TX, the
SMC 2102USB, 2104USB and 2202USB, the ATen UC10T, and the Netgear EA101.
