Several years after initial development, merge prototype support for linking NIC Receive Side Scaling (RSS) to the network stack's connection-group implementation. This prototype (and derived patches) are in use at Juniper and several other FreeBSD-using companies, so despite some reservations about its maturity, merge the patch to the base tree so that it can be iteratively refined in collaboration rather than maintained as a set of gradually diverging patch sets. (1) Merge a software implementation of the Toeplitz hash specified in RSS implemented by David Malone. This is used to allow suitable pcbgroup placement of connections before the first packet is received from the NIC. Software hashing is generally avoided, however, due to high cost of the hash on general-purpose CPUs. (2) In in_rss.c, maintain authoritative versions of RSS state intended to be pushed to each NIC, including keying material, hash algorithm/ configuration, and buckets. Provide software-facing interfaces to hash 2- and 4-tuples for IPv4 and IPv6 using both the RSS standardised Toeplitz and a 'naive' variation with a hash efficient in software but with poor distribution properties. Implement rss_m2cpuid()to be used by netisr and other load balancing code to look up the CPU on which an mbuf should be processed. (3) In the Ethernet link layer, allow netisr distribution using RSS as a source of policy as an alternative to source ordering; continue to default to direct dispatch (i.e., don't try and requeue packets for processing on the 'right' CPU if they arrive in a directly dispatchable context). (4) Allow RSS to control tuning of connection groups in order to align groups with RSS buckets. If a packet arrives on a protocol using connection groups, and contains a suitable hardware-generated hash, use that hash value to select the connection group for pcb lookup for both IPv4 and IPv6. If no hardware-generated Toeplitz hash is available, we fall back on regular PCB lookup risking contention rather than pay the cost of Toeplitz in software -- this is a less scalable but, at my last measurement, faster approach. As core counts go up, we may want to revise this strategy despite CPU overhead. Where device drivers suitably configure NICs, and connection groups / RSS are enabled, this should avoid both lock and line contention during connection lookup for TCP. This commit does not modify any device drivers to tune device RSS configuration to the global RSS configuration; patches are in circulation to do this for at least Chelsio T3 and Intel 1G/10G drivers. Currently, the KPI for device drivers is not particularly robust, nor aware of more advanced features such as runtime reconfiguration/rebalancing. This will hopefully prove a useful starting point for refinement. No MFC is scheduled as we will first want to nail down a more mature and maintainable KPI/KBI for device drivers.
