No need for sarcasm and top quoting. Since you already got sharp in
your reply, let me too.

First of all. I did not submitted you [2], right now I just checked
my sent mail to ensure that. I submitted you other patch, that later
was rejected by zec@, and that patch was very unlike [2]. So
statement in commit message is not true.

Second, these two changes are absolutely unrelated. They shouldn't
been committed as one patch.

Third. As you already know, there is projects/pf branch, where Nicos
is getting things right wrt pf+VIMAGE. The patches should first go
to this branch and tested in it. Committing to head (even a good
code), you are creating conflicts for Nicos. You are fixing two
particular problems that hurt you, while Nicos tries to get things
right in general, for everyones sake. My approach on taskqueue
context (that was rejected by Marko), was also an attempt to
create a good and generic way of dealing with the problem. Unfortunately,
Marko didn't suggest good alternatives.

Anyway this is not a reason to plumb problems in place.

As you may notice yourself the code you added:

        if (IS_DEFAULT_VNET(curvnet))
                pf_mtag_z = uma_zcreate("pf mtags", sizeof(struct m_tag) +
                    sizeof(struct pf_mtag), NULL, NULL, pf_mtag_init, NULL,
                    UMA_ALIGN_PTR, 0);

Is quite not like the rest of the code of the function. That is because
in head/ the per-VNET initialization in pf isn't separated from global
initialization. This is a generic problem, that Nikos is solving in
projects/pf. Making pf mtag zone in projects/pf would be more clean
than in head. And of course after your change merge of head to
projects/pf would fail. You could join Nikos efforts, but instead
you are just putting obstacles on his way. And mine too, since I
would do next merge.
