 * --- Netmap data structures ---
 *
 * The data structures used by netmap are shown below. Those in
 * capital letters are in an mmapp()ed area shared with userspace,
 * while others are private to the kernel.
 * Shared structures do not contain pointers but only memory
 * offsets, so that addressing is portable between kernel and userspace.

 * The private descriptor ('softc' or 'adapter') of each interface
 * is extended with a "struct netmap_adapter" containing netmap-related
 * info (see description in dev/netmap/netmap_kernel.h.
 * Among other things, tx_rings and rx_rings point to the arrays of
 * "struct netmap_kring" which in turn reache the various
 * "struct netmap_ring", shared with userspace.

 * The NETMAP_RING is the userspace-visible replica of the NIC ring.
 * Each slot has the index of a buffer, its length and some flags.
 * In user space, the buffer address is computed as
 *	(char *)ring + buf_ofs + index*NETMAP_BUF_SIZE
 * In the kernel, buffers do not necessarily need to be contiguous,
 * and the virtual and physical addresses are derived through
 * a lookup table.
 *
 * struct netmap_slot:
 *
 * buf_idx	is the index of the buffer associated to the slot.
 * len		is the length of the payload
 * NS_BUF_CHANGED	must be set whenever userspace wants
 *		to change buf_idx (it might be necessary to
 *		reprogram the NIC slot)
 * NS_REPORT	must be set if we want the NIC to generate an interrupt
 *		when this slot is used. Leaving it to 0 improves
 *		performance.
 * NS_FORWARD	if set on a receive ring, and the device is in
 *		transparent mode, buffers released with the flag set
 *		will be forwarded to the 'other' side (host stack
 *		or NIC, respectively) on the next select() or ioctl()
 * NS_NO_LEARN	on a VALE switch, do not 'learn' the source port for
 *		this packet.
 * NS_PORT_MASK	the high 8 bits of the flag, if not zero, indicate the
 *		destination port for the VALE switch, overriding
 *		the lookup table.

/*
 * Netmap representation of a TX or RX ring (also known as "queue").
 * This is a queue implemented as a fixed-size circular array.
 * At the software level, two fields are important: avail and cur.
 *
 * In TX rings:
 *	avail	indicates the number of slots available for transmission.
 *		It is updated by the kernel after every netmap system call.
 *		It MUST BE decremented by the application when it appends a
 *		packet.
 *	cur	indicates the slot to use for the next packet
 *		to send (i.e. the "tail" of the queue).
 *		It MUST BE incremented by the application before
 *		netmap system calls to reflect the number of newly
 *		sent packets.
 *		It is checked by the kernel on netmap system calls
 *		(normally unmodified by the kernel unless invalid).
 *
 *   The kernel side of netmap uses two additional fields in its own
 *   private ring structure, netmap_kring:
 *	nr_hwcur is a copy of nr_cur on an NIOCTXSYNC.
 *	nr_hwavail is the number of slots known as available by the
 *		hardware. It is updated on an INTR (inc by the
 *		number of packets sent) and on a NIOCTXSYNC
 *		(decrease by nr_cur - nr_hwcur)
 *		A special case, nr_hwavail is -1 if the transmit
 *		side is idle (no pending transmits).
 *
 * In RX rings:
 *	avail	is the number of packets available (possibly 0).
 *		It MUST BE decremented by the application when it consumes
 *		a packet, and it is updated to nr_hwavail on a NIOCRXSYNC
 *	cur	indicates the first slot that contains a packet not
 *		processed yet (the "head" of the queue).
 *		It MUST BE incremented by the software when it consumes
 *		a packet.
 *	reserved	indicates the number of buffers before 'cur'
 *		that the application has still in use. Normally 0,
 *		it MUST BE incremented by the application when it
 *		does not return the buffer immediately, and decremented
 *		when the buffer is finally freed.
 *
 *   The kernel side of netmap uses two additional fields in the kring:
 *	nr_hwcur is a copy of nr_cur on an NIOCRXSYNC
 *	nr_hwavail is the number of packets available. It is updated
 *		on INTR (inc by the number of new packets arrived)
 *		and on NIOCRXSYNC (decreased by nr_cur - nr_hwcur).
 *
 * DATA OWNERSHIP/LOCKING:
 *	The netmap_ring is owned by the user program and it is only
 *	accessed or modified in the upper half of the kernel during
 *	a system call.
 *
 *	The netmap_kring is only modified by the upper half of the kernel.
 *
 * FLAGS
 *	NR_TIMESTAMP	updates the 'ts' field on each syscall. This is
 *			a global timestamp for all packets.
 *	NR_RX_TSTMP	if set, the last 64 byte in each buffer will
 *			contain a timestamp for the frame supplied by
 *			the hardware (if supported)
 *	NR_FORWARD	if set, the NS_FORWARD flag in each slot of the
 *			RX ring is checked, and if set the packet is
 *			passed to the other side (host stack or device,
 *			respectively). This permits bpf-like behaviour
 *			or transparency for selected packets.
