- 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
works and will follow soon.
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

MFC after: ~3 months (after 9.1, and after ensuring MFC is feasible)
the TCP syncache. This returns struct tcpopt to being private within the TCP
implementation, thus allowing it to be modified without ABI concerns.
The patch breaks the ABI. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800103 accordingly. The cxgb
driver is the only TOE consumer affected by this change, and needs to be
recompiled along with the kernel.

- Rename output routines tcp_gen_* -> tcp_output_*.
- Rename notification routines that turn in to no-ops in the absence of TOE
from tcp_gen_* -> tcp_offload_*.
- Fix some minor comment nits.
