Symptom: when a single extmem memory region is provided to netmap
multiple times, for multiple interfaces, the memory region is
never released by netmap once all the existing file descriptors
are closed.
Fix the relevant condition in netmap_mem_drop(): release the memory
when the last user of netmap_adapter is gone, rather then when
the last user of netmap_mem_d is gone.

We must make sure that incoming packets will never overflow the netmap
buffers, even when the user is using the offset feature. In the typical
scenario, the netmap buffer is 2KiB and, with an MTU of 1500, there are
~500 bytes available for user offsets.
Unfortunately, some NICs accept incoming packets even when they are
larger then the MTU. This means that the only way to stop DMA from
overflowing the netmap buffers, when offsets are allowed, is to choose
a hardware buffer length which is smaller than the netmap buffer
length. For most NICs and for 2KiB netmap buffers, this means 1024
bytes, which is unconveniently small.
The current code will select the small hardware buf size even when
offsets are not in use. The main purpose of this change is to
fix this bug by returning to the normal behavior for the no-offsets
case.
At the same time, the patch pushes the handling of the offset case
to the lower level driver code, so that it can be made NIC-specific
(in future patches).
This is the April update to vendor/wpa committed upstream
2021/04/07.
This is MFV efec822389.

Before this patch we relied on capturing the down/up events which,
however, may not be issued by all drivers.

The netmap monitor intercepts any TX/RX packets on the monitored
port. However, before this change there was no way to tell
whether an intercepted packet was being transmitted or received
on the monitored port.
A TXMON flag in the netmap slot has been added for this purpose.
This feature enables applications to ask netmap to transmit or
receive packets starting at a user-specified offset from the
beginning of the netmap buffer. This is meant to ease those
packet manipulation operations such as pushing or popping packet
headers, that may be useful to implement software switches,
routers and other packet processors.
To use the feature, drivers (e.g., iflib, vtnet, etc.) must have
explicit support. This change does not add support for any driver,
but introduces the necessary kernel changes. However, offsets support
is already included for VALE ports and pipes.
The netmap_ioctl() function has a reference counting bug in case of
NETMAP_REQ_PORT_INFO_GET command. When `hdr->nr_name[0] == '\0'`,
the function does not decrease the refcount of "nmd", which is
increased by netmap_mem_find(), causing a refcount leak.

Similarly to what done for iflib in 1d238b07d5,
this patch prevents access to the krings during the interface
reset triggered by netmap_register().
MFC after: 1 week
The netmap_reset() function is meant to be called by the driver
when they initialize (or re-initialize) a hardware ring.
However, since the introduction of support for opening (in
netmap mode) a subset of the available rings, netmap_reset()
may be called multiple times on actively used rings, causing
both kring and netmap ring to transition to an inconsistent
state.
This changes improves the situation by resetting all the
indices fields of the kring to 0, as expected after the
reinitialization of a hardware ring.

When different processes open separate subsets of the
available rings of a same netmap interface, a device
reset may be performed while one of the processes
is actively using some rings (e.g., caused by another
process executing a nmport_open()).
With this patch, such situation will cause the
active process to get a POLLERR, so that it can
have a chance to detect the situation.
We also guarantee that no process is running a txsync
or rxsync (ioctl or poll) while an iflib device reset
is in progress.

The nm_register callback needs to call nm_set_native_flags()
or nm_clear_native_flags() once the device has been stopped.
However, in the current implementation this is not true,
as the device is stopped by vtnet_init_locked(). This causes
race conditions where the driver crashes as soon as it
dequeues netmap buffers assuming they are mbufs (or the other
way around).
To fix the issue, we extend vtnet_init_locked() with a second
argument that, if not zero, will set/clear the netmap flags.
This results in a huge simplification of the nm_register
callback itself.
Also, use netmap_reset() to check if a ring is going to be
re-initialized in netmap mode.

This change prevents a race that happens when rxsync dequeues
N-1 rx packets (with N being the size of the netmap rx ring).
In this situation, the loop exits without re-enabling the

The new index tracks the next netmap slot that is going
to be enqueued into the virtqueue. The index is necessary
to prevent the receive VQ and the netmap rx ring from going
out of sync, considering that we never enqueue N slots, but
at most N-1. This change fixes a bug that causes the VQ
and the netmap ring to go out of sync after N-1 packets
have been received.

removed from objects including calls to free. Pages must not be xbusy
when freed and not on an object. Strengthen assertions to match these
expectations. In practice very little code had to change busy handling
to meet these rules but we can now make stronger guarantees to busy

This patch is part of an effort to make bhyve networking (in particular TCP)
faster. The key strategy to enhance TCP throughput is to let the whole packet
datapath work with TSO/LRO packets (up to 64KB each), so that the per-packet
overhead is amortized over a large number of bytes.
This capability is supported in the guest by means of the vtnet(4) driver,
which is able to handle TSO/LRO packets leveraging the virtio-net header
(see struct virtio_net_hdr and struct virtio_net_hdr_mrg_rxbuf).
A bhyve VM exchanges packets with the host through a network backend,
which can be vale(4) or if_tap(4).
While vale(4) supports TSO/LRO packets, if_tap(4) does not.
This patch extends if_tap(4) with the ability to understand the virtio-net
header, so that a tapX interface can process TSO/LRO packets.
A couple of ioctl commands have been added to configure and probe the
virtio-net header. Once the virtio-net header is set, the tapX interface
acquires all the IFCAP capabilities necessary for TSO/LRO.
