and t_maxseg. This dualism emerged with T/TCP, but was not properly cleaned
up after T/TCP removal. After all permutations over the years the result is
that t_maxopd stores a minimum of peer offered MSS and MTU reduced by minimum
protocol header. And t_maxseg stores (t_maxopd - TCPOLEN_TSTAMP_APPA) if
timestamps are in action, or is equal to t_maxopd otherwise. That's a very
rough estimate of MSS reduced by options length. Throughout the code it
was used in places, where preciseness was not important, like cwnd or
ssthresh calculations.
With this change:
- t_maxopd goes away.
- t_maxseg now stores MSS not adjusted by options.
- new function tcp_maxseg() is provided, that calculates MSS reduced by
options length. The functions gives a better estimate, since it takes
into account SACK state as well.

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 current TSO limitation feature only takes the total number of
bytes in an mbuf chain into account and does not limit by the number
of mbufs in a chain. Some kinds of hardware is limited by two
factors. One is the fragment length and the second is the fragment
count. Both of these limits need to be taken into account when doing
TSO. Else some kinds of hardware might have to drop completely valid
mbuf chains because they cannot loaded into the given hardware's DMA
engine. The new way of doing TSO limitation has been made backwards
compatible as input from other FreeBSD developers and will use
defaults for values not set.

there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

mixing on stack memory and UMA memory in one linked list.
Thus, rewrite TCP reassembly code in terms of memory usage. The
algorithm remains unchanged.
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.

Drivers can set ifp->if_hw_tsomax before calling ether_ifattach() to

The lowest allowable size is IP_MAXPACKET / 8 (8192 bytes) as anything
less wouldn't be very useful anymore. The upper limit is still at
IP_MAXPACKET (65536 bytes). Raising it requires further auditing of
the IPv4/v6 code path's as the length field in the IP header would
overflow leading to confusion in firewalls and others packet handler on
the real size of the packet.
