Introduce numerous SMP friendly changes to the mbuf allocator. Namely, introduce a modified allocation mechanism for mbufs and mbuf clusters; one which can scale under SMP and which offers the possibility of resource reclamation to be implemented in the future. Notable advantages: o Reduce contention for SMP by offering per-CPU pools and locks. o Better use of data cache due to per-CPU pools. o Much less code cache pollution due to excessively large allocation macros. o Framework for `grouping' objects from same page together so as to be able to possibly free wired-down pages back to the system if they are no longer needed by the network stacks. Additional things changed with this addition: - Moved some mbuf specific declarations and initializations from sys/conf/param.c into mbuf-specific code where they belong. - m_getclr() has been renamed to m_get_clrd() because the old name is really confusing. m_getclr() HAS been preserved though and is defined to the new name. No tree sweep has been done "to change the interface," as the old name will continue to be supported and is not depracated. The change was merely done because m_getclr() sounds too much like "m_get a cluster." - TEMPORARILY disabled mbtypes statistics displaying in netstat(1) and systat(1) (see TODO below). - Fixed systat(1) to display number of "free mbufs" based on new per-CPU stat structures. - Fixed netstat(1) to display new per-CPU stats based on sysctl-exported per-CPU stat structures. All infos are fetched via sysctl. TODO (in order of priority): - Re-enable mbtypes statistics in both netstat(1) and systat(1) after introducing an SMP friendly way to collect the mbtypes stats under the already introduced per-CPU locks (i.e. hopefully don't use atomic() - it seems too costly for a mere stat update, especially when other locks are already present). - Optionally have systat(1) display not only "total free mbufs" but also "total free mbufs per CPU pool." - Fix minor length-fetching issues in netstat(1) related to recently re-enabled option to read mbuf stats from a core file. - Move reference counters at least for mbuf clusters into an unused portion of the cluster itself, to save space and need to allocate a counter. - Look into introducing resource freeing possibly from a kproc.

* Maximum number of PCPU containers. If you know what you're doing you could
* explicitly define MBALLOC_NCPU to be exactly the number of CPUs on your
* system during compilation, and thus prevent kernel structure bloat.
*
* SMP and non-SMP kernels clearly have a different number of possible CPUs,
* but because we cannot assume a dense array of CPUs, we always allocate
* and traverse PCPU containers up to NCPU amount and merely check for
* CPU availability.

* The mbuf allocator is based on Alfred Perlstein's <alfred@FreeBSD.org>
* "memcache" proof-of-concept allocator which was itself based on
* several well-known SMP-friendly allocators.
*
* The mb_alloc mbuf allocator is a special when compared to other
* general-purpose allocators. Some things to take note of:
*
* Mbufs and mbuf clusters are two different objects. Sometimes we
* will allocate a single mbuf, other times a single cluster,
* other times both. Further, we may sometimes wish to allocate a
* whole chain of mbufs with clusters. This allocator will perform
* the common case of each scenario in one function call (this
* includes constructing or destructing the object) while only
* locking/unlocking the cache once, if it can get away with it.
* The caches consist of pure mbufs and pure clusters; that is
* there are no 'zones' containing mbufs with already pre-hooked
* clusters. Since we can allocate both objects atomically anyway,
* we don't bother fragmenting our caches for any particular 'scenarios.'

* We allocate from seperate sub-maps of kmem_map, thus imposing

* from different locks for different objects, so we use the same lock,
o Introduce new m_getcl() interface routine that allocates an mbuf and a cluster in one shot. o Introduce MBP_PERSIST and MBP_PERSISTENT control bits to mb_alloc(); MBP_PERSIST means "if you can allocate, then keep the cache lock held on exit," and MBP_PERSISTENT means "a cache lock is alredy held on entry, so allocate from the specified (already locked) cache." They may be used in combination. o m_getcl() uses the MBP_PERSIST/MBP_PERSISTENT interface so that it doesn't drop the cache lock in between the mbuf and cluster allocations. o m_getm(), which takes a size and allocates an mbuf + cluster "best fit" chain, has been moved from uipc_mbuf.c to subr_mbuf.c and shown how to use MBP_PERSIST/MBP_PERSISTENT to attempt to do a grouped allocation without dropping the cache lock in between. Why this is good: much less bus-locked lock acquires/drops when they're not needed. Also, prototype for m_getcl(): struct mbuf * m_getcl(int how, short type, int flags); "how" and "type" are self-explanatory. "flags" may be M_PKTHDR, in which case m_getcl() will make the mbuf a pkthdr-mbuf. While I'm in subr_mbuf.c: o Every exported routine now has a nice comment with a description of the expected arguments. Eventually, mbuf(9) needs to be re-vamped but there's still more code to write/finalize before I get to that. o internal macros have been changed a bit. o consistently use 'short' for "type." This somehow slipped through before (that 'type' was sometimes declared as int). Alfred has been pushing for the MBP_PERSIST{,ENT} thing for almost a year now. Luigi asked for m_getcl(), and will probably MFC that part of this commit. TODO [Related]: teach mb_free() about MBP_PERSIST{, ENT}.

Namely, introduce a modified allocation mechanism for mbufs and mbuf clusters; one which can scale under SMP and which offers the possibility of resource reclamation to be implemented in the future. Notable advantages: o Reduce contention for SMP by offering per-CPU pools and locks. o Better use of data cache due to per-CPU pools. o Much less code cache pollution due to excessively large allocation macros. o Framework for `grouping' objects from same page together so as to be able to possibly free wired-down pages back to the system if they are no longer needed by the network stacks. Additional things changed with this addition: - Moved some mbuf specific declarations and initializations from sys/conf/param.c into mbuf-specific code where they belong. - m_getclr() has been renamed to m_get_clrd() because the old name is really confusing. m_getclr() HAS been preserved though and is defined to the new name. No tree sweep has been done "to change the interface," as the old name will continue to be supported and is not depracated. The change was merely done because m_getclr() sounds too much like "m_get a cluster." - TEMPORARILY disabled mbtypes statistics displaying in netstat(1) and systat(1) (see TODO below). - Fixed systat(1) to display number of "free mbufs" based on new per-CPU stat structures. - Fixed netstat(1) to display new per-CPU stats based on sysctl-exported per-CPU stat structures. All infos are fetched via sysctl. TODO (in order of priority): - Re-enable mbtypes statistics in both netstat(1) and systat(1) after introducing an SMP friendly way to collect the mbtypes stats under the already introduced per-CPU locks (i.e. hopefully don't use atomic() - it seems too costly for a mere stat update, especially when other locks are already present). - Optionally have systat(1) display not only "total free mbufs" but also "total free mbufs per CPU pool." - Fix minor length-fetching issues in netstat(1) related to recently re-enabled option to read mbuf stats from a core file. - Move reference counters at least for mbuf clusters into an unused portion of the cluster itself, to save space and need to allocate a counter. - Look into introducing resource freeing possibly from a kproc.

o Introduce new m_getcl() interface routine that allocates an mbuf and a cluster in one shot. o Introduce MBP_PERSIST and MBP_PERSISTENT control bits to mb_alloc(); MBP_PERSIST means "if you can allocate, then keep the cache lock held on exit," and MBP_PERSISTENT means "a cache lock is alredy held on entry, so allocate from the specified (already locked) cache." They may be used in combination. o m_getcl() uses the MBP_PERSIST/MBP_PERSISTENT interface so that it doesn't drop the cache lock in between the mbuf and cluster allocations. o m_getm(), which takes a size and allocates an mbuf + cluster "best fit" chain, has been moved from uipc_mbuf.c to subr_mbuf.c and shown how to use MBP_PERSIST/MBP_PERSISTENT to attempt to do a grouped allocation without dropping the cache lock in between. Why this is good: much less bus-locked lock acquires/drops when they're not needed. Also, prototype for m_getcl(): struct mbuf * m_getcl(int how, short type, int flags); "how" and "type" are self-explanatory. "flags" may be M_PKTHDR, in which case m_getcl() will make the mbuf a pkthdr-mbuf. While I'm in subr_mbuf.c: o Every exported routine now has a nice comment with a description of the expected arguments. Eventually, mbuf(9) needs to be re-vamped but there's still more code to write/finalize before I get to that. o internal macros have been changed a bit. o consistently use 'short' for "type." This somehow slipped through before (that 'type' was sometimes declared as int). Alfred has been pushing for the MBP_PERSIST{,ENT} thing for almost a year now. Luigi asked for m_getcl(), and will probably MFC that part of this commit. TODO [Related]: teach mb_free() about MBP_PERSIST{, ENT}.

Namely, introduce a modified allocation mechanism for mbufs and mbuf clusters; one which can scale under SMP and which offers the possibility of resource reclamation to be implemented in the future.

Notable advantages: o Reduce contention for SMP by offering per-CPU pools and locks. o Better use of data cache due to per-CPU pools. o Much less code cache pollution due to excessively large allocation macros. o Framework for `grouping' objects from same page together so as to be able to possibly free wired-down pages back to the system if they are no longer needed by the network stacks. Additional things changed with this addition: - Moved some mbuf specific declarations and initializations from sys/conf/param.c into mbuf-specific code where they belong. - m_getclr() has been renamed to m_get_clrd() because the old name is really confusing. m_getclr() HAS been preserved though and is defined to the new name. No tree sweep has been done "to change the interface," as the old name will continue to be supported and is not depracated. The change was merely done because m_getclr() sounds too much like "m_get a cluster." - TEMPORARILY disabled mbtypes statistics displaying in netstat(1) and systat(1) (see TODO below). - Fixed systat(1) to display number of "free mbufs" based on new per-CPU stat structures. - Fixed netstat(1) to display new per-CPU stats based on sysctl-exported per-CPU stat structures. All infos are fetched via sysctl. TODO (in order of priority): - Re-enable mbtypes statistics in both netstat(1) and systat(1) after introducing an SMP friendly way to collect the mbtypes stats under the already introduced per-CPU locks (i.e. hopefully don't use atomic() - it seems too costly for a mere stat update, especially when other locks are already present). - Optionally have systat(1) display not only "total free mbufs" but also "total free mbufs per CPU pool." - Fix minor length-fetching issues in netstat(1) related to recently re-enabled option to read mbuf stats from a core file. - Move reference counters at least for mbuf clusters into an unused portion of the cluster itself, to save space and need to allocate a counter. - Look into introducing resource freeing possibly from a kproc.

Introduce numerous SMP friendly changes to the mbuf allocator. Namely, introduce a modified allocation mechanism for mbufs and mbuf clusters; one which can scale under SMP and which offers the possibility of resource reclamation to be implemented in the future. Notable advantages: o Reduce contention for SMP by offering per-CPU pools and locks. o Better use of data cache due to per-CPU pools. o Much less code cache pollution due to excessively large allocation macros. o Framework for `grouping' objects from same page together so as to be able to possibly free wired-down pages back to the system if they are no longer needed by the network stacks. Additional things changed with this addition: - Moved some mbuf specific declarations and initializations from sys/conf/param.c into mbuf-specific code where they belong. - m_getclr() has been renamed to m_get_clrd() because the old name is really confusing. m_getclr() HAS been preserved though and is defined to the new name. No tree sweep has been done "to change the interface," as the old name will continue to be supported and is not depracated. The change was merely done because m_getclr() sounds too much like "m_get a cluster." - TEMPORARILY disabled mbtypes statistics displaying in netstat(1) and systat(1) (see TODO below). - Fixed systat(1) to display number of "free mbufs" based on new per-CPU stat structures. - Fixed netstat(1) to display new per-CPU stats based on sysctl-exported per-CPU stat structures. All infos are fetched via sysctl. TODO (in order of priority): - Re-enable mbtypes statistics in both netstat(1) and systat(1) after introducing an SMP friendly way to collect the mbtypes stats under the already introduced per-CPU locks (i.e. hopefully don't use atomic() - it seems too costly for a mere stat update, especially when other locks are already present). - Optionally have systat(1) display not only "total free mbufs" but also "total free mbufs per CPU pool." - Fix minor length-fetching issues in netstat(1) related to recently re-enabled option to read mbuf stats from a core file. - Move reference counters at least for mbuf clusters into an unused portion of the cluster itself, to save space and need to allocate a counter. - Look into introducing resource freeing possibly from a kproc.

o Introduce new m_getcl() interface routine that allocates an mbuf and a cluster in one shot. o Introduce MBP_PERSIST and MBP_PERSISTENT control bits to mb_alloc(); MBP_PERSIST means "if you can allocate, then keep the cache lock held on exit," and MBP_PERSISTENT means "a cache lock is alredy held on entry, so allocate from the specified (already locked) cache." They may be used in combination. o m_getcl() uses the MBP_PERSIST/MBP_PERSISTENT interface so that it doesn't drop the cache lock in between the mbuf and cluster allocations. o m_getm(), which takes a size and allocates an mbuf + cluster "best fit" chain, has been moved from uipc_mbuf.c to subr_mbuf.c and shown how to use MBP_PERSIST/MBP_PERSISTENT to attempt to do a grouped allocation without dropping the cache lock in between. Why this is good: much less bus-locked lock acquires/drops when they're not needed. Also, prototype for m_getcl(): struct mbuf * m_getcl(int how, short type, int flags); "how" and "type" are self-explanatory. "flags" may be M_PKTHDR, in which case m_getcl() will make the mbuf a pkthdr-mbuf. While I'm in subr_mbuf.c: o Every exported routine now has a nice comment with a description of the expected arguments. Eventually, mbuf(9) needs to be re-vamped but there's still more code to write/finalize before I get to that. o internal macros have been changed a bit. o consistently use 'short' for "type." This somehow slipped through before (that 'type' was sometimes declared as int). Alfred has been pushing for the MBP_PERSIST{,ENT} thing for almost a year now. Luigi asked for m_getcl(), and will probably MFC that part of this commit. TODO [Related]: teach mb_free() about MBP_PERSIST{, ENT}.

Notable advantages: o Reduce contention for SMP by offering per-CPU pools and locks. o Better use of data cache due to per-CPU pools. o Much less code cache pollution due to excessively large allocation macros. o Framework for `grouping' objects from same page together so as to be able to possibly free wired-down pages back to the system if they are no longer needed by the network stacks. Additional things changed with this addition: - Moved some mbuf specific declarations and initializations from sys/conf/param.c into mbuf-specific code where they belong. - m_getclr() has been renamed to m_get_clrd() because the old name is really confusing. m_getclr() HAS been preserved though and is defined to the new name. No tree sweep has been done "to change the interface," as the old name will continue to be supported and is not depracated. The change was merely done because m_getclr() sounds too much like "m_get a cluster." - TEMPORARILY disabled mbtypes statistics displaying in netstat(1) and systat(1) (see TODO below). - Fixed systat(1) to display number of "free mbufs" based on new per-CPU stat structures. - Fixed netstat(1) to display new per-CPU stats based on sysctl-exported per-CPU stat structures. All infos are fetched via sysctl. TODO (in order of priority): - Re-enable mbtypes statistics in both netstat(1) and systat(1) after introducing an SMP friendly way to collect the mbtypes stats under the already introduced per-CPU locks (i.e. hopefully don't use atomic() - it seems too costly for a mere stat update, especially when other locks are already present). - Optionally have systat(1) display not only "total free mbufs" but also "total free mbufs per CPU pool." - Fix minor length-fetching issues in netstat(1) related to recently re-enabled option to read mbuf stats from a core file. - Move reference counters at least for mbuf clusters into an unused portion of the cluster itself, to save space and need to allocate a counter. - Look into introducing resource freeing possibly from a kproc.

Notable advantages: o Reduce contention for SMP by offering per-CPU pools and locks. o Better use of data cache due to per-CPU pools. o Much less code cache pollution due to excessively large allocation macros. o Framework for `grouping' objects from same page together so as to be able to possibly free wired-down pages back to the system if they are no longer needed by the network stacks. Additional things changed with this addition: - Moved some mbuf specific declarations and initializations from sys/conf/param.c into mbuf-specific code where they belong. - m_getclr() has been renamed to m_get_clrd() because the old name is really confusing. m_getclr() HAS been preserved though and is defined to the new name. No tree sweep has been done "to change the interface," as the old name will continue to be supported and is not depracated.

Fix a potential bucket leak where when freeing to an empty bucket we failed to put the bucket back into the general cache/container. Also, fix a bad assumption. There was a KASSERT() that aimed to guarantee that whenever the pcpu container's mc_starved was > 0, that whatever the bucket we were freeing to was an empty bucket, assuming it belonged to the pcpu container cache. However, there is at least one case where this is not true anymore; consider: 1) All containers empty, next thread to try to alloc will touch a pcpu container, notice it's empty, and increment the pcpu container's mc_starved. 2) Some other thread frees an mbuf belonging to a bucket in the general cache/container. Then it frees another mbuf belonging to the same bucket (still in gen container). 3) Some third thread tries to allocate an mbuf from the pcpu container and, since empty, grabs one mbuf now available in the general cache and moves the non-empty bucket from which it took 1 mbuf and to which the thread in (2) freed to, and moves it to the pcpu container. 4) A final thread tries to free an mbuf belonging to the NON-EMPTY bucket mentionned in (2) and (3) and, since the pcpu container's mc_starved is > 0, but the bucket is obviously non-empty, it trips on the KASSERT. This meant that one could potentially get a panic in some cases when out of mbufs and clusters. The problem could be mitigated by commenting out some cv_signal() calls, but I'm assuming that was pure coincidence and this is the correct fix.

Fix a potential bucket leak where when freeing to an empty bucket we failed to put the bucket back into the general cache/container. Also, fix a bad assumption. There was a KASSERT() that aimed to guarantee that whenever the pcpu container's mc_starved was > 0, that whatever the bucket we were freeing to was an empty bucket, assuming it belonged to the pcpu container cache. However, there is at least one case where this is not true anymore; consider: 1) All containers empty, next thread to try to alloc will touch a pcpu container, notice it's empty, and increment the pcpu container's mc_starved. 2) Some other thread frees an mbuf belonging to a bucket in the general cache/container. Then it frees another mbuf belonging to the same bucket (still in gen container). 3) Some third thread tries to allocate an mbuf from the pcpu container and, since empty, grabs one mbuf now available in the general cache and moves the non-empty bucket from which it took 1 mbuf and to which the thread in (2) freed to, and moves it to the pcpu container. 4) A final thread tries to free an mbuf belonging to the NON-EMPTY bucket mentionned in (2) and (3) and, since the pcpu container's mc_starved is > 0, but the bucket is obviously non-empty, it trips on the KASSERT. This meant that one could potentially get a panic in some cases when out of mbufs and clusters. The problem could be mitigated by commenting out some cv_signal() calls, but I'm assuming that was pure coincidence and this is the correct fix.

Introduce numerous SMP friendly changes to the mbuf allocator. Namely, introduce a modified allocation mechanism for mbufs and mbuf clusters; one which can scale under SMP and which offers the possibility of resource reclamation to be implemented in the future. Notable advantages: o Reduce contention for SMP by offering per-CPU pools and locks. o Better use of data cache due to per-CPU pools. o Much less code cache pollution due to excessively large allocation macros. o Framework for `grouping' objects from same page together so as to be able to possibly free wired-down pages back to the system if they are no longer needed by the network stacks. Additional things changed with this addition: - Moved some mbuf specific declarations and initializations from sys/conf/param.c into mbuf-specific code where they belong. - m_getclr() has been renamed to m_get_clrd() because the old name is really confusing. m_getclr() HAS been preserved though and is defined to the new name.

Introduce numerous SMP friendly changes to the mbuf allocator. Namely, introduce a modified allocation mechanism for mbufs and mbuf clusters; one which can scale under SMP and which offers the possibility of resource reclamation to be implemented in the future. Notable advantages: o Reduce contention for SMP by offering per-CPU pools and locks. o Better use of data cache due to per-CPU pools. o Much less code cache pollution due to excessively large allocation macros. o Framework for `grouping' objects from same page together so as to be able to possibly free wired-down pages back to the system if they are no longer needed by the network stacks. Additional things changed with this addition: - Moved some mbuf specific declarations and initializations from sys/conf/param.c into mbuf-specific code where they belong. - m_getclr() has been renamed to m_get_clrd() because the old name is really confusing. m_getclr() HAS been preserved though and is defined to the new name. No tree sweep has been done "to change the interface," as the old name will continue to be supported and is not depracated. The change was merely done because m_getclr() sounds too much like "m_get a cluster." - TEMPORARILY disabled mbtypes statistics displaying in netstat(1) and systat(1) (see TODO below). - Fixed systat(1) to display number of "free mbufs" based on new per-CPU stat structures. - Fixed netstat(1) to display new per-CPU stats based on sysctl-exported per-CPU stat structures.

TODO (in order of priority): - Re-enable mbtypes statistics in both netstat(1) and systat(1) after introducing an SMP friendly way to collect the mbtypes stats under the already introduced per-CPU locks (i.e. hopefully don't use atomic() - it seems too costly for a mere stat update, especially when other locks are already present). - Optionally have systat(1) display not only "total free mbufs" but also "total free mbufs per CPU pool." - Fix minor length-fetching issues in netstat(1) related to recently re-enabled option to read mbuf stats from a core file. - Move reference counters at least for mbuf clusters into an unused portion of the cluster itself, to save space and need to allocate a counter. - Look into introducing resource freeing possibly from a kproc.

struct mbuf *
o Introduce new m_getcl() interface routine that allocates an mbuf and a cluster in one shot. o Introduce MBP_PERSIST and MBP_PERSISTENT control bits to mb_alloc(); MBP_PERSIST means "if you can allocate, then keep the cache lock held on exit," and MBP_PERSISTENT means "a cache lock is alredy held on entry, so allocate from the specified (already locked) cache." They may be used in combination. o m_getcl() uses the MBP_PERSIST/MBP_PERSISTENT interface so that it doesn't drop the cache lock in between the mbuf and cluster allocations. o m_getm(), which takes a size and allocates an mbuf + cluster "best fit" chain, has been moved from uipc_mbuf.c to subr_mbuf.c and shown how to use MBP_PERSIST/MBP_PERSISTENT to attempt to do a grouped allocation without dropping the cache lock in between. Why this is good: much less bus-locked lock acquires/drops when they're not needed. Also, prototype for m_getcl(): struct mbuf * m_getcl(int how, short type, int flags); "how" and "type" are self-explanatory. "flags" may be M_PKTHDR, in which case m_getcl() will make the mbuf a pkthdr-mbuf. While I'm in subr_mbuf.c: o Every exported routine now has a nice comment with a description of the expected arguments. Eventually, mbuf(9) needs to be re-vamped but there's still more code to write/finalize before I get to that. o internal macros have been changed a bit. o consistently use 'short' for "type." This somehow slipped through before (that 'type' was sometimes declared as int). Alfred has been pushing for the MBP_PERSIST{,ENT} thing for almost a year now. Luigi asked for m_getcl(), and will probably MFC that part of this commit. TODO [Related]: teach mb_free() about MBP_PERSIST{, ENT}.

Introduce numerous SMP friendly changes to the mbuf allocator. Namely, introduce a modified allocation mechanism for mbufs and mbuf clusters; one which can scale under SMP and which offers the possibility of resource reclamation to be implemented in the future. Notable advantages: o Reduce contention for SMP by offering per-CPU pools and locks. o Better use of data cache due to per-CPU pools. o Much less code cache pollution due to excessively large allocation macros. o Framework for `grouping' objects from same page together so as to be able to possibly free wired-down pages back to the system if they are no longer needed by the network stacks. Additional things changed with this addition: - Moved some mbuf specific declarations and initializations from sys/conf/param.c into mbuf-specific code where they belong. - m_getclr() has been renamed to m_get_clrd() because the old name is really confusing. m_getclr() HAS been preserved though and is defined to the new name. No tree sweep has been done "to change the interface," as the old name will continue to be supported and is not depracated. The change was merely done because m_getclr() sounds too much like "m_get a cluster." - TEMPORARILY disabled mbtypes statistics displaying in netstat(1) and systat(1) (see TODO below). - Fixed systat(1) to display number of "free mbufs" based on new per-CPU stat structures. - Fixed netstat(1) to display new per-CPU stats based on sysctl-exported per-CPU stat structures. All infos are fetched via sysctl. TODO (in order of priority): - Re-enable mbtypes statistics in both netstat(1) and systat(1) after introducing an SMP friendly way to collect the mbtypes stats under the already introduced per-CPU locks (i.e. hopefully don't use atomic() - it seems too costly for a mere stat update, especially when other locks are already present). - Optionally have systat(1) display not only "total free mbufs" but also "total free mbufs per CPU pool." - Fix minor length-fetching issues in netstat(1) related to recently re-enabled option to read mbuf stats from a core file. - Move reference counters at least for mbuf clusters into an unused portion of the cluster itself, to save space and need to allocate a counter. - Look into introducing resource freeing possibly from a kproc.

Move MAC label storage for mbufs into m_tags from the m_pkthdr structure, returning some additional room in the first mbuf in a chain, and avoiding feature-specific contents in the mbuf header. To do this: - Modify mbuf_to_label() to extract the tag, returning NULL if not found. - Introduce mac_init_mbuf_tag() which does most of the work mac_init_mbuf() used to do, except on an m_tag rather than an mbuf. - Scale back mac_init_mbuf() to perform m_tag allocation and invoke mac_init_mbuf_tag(). - Replace mac_destroy_mbuf() with mac_destroy_mbuf_tag(), since m_tag's are now GC'd deep in the m_tag/mbuf code rather than at a higher level when mbufs are directly free()'d. - Add mac_copy_mbuf_tag() to support m_copy_pkthdr() and related notions. - Generally change all references to mbuf labels so that they use mbuf_to_label() rather than &mbuf->m_pkthdr.label. This required no changes in the MAC policies (yay!). - Tweak mbuf release routines to not call mac_destroy_mbuf(), tag destruction takes care of it for us now. - Remove MAC magic from m_copy_pkthdr() and m_move_pkthdr() -- the existing m_tag support does all this for us. Note that we can no longer just zero the m_tag list on the target mbuf, rather, we have to delete the chain because m_tag's will already be hung off freshly allocated mbuf's. - Tweak m_tag copying routines so that if we're copying a MAC m_tag, we don't do a binary copy, rather, we initialize the new storage and do a deep copy of the label. - Remove use of MAC_FLAG_INITIALIZED in a few bizarre places having to do with mbuf header copies previously. - When an mbuf is copied in ip_input(), we no longer need to explicitly copy the label because it will get handled by the m_tag code now. - No longer any weird handling of MAC labels in if_loop.c during header copies. - Add MPC_LOADTIME_FLAG_LABELMBUFS flag to Biba, MLS, mac_test. In mac_test, handle the label==NULL case, since it can be dynamically loaded. In order to improve performance with this change, introduce the notion of "lazy MAC label allocation" -- only allocate m_tag storage for MAC labels if we're running with a policy that uses MAC labels on mbufs. Policies declare this intent by setting the MPC_LOADTIME_FLAG_LABELMBUFS flag in their load-time flags field during declaration. Note: this opens up the possibility of post-boot policy modules getting back NULL slot entries even though they have policy invariants of non-NULL slot entries, as the policy might have been loaded after the mbuf was allocated, leaving the mbuf without label storage. Policies that cannot handle this case must be declared as NOTLATE, or must be modified. - mac_labelmbufs holds the current cumulative status as to whether any policies require mbuf labeling or not. This is updated whenever the active policy set changes by the function mac_policy_updateflags(). The function iterates the list and checks whether any have the flag set. Write access to this variable is protected by the policy list; read access is currently not protected for performance reasons. This might change if it causes problems. - Add MAC_POLICY_LIST_ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE() to permit the flags update function to assert appropriate locks. - This makes allocation in mac_init_mbuf() conditional on the flag.

Introduce numerous SMP friendly changes to the mbuf allocator. Namely, introduce a modified allocation mechanism for mbufs and mbuf clusters; one which can scale under SMP and which offers the possibility of resource reclamation to be implemented in the future. Notable advantages: o Reduce contention for SMP by offering per-CPU pools and locks. o Better use of data cache due to per-CPU pools. o Much less code cache pollution due to excessively large allocation macros. o Framework for `grouping' objects from same page together so as to be able to possibly free wired-down pages back to the system if they are no longer needed by the network stacks. Additional things changed with this addition: - Moved some mbuf specific declarations and initializations from sys/conf/param.c into mbuf-specific code where they belong. - m_getclr() has been renamed to m_get_clrd() because the old name is really confusing. m_getclr() HAS been preserved though and is defined to the new name. No tree sweep has been done "to change the interface," as the old name will continue to be supported and is not depracated. The change was merely done because m_getclr() sounds too much like "m_get a cluster." - TEMPORARILY disabled mbtypes statistics displaying in netstat(1) and systat(1) (see TODO below). - Fixed systat(1) to display number of "free mbufs" based on new per-CPU stat structures. - Fixed netstat(1) to display new per-CPU stats based on sysctl-exported per-CPU stat structures.

Move MAC label storage for mbufs into m_tags from the m_pkthdr structure, returning some additional room in the first mbuf in a chain, and avoiding feature-specific contents in the mbuf header. To do this: - Modify mbuf_to_label() to extract the tag, returning NULL if not found. - Introduce mac_init_mbuf_tag() which does most of the work mac_init_mbuf() used to do, except on an m_tag rather than an mbuf. - Scale back mac_init_mbuf() to perform m_tag allocation and invoke mac_init_mbuf_tag(). - Replace mac_destroy_mbuf() with mac_destroy_mbuf_tag(), since m_tag's are now GC'd deep in the m_tag/mbuf code rather than at a higher level when mbufs are directly free()'d. - Add mac_copy_mbuf_tag() to support m_copy_pkthdr() and related notions. - Generally change all references to mbuf labels so that they use mbuf_to_label() rather than &mbuf->m_pkthdr.label. This required no changes in the MAC policies (yay!). - Tweak mbuf release routines to not call mac_destroy_mbuf(), tag destruction takes care of it for us now. - Remove MAC magic from m_copy_pkthdr() and m_move_pkthdr() -- the existing m_tag support does all this for us. Note that we can no longer just zero the m_tag list on the target mbuf, rather, we have to delete the chain because m_tag's will already be hung off freshly allocated mbuf's. - Tweak m_tag copying routines so that if we're copying a MAC m_tag, we don't do a binary copy, rather, we initialize the new storage and do a deep copy of the label. - Remove use of MAC_FLAG_INITIALIZED in a few bizarre places having to do with mbuf header copies previously. - When an mbuf is copied in ip_input(), we no longer need to explicitly copy the label because it will get handled by the m_tag code now. - No longer any weird handling of MAC labels in if_loop.c during header copies. - Add MPC_LOADTIME_FLAG_LABELMBUFS flag to Biba, MLS, mac_test. In mac_test, handle the label==NULL case, since it can be dynamically loaded. In order to improve performance with this change, introduce the notion of "lazy MAC label allocation" -- only allocate m_tag storage for MAC labels if we're running with a policy that uses MAC labels on mbufs. Policies declare this intent by setting the MPC_LOADTIME_FLAG_LABELMBUFS flag in their load-time flags field during declaration. Note: this opens up the possibility of post-boot policy modules getting back NULL slot entries even though they have policy invariants of non-NULL slot entries, as the policy might have been loaded after the mbuf was allocated, leaving the mbuf without label storage. Policies that cannot handle this case must be declared as NOTLATE, or must be modified. - mac_labelmbufs holds the current cumulative status as to whether any policies require mbuf labeling or not. This is updated whenever the active policy set changes by the function mac_policy_updateflags(). The function iterates the list and checks whether any have the flag set. Write access to this variable is protected by the policy list; read access is currently not protected for performance reasons. This might change if it causes problems. - Add MAC_POLICY_LIST_ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE() to permit the flags update function to assert appropriate locks. - This makes allocation in mac_init_mbuf() conditional on the flag.

Notable advantages: o Reduce contention for SMP by offering per-CPU pools and locks. o Better use of data cache due to per-CPU pools. o Much less code cache pollution due to excessively large allocation macros. o Framework for `grouping' objects from same page together so as to be able to possibly free wired-down pages back to the system if they are no longer needed by the network stacks. Additional things changed with this addition: - Moved some mbuf specific declarations and initializations from sys/conf/param.c into mbuf-specific code where they belong. - m_getclr() has been renamed to m_get_clrd() because the old name is really confusing. m_getclr() HAS been preserved though and is defined to the new name. No tree sweep has been done "to change the interface," as the old name will continue to be supported and is not depracated. The change was merely done because m_getclr() sounds too much like "m_get a cluster." - TEMPORARILY disabled mbtypes statistics displaying in netstat(1) and systat(1) (see TODO below). - Fixed systat(1) to display number of "free mbufs" based on new per-CPU stat structures. - Fixed netstat(1) to display new per-CPU stats based on sysctl-exported per-CPU stat structures. All infos are fetched via sysctl. TODO (in order of priority): - Re-enable mbtypes statistics in both netstat(1) and systat(1) after introducing an SMP friendly way to collect the mbtypes stats under the already introduced per-CPU locks (i.e. hopefully don't use atomic() - it seems too costly for a mere stat update, especially when other locks are already present). - Optionally have systat(1) display not only "total free mbufs" but also "total free mbufs per CPU pool." - Fix minor length-fetching issues in netstat(1) related to recently re-enabled option to read mbuf stats from a core file. - Move reference counters at least for mbuf clusters into an unused portion of the cluster itself, to save space and need to allocate a counter. - Look into introducing resource freeing possibly from a kproc.

#ifdef MAC
Move MAC label storage for mbufs into m_tags from the m_pkthdr structure, returning some additional room in the first mbuf in a chain, and avoiding feature-specific contents in the mbuf header. To do this: - Modify mbuf_to_label() to extract the tag, returning NULL if not found. - Introduce mac_init_mbuf_tag() which does most of the work mac_init_mbuf() used to do, except on an m_tag rather than an mbuf. - Scale back mac_init_mbuf() to perform m_tag allocation and invoke mac_init_mbuf_tag(). - Replace mac_destroy_mbuf() with mac_destroy_mbuf_tag(), since m_tag's are now GC'd deep in the m_tag/mbuf code rather than at a higher level when mbufs are directly free()'d. - Add mac_copy_mbuf_tag() to support m_copy_pkthdr() and related notions. - Generally change all references to mbuf labels so that they use mbuf_to_label() rather than &mbuf->m_pkthdr.label. This required no changes in the MAC policies (yay!). - Tweak mbuf release routines to not call mac_destroy_mbuf(), tag destruction takes care of it for us now. - Remove MAC magic from m_copy_pkthdr() and m_move_pkthdr() -- the existing m_tag support does all this for us. Note that we can no longer just zero the m_tag list on the target mbuf, rather, we have to delete the chain because m_tag's will already be hung off freshly allocated mbuf's. - Tweak m_tag copying routines so that if we're copying a MAC m_tag, we don't do a binary copy, rather, we initialize the new storage and do a deep copy of the label. - Remove use of MAC_FLAG_INITIALIZED in a few bizarre places having to do with mbuf header copies previously. - When an mbuf is copied in ip_input(), we no longer need to explicitly copy the label because it will get handled by the m_tag code now. - No longer any weird handling of MAC labels in if_loop.c during header copies. - Add MPC_LOADTIME_FLAG_LABELMBUFS flag to Biba, MLS, mac_test. In mac_test, handle the label==NULL case, since it can be dynamically loaded. In order to improve performance with this change, introduce the notion of "lazy MAC label allocation" -- only allocate m_tag storage for MAC labels if we're running with a policy that uses MAC labels on mbufs. Policies declare this intent by setting the MPC_LOADTIME_FLAG_LABELMBUFS flag in their load-time flags field during declaration. Note: this opens up the possibility of post-boot policy modules getting back NULL slot entries even though they have policy invariants of non-NULL slot entries, as the policy might have been loaded after the mbuf was allocated, leaving the mbuf without label storage. Policies that cannot handle this case must be declared as NOTLATE, or must be modified. - mac_labelmbufs holds the current cumulative status as to whether any policies require mbuf labeling or not. This is updated whenever the active policy set changes by the function mac_policy_updateflags(). The function iterates the list and checks whether any have the flag set. Write access to this variable is protected by the policy list; read access is currently not protected for performance reasons. This might change if it causes problems. - Add MAC_POLICY_LIST_ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE() to permit the flags update function to assert appropriate locks. - This makes allocation in mac_init_mbuf() conditional on the flag.

They may be used in combination. o m_getcl() uses the MBP_PERSIST/MBP_PERSISTENT interface so that it doesn't drop the cache lock in between the mbuf and cluster allocations. o m_getm(), which takes a size and allocates an mbuf + cluster "best fit" chain, has been moved from uipc_mbuf.c to subr_mbuf.c and shown how to use MBP_PERSIST/MBP_PERSISTENT to attempt to do a grouped allocation without dropping the cache lock in between. Why this is good: much less bus-locked lock acquires/drops when they're not needed. Also, prototype for m_getcl(): struct mbuf * m_getcl(int how, short type, int flags); "how" and "type" are self-explanatory. "flags" may be M_PKTHDR, in which case m_getcl() will make the mbuf a pkthdr-mbuf. While I'm in subr_mbuf.c: o Every exported routine now has a nice comment with a description of the expected arguments. Eventually, mbuf(9) needs to be re-vamped but there's still more code to write/finalize before I get to that. o internal macros have been changed a bit. o consistently use 'short' for "type." This somehow slipped through before (that 'type' was sometimes declared as int). Alfred has been pushing for the MBP_PERSIST{,ENT} thing for almost a year now. Luigi asked for m_getcl(), and will probably MFC that part of this commit. TODO [Related]: teach mb_free() about MBP_PERSIST{, ENT}.

/*
* Configure a provided mbuf to refer to the provided external storage
* buffer and setup a reference count for said buffer. If the setting
* up of the reference count fails, the M_EXT bit will not be set. If
* successfull, the M_EXT bit is set in the mbuf's flags.
*
* Arguments:
* - mb: the existing mbuf to which to attach the provided buffer.
* - buf: the address of the provided external storage buffer.
* - size: the size of the provided buffer.
* - freef: a pointer to a routine that is responsible for freeing the
* provided external storage buffer.
* - args: a pointer to an argument structure (of any type) to be passed
* to the provided freef routine (may be NULL).
* - flags: any other flags to be passed to the provided mbuf.
* - type: the type that the external storage buffer should be labeled with.

Introduce numerous SMP friendly changes to the mbuf allocator. Namely, introduce a modified allocation mechanism for mbufs and mbuf clusters; one which can scale under SMP and which offers the possibility of resource reclamation to be implemented in the future. Notable advantages: o Reduce contention for SMP by offering per-CPU pools and locks. o Better use of data cache due to per-CPU pools. o Much less code cache pollution due to excessively large allocation macros. o Framework for `grouping' objects from same page together so as to be able to possibly free wired-down pages back to the system if they are no longer needed by the network stacks. Additional things changed with this addition: - Moved some mbuf specific declarations and initializations from sys/conf/param.c into mbuf-specific code where they belong. - m_getclr() has been renamed to m_get_clrd() because the old name is really confusing. m_getclr() HAS been preserved though and is defined to the new name. No tree sweep has been done "to change the interface," as the old name will continue to be supported and is not depracated. The change was merely done because m_getclr() sounds too much like "m_get a cluster." - TEMPORARILY disabled mbtypes statistics displaying in netstat(1) and systat(1) (see TODO below). - Fixed systat(1) to display number of "free mbufs" based on new per-CPU stat structures. - Fixed netstat(1) to display new per-CPU stats based on sysctl-exported per-CPU stat structures. All infos are fetched via sysctl. TODO (in order of priority): - Re-enable mbtypes statistics in both netstat(1) and systat(1) after introducing an SMP friendly way to collect the mbtypes stats under the already introduced per-CPU locks (i.e. hopefully don't use atomic() - it seems too costly for a mere stat update, especially when other locks are already present). - Optionally have systat(1) display not only "total free mbufs" but also "total free mbufs per CPU pool." - Fix minor length-fetching issues in netstat(1) related to recently re-enabled option to read mbuf stats from a core file. - Move reference counters at least for mbuf clusters into an unused portion of the cluster itself, to save space and need to allocate a counter. - Look into introducing resource freeing possibly from a kproc.
