This makes it possible to retrieve per-connection statistical
information such as the receive window size, RTT, or goodput,
using a newly added TCP_STATS getsockopt(3) option, and extract
them using the stats_voistat_fetch(3) API.
See the net/tcprtt port for an example consumer of this API.
Compared to the existing TCP_INFO system, the main differences
are that this mechanism is easy to extend without breaking ABI,
and provides statistical information instead of raw "snapshots"
of values at a given point in time. stats(3) is more generic
and can be used in both userland and the kernel.

This adds the glue to allocate TLS sessions and invokes it from
the TLS enable socket option handler. This also adds some counters
for active TOE sessions.
The TOE KTLS mode is returned by getsockopt(TLSTX_TLS_MODE) when
TOE KTLS is in use on a socket, but cannot be set via setsockopt().
To simplify various checks, a TLS session now includes an explicit
'mode' member set to the value returned by TLSTX_TLS_MODE. Various
places that used to check 'sw_encrypt' against NULL to determine
software vs ifnet (NIC) TLS now check 'mode' instead.

KTLS adds support for in-kernel framing and encryption of Transport
Layer Security (1.0-1.2) data on TCP sockets. KTLS only supports
offload of TLS for transmitted data. Key negotation must still be
performed in userland. Once completed, transmit session keys for a
connection are provided to the kernel via a new TCP_TXTLS_ENABLE
socket option. All subsequent data transmitted on the socket is
placed into TLS frames and encrypted using the supplied keys.
Any data written to a KTLS-enabled socket via write(2), aio_write(2),
or sendfile(2) is assumed to be application data and is encoded in TLS
frames with an application data type. Individual records can be sent
with a custom type (e.g. handshake messages) via sendmsg(2) with a new
control message (TLS_SET_RECORD_TYPE) specifying the record type.
At present, rekeying is not supported though the in-kernel framework
should support rekeying.
KTLS makes use of the recently added unmapped mbufs to store TLS
frames in the socket buffer. Each TLS frame is described by a single
ext_pgs mbuf. The ext_pgs structure contains the header of the TLS
record (and trailer for encrypted records) as well as references to
the associated TLS session.
KTLS supports two primary methods of encrypting TLS frames: software
TLS and ifnet TLS.
Software TLS marks mbufs holding socket data as not ready via
M_NOTREADY similar to sendfile(2) when TLS framing information is
added to an unmapped mbuf in ktls_frame(). ktls_enqueue() is then
called to schedule TLS frames for encryption. In the case of
sendfile_iodone() calls ktls_enqueue() instead of pru_ready() leaving
the mbufs marked M_NOTREADY until encryption is completed. For other
writes (vn_sendfile when pages are available, write(2), etc.), the
PRUS_NOTREADY is set when invoking pru_send() along with invoking
ktls_enqueue().
A pool of worker threads (the "KTLS" kernel process) encrypts TLS
frames queued via ktls_enqueue(). Each TLS frame is temporarily
mapped using the direct map and passed to a software encryption
backend to perform the actual encryption.
(Note: The use of PHYS_TO_DMAP could be replaced with sf_bufs if
someone wished to make this work on architectures without a direct
map.)
KTLS supports pluggable software encryption backends. Internally,
Netflix uses proprietary pure-software backends. This commit includes
a simple backend in a new ktls_ocf.ko module that uses the kernel's
OpenCrypto framework to provide AES-GCM encryption of TLS frames. As
a result, software TLS is now a bit of a misnomer as it can make use
of hardware crypto accelerators.
Once software encryption has finished, the TLS frame mbufs are marked
ready via pru_ready(). At this point, the encrypted data appears as
regular payload to the TCP stack stored in unmapped mbufs.
ifnet TLS permits a NIC to offload the TLS encryption and TCP
segmentation. In this mode, a new send tag type (IF_SND_TAG_TYPE_TLS)
is allocated on the interface a socket is routed over and associated
with a TLS session. TLS records for a TLS session using ifnet TLS are
not marked M_NOTREADY but are passed down the stack unencrypted. The
ip_output_send() and ip6_output_send() helper functions that apply
send tags to outbound IP packets verify that the send tag of the TLS
record matches the outbound interface. If so, the packet is tagged
with the TLS send tag and sent to the interface. The NIC device
driver must recognize packets with the TLS send tag and schedule them
for TLS encryption and TCP segmentation. If the the outbound
interface does not match the interface in the TLS send tag, the packet
is dropped. In addition, a task is scheduled to refresh the TLS send
tag for the TLS session. If a new TLS send tag cannot be allocated,
the connection is dropped. If a new TLS send tag is allocated,
however, subsequent packets will be tagged with the correct TLS send
tag. (This latter case has been tested by configuring both ports of a
Chelsio T6 in a lagg and failing over from one port to another. As
the connections migrated to the new port, new TLS send tags were
allocated for the new port and connections resumed without being
dropped.)
ifnet TLS can be enabled and disabled on supported network interfaces
via new '[-]txtls[46]' options to ifconfig(8). ifnet TLS is supported
across both vlan devices and lagg interfaces using failover, lacp with
flowid enabled, or lacp with flowid enabled.
Applications may request the current KTLS mode of a connection via a
new TCP_TXTLS_MODE socket option. They can also use this socket
option to toggle between software and ifnet TLS modes.
In addition, a testing tool is available in tools/tools/switch_tls.
This is modeled on tcpdrop and uses similar syntax. However, instead
of dropping connections, -s is used to force KTLS connections to
switch to software TLS and -i is used to switch to ifnet TLS.
Various sysctls and counters are available under the kern.ipc.tls
sysctl node. The kern.ipc.tls.enable node must be set to true to
enable KTLS (it is off by default). The use of unmapped mbufs must
also be enabled via kern.ipc.mb_use_ext_pgs to enable KTLS.
KTLS is enabled via the KERN_TLS kernel option.
This patch is the culmination of years of work by several folks
including Scott Long and Randall Stewart for the original design and
implementation; Drew Gallatin for several optimizations including the
use of ext_pgs mbufs, the M_NOTREADY mechanism for TLS records
awaiting software encryption, and pluggable software crypto backends;
and John Baldwin for modifications to support hardware TLS offload.

* Try to use ia6 for in6_addr rather than in6p.
* With all these gone also rename the in6p variables to inp as

Unmapped mbufs allow sendfile to carry multiple pages of data in a
single mbuf, without mapping those pages. It is a requirement for
Netflix's in-kernel TLS, and provides a 5-10% CPU savings on heavy web
serving workloads when used by sendfile, due to effectively
compressing socket buffers by an order of magnitude, and hence
reducing cache misses.
For this new external mbuf buffer type (EXT_PGS), the ext_buf pointer
now points to a struct mbuf_ext_pgs structure instead of a data
buffer. This structure contains an array of physical addresses (this
reduces cache misses compared to an earlier version that stored an
array of vm_page_t pointers). It also stores additional fields needed
for in-kernel TLS such as the TLS header and trailer data that are
currently unused. To more easily detect these mbufs, the M_NOMAP flag
is set in m_flags in addition to M_EXT.
Various functions like m_copydata() have been updated to safely access
packet contents (using uiomove_fromphys()), to make things like BPF
safe.
NIC drivers advertise support for unmapped mbufs on transmit via a new
IFCAP_NOMAP capability. This capability can be toggled via the new
'nomap' and '-nomap' ifconfig(8) commands. For NIC drivers that only
transmit packet contents via DMA and use bus_dma, adding the
capability to if_capabilities and if_capenable should be all that is
required.
If a NIC does not support unmapped mbufs, they are converted to a
chain of mapped mbufs (using sf_bufs to provide the mapping) in
ip_output or ip6_output. If an unmapped mbuf requires software
checksums, it is also converted to a chain of mapped mbufs before
computing the checksum.

buffer to coalesce segments putting an emphasis on the two
common cases (which avoid walking the list of segments) i.e.
where we add to the back of the queue of segments and where we
add to the front. We also have the reassembly buffer supporting

The TCP Blackbox Recorder allows you to capture events on a TCP connection

the TCP header associated with an event (if the event is associated with a
packet) and also optionally stores information on the sockets.
It supports setting a log ID on a TCP connection and using this to correlate
multiple connections that share a common log ID.
You can log connections in different modes. If you are doing a coordinated
test with a particular connection, you may tell the system to put it in
mode 4 (continuous dump). Or, if you just want to monitor for errors, you
can put it in mode 1 (ring buffer) and dump all the ring buffers associated
with the connection ID when we receive an error signal for that connection
ID. You can set a default mode that will be applied to a particular ratio
of incoming connections. You can also manually set a mode using a socket
option.

packets and/or state transitions from each TCP socket. That would help with
narrowing down certain problems we see in the field that are hard to reproduce
without understanding the history of how we got into a certain state. This
change provides just that.
It saves copies of the last N packets in a list in the tcpcb. When the tcpcb is
destroyed, the list is freed. I thought this was likely to be more
performance-friendly than saving copies of the tcpcb. Plus, with the packets,
you should be able to reverse-engineer what happened to the tcpcb.
To enable the feature, you will need to compile a kernel with the TCPPCAP
option. Even then, the feature defaults to being deactivated. You can activate
it by setting a positive value for the number of captured packets. You can do
that on either a global basis or on a per-socket basis (via a setsockopt call).
There is no way to get the packets out of the kernel other than using kmem or
getting a coredump. I thought that would help some of the legal/privacy concerns
regarding such a feature. However, it should be possible to add a future effort
to export them in PCAP format.
I tested this at low scale, and found that there were no mbuf leaks and the peak
mbuf usage appeared to be unchanged with and without the feature.
The main performance concern I can envision is the number of mbufs that would be
used on systems with a large number of sockets. If you save five packets per
direction per socket and have 3,000 sockets, that will consume at least 30,000
mbufs just to keep these packets. I tried to reduce the concerns associated with
this by limiting the number of clusters (not mbufs) that could be used for this
feature. Again, in my testing, that appears to work correctly.

- The existing TCP INP_INFO lock continues to protect the global inpcb list
stability during full list traversal (e.g. tcp_pcblist()).
- A new INP_LIST lock protects inpcb list actual modifications (inp allocation
and free) and inpcb global counters.
It allows to use TCP INP_INFO_RLOCK lock in critical paths (e.g. tcp_input())
and INP_INFO_WLOCK only in occasional operations that walk all connections.

Thus, rewrite TCP reassembly code in terms of memory usage. The

We actually do not need extra memory to build a reassembly queue.
Arriving mbufs are always packet header mbufs. So we got the length
of data as pkthdr.len. We got m_nextpkt for linkage. And we need
only one pointer to point at the tcphdr, use PH_loc for that.
In tcpcb the t_segq fields becomes mbuf pointer. The t_segqlen
field now counts not packets, but bytes in the queue. This gives
us more precision when comparing to socket buffer limits.

- 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.

- 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.

In 'struct tcpcb' the variables previously used by the inflight

some more space for future extensions.
In 'struct tcp_info' the variable 'tcpi_snd_bwnd' is not removed to

In siftr.c in 'struct pkt_node' the variable 'snd_bwnd' is not removed

These unused variable in the various structures may be reused in the

point when an ABI change happens anyway for other reasons.
