/*
It is 2014 and we have a new version of netmap. Most relevant features: - netmap emulation on any NIC, even those without native netmap support. On the ixgbe we have measured about 4Mpps/core/queue in this mode, which is still a lot more than with sockets/bpf. - seamless interconnection of VALE switch, NICs and host stack. If you disable accelerations on your NIC (say em0) ifconfig em0 -txcsum -txcsum you can use the VALE switch to connect the NIC and the host stack: vale-ctl -h valeXX:em0 allowing sharing the NIC with other netmap clients. - THE USER API HAS SLIGHTLY CHANGED (head/cur/tail pointers instead of pointers/count as before). This was unavoidable to support, in the future, multiple threads operating on the same rings. Netmap clients require very small source code changes to compile again. On the plus side, the new API should be easier to understand and the internals are a lot simpler. The manual page has been updated extensively to reflect the current features and give some examples. This is the result of work of several people including Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, Michio Honda and myself, and has been financially supported by EU projects CHANGE and OPENLAB, from NetApp University Research Fund, NEC, and of course the Universita` di Pisa.

* This module implements netmap support on top of standard,
* unmodified device drivers.
*
* A NIOCREGIF request is handled here if the device does not
* have native support. TX and RX rings are emulated as follows:
*
* NIOCREGIF
* We preallocate a block of TX mbufs (roughly as many as
* tx descriptors; the number is not critical) to speed up
* operation during transmissions. The refcount on most of
* these buffers is artificially bumped up so we can recycle
* them more easily. Also, the destructor is intercepted
* so we use it as an interrupt notification to wake up
* processes blocked on a poll().
*
* For each receive ring we allocate one "struct mbq"
* (an mbuf tailq plus a spinlock). We intercept packets
* (through if_input)
* on the receive path and put them in the mbq from which
* netmap receive routines can grab them.
*
* TX:
* in the generic_txsync() routine, netmap buffers are copied
* (or linked, in a future) to the preallocated mbufs
* and pushed to the transmit queue. Some of these mbufs
* (those with NS_REPORT, or otherwise every half ring)
* have the refcount=1, others have refcount=2.
* When the destructor is invoked, we take that as
* a notification that all mbufs up to that one in
* the specific ring have been completed, and generate
* the equivalent of a transmit interrupt.

* RX:

#define MBUF_TXQ(m) ((m)->m_pkthdr.flowid)
This new version of netmap brings you the following: - netmap pipes, providing bidirectional blocking I/O while moving 100+ Mpps between processes using shared memory channels (no mistake: over one hundred million. But mind you, i said *moving* not *processing*); - kqueue support (BHyVe needs it); - improved user library. Just the interface name lets you select a NIC, host port, VALE switch port, netmap pipe, and individual queues. The upcoming netmap-enabled libpcap will use this feature. - optional extra buffers associated to netmap ports, for applications that need to buffer data yet don't want to make copies. - segmentation offloading for the VALE switch, useful between VMs. and a number of bug fixes and performance improvements. My colleagues Giuseppe Lettieri and Vincenzo Maffione did a substantial amount of work on these features so we owe them a big thanks. There are some external repositories that can be of interest: https://code.google.com/p/netmap our public repository for netmap/VALE code, including linux versions and other stuff that does not belong here, such as python bindings. https://code.google.com/p/netmap-libpcap a clone of the libpcap repository with netmap support. With this any libpcap client has access to most netmap feature with no recompilation. E.g. tcpdump can filter packets at 10-15 Mpps. https://code.google.com/p/netmap-ipfw a userspace version of ipfw+dummynet which uses netmap to send/receive packets. Speed is up in the 7-10 Mpps range per core for simple rulesets. Both netmap-libpcap and netmap-ipfw will be merged upstream at some point, but while this happens it is useful to have access to them. And yes, this code will be merged soon. It is infinitely better than the version currently in 10 and 9. MFC after: 3 days

Update to the current version of netmap. Mostly bugfixes or features developed in the past 6 months, so this is a 10.1 candidate. Basically no user API changes (some bugfixes in sys/net/netmap_user.h). In detail: 1. netmap support for virtio-net, including in netmap mode. Under bhyve and with a netmap backend [2] we reach over 1Mpps with standard APIs (e.g. libpcap), and 5-8 Mpps in netmap mode. 2. (kernel) add support for multiple memory allocators, so we can better partition physical and virtual interfaces giving access to separate users. The most visible effect is one additional argument to the various kernel functions to compute buffer addresses. All netmap-supported drivers are affected, but changes are mechanical and trivial 3. (kernel) simplify the prototype for *txsync() and *rxsync() driver methods. All netmap drivers affected, changes mostly mechanical. 4. add support for netmap-monitor ports. Think of it as a mirroring port on a physical switch: a netmap monitor port replicates traffic present on the main port. Restrictions apply. Drive carefully. 5. if_lem.c: support for various paravirtualization features, experimental and disabled by default. Most of these are described in our ANCS'13 paper [1]. Paravirtualized support in netmap mode is new, and beats the numbers in the paper by a large factor (under qemu-kvm, we measured gues-host throughput up to 10-12 Mpps). A lot of refactoring and additional documentation in the files in sys/dev/netmap, but apart from #2 and #3 above, almost nothing of this stuff is visible to other kernel parts. Example programs in tools/tools/netmap have been updated with bugfixes and to support more of the existing features. This is meant to go into 10.1 so we plan an MFC before the Aug.22 deadline. A lot of this code has been contributed by my colleagues at UNIPI, including Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, Stefano Garzarella. MFC after: 3 days.

Update to the current version of netmap. Mostly bugfixes or features developed in the past 6 months, so this is a 10.1 candidate. Basically no user API changes (some bugfixes in sys/net/netmap_user.h). In detail: 1. netmap support for virtio-net, including in netmap mode. Under bhyve and with a netmap backend [2] we reach over 1Mpps with standard APIs (e.g. libpcap), and 5-8 Mpps in netmap mode. 2. (kernel) add support for multiple memory allocators, so we can better partition physical and virtual interfaces giving access to separate users. The most visible effect is one additional argument to the various kernel functions to compute buffer addresses. All netmap-supported drivers are affected, but changes are mechanical and trivial 3. (kernel) simplify the prototype for *txsync() and *rxsync() driver methods. All netmap drivers affected, changes mostly mechanical. 4. add support for netmap-monitor ports. Think of it as a mirroring port on a physical switch: a netmap monitor port replicates traffic present on the main port. Restrictions apply. Drive carefully. 5. if_lem.c: support for various paravirtualization features, experimental and disabled by default. Most of these are described in our ANCS'13 paper [1]. Paravirtualized support in netmap mode is new, and beats the numbers in the paper by a large factor (under qemu-kvm, we measured gues-host throughput up to 10-12 Mpps). A lot of refactoring and additional documentation in the files in sys/dev/netmap, but apart from #2 and #3 above, almost nothing of this stuff is visible to other kernel parts. Example programs in tools/tools/netmap have been updated with bugfixes and to support more of the existing features. This is meant to go into 10.1 so we plan an MFC before the Aug.22 deadline. A lot of this code has been contributed by my colleagues at UNIPI, including Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, Stefano Garzarella. MFC after: 3 days.

/* Init the mitigation support on all the rx queues. */
This new version of netmap brings you the following: - netmap pipes, providing bidirectional blocking I/O while moving 100+ Mpps between processes using shared memory channels (no mistake: over one hundred million. But mind you, i said *moving* not *processing*); - kqueue support (BHyVe needs it); - improved user library. Just the interface name lets you select a NIC, host port, VALE switch port, netmap pipe, and individual queues. The upcoming netmap-enabled libpcap will use this feature. - optional extra buffers associated to netmap ports, for applications that need to buffer data yet don't want to make copies. - segmentation offloading for the VALE switch, useful between VMs. and a number of bug fixes and performance improvements. My colleagues Giuseppe Lettieri and Vincenzo Maffione did a substantial amount of work on these features so we owe them a big thanks. There are some external repositories that can be of interest: https://code.google.com/p/netmap our public repository for netmap/VALE code, including linux versions and other stuff that does not belong here, such as python bindings. https://code.google.com/p/netmap-libpcap a clone of the libpcap repository with netmap support. With this any libpcap client has access to most netmap feature with no recompilation. E.g. tcpdump can filter packets at 10-15 Mpps. https://code.google.com/p/netmap-ipfw a userspace version of ipfw+dummynet which uses netmap to send/receive packets. Speed is up in the 7-10 Mpps range per core for simple rulesets. Both netmap-libpcap and netmap-ipfw will be merged upstream at some point, but while this happens it is useful to have access to them. And yes, this code will be merged soon. It is infinitely better than the version currently in 10 and 9. MFC after: 3 days

Update to the current version of netmap. Mostly bugfixes or features developed in the past 6 months, so this is a 10.1 candidate. Basically no user API changes (some bugfixes in sys/net/netmap_user.h). In detail: 1. netmap support for virtio-net, including in netmap mode. Under bhyve and with a netmap backend [2] we reach over 1Mpps with standard APIs (e.g. libpcap), and 5-8 Mpps in netmap mode. 2. (kernel) add support for multiple memory allocators, so we can better partition physical and virtual interfaces giving access to separate users. The most visible effect is one additional argument to the various kernel functions to compute buffer addresses. All netmap-supported drivers are affected, but changes are mechanical and trivial 3. (kernel) simplify the prototype for *txsync() and *rxsync() driver methods. All netmap drivers affected, changes mostly mechanical. 4. add support for netmap-monitor ports. Think of it as a mirroring port on a physical switch: a netmap monitor port replicates traffic present on the main port. Restrictions apply. Drive carefully. 5. if_lem.c: support for various paravirtualization features, experimental and disabled by default. Most of these are described in our ANCS'13 paper [1]. Paravirtualized support in netmap mode is new, and beats the numbers in the paper by a large factor (under qemu-kvm, we measured gues-host throughput up to 10-12 Mpps). A lot of refactoring and additional documentation in the files in sys/dev/netmap, but apart from #2 and #3 above, almost nothing of this stuff is visible to other kernel parts. Example programs in tools/tools/netmap have been updated with bugfixes and to support more of the existing features. This is meant to go into 10.1 so we plan an MFC before the Aug.22 deadline. A lot of this code has been contributed by my colleagues at UNIPI, including Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, Stefano Garzarella. MFC after: 3 days.

Sync netmap sources with the version in our private tree. This commit contains large contributions from Giuseppe Lettieri and Stefano Garzarella, is partly supported by grants from Verisign and Cisco, and brings in the following: - fix zerocopy monitor ports and introduce copying monitor ports (the latter are lower performance but give access to all traffic in parallel with the application) - exclusive open mode, useful to implement solutions that recover from crashes of the main netmap client (suggested by Patrick Kelsey) - revised memory allocator in preparation for the 'passthrough mode' (ptnetmap) recently presented at bsdcan. ptnetmap is described in S. Garzarella, G. Lettieri, L. Rizzo; Virtual device passthrough for high speed VM networking, ACM/IEEE ANCS 2015, Oakland (CA) May 2015 http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/research.html - fix rx CRC handing on ixl - add module dependencies for netmap when building drivers as modules - minor simplifications to device-specific routines (*txsync, *rxsync) - general code cleanup (remove unused variables, introduce macros to access rings and remove duplicate code, Applications do not need to be recompiled, unless of course they want to use the new features (monitors and exclusive open). Those willing to try this code on stable/10 can just update the sys/dev/netmap/*, sys/net/netmap* with the version in HEAD and apply the small patches to individual device drivers.

Update to the current version of netmap. Mostly bugfixes or features developed in the past 6 months, so this is a 10.1 candidate. Basically no user API changes (some bugfixes in sys/net/netmap_user.h). In detail: 1. netmap support for virtio-net, including in netmap mode. Under bhyve and with a netmap backend [2] we reach over 1Mpps with standard APIs (e.g. libpcap), and 5-8 Mpps in netmap mode. 2. (kernel) add support for multiple memory allocators, so we can better partition physical and virtual interfaces giving access to separate users. The most visible effect is one additional argument to the various kernel functions to compute buffer addresses. All netmap-supported drivers are affected, but changes are mechanical and trivial 3. (kernel) simplify the prototype for *txsync() and *rxsync() driver methods. All netmap drivers affected, changes mostly mechanical. 4. add support for netmap-monitor ports. Think of it as a mirroring port on a physical switch: a netmap monitor port replicates traffic present on the main port. Restrictions apply. Drive carefully. 5. if_lem.c: support for various paravirtualization features, experimental and disabled by default. Most of these are described in our ANCS'13 paper [1]. Paravirtualized support in netmap mode is new, and beats the numbers in the paper by a large factor (under qemu-kvm, we measured gues-host throughput up to 10-12 Mpps). A lot of refactoring and additional documentation in the files in sys/dev/netmap, but apart from #2 and #3 above, almost nothing of this stuff is visible to other kernel parts. Example programs in tools/tools/netmap have been updated with bugfixes and to support more of the existing features. This is meant to go into 10.1 so we plan an MFC before the Aug.22 deadline. A lot of this code has been contributed by my colleagues at UNIPI, including Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, Stefano Garzarella. MFC after: 3 days.

/* Do not intercept packets on the rx path. */
Sync netmap sources with the version in our private tree. This commit contains large contributions from Giuseppe Lettieri and Stefano Garzarella, is partly supported by grants from Verisign and Cisco, and brings in the following: - fix zerocopy monitor ports and introduce copying monitor ports (the latter are lower performance but give access to all traffic in parallel with the application) - exclusive open mode, useful to implement solutions that recover from crashes of the main netmap client (suggested by Patrick Kelsey) - revised memory allocator in preparation for the 'passthrough mode' (ptnetmap) recently presented at bsdcan. ptnetmap is described in S. Garzarella, G. Lettieri, L. Rizzo; Virtual device passthrough for high speed VM networking, ACM/IEEE ANCS 2015, Oakland (CA) May 2015 http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/research.html - fix rx CRC handing on ixl - add module dependencies for netmap when building drivers as modules - minor simplifications to device-specific routines (*txsync, *rxsync) - general code cleanup (remove unused variables, introduce macros to access rings and remove duplicate code, Applications do not need to be recompiled, unless of course they want to use the new features (monitors and exclusive open). Those willing to try this code on stable/10 can just update the sys/dev/netmap/*, sys/net/netmap* with the version in HEAD and apply the small patches to individual device drivers.

This new version of netmap brings you the following: - netmap pipes, providing bidirectional blocking I/O while moving 100+ Mpps between processes using shared memory channels (no mistake: over one hundred million. But mind you, i said *moving* not *processing*); - kqueue support (BHyVe needs it); - improved user library. Just the interface name lets you select a NIC, host port, VALE switch port, netmap pipe, and individual queues. The upcoming netmap-enabled libpcap will use this feature. - optional extra buffers associated to netmap ports, for applications that need to buffer data yet don't want to make copies. - segmentation offloading for the VALE switch, useful between VMs. and a number of bug fixes and performance improvements. My colleagues Giuseppe Lettieri and Vincenzo Maffione did a substantial amount of work on these features so we owe them a big thanks. There are some external repositories that can be of interest: https://code.google.com/p/netmap our public repository for netmap/VALE code, including linux versions and other stuff that does not belong here, such as python bindings. https://code.google.com/p/netmap-libpcap a clone of the libpcap repository with netmap support. With this any libpcap client has access to most netmap feature with no recompilation. E.g. tcpdump can filter packets at 10-15 Mpps. https://code.google.com/p/netmap-ipfw a userspace version of ipfw+dummynet which uses netmap to send/receive packets. Speed is up in the 7-10 Mpps range per core for simple rulesets. Both netmap-libpcap and netmap-ipfw will be merged upstream at some point, but while this happens it is useful to have access to them. And yes, this code will be merged soon. It is infinitely better than the version currently in 10 and 9. MFC after: 3 days

The upcoming netmap-enabled libpcap will use this feature. - optional extra buffers associated to netmap ports, for applications that need to buffer data yet don't want to make copies. - segmentation offloading for the VALE switch, useful between VMs. and a number of bug fixes and performance improvements. My colleagues Giuseppe Lettieri and Vincenzo Maffione did a substantial amount of work on these features so we owe them a big thanks. There are some external repositories that can be of interest: https://code.google.com/p/netmap our public repository for netmap/VALE code, including linux versions and other stuff that does not belong here, such as python bindings. https://code.google.com/p/netmap-libpcap a clone of the libpcap repository with netmap support. With this any libpcap client has access to most netmap feature with no recompilation. E.g. tcpdump can filter packets at 10-15 Mpps. https://code.google.com/p/netmap-ipfw a userspace version of ipfw+dummynet which uses netmap to send/receive packets. Speed is up in the 7-10 Mpps range per core for simple rulesets. Both netmap-libpcap and netmap-ipfw will be merged upstream at some point, but while this happens it is useful to have access to them. And yes, this code will be merged soon. It is infinitely better than the version currently in 10 and 9. MFC after: 3 days

It is 2014 and we have a new version of netmap. Most relevant features: - netmap emulation on any NIC, even those without native netmap support. On the ixgbe we have measured about 4Mpps/core/queue in this mode, which is still a lot more than with sockets/bpf. - seamless interconnection of VALE switch, NICs and host stack. If you disable accelerations on your NIC (say em0) ifconfig em0 -txcsum -txcsum you can use the VALE switch to connect the NIC and the host stack: vale-ctl -h valeXX:em0 allowing sharing the NIC with other netmap clients. - THE USER API HAS SLIGHTLY CHANGED (head/cur/tail pointers instead of pointers/count as before). This was unavoidable to support, in the future, multiple threads operating on the same rings. Netmap clients require very small source code changes to compile again. On the plus side, the new API should be easier to understand and the internals are a lot simpler. The manual page has been updated extensively to reflect the current features and give some examples. This is the result of work of several people including Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, Michio Honda and myself, and has been financially supported by EU projects CHANGE and OPENLAB, from NetApp University Research Fund, NEC, and of course the Universita` di Pisa.

Update to the current version of netmap. Mostly bugfixes or features developed in the past 6 months, so this is a 10.1 candidate. Basically no user API changes (some bugfixes in sys/net/netmap_user.h). In detail: 1. netmap support for virtio-net, including in netmap mode. Under bhyve and with a netmap backend [2] we reach over 1Mpps with standard APIs (e.g. libpcap), and 5-8 Mpps in netmap mode. 2. (kernel) add support for multiple memory allocators, so we can better partition physical and virtual interfaces giving access to separate users. The most visible effect is one additional argument to the various kernel functions to compute buffer addresses. All netmap-supported drivers are affected, but changes are mechanical and trivial 3. (kernel) simplify the prototype for *txsync() and *rxsync() driver methods. All netmap drivers affected, changes mostly mechanical. 4. add support for netmap-monitor ports. Think of it as a mirroring port on a physical switch: a netmap monitor port replicates traffic present on the main port. Restrictions apply. Drive carefully. 5. if_lem.c: support for various paravirtualization features, experimental and disabled by default. Most of these are described in our ANCS'13 paper [1]. Paravirtualized support in netmap mode is new, and beats the numbers in the paper by a large factor (under qemu-kvm, we measured gues-host throughput up to 10-12 Mpps). A lot of refactoring and additional documentation in the files in sys/dev/netmap, but apart from #2 and #3 above, almost nothing of this stuff is visible to other kernel parts. Example programs in tools/tools/netmap have been updated with bugfixes and to support more of the existing features. This is meant to go into 10.1 so we plan an MFC before the Aug.22 deadline. A lot of this code has been contributed by my colleagues at UNIPI, including Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, Stefano Garzarella. MFC after: 3 days.

Update to the current version of netmap. Mostly bugfixes or features developed in the past 6 months, so this is a 10.1 candidate. Basically no user API changes (some bugfixes in sys/net/netmap_user.h). In detail: 1. netmap support for virtio-net, including in netmap mode. Under bhyve and with a netmap backend [2] we reach over 1Mpps with standard APIs (e.g. libpcap), and 5-8 Mpps in netmap mode. 2. (kernel) add support for multiple memory allocators, so we can better partition physical and virtual interfaces giving access to separate users. The most visible effect is one additional argument to the various kernel functions to compute buffer addresses. All netmap-supported drivers are affected, but changes are mechanical and trivial 3. (kernel) simplify the prototype for *txsync() and *rxsync() driver methods. All netmap drivers affected, changes mostly mechanical. 4. add support for netmap-monitor ports. Think of it as a mirroring port on a physical switch: a netmap monitor port replicates traffic present on the main port. Restrictions apply. Drive carefully. 5. if_lem.c: support for various paravirtualization features, experimental and disabled by default. Most of these are described in our ANCS'13 paper [1]. Paravirtualized support in netmap mode is new, and beats the numbers in the paper by a large factor (under qemu-kvm, we measured gues-host throughput up to 10-12 Mpps). A lot of refactoring and additional documentation in the files in sys/dev/netmap, but apart from #2 and #3 above, almost nothing of this stuff is visible to other kernel parts. Example programs in tools/tools/netmap have been updated with bugfixes and to support more of the existing features. This is meant to go into 10.1 so we plan an MFC before the Aug.22 deadline. A lot of this code has been contributed by my colleagues at UNIPI, including Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, Stefano Garzarella. MFC after: 3 days.

This was unavoidable to support, in the future, multiple threads operating on the same rings. Netmap clients require very small source code changes to compile again.

Update to the current version of netmap. Mostly bugfixes or features developed in the past 6 months, so this is a 10.1 candidate. Basically no user API changes (some bugfixes in sys/net/netmap_user.h). In detail: 1. netmap support for virtio-net, including in netmap mode. Under bhyve and with a netmap backend [2] we reach over 1Mpps with standard APIs (e.g. libpcap), and 5-8 Mpps in netmap mode. 2. (kernel) add support for multiple memory allocators, so we can better partition physical and virtual interfaces giving access to separate users. The most visible effect is one additional argument to the various kernel functions to compute buffer addresses. All netmap-supported drivers are affected, but changes are mechanical and trivial 3. (kernel) simplify the prototype for *txsync() and *rxsync() driver methods. All netmap drivers affected, changes mostly mechanical. 4. add support for netmap-monitor ports. Think of it as a mirroring port on a physical switch: a netmap monitor port replicates traffic present on the main port. Restrictions apply. Drive carefully. 5. if_lem.c: support for various paravirtualization features, experimental and disabled by default. Most of these are described in our ANCS'13 paper [1]. Paravirtualized support in netmap mode is new, and beats the numbers in the paper by a large factor (under qemu-kvm, we measured gues-host throughput up to 10-12 Mpps). A lot of refactoring and additional documentation in the files in sys/dev/netmap, but apart from #2 and #3 above, almost nothing of this stuff is visible to other kernel parts. Example programs in tools/tools/netmap have been updated with bugfixes and to support more of the existing features. This is meant to go into 10.1 so we plan an MFC before the Aug.22 deadline. A lot of this code has been contributed by my colleagues at UNIPI, including Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, Stefano Garzarella. MFC after: 3 days.

This new version of netmap brings you the following: - netmap pipes, providing bidirectional blocking I/O while moving 100+ Mpps between processes using shared memory channels (no mistake: over one hundred million. But mind you, i said *moving* not *processing*); - kqueue support (BHyVe needs it); - improved user library. Just the interface name lets you select a NIC, host port, VALE switch port, netmap pipe, and individual queues. The upcoming netmap-enabled libpcap will use this feature. - optional extra buffers associated to netmap ports, for applications that need to buffer data yet don't want to make copies. - segmentation offloading for the VALE switch, useful between VMs. and a number of bug fixes and performance improvements. My colleagues Giuseppe Lettieri and Vincenzo Maffione did a substantial amount of work on these features so we owe them a big thanks. There are some external repositories that can be of interest: https://code.google.com/p/netmap our public repository for netmap/VALE code, including linux versions and other stuff that does not belong here, such as python bindings. https://code.google.com/p/netmap-libpcap a clone of the libpcap repository with netmap support. With this any libpcap client has access to most netmap feature with no recompilation. E.g. tcpdump can filter packets at 10-15 Mpps. https://code.google.com/p/netmap-ipfw a userspace version of ipfw+dummynet which uses netmap to send/receive packets. Speed is up in the 7-10 Mpps range per core for simple rulesets. Both netmap-libpcap and netmap-ipfw will be merged upstream at some point, but while this happens it is useful to have access to them. And yes, this code will be merged soon. It is infinitely better than the version currently in 10 and 9. MFC after: 3 days

Update to the current version of netmap. Mostly bugfixes or features developed in the past 6 months, so this is a 10.1 candidate. Basically no user API changes (some bugfixes in sys/net/netmap_user.h). In detail: 1. netmap support for virtio-net, including in netmap mode. Under bhyve and with a netmap backend [2] we reach over 1Mpps with standard APIs (e.g. libpcap), and 5-8 Mpps in netmap mode. 2. (kernel) add support for multiple memory allocators, so we can better partition physical and virtual interfaces giving access to separate users. The most visible effect is one additional argument to the various kernel functions to compute buffer addresses. All netmap-supported drivers are affected, but changes are mechanical and trivial 3. (kernel) simplify the prototype for *txsync() and *rxsync() driver methods. All netmap drivers affected, changes mostly mechanical. 4. add support for netmap-monitor ports. Think of it as a mirroring port on a physical switch: a netmap monitor port replicates traffic present on the main port. Restrictions apply. Drive carefully. 5. if_lem.c: support for various paravirtualization features, experimental and disabled by default. Most of these are described in our ANCS'13 paper [1]. Paravirtualized support in netmap mode is new, and beats the numbers in the paper by a large factor (under qemu-kvm, we measured gues-host throughput up to 10-12 Mpps). A lot of refactoring and additional documentation in the files in sys/dev/netmap, but apart from #2 and #3 above, almost nothing of this stuff is visible to other kernel parts. Example programs in tools/tools/netmap have been updated with bugfixes and to support more of the existing features. This is meant to go into 10.1 so we plan an MFC before the Aug.22 deadline. A lot of this code has been contributed by my colleagues at UNIPI, including Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, Stefano Garzarella. MFC after: 3 days.

This commit contains large contributions from Giuseppe Lettieri and Stefano Garzarella, is partly supported by grants from Verisign and Cisco, and brings in the following: - fix zerocopy monitor ports and introduce copying monitor ports (the latter are lower performance but give access to all traffic in parallel with the application) - exclusive open mode, useful to implement solutions that recover from crashes of the main netmap client (suggested by Patrick Kelsey) - revised memory allocator in preparation for the 'passthrough mode' (ptnetmap) recently presented at bsdcan. ptnetmap is described in S. Garzarella, G. Lettieri, L. Rizzo; Virtual device passthrough for high speed VM networking, ACM/IEEE ANCS 2015, Oakland (CA) May 2015 http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/research.html - fix rx CRC handing on ixl - add module dependencies for netmap when building drivers as modules - minor simplifications to device-specific routines (*txsync, *rxsync) - general code cleanup (remove unused variables, introduce macros to access rings and remove duplicate code, Applications do not need to be recompiled, unless of course they want to use the new features (monitors and exclusive open). Those willing to try this code on stable/10 can just update the sys/dev/netmap/*, sys/net/netmap* with the version in HEAD and apply the small patches to individual device drivers.

This was unavoidable to support, in the future, multiple threads operating on the same rings. Netmap clients require very small source code changes to compile again. On the plus side, the new API should be easier to understand and the internals are a lot simpler. The manual page has been updated extensively to reflect the current features and give some examples.

Update to the current version of netmap. Mostly bugfixes or features developed in the past 6 months, so this is a 10.1 candidate. Basically no user API changes (some bugfixes in sys/net/netmap_user.h). In detail: 1. netmap support for virtio-net, including in netmap mode. Under bhyve and with a netmap backend [2] we reach over 1Mpps with standard APIs (e.g. libpcap), and 5-8 Mpps in netmap mode. 2. (kernel) add support for multiple memory allocators, so we can better partition physical and virtual interfaces giving access to separate users. The most visible effect is one additional argument to the various kernel functions to compute buffer addresses. All netmap-supported drivers are affected, but changes are mechanical and trivial 3. (kernel) simplify the prototype for *txsync() and *rxsync() driver methods. All netmap drivers affected, changes mostly mechanical. 4. add support for netmap-monitor ports. Think of it as a mirroring port on a physical switch: a netmap monitor port replicates traffic present on the main port. Restrictions apply. Drive carefully. 5. if_lem.c: support for various paravirtualization features, experimental and disabled by default. Most of these are described in our ANCS'13 paper [1]. Paravirtualized support in netmap mode is new, and beats the numbers in the paper by a large factor (under qemu-kvm, we measured gues-host throughput up to 10-12 Mpps). A lot of refactoring and additional documentation in the files in sys/dev/netmap, but apart from #2 and #3 above, almost nothing of this stuff is visible to other kernel parts. Example programs in tools/tools/netmap have been updated with bugfixes and to support more of the existing features. This is meant to go into 10.1 so we plan an MFC before the Aug.22 deadline. A lot of this code has been contributed by my colleagues at UNIPI, including Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, Stefano Garzarella. MFC after: 3 days.

* NAF_SKIP_INTR to use the regular interrupt handler
*/
This new version of netmap brings you the following: - netmap pipes, providing bidirectional blocking I/O while moving 100+ Mpps between processes using shared memory channels (no mistake: over one hundred million. But mind you, i said *moving* not *processing*); - kqueue support (BHyVe needs it); - improved user library. Just the interface name lets you select a NIC, host port, VALE switch port, netmap pipe, and individual queues. The upcoming netmap-enabled libpcap will use this feature. - optional extra buffers associated to netmap ports, for applications that need to buffer data yet don't want to make copies. - segmentation offloading for the VALE switch, useful between VMs. and a number of bug fixes and performance improvements. My colleagues Giuseppe Lettieri and Vincenzo Maffione did a substantial amount of work on these features so we owe them a big thanks. There are some external repositories that can be of interest: https://code.google.com/p/netmap our public repository for netmap/VALE code, including linux versions and other stuff that does not belong here, such as python bindings. https://code.google.com/p/netmap-libpcap a clone of the libpcap repository with netmap support. With this any libpcap client has access to most netmap feature with no recompilation. E.g. tcpdump can filter packets at 10-15 Mpps. https://code.google.com/p/netmap-ipfw a userspace version of ipfw+dummynet which uses netmap to send/receive packets. Speed is up in the 7-10 Mpps range per core for simple rulesets. Both netmap-libpcap and netmap-ipfw will be merged upstream at some point, but while this happens it is useful to have access to them. And yes, this code will be merged soon. It is infinitely better than the version currently in 10 and 9. MFC after: 3 days
