- The existing ipi_lock continues to protect the global inpcb list and
inpcb counter. This lock is now relegated to a small number of
allocation and free operations, and occasional operations that walk
all connections (including, awkwardly, certain UDP multicast receive
operations -- something to revisit).
- A new ipi_hash_lock protects the two inpcbinfo hash tables for
looking up connections and bound sockets, manipulated using new
INP_HASH_*() macros. This lock, combined with inpcb locks, protects
the 4-tuple address space.
Unlike the current ipi_lock, ipi_hash_lock follows the individual inpcb
connection locks, so may be acquired while manipulating a connection on
which a lock is already held, avoiding the need to acquire the inpcbinfo
lock preemptively when a binding change might later be required. As a
result, however, lookup operations necessarily go through a reference
acquire while holding the lookup lock, later acquiring an inpcb lock --
if required.
A new function in_pcblookup() looks up connections, and accepts flags
indicating how to return the inpcb. Due to lock order changes, callers
no longer need acquire locks before performing a lookup: the lookup
routine will acquire the ipi_hash_lock as needed. In the future, it will
also be able to use alternative lookup and locking strategies
transparently to callers, such as pcbgroup lookup. New lookup flags are,
supplementing the existing INPLOOKUP_WILDCARD flag:
INPLOOKUP_RLOCKPCB - Acquire a read lock on the returned inpcb
INPLOOKUP_WLOCKPCB - Acquire a write lock on the returned inpcb
Callers must pass exactly one of these flags (for the time being).
Some notes:
- All protocols are updated to work within the new regime; especially,
TCP, UDPv4, and UDPv6. pcbinfo ipi_lock acquisitions are largely
eliminated, and global hash lock hold times are dramatically reduced
compared to previous locking.
- The TCP syncache still relies on the pcbinfo lock, something that we
may want to revisit.
- Support for reverting to the FreeBSD 7.x locking strategy in TCP input
is no longer available -- hash lookup locks are now held only very
briefly during inpcb lookup, rather than for potentially extended
periods. However, the pcbinfo ipi_lock will still be acquired if a
connection state might change such that a connection is added or
removed.
- Raw IP sockets continue to use the pcbinfo ipi_lock for protection,
due to maintaining their own hash tables.
- The interface in6_pcblookup_hash_locked() is maintained, which allows
callers to acquire hash locks and perform one or more lookups atomically
with 4-tuple allocation: this is required only for TCPv6, as there is no
in6_pcbconnect_setup(), which there should be.
- UDPv6 locking remains significantly more conservative than UDPv4
locking, which relates to source address selection. This needs
attention, as it likely significantly reduces parallelism in this code
for multithreaded socket use (such as in BIND).
- In the UDPv4 and UDPv6 multicast cases, we need to revisit locking
somewhat, as they relied on ipi_lock to stablise 4-tuple matches, which
is no longer sufficient. A second check once the inpcb lock is held
should do the trick, keeping the general case from requiring the inpcb
lock for every inpcb visited.
- This work reminds us that we need to revisit locking of the v4/v6 flags,
which may be accessed lock-free both before and after this change.
- Right now, a single lock name is used for the pcbhash lock -- this is
undesirable, and probably another argument is required to take care of
this (or a char array name field in the pcbinfo?).
This is not an MFC candidate for 8.x due to its impact on lookup and
locking semantics. It's possible some of these issues could be worked
around with compatibility wrappers, if necessary.

Control Algorithms for FreeBSD" FreeBSD Foundation funded project. More details
about the project are available at: http://caia.swin.edu.au/freebsd/5cc/
- Add a KPI and supporting infrastructure to allow modular congestion control
algorithms to be used in the net stack. Algorithms can maintain per-connection
state if required, and connections maintain their own algorithm pointer, which
allows different connections to concurrently use different algorithms. The
TCP_CONGESTION socket option can be used with getsockopt()/setsockopt() to
programmatically query or change the congestion control algorithm respectively
from within an application at runtime.
- Integrate the framework with the TCP stack in as least intrusive a manner as
possible. Care was also taken to develop the framework in a way that should
allow integration with other congestion aware transport protocols (e.g. SCTP)
in the future. The hope is that we will one day be able to share a single set
of congestion control algorithm modules between all congestion aware transport
protocols.
- Introduce a new congestion recovery (TF_CONGRECOVERY) state into the TCP stack
and use it to decouple the meaning of recovery from a congestion event and
recovery from packet loss (TF_FASTRECOVERY) a la RFC2581. ECN and delay based
congestion control protocols don't generally need to recover from packet loss
and need a different way to note a congestion recovery episode within the
stack.
- Remove the net.inet.tcp.newreno sysctl, which simplifies some portions of code
and ensures the stack always uses the appropriate mechanisms for recovering
from packet loss during a congestion recovery episode.
- Extract the NewReno congestion control algorithm from the TCP stack and
massage it into module form. NewReno is always built into the kernel and will
remain the default algorithm for the forseeable future. Implementations of
additional different algorithms will become available in the near future.
- Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900025 and note in UPDATING that rebuilding code
that relies on the size of "struct tcpcb" is required.

network stack memory allocator. Modify vnet to use the allocator
instead of monolithic global container structures (vinet, ...). This
change solves many binary compatibility problems associated with
VIMAGE, and restores ELF symbols for virtualized global variables.
Each virtualized global variable exists as a "reference copy", and also
once per virtual network stack. Virtualized global variables are
tagged at compile-time, placing the in a special linker set, which is
loaded into a contiguous region of kernel memory. Virtualized global
variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules
are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet
region with the help of a the kernel linker.
Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the
network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from
the reference copy. Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which
converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet
address. When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal
global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided.
This change restores static initialization for network stack global
variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates
the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem
structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for
monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the
per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the
need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate

while in principle a good idea, opened us up to a race inherrent to
the syncache's direct insertion of incoming TCP connections into the
"completed connection" listen queue, as it transpires that the socket
is inserted before the inpcb is fully filled in by syncache_expand().
The bug manifested with the occasional returning of 0.0.0.0:0 in the
address returned by the accept() system call, which occurred if accept
managed to execute tcp_usr_accept() before syncache_expand() had copied
the endpoint addresses into inpcb connection state.
Re-add tcbinfo locking around the address copyout, which has the effect
of delaying the copy until syncache_expand() has finished running, as
it is run while the tcbinfo lock is held. This is undesirable in that
it increases contention on tcbinfo further, but a more significant
change will be required to how the syncache inserts new sockets in
order to fix this and keep more granular locking here. In particular,
either more state needs to be passed into sonewconn() so that
pru_attach() can fill in the fields *before* the socket is inserted, or
the socket needs to be inserted in the incomplete connection queue
until it is actually ready to be used.
