we override atag memory on reboot, so preserve
the memsize learned from atag as *maxmem plan9
variable. the global memsize variable is not
needed anymore.
avoid trashing the following atag when zero
terminating the cmdline string.
zero memory after plan9.ini variables.
the Ipselftab is designed to not require locking on read
operation. locking the selftab in ipselftabread() risks
deadlock when accessing the user buffer creates a fault.
remove unused fields from the Ipself struct.
initialize the rate limits when the device gets
bound, not when it is created. so that the
rate limtis get reset to default when the ifc
is reused.
adjust the burst delay when the mtu is changed.
this is to make sure that we allow at least one
full sized packet burst.
make a local copy of ifc->m before doing nil
check as it can change under us when we do
not have the ifc locked.
specify Ebound[] and Eunbound[] error strings
and use them consistently.
remove references to the unused Conv.car qlock.
ipifcregisterproxy() is called with the proxy
ifc wlock'd, which means we cannot acquire the
rwlock of the interfaces that will proxy for us
because it is allowed to rlock() multiple ifc's
in any order. to get arround this, we use canrlock()
and skip the interface when we cannot acquire the
lock.
the ifc should get wlock'd only when we are about
to modify the ifc or its lifc chain. that is when
adding or removing addresses. wlock is not required
when we addresses to the selfcache, which has its
own qlock.
mark reader process pointers with (void*)-1 to mean
not started yet. this avoids the race condition when
media unbind happens before the kproc has set its
Proc* pointer. then we would not post the note and
the reader would continue running after unbind.
etherbind can be simplified by reading the #lX/addr
file to get the mac address, avoiding the temporary
buffer.
when the exclusive monitor is cleared, a event is generated
which we can use to wake up idlehands. that way we do not
need to wait for the next timer interrupt until a cpu takes
work from the run queue.
we did not interpret the $rootdir and $rootspec environment
variables right. $rootdir is what gets bound to / (usually /root)
and $rootspec is the mountspec of /root.
i'v been seeing the error condition described above in the
Slowbulkin comment. so i'm enabling the work arround which
seems to fix the lockup.
in the split transaction case where we want to start the
transaction at frame start, acquire the ctlr lock *before*
checking if we are in the right frame number. so the start
will happen atomically. checking the software ctlr->sofchan
instead of checking the interrupt mask register seems to
be quicker.
setting the haint mask bit for the chan under ctlr lock
in chanio() instead of chanwait() avoids needing to acquire
the ctlr lock twice.
mask wakechan bits with busychan bitmap in interrupt handlers
so we will not try to wake up released chans by accident.
sleep() and tsleep() might get interrupted so we have to
release the split qlock in the split transaction case and
in all cases, make sure to halt the channel before release.
add some common debug functions to dump channel and controller
registers.
we have to ensure that all stores saving the process state
have completed before setting up->mach = nil in the scheduler.
otherwise, another cpu could observe up->mach == nil while
the stores such as the processes p->sched label have not finnished.
attached is a patch to fix receive in the 8169 chip on my thinkpad
A485. i'm not sure why, but the same thing was done in 3d56a0fc4645
for Macv45.

some control transactions can confuse the xhci controller so
much that it even fails to respond to command abort or STOPEP
control command. with no way for us to abort the transaction
but a full controller reset.
we give the controller 5 seconds to abort our initial
transaction and if that fails we wake the recover process
to reset the controller.
thanks mischief for testing.
