New Revision: 220397
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/220397

Log:
  MFhead 220317:
    When removing ifnets, we should first remove the reference to ifnet
    from the interface index, then decrease refcount, not vice versa.
  
    Otherwise there is a race (reproducible) when if_free_internal()
    contests on IFNET_WLOCK(), and we got a zero-refed ifnet in the
    index for a long time. It may be picked by some other thread,
    that runs ifnet_byindex_ref(), who takes the ifnet from index,
    and bumps refcount. When reader drops the lock, if_free_internal()
    proceeds with free. Then reader tries to free it a second time.
