Now this check is necessary because IPv6 source routing might use
control data bigger than MLEN. (e.g. 16bytes IPv6 addr x 23 hops)
Actually mbuf cluster should be used in uipc_socket.c:sbcreatecontrol()
and uipc_syscalls.c:sockargs() when data size is bigger then MLEN,
and such patches were already in KAME environment and have been
confirmed to work well. I just forgot to merge them into 4.0, sorry.
For safety, I'll postpone such patches until after 4.0 release.
The effect of postponement is followings.
-Ping6 source routing hops are limitted to around 6 or so.
-If some apps do setsockopt IPV6_RTHDR and try to receive
incoming IPv6 source routing info, it can't receive more
than 6 hops source routing info.
(But currently, no apps seems to be doing it.)

from an interrupt context and fsetown() wants to peek at curproc, call
malloc(..., M_WAITOK), and fiddle with various unprotected data structures.
The fix is to move the code that duplicates the F_SETOWN/FIOSETOWN state
of the original socket to the new socket from sonewconn() to accept1(),
since accept1() runs in the correct context. Deferring this until the
process calls accept() is harmless since the process can't do anything
useful with SIGIO on the new socket until it has the descriptor for that
socket.
One could make the case for not bothering to duplicate the
F_SETOWN/FIOSETOWN state and requiring the process to explicitly make the
fcntl() or ioctl() call on the new socket, but this would be incompatible
with the previous implementation and might break programs which rely on
the old semantics.

it works correctly.
This commit includes the following changes:
1) Old-style (pr_usrreq()) protocols are no longer supported, the compatibility
glue for them is deleted, and the kernel will panic on boot if any are compiled
in.
2) Certain protocol entry points are modified to take a process structure,
so they they can easily tell whether or not it is possible to sleep, and
also to access credentials.
3) SS_PRIV is no more, and with it goes the SO_PRIVSTATE setsockopt()
call. Protocols should use the process pointer they are now passed.
4) The PF_LOCAL and PF_ROUTE families have been updated to use the new
style, as has the `raw' skeleton family.
5) PF_LOCAL sockets now obey the process's umask when creating a socket

As a result, LINT is now broken. I'm hoping that some enterprising hacker
with a bit more time will either make the broken bits work (should be
easy for netipx) or dike them out.

the high kernel calls into a protocol stack to perform requests on the
user's behalf. We replace the pr_usrreq() entry in struct protosw with a
pointer to a structure containing pointers to functions which implement
the various reuqests; each function is declared with the correct type and
number of arguments. (This is unlike the current scheme in which a quarter
of the requests take arguments of type other than (struct mbuf *) and the
difference is papered over with casts.) There are a few benefits to this
new scheme:
1) Arguments are passed with their correct types, and null-pointer dummies
are no longer necessary.
2) There should be slightly better caching effects from eliminating
the prximity to extraneous code and th switch in pr_usrreq().
3) It becomes much easier to change the types of the arguments to something
other than `struct mbuf *' (e.g.,pushing the work of sosend() into
the protocol as advocated by Van Jacobson).
There is one principal drawback: existing protocol stacks need to
be modified. This is alleviated by compatibility code in
uipc_socket2.c and uipc_domain.c which emulates the new interface
in terms of the old and vice versa.
This idea is not original to me. I read about what Jacobson did
in one of his papers and have tried to implement the first steps
towards something like that here. Much work remains to be done.

Now the queue of unaccepted & complete connections is checked directly

large numbers of connections are often queued for accept (e.g. http).
the range [210:260] by sweeping the problem under the rug. This change
has the following effects:
1) A new MIB variable in the kern branch is defined to allow modification
of the socket buffer layer's ``wastage factor'' (which determines how
much unused-but-allocated space in mbufs and mbuf clusters is allowed
in a socket buffer).
2) The default value of the wastage factor is changed from 2 to 8.
The original value was chosen when MINCLSIZE was 7*MLEN (!), and is not
appropriate for an environment where MINCLSIZE is much less.
The real solution to this problem is to scrap both mbufs and sockbufs
and completely redesign the buffering mechanism used at both levels.
