To prevent any further confusion about device minor and unit numbers,
we'd better just refer to device unit numbers. Many people still think
the numbers we show inside devfs have any relation to the numbers passed
to make_dev(9), which is not the case.
Discussed with: kib
When I changed kern_conf.c three months ago I made device unit numbers
equal to (unneeded) device minor numbers. We used to require
bitshifting, because there were eight bits in the middle that were
reserved for a device major number. Not very long after I turned
dev2unit(), minor(), unit2minor() and minor2unit() into macro's.
The unit2minor() and minor2unit() macro's were no-ops.
We'd better not remove these four macro's from the kernel, because there
is a lot of (external) code that may still depend on them. For now it's
harmless to remove all invocations of unit2minor() and minor2unit().

- Instead of using a syscall slot (370) just to get a function prototype
for lkmressys(), add an explicit function prototype to <sys/sysent.h>.
This also removes unused special case checks for 'lkmressys' from
makesyscalls.sh.
- Instead of having magic logic in makesyscalls.sh to only generate a
function prototype the first time 'lkmnosys' is seen, make 'NODEF'
always not generate a function prototype and include an explicit
prototype for 'lkmnosys' in <sys/sysent.h>.
- As a result of the fix in (2), update the LKM syscall entries in
the freebsd32 syscall table to use 'lkmnosys' rather than 'nosys'.
- Use NOPROTO for the __syscall() entry (198) in the native ABI. This
avoids the need for magic logic in makesyscalls.h to only generate
a function prototype the first time 'nosys' is encountered.

Nick Sayer had similar problems, and in his case completly disabling

that can be used to turn off route caching in if_stf.

have hardware ram buffer. The silicon bug seem to be triggered by
pause frames if receive buffer is not aligned on FIFO word(8 bytes).
To workaround the issue, make sure to align Rx buffers on 8 bytes.
Unfortunately this workaround requires yet another Rx fixup for
strict alignment architecture machines to align IP header.
For newer hardwares that lacks ram buffer may not have this bug so
check number of available ram buffer size to see the existence of
ram buffer.

unmounts. When we upgrade a vnode lock from shared to exclusive during
a name cache lookup, fail the lookup with EBADF if the vnode is invalidated
while we are waiting for the exclusive lock.
Also, for correctness (though I'm not sure it can occur in practice),
downgrade an exclusively locked vnode if it should be share locked.

Yesterday I got two reports of potential crashes, related to TTY
deallocation during device closure. When a thread is in TF_OPENCLOSE,
draining its output upon closure, we should not allow calls to
tty_rel_free() to happen at the same time. This could cause the TTY to
be torn down twice.

unconditionally drop the tcbinfo lock (after all, we assert it lines
before), but call tcp_dropwithreset() under both inpcb and inpcbinfo
locks only if we pass in an tcpcb. Otherwise, if the pointer is NULL,
firewall code may later recurse the global tcbinfo lock trying to look
up an inpcb.
This is an instance where a layering violation leads not only
potentially to code reentrace and recursion, but also to lock
recursion, and was revealed by the conversion to rwlocks because
acquiring a read lock on an rwlock already held with a write lock is
forbidden. When these locks were mutexes, they simply recursed.
