- Fix so ifn's are properly deleted when the ref count goes to 0.
- Fix so VRF's will clean themselves up when no references are around.
- Allow sctp_ifa to be passed into inpcb_bind, addr_mgmt_ep_sa to bypass
 normal validation checks.
- turn auto-asconf off for subset bound sockets
- Moves all logging to use KTR. This gets rid of most
 of the logging #ifdef's with a few exceptions reducing
 the number of config options for SCTP.

Brief silence after previous disapproval doesn't equal approval ;-)

What was wrong with the method I suggested, namely using KTR_SUBSYS if
a SCTP_TRACE option is included in the kernel?  That is the intended
way that events local to a particular subsystem should be handled.

I asked if KTR_GEN was ok.. I can use KTR_SUBSYS.. sure.. but that
means I can't really run witness on my machine as I test.. since
witness is the only one that uses KTR_SUBSYS.. No one else uses
KTR_GEN.. why is it a problem using one.


WITNESS does not use itq:

#if 0
#define KTR_WITNESS     KTR_SUBSYS
#else
#define KTR_WITNESS     0
#endif

KTR_WITNESS is used for debugging of the WITNESS code itself (probably
no-one has needed to use it for many years).  It is a completely
orthogonal purpose to yours, so they can co-exist happily.

KTR_GEN is for "general events".  SCTP is not a general event, it's
localized events belonging to a particular subsystem.


So whats wrong with using a unused one?


If you look at the history there was a big effort to reclaim these
fields.  Because space is at such a premium here there needs to be a
strong reason for using up a spare field.  SCTP does not strike me as
such a reason, particularly since the alternative seems quite
practical.

Kris
Ok.. whatever you say.. I can change it very easily ;-)
