Netgraph has two main types of message items:
- NGQF_DATA items are used for data processing. This is a hot path that
should be called from a NET_EPOCH context.
- NGQF_MESG items are used for node configuration. There are many places
in netgraph(4) where processing the NGQF_MESG item can call sections of code
that are forbidden in the NET_EPOCH context.
All item types can be queued and then processed using ngthread().
But ngthread() is unconditionally enter in the NET_EPOCH section for all types.
This causes panic/deadlocks when processing NGQF_MESG elements.

This is because ng_name_rehash() and ng_ID_rehash() are declared with
(void) argument lists, but defined with empty argument lists. Make the

This definition enables callers to estimate remaining space on the
kstack, and take action on it. Notably, it enables optimizations in the
GEOM and netgraph subsystems to directly dispatch work items when there
is sufficient stack space, rather than queuing them for a worker thread.
Implement it for riscv, arm, and mips. Remove the #ifdefs, so it will
not go unimplemented elsewhere.

Detailed analysis in https://github.com/genneko/freebsd-vimage-jails/issues/2
brought the problem down to a double call of ng_node_name() before and
after a vnet move. Because the name of the node is already known
(occupied by itself), the second call fails.

The data path in netgraph is designed to work on an read only state of
the whole netgraph network. Currently this is achived by convention,
there is no technical enforcment. In the case of NETGRAPH_DEBUG all
nodes can be annotated for debugging purposes, so the strict
enforcment needs to be lifted for this purpose.
This patch is part of a series to make ng_bridge multithreaded, which
is done by rewrite the data path to operate on const.

When tearing down a VNET, netgraph sends shutdown messages to all of the
nodes before detaching interfaces (SI_SUB_NETGRAPH comes before
SI_SUB_INIT_IF in teardown order). ng_ether nodes handle this by
destroying themselves without detaching from the parent ifnet. Then,
when ifnets go away they detach their ng_ether nodes again, triggering a
use-after-free.
Handle this by modifying ng_ether_shutdown() to detach from the ifnet.
If the shutdown was triggered by an ifnet being destroyed, we will clear
priv->ifp in the ng_ether detach callback, so priv->ifp may be NULL.
Also get rid of the printf in vnet_netgraph_uninit(). It can be
triggered trivially by ng_ether since ng_ether_shutdown() persists the
node unless NG_REALLY_DIE is set.

r357614 added CTLFLAG_NEEDGIANT to make it easier to find nodes that are
still not MPSAFE (or already are but aren’t properly marked).
Use it in preparation for a general review of all nodes.
This is non-functional change that adds annotations to SYSCTL_NODE and
SYSCTL_PROC nodes using one of the soon-to-be-required flags.
Mark all obvious cases as MPSAFE. All entries that haven't been marked

callout_stop() recently started returning -1 when the callout is already
stopped, which is not handled by the netgraph code. Properly filter
the return value. Netgraph callers only want to know if the callout
was cancelled and not draining or already stopped.

- Wrong integer type was specified.
- Wrong or missing "access" specifier. The "access" specifier
sometimes included the SYSCTL type, which it should not, except for
procedural SYSCTL nodes.
- Logical OR where binary OR was expected.
- Properly assert the "access" argument passed to all SYSCTL macros,
using the CTASSERT macro. This applies to both static- and dynamically
created SYSCTLs.
- Properly assert the the data type for both static and dynamic
SYSCTLs. In the case of static SYSCTLs we only assert that the data
pointed to by the SYSCTL data pointer has the correct size, hence
there is no easy way to assert types in the C language outside a
C-function.
- Rewrote some code which doesn't pass a constant "access" specifier
when creating dynamic SYSCTL nodes, which is now a requirement.
- Updated "EXAMPLES" section in SYSCTL manual page.

These changes prevent sysctl(8) from returning proper output,
such as:
1) no output from sysctl(8)
2) erroneously returning ENOMEM with tools like truss(1)
or uname(1)
truss: can not get etype: Cannot allocate memory
there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

Actually, text versions of generic commands are not used, since ngctl(8)
uses binary messages for them. And to request a text command one needs
a working ngctl(8). That's why the bug was never discovered. I'm pondering
on removing the text support for generic commands.

Fix multiple kernel panics when VIMAGE is enabled in the kernel.
These fixes are based on patches submitted by Adrian Chadd and Marko Zec.
(1) Set curthread->td_vnet to vnet0 in device_probe_and_attach() just before calling
device_attach(). This fixes multiple VIMAGE related kernel panics
when trying to attach Bluetooth or USB Ethernet devices because
curthread->td_vnet is NULL.
(2) Set curthread->td_vnet in if_detach(). This fixes kernel panics when detaching networking
interfaces, especially USB Ethernet devices.
(3) Use VNET_DOMAIN_SET() in ng_btsocket.c
(4) In ng_unref_node() set curthread->td_vnet. This fixes kernel panics
when detaching Netgraph nodes.
ngthread properly set the item's depth to 1. In particular, prior to this
change if ng_snd_item failed to acquire a lock on a node, the item's depth
would not be set at all. This fix ensures that the error code from rcvmsg/
rcvdata is properly passed back to the apply callback. For example, this
fixes a bug where an error from rcvmsg/rcvdata would not previously
propagate back to a libnetgraph consumer when the message was queued.
