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.

interface allows the ifnet structure to be defined as an opaque
type in NIC drivers. This then allows the ifnet structure to be
changed without a need to change or recompile NIC drivers.
Put differently, NIC drivers can be written and compiled once and
be used with different network stack implementations, provided of
course that those network stack implementations have an API and
ABI compatible interface.
This commit introduces the 'if_t' type to replace 'struct ifnet *'
as the type of a network interface. The 'if_t' type is defined as
'void *' to enable the compiler to perform type conversion to
'struct ifnet *' and vice versa where needed and without warnings.
The functions that implement the API are the only functions that
need to have an explicit cast.
The MII code has been converted to use the driver API to avoid
unnecessary code churn. Code churn comes from having to work with
both converted and unconverted drivers in correlation with having
callback functions that take an interface. By converting the MII
code first, the callback functions can be defined so that the
compiler will perform the typecasts automatically.
As soon as all drivers have been converted, the if_t type can be
redefined as needed and the API functions can be fix to not need
an explicit cast.
The immediate benefactors of this change are:
1. Juniper Networks - The network stack implementation in Junos
is entirely different from FreeBSD's one and this change
allows Juniper to build "stock" NIC drivers that can be used
in combination with both the FreeBSD and Junos stacks.
2. FreeBSD - This change opens the door towards changing ifnet
and implementing new features and optimizations in the network
stack without it requiring a change in the many NIC drivers
FreeBSD has.

Since radix has been ignoring sa_family in passed sockaddrs,
no one ever has bothered filling valid sa_family in netmasks.
Additionally, radix adjusts sa_len field in every netmask not to
compare zero bytes at all.
This leads us to rt_mask with sa_family of AF_UNSPEC (-1) and
arbitrary sa_len field (0 for default route, for example).
However, rtsock have been passing that rt_mask intact for ages,
requiring all rtsock consumers to make ther own local hacks.

network interfaces limited to 32 transmit segments, there
are two known issues.
The more serious one is that for an I/O of slightly less than 64K,
the net device driver prepends an ethernet header, resulting in a
TSO segment slightly larger than 64K. Since m_defrag() copies this
into 33 mbuf clusters, the transmit fails with EFBIG.
A tester indicated observing a similar failure using iSCSI.
The second less critical problem is that the network
device driver must copy the mbuf chain via m_defrag()
(m_collapse() is not sufficient), resulting in measurable overhead.
This patch reduces the default size of if_hw_tsomax
slightly, so that the first issue is avoided.
Fixing the second issue will require a way for the
network device driver to inform tcp_output() that it
is limited to 32 transmit segments.

This KASSERT() existed as a sanity check that upper layers in the network
stack (e.g. inet, inet6) had released their reference to the underlying
driver's multicast memberships (ifmultiaddr{}). However it assumes the
lifecycle of the driver membership corresponds to the lifecycle of the
network layer membership.
In the submitter's case, ieee80211_ioctl_updatemulti() attempts to
reprogram the (parent, physical) ifnet{} memberships in response
to a change in membership on the (child, virtual) VAP ifnet, using
a batched update mechanism. These updates happen independently from
the network layer, causing a "false negative" assertion failure.
There are possibly other use cases where this KASSERT() may be triggered
by other networking stack activity (e.g. where a nesting relationship
exists between multiple ifnet{} instances). This suggests that further
review of FreeBSD's approach to nested ifnet relationships is needed.

linking NIC Receive Side Scaling (RSS) to the network stack's
connection-group implementation. This prototype (and derived patches)
are in use at Juniper and several other FreeBSD-using companies, so
despite some reservations about its maturity, merge the patch to the
base tree so that it can be iteratively refined in collaboration rather
than maintained as a set of gradually diverging patch sets.
(1) Merge a software implementation of the Toeplitz hash specified in
RSS implemented by David Malone. This is used to allow suitable
pcbgroup placement of connections before the first packet is
received from the NIC. Software hashing is generally avoided,
however, due to high cost of the hash on general-purpose CPUs.
(2) In in_rss.c, maintain authoritative versions of RSS state intended
to be pushed to each NIC, including keying material, hash
algorithm/ configuration, and buckets. Provide software-facing
interfaces to hash 2- and 4-tuples for IPv4 and IPv6 using both
the RSS standardised Toeplitz and a 'naive' variation with a hash
efficient in software but with poor distribution properties.
Implement rss_m2cpuid()to be used by netisr and other load
balancing code to look up the CPU on which an mbuf should be
processed.
(3) In the Ethernet link layer, allow netisr distribution using RSS as
a source of policy as an alternative to source ordering; continue
to default to direct dispatch (i.e., don't try and requeue packets
for processing on the 'right' CPU if they arrive in a directly
dispatchable context).
(4) Allow RSS to control tuning of connection groups in order to align
groups with RSS buckets. If a packet arrives on a protocol using
connection groups, and contains a suitable hardware-generated
hash, use that hash value to select the connection group for pcb
lookup for both IPv4 and IPv6. If no hardware-generated Toeplitz
hash is available, we fall back on regular PCB lookup risking
contention rather than pay the cost of Toeplitz in software --
this is a less scalable but, at my last measurement, faster
approach. As core counts go up, we may want to revise this
strategy despite CPU overhead.
Where device drivers suitably configure NICs, and connection groups /
RSS are enabled, this should avoid both lock and line contention during
connection lookup for TCP. This commit does not modify any device
drivers to tune device RSS configuration to the global RSS
configuration; patches are in circulation to do this for at least
Chelsio T3 and Intel 1G/10G drivers. Currently, the KPI for device
drivers is not particularly robust, nor aware of more advanced features
such as runtime reconfiguration/rebalancing. This will hopefully prove
a useful starting point for refinement.
No MFC is scheduled as we will first want to nail down a more mature
and maintainable KPI/KBI for device drivers.

AppleTalk was a network transport protocol for Apple Macintosh devices
in 80s and then 90s. Starting with Mac OS X in 2000 the AppleTalk was
a legacy protocol and primary networking protocol is TCP/IP. The last
Mac OS X release to support AppleTalk happened in 2009. The same year
routing equipment vendors (namely Cisco) end their support.
Thus, AppleTalk won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
