Originally IFCAP_NOMAP meant that the mbuf has external storage pointer
that points to unmapped address. Then, this was extended to array of
such pointers. Then, such mbufs were augmented with header/trailer.
Basically, extended mbufs are extended, and set of features is subject
to change. The new name should be generic enough to avoid further
renaming.
By default, if a TOE TLS socket stops receiving data for more than 5
seconds, revert the connection back to plain TOE mode. This provides
a fallback if the userland SSL library does not support KTLS. In
addition, for client TLS 1.3 sockets using connect(), the TOE socket
blocks before the handshake has completed since the socket option is
only invoked for the final handshake.
The timeout defaults to 5 seconds, but can be changed at boot via the
hw.cxgbe.toe.tls_rx_timeout tunable or for an individual interface via
the dev.<nexus>.toe.tls_rx_timeout sysctl.

This adds support for ifnet (NIC) KTLS using Chelsio T6 adapters.
Unlike the TOE-based KTLS in r353328, NIC TLS works with non-TOE
connections.
NIC KTLS on T6 is not able to use the normal TSO (LSO) path to segment
the encrypted TLS frames output by the crypto engine. Instead, the
TOE is placed into a special setup to permit "dummy" connections to be
associated with regular sockets using KTLS. This permits using the
TOE to segment the encrypted TLS records. However, this approach does
have some limitations:
1) Regular TOE sockets cannot be used when the TOE is in this special
mode. One can use either TOE and TOE-based KTLS or NIC KTLS, but
not both at the same time.
2) In NIC KTLS mode, the TOE is only able to accept a per-connection
timestamp offset that varies in the upper 4 bits. Put another way,
only connections whose timestamp offset has the 28 lower bits
cleared can use NIC KTLS and generate correct timestamps. The
driver will refuse to enable NIC KTLS on connections with a
timestamp offset with any of the lower 28 bits set. To use NIC
KTLS, users can either disable TCP timestamps by setting the
net.inet.tcp.rfc1323 sysctl to 0, or apply a local patch to the
tcp_new_ts_offset() function to clear the lower 28 bits of the
generated offset.
3) Because the TCP segmentation relies on fields mirrored in a TCB in
the TOE, not all fields in a TCP packet can be sent in the TCP
segments generated from a TLS record. Specifically, for packets
containing TCP options other than timestamps, the driver will
inject an "empty" TCP packet holding the requested options (e.g. a
SACK scoreboard) along with the segments from the TLS record.
These empty TCP packets are counted by the
dev.cc.N.txq.M.kern_tls_options sysctls.
Unlike TOE TLS which is able to buffer encrypted TLS records in
on-card memory to handle retransmits, NIC KTLS must re-encrypt TLS
records for retransmit requests as well as non-retransmit requests
that do not include the start of a TLS record but do include the
trailer. The T6 NIC KTLS code tries to optimize some of the cases for
requests to transmit partial TLS records. In particular it attempts
to minimize sending "waste" bytes that have to be given as input to
the crypto engine but are not needed on the wire to satisfy mbufs sent
from the TCP stack down to the driver.
TCP packets for TLS requests are broken down into the following
classes (with associated counters):
- Mbufs that send an entire TLS record in full do not have any waste
bytes (dev.cc.N.txq.M.kern_tls_full).
- Mbufs that send a short TLS record that ends before the end of the
trailer (dev.cc.N.txq.M.kern_tls_short). For sockets using AES-CBC,
the encryption must always start at the beginning, so if the mbuf
starts at an offset into the TLS record, the offset bytes will be
"waste" bytes. For sockets using AES-GCM, the encryption can start
at the 16 byte block before the starting offset capping the waste at
15 bytes.
- Mbufs that send a partial TLS record that has a non-zero starting
offset but ends at the end of the trailer
(dev.cc.N.txq.M.kern_tls_partial). In order to compute the
authentication hash stored in the trailer, the entire TLS record
must be sent as input to the crypto engine, so the bytes before the
offset are always "waste" bytes.
In addition, other per-txq sysctls are provided:
- dev.cc.N.txq.M.kern_tls_cbc: Count of sockets sent via this txq
using AES-CBC.
- dev.cc.N.txq.M.kern_tls_gcm: Count of sockets sent via this txq
using AES-GCM.
- dev.cc.N.txq.M.kern_tls_fin: Count of empty FIN-only packets sent to
compensate for the TOE engine not being able to set FIN on the last
segment of a TLS record if the TLS record mbuf had FIN set.
- dev.cc.N.txq.M.kern_tls_records: Count of TLS records sent via this
txq including full, short, and partial records.
- dev.cc.N.txq.M.kern_tls_octets: Count of non-waste bytes (TLS header
and payload) sent for TLS record requests.
- dev.cc.N.txq.M.kern_tls_waste: Count of waste bytes sent for TLS
record requests.

- Perform ifp mismatch checks (to determine if a send tag is allocated
for a different ifp than the one the packet is being output on), in
ip_output() and ip6_output(). This avoids sending packets with send
tags to ifnet drivers that don't support send tags.
Since we are now checking for ifp mismatches before invoking
if_output, we can now try to allocate a new tag before invoking
if_output sending the original packet on the new tag if allocation
succeeds.
To avoid code duplication for the fragment and unfragmented cases,
add ip_output_send() and ip6_output_send() as wrappers around
if_output and nd6_output_ifp, respectively. All of the logic for
setting send tags and dealing with send tag-related errors is done
in these wrapper functions.
For pseudo interfaces that wrap other network interfaces (vlan and
lagg), wrapper send tags are now allocated so that ip*_output see
the wrapper ifp as the ifp in the send tag. The if_transmit
routines rewrite the send tags after performing an ifp mismatch
check. If an ifp mismatch is detected, the transmit routines fail
with EAGAIN.
- To provide clearer life cycle management of send tags, especially
in the presence of vlan and lagg wrapper tags, add a reference count
to send tags managed via m_snd_tag_ref() and m_snd_tag_rele().
Provide a helper function (m_snd_tag_init()) for use by drivers
supporting send tags. m_snd_tag_init() takes care of the if_ref
on the ifp meaning that code alloating send tags via if_snd_tag_alloc
no longer has to manage that manually. Similarly, m_snd_tag_rele
drops the refcount on the ifp after invoking if_snd_tag_free when
the last reference to a send tag is dropped.
This also closes use after free races if there are pending packets in
driver tx rings after the socket is closed (e.g. from tcpdrop).
In order for m_free to work reliably, add a new CSUM_SND_TAG flag in
csum_flags to indicate 'snd_tag' is set (rather than 'rcvif').
Drivers now also check this flag instead of checking snd_tag against
NULL. This avoids false positive matches when a forwarded packet
has a non-NULL rcvif that was treated as a send tag.
- cxgbe was relying on snd_tag_free being called when the inp was
detached so that it could kick the firmware to flush any pending
work on the flow. This is because the driver doesn't require ACK
messages from the firmware for every request, but instead does a
kind of manual interrupt coalescing by only setting a flag to
request a completion on a subset of requests. If all of the
in-flight requests don't have the flag when the tag is detached from
the inp, the flow might never return the credits. The current
snd_tag_free command issues a flush command to force the credits to
return. However, the credit return is what also frees the mbufs,
and since those mbufs now hold references on the tag, this meant
that snd_tag_free would never be called.
To fix, explicitly drop the mbuf's reference on the snd tag when the
mbuf is queued in the firmware work queue. This means that once the
inp's reference on the tag goes away and all in-flight mbufs have
been queued to the firmware, tag's refcount will drop to zero and
snd_tag_free will kick in and send the flush request. Note that we
need to avoid doing this in the middle of ethofld_tx(), so the
driver grabs a temporary reference on the tag around that loop to
defer the free to the end of the function in case it sends the last
mbuf to the queue after the inp has dropped its reference on the
tag.
- mlx5 preallocates send tags and was using the ifp pointer even when
the send tag wasn't in use. Explicitly use the ifp from other data
structures instead.
- Sprinkle some assertions in various places to assert that received
packets don't have a send tag, and that other places that overwrite
rcvif (e.g. 802.11 transmit) don't clobber a send tag pointer.
