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.

Each virtual interface has its own MAC address, queues, and statistics.
The dedicated netmap interfaces (ncxgbeX / ncxlX) were already implemented
as additional VIs on each port. This change allows additional non-netmap
interfaces to be configured on each port. Additional virtual interfaces
use the naming scheme vcxgbeX or vcxlX.
Additional VIs are enabled by setting the hw.cxgbe.num_vis tunable to a
value greater than 1 before loading the cxgbe(4) or cxl(4) driver.
NB: The first VI on each port is the "main" interface (cxgbeX or cxlX).
T4/T5 NICs provide a limited number of MAC addresses for each physical port.
As a result, a maximum of six VIs can be configured on each port (including
the "main" interface and the netmap interface when netmap is enabled).
One user-visible result is that when netmap is enabled, packets received
or transmitted via the netmap interface are no longer counted in the stats
for the "main" interface, but are not accounted to the netmap interface.
The netmap interfaces now also have a new-bus device and export various
information sysctl nodes via dev.n(cxgbe|cxl).X.
The cxgbetool 'clearstats' command clears the stats for all VIs on the
specified port along with the port's stats. There is currently no way to
clear the stats of an individual VI.

- 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.

includes support for the NIC and TOE features of the 40G, 10G, and
1G/100M cards based on the T5.
The ASIC is mostly backward compatible with the Terminator 4 so cxgbe(4)
has been updated instead of writing a brand new driver. T5 cards will
show up as cxl (short for cxlgb) ports attached to the t5nex bus driver.

embryonic connection has been setup and never attempt to abort a tid
before this is done. This fixes a bad race where a listening socket is
closed when the driver is in the middle of step (b) here. The symptom
of this were "ARP miss" errors from the driver followed by tid leaks.
A hardware-offloaded passive open works this way:
a) A SYN "hits" the TCAM entry for a server tid and the chip delivers it
to the queue associated with the server tid (say, queue A). It waits
for a response from the driver telling it what to do.
b) The driver decides it is ok to proceed. It adds the new tid to the
list of embryonic connections associated with the server tid and then
hands off the SYN to the kernel's syncache to make sure that the kernel
okays it too. If it does then the driver provides an L2 table entry,
queue id (say, queue B), etc. and instructs the chip to send the SYN/ACK
response.
c) The chip delivers a status to queue B depending on how the third step
of the 3-way handshake goes. The driver removes the tid from its list
of embryonic connections and either expands the syncache entry or
destroys the tid. In any case all subsequent messages for the new tid
will be delivered to queue B, not queue A. Anything running in queue B
knows that the L2 entry has long been setup and the new flag is of no
interest from here on. If the listener is closed it will deal with
so_comp as normal.

Basically, this is automatic rx zero copy when feasible. TCP payload is

- Works with sockets that are being handled by the TCP offload engine
of a T4 chip (you need t4_tom.ko module loaded after cxgbe, and an
"ifconfig +toe" on the cxgbe interface).
- Does not require any modification to the application.
- Not enabled by default. Use hw.t4nex.<X>.toe.ddp="1" to enable it.
TCB. Filters are programmed by modifying the TCB too (via a different
routine) and the reply to any TCB update is delivered via a

- Stateful TCP offload drivers for Terminator 3 and 4 (T3 and T4) ASICs.
These are available as t3_tom and t4_tom modules that augment cxgb(4)
and cxgbe(4) respectively. The cxgb/cxgbe drivers continue to work as
usual with or without these extra features.
- iWARP driver for Terminator 3 ASIC (kernel verbs). T4 iWARP in the

Build-tested with make universe.
30s overview
============
What interfaces support TCP offload? Look for TOE4 and/or TOE6 in the
capabilities of an interface:
# ifconfig -m | grep TOE
Enable/disable TCP offload on an interface (just like any other ifnet
capability):
# ifconfig cxgbe0 toe
# ifconfig cxgbe0 -toe
Which connections are offloaded? Look for toe4 and/or toe6 in the
output of netstat and sockstat:
# netstat -np tcp | grep toe
# sockstat -46c | grep toe
