of scheduling next run pfsync_bulk_update(), pfsync_bulk_fail()
was scheduled.
This lead to instant 100% state leak after first bulk update
request.
- After above fix, it appeared that pfsync_bulk_update() lacks
locking. To fix this, sc_bulk_tmo callout was converted to an
mtx one. Eventually, all pf/pfsync callouts should be converted
to mtx version, since it isn't possible to stop or drain a
non-mtx callout without risk of race.
- Add comment that callout_stop() in pfsync_clone_destroy() lacks
locking. Since pfsync0 can't be destroyed (yet), let it be here.
The root of problem is re-locking at the end of pfsync_sendout().
Several functions are calling pfsync_sendout() holding pointers
to pf data on stack, and these functions expect this data to be
consistent.
To fix this, the following approach was taken:
- The pfsync_sendout() doesn't call ip_output() directly, but
enqueues the mbuf on sc->sc_ifp's interfaces queue, that
is currently unused. Then pfsync netisr is scheduled. PF_LOCK
isn't dropped in pfsync_sendout().
- The netisr runs through queue and ip_output()s packets
on it.
Apart from fixing race, this also decouples stack, fixing
potential issues, that may happen, when sending pfsync(4)
packets on input path.

This does not neccessarily improve locking in pfsync, it just tries

pfsync also depends on pf to be initialized already so pf goes at
FIRST and the interfaces go at ANY.
Then the (VNET_)SYSINIT startups for pf stays at SI_SUB_PROTO_BEGIN
and for pfsync we move to the later SI_SUB_PROTO_IF.
This is not ideal either but at least an order that should work for
the moment and can be re-fined with the VIMAGE merge, once this will

- 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.

all pertinent statatistics for the subsystem. These structures are
sometimes "borrowed" by kernel modules that require a place to store
statistics for similar events.
Add KPI accessor functions for statistics structures referenced by kernel
modules so that they no longer encode certain specifics of how the data
structures are named and stored. This change is intended to make it
easier to move to per-CPU network stats following 8.0-RELEASE.
The following modules are affected by this change:
if_bridge
if_cxgb
if_gif
ip_mroute
ipdivert

In practice, most of these statistics consumers should, in fact, maintain
their own statistics data structures rather than borrowing structures
from the base network stack. However, that change is too agressive for
this point in the release cycle.

(DPCPU), as suggested by Peter Wemm, and implement a new per-virtual
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
definitions of virtualized globals under VIMAGE_GLOBALS.

of 1 when including net/vnet.h and array sizes are wrong.
This does not change the list of files which depend on opt_route.h
but we can identify them now more easily.
Even though the code seems to be FreeBSD kernel code, it isn't compiled
on FreeBSD. I could have known this, because I was a little amazed that
I couldn't find a prototype of pfopen()/pfclose() somewhere else,
because it isn't marked as static.
Apart from that, removing these functions wouldn't have been harmful
anyway, because there are some other strange things about them (the
implementation isn't consistent with the prototype at the top). Still,
it's better to leave it, because it makes merging code back to older
branches a little harder.

1. separating L2 tables (ARP, NDP) from the L3 routing tables
2. removing as much locking dependencies among these layers as
possible to allow for some parallelism in the search operations
3. simplify the logic in the routing code,
The most notable end result is the obsolescent of the route
cloning (RTF_CLONING) concept, which translated into code reduction
in both IPv4 ARP and IPv6 NDP related modules, and size reduction in
struct rtentry{}. The change in design obsoletes the semantics of
RTF_CLONING, RTF_WASCLONE and RTF_LLINFO routing flags. The userland
applications such as "arp" and "ndp" have been modified to reflect
those changes. The output from "netstat -r" shows only the routing
entries.
Quite a few developers have contributed to this project in the
past: Glebius Smirnoff, Luigi Rizzo, Alessandro Cerri, and
Andre Oppermann. And most recently:
- Kip Macy revised the locking code completely, thus completing
the last piece of the puzzle, Kip has also been conducting
active functional testing
- Sam Leffler has helped me improving/refactoring the code, and
provided valuable reviews
- Julian Elischer setup the perforce tree for me and has helped
me maintaining that branch before the svn conversion
