What do you think ?

Does this sound similar to https://wiki.freebsd.org/Networking/ChecksumOffloading ?

@cperciva : ping?

I passed it back to @guest-seuros so he can look at the diff, make any desired changes, and get credit for the diff once it lands.

I'm going to redo this using getopt().
I didn't bother for one option, but I
now think that's silly.

WWW: information?

Looks fine to me. I'll admit I didn't bother to look
to see if/where they get called.

I know nothing about gcc flags, but if it gets
rid of the error, that seems fine to me.

I waited too long to look at this and the version in the ports tree is now 0.7.0: closing.

Add regression test for installing empty files.

I like it, but it it was my idea... I'll let someone else on Srcmgr approve to give others a chance

I don't think this will work... I'll write more later

Can you share before and after output?

Ping? I went to update my board last night and noticed I still had this (with my inline suggested fix) as a local patch.

Remove some #if 0 leftovers not properly squashed out.

I am leaving the review set to srcmgr first based on the emails I sent; we may add more people as we see fit if srcmgr in general agrees.

Remove redundant _interface I added in the tunable name

Add eventhandelr.h so non-vimage kernels compile as well.

It was not my intention to enable new tests in this commit, but I accidentally enabled the Sctp test. It probably should've been enabled before, but never was. And it works fine now.

Has anyone looked if we can now remove some of the manual counters in the dpni sysctl.
I cannot remember what was manually added there.

rebooting != rebooting, but rather 'going through shutdown path'.
