Bring in support for netmap, a framework for very efficient packet I/O from userspace, capable of line rate at 10G, see http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/ At this time I am bringing in only the generic code (sys/dev/netmap/ plus two headers under sys/net/), and some sample applications in tools/tools/netmap. There is also a manpage in share/man/man4 [1] In order to make use of the framework you need to build a kernel with "device netmap", and patch individual drivers with the code that you can find in sys/dev/netmap/head.diff The file will go away as the relevant pieces are committed to the various device drivers, which should happen in a few days after talking to the driver maintainers. Netmap support is available at the moment for Intel 10G and 1G cards (ixgbe, em/lem/igb), and for the Realtek 1G card ("re"). I have partial patches for "bge" and am starting to work on "cxgbe". Hopefully changes are trivial enough so interested third parties can submit their patches. Interested people can contact me for advice on how to add netmap support to specific devices. CREDITS: Netmap has been developed by Luigi Rizzo and other collaborators at the Universita` di Pisa, and supported by EU project CHANGE (http://www.change-project.eu/) The code is distributed under a BSD Copyright. [1] In my opinion is a bad idea to have all manpage in one directory. We should place kernel documentation in the same dir that contains the code, which would make it much simpler to keep doc and code in sync, reduce the clutter in share/man/ and incidentally is the policy used for all of userspace code. Makefiles and doc tools can be trivially adjusted to find the manpages in the relevant subdirs.

1. Fix the handling of link reset while in netmap more. A link reset now is completely transparent for the netmap client: even if the NIC resets its own ring (e.g. restarting from 0), the client will not see any change in the current rx/tx positions, because the driver will keep track of the offset between the two. 2. make the device-specific code more uniform across different drivers There were some inconsistencies in the implementation of the netmap support routines, now drivers have been aligned to a common code structure. 3. import netmap support for ixgbe . This is implemented as a very small patch for ixgbe.c (233 lines, 11 chunks, mostly comments: in total the patch has only 54 lines of new code) , as most of the code is in an external file sys/dev/netmap/ixgbe_netmap.h , following some initial comments from Jack Vogel about making changes less intrusive. (Note, i have emailed Jack multiple times asking if he had comments on this structure of the code; i got no reply so i assume he is fine with it). Support for other drivers (em, lem, re, igb) will come later. "ixgbe" is now the reference driver for netmap support. Both the external file (sys/dev/netmap/ixgbe_netmap.h) and the device-specific patches (in sys/dev/ixgbe/ixgbe.c) are heavily commented and should serve as a reference for other device drivers. Tested on i386 and amd64 with the pkt-gen program in tools/tools/netmap, the sender does 14.88 Mpps at 1050 Mhz and 14.2 Mpps at 900 MHz on an i7-860 with 4 cores and 82599 card. Haven't tried yet more aggressive optimizations such as adding 'prefetch' instructions in the time-critical parts of the code.

A link reset now is completely transparent for the netmap client: even if the NIC resets its own ring (e.g. restarting from 0), the client will not see any change in the current rx/tx positions, because the driver will keep track of the offset between the two. 2. make the device-specific code more uniform across different drivers There were some inconsistencies in the implementation of the netmap support routines, now drivers have been aligned to a common code structure. 3. import netmap support for ixgbe . This is implemented as a very small patch for ixgbe.c (233 lines, 11 chunks, mostly comments: in total the patch has only 54 lines of new code) , as most of the code is in an external file sys/dev/netmap/ixgbe_netmap.h , following some initial comments from Jack Vogel about making changes less intrusive. (Note, i have emailed Jack multiple times asking if he had comments on this structure of the code; i got no reply so i assume he is fine with it). Support for other drivers (em, lem, re, igb) will come later. "ixgbe" is now the reference driver for netmap support. Both the external file (sys/dev/netmap/ixgbe_netmap.h) and the device-specific patches (in sys/dev/ixgbe/ixgbe.c) are heavily commented and should serve as a reference for other device drivers. Tested on i386 and amd64 with the pkt-gen program in tools/tools/netmap, the sender does 14.88 Mpps at 1050 Mhz and 14.2 Mpps at 900 MHz on an i7-860 with 4 cores and 82599 card. Haven't tried yet more aggressive optimizations such as adding 'prefetch' instructions in the time-critical parts of the code.

Bring in support for netmap, a framework for very efficient packet I/O from userspace, capable of line rate at 10G, see http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/ At this time I am bringing in only the generic code (sys/dev/netmap/ plus two headers under sys/net/), and some sample applications in tools/tools/netmap. There is also a manpage in share/man/man4 [1] In order to make use of the framework you need to build a kernel with "device netmap", and patch individual drivers with the code that you can find in sys/dev/netmap/head.diff The file will go away as the relevant pieces are committed to the various device drivers, which should happen in a few days after talking to the driver maintainers. Netmap support is available at the moment for Intel 10G and 1G cards (ixgbe, em/lem/igb), and for the Realtek 1G card ("re"). I have partial patches for "bge" and am starting to work on "cxgbe". Hopefully changes are trivial enough so interested third parties can submit their patches. Interested people can contact me for advice on how to add netmap support to specific devices.

[1] In my opinion is a bad idea to have all manpage in one directory. We should place kernel documentation in the same dir that contains the code, which would make it much simpler to keep doc and code in sync, reduce the clutter in share/man/ and incidentally is the policy used for all of userspace code. Makefiles and doc tools can be trivially adjusted to find the manpages in the relevant subdirs.

* Since ring comes from userspace, its content must be read only once,
* and validated before being used to update the kernel's structures.
* (this is also true for every use of ring in the kernel).
*
* ring->avail is never used, only checked for bogus values.
*
* do_lock is set iff the function is called from the ioctl handler.
* In this case, grab a lock around the body, and also reclaim transmitted
* buffers irrespective of interrupt mitigation.

Bring in support for netmap, a framework for very efficient packet I/O from userspace, capable of line rate at 10G, see http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/ At this time I am bringing in only the generic code (sys/dev/netmap/ plus two headers under sys/net/), and some sample applications in tools/tools/netmap. There is also a manpage in share/man/man4 [1] In order to make use of the framework you need to build a kernel with "device netmap", and patch individual drivers with the code that you can find in sys/dev/netmap/head.diff The file will go away as the relevant pieces are committed to the various device drivers, which should happen in a few days after talking to the driver maintainers. Netmap support is available at the moment for Intel 10G and 1G cards (ixgbe, em/lem/igb), and for the Realtek 1G card ("re"). I have partial patches for "bge" and am starting to work on "cxgbe". Hopefully changes are trivial enough so interested third parties can submit their patches. Interested people can contact me for advice on how to add netmap support to specific devices. CREDITS: Netmap has been developed by Luigi Rizzo and other collaborators at the Universita` di Pisa, and supported by EU project CHANGE (http://www.change-project.eu/) The code is distributed under a BSD Copyright. [1] In my opinion is a bad idea to have all manpage in one directory. We should place kernel documentation in the same dir that contains the code, which would make it much simpler to keep doc and code in sync, reduce the clutter in share/man/ and incidentally is the policy used for all of userspace code. Makefiles and doc tools can be trivially adjusted to find the manpages in the relevant subdirs.

1. Fix the handling of link reset while in netmap more. A link reset now is completely transparent for the netmap client: even if the NIC resets its own ring (e.g. restarting from 0), the client will not see any change in the current rx/tx positions, because the driver will keep track of the offset between the two. 2. make the device-specific code more uniform across different drivers There were some inconsistencies in the implementation of the netmap support routines, now drivers have been aligned to a common code structure. 3. import netmap support for ixgbe . This is implemented as a very small patch for ixgbe.c (233 lines, 11 chunks, mostly comments: in total the patch has only 54 lines of new code) , as most of the code is in an external file sys/dev/netmap/ixgbe_netmap.h , following some initial comments from Jack Vogel about making changes less intrusive. (Note, i have emailed Jack multiple times asking if he had comments on this structure of the code; i got no reply so i assume he is fine with it). Support for other drivers (em, lem, re, igb) will come later. "ixgbe" is now the reference driver for netmap support. Both the external file (sys/dev/netmap/ixgbe_netmap.h) and the device-specific patches (in sys/dev/ixgbe/ixgbe.c) are heavily commented and should serve as a reference for other device drivers. Tested on i386 and amd64 with the pkt-gen program in tools/tools/netmap, the sender does 14.88 Mpps at 1050 Mhz and 14.2 Mpps at 900 MHz on an i7-860 with 4 cores and 82599 card. Haven't tried yet more aggressive optimizations such as adding 'prefetch' instructions in the time-critical parts of the code.

1. Fix the handling of link reset while in netmap more. A link reset now is completely transparent for the netmap client: even if the NIC resets its own ring (e.g. restarting from 0), the client will not see any change in the current rx/tx positions, because the driver will keep track of the offset between the two. 2. make the device-specific code more uniform across different drivers There were some inconsistencies in the implementation of the netmap support routines, now drivers have been aligned to a common code structure. 3. import netmap support for ixgbe . This is implemented as a very small patch for ixgbe.c (233 lines, 11 chunks, mostly comments: in total the patch has only 54 lines of new code) , as most of the code is in an external file sys/dev/netmap/ixgbe_netmap.h , following some initial comments from Jack Vogel about making changes less intrusive. (Note, i have emailed Jack multiple times asking if he had comments on this structure of the code; i got no reply so i assume he is fine with it). Support for other drivers (em, lem, re, igb) will come later. "ixgbe" is now the reference driver for netmap support. Both the external file (sys/dev/netmap/ixgbe_netmap.h) and the device-specific patches (in sys/dev/ixgbe/ixgbe.c) are heavily commented and should serve as a reference for other device drivers. Tested on i386 and amd64 with the pkt-gen program in tools/tools/netmap, the sender does 14.88 Mpps at 1050 Mhz and 14.2 Mpps at 900 MHz on an i7-860 with 4 cores and 82599 card. Haven't tried yet more aggressive optimizations such as adding 'prefetch' instructions in the time-critical parts of the code.

Bring in support for netmap, a framework for very efficient packet I/O from userspace, capable of line rate at 10G, see http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/ At this time I am bringing in only the generic code (sys/dev/netmap/ plus two headers under sys/net/), and some sample applications in tools/tools/netmap. There is also a manpage in share/man/man4 [1] In order to make use of the framework you need to build a kernel with "device netmap", and patch individual drivers with the code that you can find in sys/dev/netmap/head.diff The file will go away as the relevant pieces are committed to the various device drivers, which should happen in a few days after talking to the driver maintainers. Netmap support is available at the moment for Intel 10G and 1G cards (ixgbe, em/lem/igb), and for the Realtek 1G card ("re"). I have partial patches for "bge" and am starting to work on "cxgbe". Hopefully changes are trivial enough so interested third parties can submit their patches. Interested people can contact me for advice on how to add netmap support to specific devices.

Netmap support is available at the moment for Intel 10G and 1G cards (ixgbe, em/lem/igb), and for the Realtek 1G card ("re"). I have partial patches for "bge" and am starting to work on "cxgbe". Hopefully changes are trivial enough so interested third parties can submit their patches. Interested people can contact me for advice on how to add netmap support to specific devices. CREDITS: Netmap has been developed by Luigi Rizzo and other collaborators at the Universita` di Pisa, and supported by EU project CHANGE (http://www.change-project.eu/) The code is distributed under a BSD Copyright. [1] In my opinion is a bad idea to have all manpage in one directory. We should place kernel documentation in the same dir that contains the code, which would make it much simpler to keep doc and code in sync, reduce the clutter in share/man/ and incidentally is the policy used for all of userspace code. Makefiles and doc tools can be trivially adjusted to find the manpages in the relevant subdirs.

1. Fix the handling of link reset while in netmap more. A link reset now is completely transparent for the netmap client: even if the NIC resets its own ring (e.g. restarting from 0), the client will not see any change in the current rx/tx positions, because the driver will keep track of the offset between the two. 2. make the device-specific code more uniform across different drivers There were some inconsistencies in the implementation of the netmap support routines, now drivers have been aligned to a common code structure. 3. import netmap support for ixgbe . This is implemented as a very small patch for ixgbe.c (233 lines, 11 chunks, mostly comments: in total the patch has only 54 lines of new code) , as most of the code is in an external file sys/dev/netmap/ixgbe_netmap.h , following some initial comments from Jack Vogel about making changes less intrusive. (Note, i have emailed Jack multiple times asking if he had comments on this structure of the code; i got no reply so i assume he is fine with it). Support for other drivers (em, lem, re, igb) will come later. "ixgbe" is now the reference driver for netmap support. Both the external file (sys/dev/netmap/ixgbe_netmap.h) and the device-specific patches (in sys/dev/ixgbe/ixgbe.c) are heavily commented and should serve as a reference for other device drivers. Tested on i386 and amd64 with the pkt-gen program in tools/tools/netmap, the sender does 14.88 Mpps at 1050 Mhz and 14.2 Mpps at 900 MHz on an i7-860 with 4 cores and 82599 card. Haven't tried yet more aggressive optimizations such as adding 'prefetch' instructions in the time-critical parts of the code.

1. Fix the handling of link reset while in netmap more. A link reset now is completely transparent for the netmap client: even if the NIC resets its own ring (e.g. restarting from 0), the client will not see any change in the current rx/tx positions, because the driver will keep track of the offset between the two. 2. make the device-specific code more uniform across different drivers There were some inconsistencies in the implementation of the netmap support routines, now drivers have been aligned to a common code structure. 3. import netmap support for ixgbe . This is implemented as a very small patch for ixgbe.c (233 lines, 11 chunks, mostly comments: in total the patch has only 54 lines of new code) , as most of the code is in an external file sys/dev/netmap/ixgbe_netmap.h , following some initial comments from Jack Vogel about making changes less intrusive. (Note, i have emailed Jack multiple times asking if he had comments on this structure of the code; i got no reply so i assume he is fine with it).

Both the external file (sys/dev/netmap/ixgbe_netmap.h) and the device-specific patches (in sys/dev/ixgbe/ixgbe.c) are heavily commented and should serve as a reference for other device drivers.

Haven't tried yet more aggressive optimizations such as adding 'prefetch' instructions in the time-critical parts of the code.
