 1.16  18-Sep-2022  thorpej Eliminate use of IFF_OACTIVE.
 1.15  16-Jun-2021  riastradh if_attach and if_initialize cannot fail, don't test return value

These were originally made failable back in 2017 when if_initialize
allocated a softint in every interface for link state changes, so
that it could fail gracefully instead of panicking:

https://mail-index.NetBSD.org/source-changes/2017/10/23/msg089053.html

However, this spawned many seldom- or never-tested error branches,
which are risky to have around. And that softint in every interface
has since been replaced by a single global workqueue, because link
state changes require thread context but not low latency or high
throughput:

https://mail-index.NetBSD.org/source-changes/2020/02/06/msg113759.html

So there is no longer any reason for if_initialize to fail. (The
subroutine if_stats_init can't fail because percpu_alloc can't fail
either.)

There is a snag: the softint_establish in if_percpuq_create could
fail, potentially leading to bad consequences later on trying to use
the softint. This change doesn't introduce any new bugs because of
the snag -- if_percpuq_attach was already broken. However, the snag
can be better addressed without spawning error branches, either by
using a single softint or making softints less scarce.

(Separate commit will change the signatures of if_attach and
if_initialize to return void, scheduled to ride whatever is the next
convenient kernel bump.)

Patch and testing on amd64 and evbmips64-eb by maya@; commit message
soliloquy, and compile-testing on evbppc/i386/earmv7hf, by me.
 1.14  05-Feb-2020  skrll branches: 1.14.10;
Adopt <net/if_stat.h>
 1.13  29-May-2019  msaitoh branches: 1.13.4;
Even if we don't use MII(4), use the common path of SIOC[GS]IFMEDIA in
sys/net/if_ethersubr.c if we can.
- Add ec_ifmedia into struct ethercom.
- ec_mii in struct ethercom is kept and used as it is. It might be used in
future. Note that some Ethernet drivers which _DOESN'T_ use mii(4) use
ec_mii for keeping the if_media. Those should be changed in future.
 1.12  29-May-2019  msaitoh KNF. No functional change.
 1.11  03-Sep-2018  riastradh Rename min/max -> uimin/uimax for better honesty.

These functions are defined on unsigned int. The generic name
min/max should not silently truncate to 32 bits on 64-bit systems.
This is purely a name change -- no functional change intended.

HOWEVER! Some subsystems have

#define min(a, b) ((a) < (b) ? (a) : (b))
#define max(a, b) ((a) > (b) ? (a) : (b))

even though our standard name for that is MIN/MAX. Although these
may invite multiple evaluation bugs, these do _not_ cause integer
truncation.

To avoid `fixing' these cases, I first changed the name in libkern,
and then compile-tested every file where min/max occurred in order to
confirm that it failed -- and thus confirm that nothing shadowed
min/max -- before changing it.

I have left a handful of bootloaders that are too annoying to
compile-test, and some dead code:

cobalt ews4800mips hp300 hppa ia64 luna68k vax
acorn32/if_ie.c (not included in any kernels)
macppc/if_gm.c (superseded by gem(4))

It should be easy to fix the fallout once identified -- this way of
doing things fails safe, and the goal here, after all, is to _avoid_
silent integer truncations, not introduce them.

Maybe one day we can reintroduce min/max as type-generic things that
never silently truncate. But we should avoid doing that for a while,
so that existing code has a chance to be detected by the compiler for
conversion to uimin/uimax without changing the semantics until we can
properly audit it all. (Who knows, maybe in some cases integer
truncation is actually intended!)
 1.10  26-Jun-2018  msaitoh branches: 1.10.2;
Implement the BPF direction filter (BIOC[GS]DIRECTION). It provides backward
compatibility with BIOC[GS]SEESENT ioctl. The userland interface is the same
as FreeBSD.

This change also fixes a bug that the direction is misunderstand on some
environment by passing the direction to bpf_mtap*() instead of checking
m->m_pkthdr.rcvif.
 1.9  23-Oct-2017  msaitoh branches: 1.9.2;
If if_initialize() failed in the attach function, free resources and return.
 1.8  15-Dec-2016  ozaki-r branches: 1.8.8;
Move bpf_mtap and if_ipackets++ on Rx of each driver to percpuq if_input

The benefits of the change are:
- We can reduce codes
- We can provide the same behavior between drivers
- Where/When if_ipackets is counted up
- Note that some drivers still update packet statistics in their own
way (periodical update)
- Moved bpf_mtap run in softint
- This makes it easy to MP-ify bpf

Proposed on tech-kern and tech-net
 1.7  10-Jun-2016  ozaki-r branches: 1.7.2;
Introduce m_set_rcvif and m_reset_rcvif

The API is used to set (or reset) a received interface of a mbuf.
They are counterpart of m_get_rcvif, which will come in another
commit, hide internal of rcvif operation, and reduce the diff of
the upcoming change.

No functional change.
 1.6  09-Feb-2016  ozaki-r Introduce softint-based if_input

This change intends to run the whole network stack in softint context
(or normal LWP), not hardware interrupt context. Note that the work is
still incomplete by this change; to that end, we also have to softint-ify
if_link_state_change (and bpf) which can still run in hardware interrupt.

This change softint-ifies at ifp->if_input that is called from
each device driver (and ieee80211_input) to ensure Layer 2 runs
in softint (e.g., ether_input and bridge_input). To this end,
we provide a framework (called percpuq) that utlizes softint(9)
and percpu ifqueues. With this patch, rxintr of most drivers just
queues received packets and schedules a softint, and the softint
dequeues packets and does rest packet processing.

To minimize changes to each driver, percpuq is allocated in struct
ifnet for now and that is initialized by default (in if_attach).
We probably have to move percpuq to softc of each driver, but it's
future work. At this point, only wm(4) has percpuq in its softc
as a reference implementation.

Additional information including performance numbers can be found
in the thread at tech-kern@ and tech-net@:

Acknowledgment: riastradh@ greatly helped this work.
Thank you very much!

Complete rewrite of the signal and spl framework for NetBSD/usermode

Signals are now moved from the sigaltstack ASAP and stacked on a replacement
stack for each processes.

Preemption now works though could be enhanced a bit more

 1.3  09-Jan-2012  reinoud Don't directly call softint_shedule() when we might be in an SPL level too
high.
 1.2  26-Dec-2011  jmcneill veth_start: copy data from mbuf into a buffer and pass that to thunk_write(),
now this driver works as expected
 1.1  26-Dec-2011  jmcneill first cut at networking support for usermode, doesn't fully work yet but
enough to get an address with dhcp and answer arps

if_initalize() and if_attach() failed when resource allocation failed
(e.g. allocating softint). Without this change, it panics. It's bad because
resource shortage really occured when a lot of pseudo interface is created.
To avoid this problem, don't panic and change return value of if_initialize()
and if_attach() to int. Caller fanction will be recover from error cleanly by
checking the return value.
Return if bah_attach_subr() failed.
If if_attach() failed in the attach function, return.
- If if_initialize() failed in the attach function, free resources and return.
- Add some missing frees in bridge_clone_destroy().
- KNF
If error occured in bcmeth_ccb_attach(), free resources and return.
If error occured in pq3etsec_attach(), free resources and return.
If error occured in the attach function, free resources and return.
- If if_initialize() failed in athn_attach(), free resources and return.
- Add missing pmf_event_deregister() in athn_detach().
- Free resources correctly on some errors in atw_attach().
- Use apint*() insread of printf() in the attach function.
If if_initialize() failed in the attach function, return.
- If if_initialize() failed in the attach function, free resources and return.
- Add missing dwc_gmac_free_dma_rings() and mutex_destroy() when attach
failed.
- If if_initialize() failed in the attach function, free resources and return.
- ifp is always not NULL in iwi_detach(). Check correctly with ifp->if_softc.
- If if_initialize() failed in the attach function, free resources and return.
- Fix error path in the attach function correctly.
If if_initialize() failed in the attach function, free resources and return.
If if_attach() failed in the attach function, free resources and return.

Fix compile error.
Fix compile error.
We don't need '&mii', but just 'mii' for mii_detach().
Don't free sc_rthash twice
