Wnode gets two new counters: txcount and txerror
and actrate pointer that will be between minrate
and maxrate.
driver should use actrate instead of maxrate for
transmission when it can provide error feedback.
when a driver detects a transmission failed, it calls
wifitxfail() with the original packet. wifitxfail() then
reduces wn->actrate.
every 256th packet, we optimistically increase wn->actrate
before transmitting.
- reject files smaller or equal to two bytes, they are bogus
- fix out of bounds access in shargs() when n <= 2
- only copy the bytes read into line buffer
- use nil for pointers instead of 0
imagereclaim(), pagereclaim():
- move imagereclaim() and pagereclaim() declarations to portfns.h
- consistently use ulong type for page counts
- name number of pages to free "pages" instead of "min"
- check for pages == 0 on entry
freepages():
- move pagechaindone() call to wakeup newpage() consumers inside
palloc critical section.
putimage():
- use long type for refcount
- reduce delay for channel hop to 200ms
- use 1000ms timeout for auth response (dont hop channels while we wait)
- bunny hop sequence is mathematically prooven
addresses va's of 0 and -BY2PG cause trouble with some memmove()/memset()
implementations and possibly other code because of the nil pointer
and end pointers wrapping to zero.
unlock()/iunlock():
we need to place the coherence() *before* "l->key = 0", so that any
stores that where done while holding the lock become observable
*before* other processors see the lock released.
cas()/tas():
place memory barrier before successfull return to prevent reordering.
making sure to close the dot in every kproc appears repetitive,
so instead stop inheriting the dot in kproc() as this is usually
never what you wanted in the first place.
changing procmode has the nasty side effect that notes cannot
be posted to them, prventing sysfatal() and threadexitsall()
to cleanup properly.
recent kernels also check the noswap flag to void killing them
in out of memory condition, so this is really all we need now.
give kernel processes and local disk file servers (procs
having noswap flag set) a clear advantage for page allocation
under starved condition by giving them ther own wait queue so
they get readied as soon as pages become available.
check parent directory permission *after* we determined
that the new name does not exist in the parent, so that
when the new name is the same as old name then no write
permission is required in the parent directory.
instead of copying the whole packet, just save the
udp header and restore it aftwards. dont call redistrib()
when there are no forwards (this should be almost always
the case).
