Hi,
Thanx makes more sense, but I have noticed something weired if you can
shade some light on.
I added printfs one when the module is first loaded (static int
event_handler(module_t module, int event, void *arg)):
curthread=0xc3f95870
curthread->td_vnet=0xc3170e00
curthread->td_ucred=0xc3185d00
TD_TO_VNET=0
CRED_TO_VNET=0
Try to load it from laoder on boot; I think that should work as we are
setting the curvent for the kernel startup.
The problem you are seeing is a bug in the current implementation that
you cannot add any physical network interface after the kernel started.
This applies to cardbus/usb/... as well as any kind of ethernet
interface, so a kldload igb should yield it as well.
The fix for that is easy and hard at the same time:
A) either touch all drivers
B) or touch all cloned interfaces and change 3 common lines.
or try to make cloners aware of vimages.
Solution B) is sitting in perforce with the entire stuff that it
depends
on and was started with CH=179022,179255 but not limited to that if you
want to have a peek.
What you certainly can do locally to your driver for now is to make a
change like this:
+#ifdef VIMAGE
+ CURVNET_SET(vnet0);
+#endif
ifp = if_alloc(IFT_ETHER);
+#ifdef VIMAGE
+ CURVNET_RESTORE();
+#endif
you don't really need the #ifdef except for readability as
CURVNET_XXX ar enot defined for !vnet
It's the type A) kind of change from above that will break eventually
in the future.
