features. The changes in particular are:
o Remove rarely used "header" pointer and replace it with a 64bit protocol/
layer specific union PH_loc for local use. Protocols can flexibly overlay
their own 8 to 64 bit fields to store information while the packet is
worked on.
o Mechanically convert IP reassembly, IGMP/MLD and ATM to use pkthdr.PH_loc
instead of pkthdr.header.
o Extend csum_flags to 64bits to allow for additional future offload
information to be carried (e.g. iSCSI, IPsec offload, and others).
o Move the RSS hash type enumerator from abusing m_flags to its own 8bit
rsstype field. Adjust accessor macros.
o Add cosqos field to store Class of Service / Quality of Service information
with the packet. It is not yet supported in any drivers but allows us to
get on par with Cisco/Juniper in routing applications (plus MPLS QoS) with
a modernized ALTQ.
o Add four 8 bit fields l[2-5]hlen to store the relative header offsets
from the start of the packet. This is important for various offload
capabilities and to relieve the drivers from having to parse the packet
and protocol headers to find out location of checksums and other
information. Header parsing in drivers is a lot of copy-paste and
unhandled corner cases which we want to avoid.
o Add another flexible 64bit union to map various additional persistent
packet information, like ether_vtag, tso_segsz and csum fields.
Depending on the csum_flags settings some fields may have different usage
making it very flexible and adaptable to future capabilities.
o Restructure the CSUM flags to better signify their outbound (down the
stack) and inbound (up the stack) use. The CSUM flags used to be a bit
chaotic and rather poorly documented leading to incorrect use in many
places. Bring clarity into their use through better naming.
Compatibility mappings are provided to preserve the API. The drivers
can be corrected one by one and MFC'd without issue.
o The size of pkthdr stays the same at 48/56bytes (32/64bit architectures).

command register. The lazy BAR allocation code in FreeBSD sometimes
disables this bit when it detects a range conflict, and will re-enable
it on demand when a driver allocates the BAR. Thus, the bit is no longer
a reliable indication of capability, and should not be checked. This
results in the elimination of a lot of code from drivers, and also gives
the opportunity to simplify a lot of drivers to use a helper API to set

of the newer drivers. The basic problem was
that the driver was pulling the mbuf off the
drbr ring and then when sending with xmit(), encounting
a full transmit ring. Thus the lower layer
xmit() function would return an error, and the
drivers would then append the data back on to the ring.
For TCP this is a horrible scenario sure to bring
on a fast-retransmit.
The fix is to use drbr_peek() to pull the data pointer
but not remove it from the ring. If it fails then
we either call the new drbr_putback or drbr_advance
method. Advance moves it forward (we do this sometimes
when the xmit() function frees the mbuf). When
we succeed we always call advance. The
putback will always copy the mbuf back to the top
of the ring. Note that the putback *cannot* be used
with a drbr_dequeue() only with drbr_peek(). We most
of the time, in putback, would not need to copy it
back since most likey the mbuf is still the same, but
sometimes xmit() functions will change the mbuf via
a pullup or other call. So the optimial case for
the single consumer is to always copy it back. If
we ever do a multiple_consumer (for lagg?) we
will need a test and atomic in the put back possibly
a seperate putback_mc() in the ring buf.

comments for clarity.
these are FCOE stats (fiber channel over ethernet), something that
FreeBSD does not yet have, they were mistaken for flow control by

by my validation engineer to make these stats have the same name as

- Testing TSO6 has led me to discover that HW RSC is
a problematic feature, it is ONLY designed to work
with IPv4 in the first place, and if IP forwarding
is done it can't be disabled as LRO in the stack,
also initial testing we've done at Intel shows an
equal performance using TSO[46] on the TX and LRO
on RX, if you ran older code on 82599 or later hardware
you actually could have detrimental performance for
this reason. So I am disabling the feature by default
and all our adapters will now use LRO instead.
- If you have flow control off and multiple queues it
was possible when the buffer of one queue becomes
full that all RX movement is stalled, to eliminate
this problem a feature bit is now set that will allow
packets to be dropped when full rather than stall.
Note, the default is to have flow control on, and this
keeps this from happening.
- Because of the recent fixes in the stack, LRO is now
auto-disabled when problematic, so I have decided to
enable it by default in the capabilities in the driver.
- There are some 1G modules used by some customers, a couple
small tweaks to properly support those in the media code.
- A note: we have now done some testing of TSO6 and using
LRO with IPv6 and it all works great!! Seeing line rate

tree used it incorrectly, which lead to inaccurate overrated
if_obytes accounting. The drbr(9) used to update ifnet stats on
drbr_enqueue(), which is not accurate since enqueuing doesn't
imply successful processing by driver. Dequeuing neither mean
that. Most drivers also called drbr_stats_update() which did
accounting again, leading to doubled if_obytes statistics. And
in case of severe transmitting, when a packet could be several
times enqueued and dequeued it could have been accounted several
times.
o Thus, make drbr(9) API thinner. Now drbr(9) merely chooses between
ALTQ queueing or buf_ring(9) queueing.
- It doesn't touch the buf_ring stats any more.
- It doesn't touch ifnet stats anymore.
- drbr_stats_update() no longer exists.
o buf_ring(9) handles its stats itself:
- It handles br_drops itself.
- br_prod_bytes stats are dropped. Rationale: no one ever
reads them but update of a common counter on every packet
negatively affects performance due to excessive cache
invalidation.
- buf_ring_enqueue_bytes() reduced to buf_ring_enqueue(), since
we no longer account bytes.
o Drivers handle their stats theirselves: if_obytes, if_omcasts.
o mlx4(4), igb(4), em(4), vxge(4), oce(4) and ixv(4) no longer
use drbr_stats_update(), and update ifnet stats theirselves.
o bxe(4) was the most correct driver, it didn't call
drbr_stats_update(), thus it was the only driver accurate under
moderate load. Now it also maintains stats itself.
o ixgbe(4) had already taken stats from hardware, so just
- drop software stats updating.
- take multicast packet count from hardware as well.
o mxge(4) just no longer needs NO_SLOW_STATS define.

itself via the taskqueue_enqueue. Since all CPUs were busy with their

is standard in the above driver suggests that it has no bad side
effects.
But of course there must be a reason for enabling features, not
just "it does not harm", so here it is a good one:
Prefetching enables full line rate even using a single queue (14.88
Mpps, compared to ~12 Mpps without prefetch). This in turn is
terribly useful when one wants to schedule traffic.
For obvious reasons the difference is only visible with netmap
or other high speed solutions, but presumably the advantage
should be in the order of a fraction of a microsecond when
starting transmission on an empty queue.

USERSPACE:
1. add support for devices with different number of rx and tx queues;
2. add better support for zero-copy operation, adding an extra field
to the netmap ring to indicate how many buffers we have already processed
but not yet released (with help from Eddie Kohler);
3. The two changes above unfortunately require an API change, so while
at it add a version field and some spares to the ioctl() argument
to help detect mismatches.
4. update the manual page for the two changes above;
5. update sample applications in tools/tools/netmap
KERNEL:
1. simplify the internal structures moving the global wait queues
to the 'struct netmap_adapter';
2. simplify the functions that map kring<->nic ring indexes
3. normalize device-specific code, helps mainteinance;
4. start exploring the impact of micro-optimizations (prefetch etc.)
in the ixgbe driver.
Use 'legacy' descriptors on the tx ring and prefetch slots gives
about 20% speedup at 900 MHz. Another 7-10% would come from removing
the explict calls to bus_dmamap* in the core (they are effectively
NOPs in this case, but it takes expensive load of the per-buffer
dma maps to figure out that they are all NULL.
Rx performance not investigated.
I am postponing the MFC so i can import a few more improvements
before merging.
Introduce some functions to map NIC ring indexes into netmap ring
indexes and vice versa. This way we can implement the bound
checks only in one place (and hopefully in a correct way).
On passing, make the code and comments more uniform across the
various drivers.
- remove experimental code for disabling CRC
- use the correct constant for conversion between interrupt rate
and EITR values (the previous values were off by a factor of 2)
- make dev.ix.N.queueM.interrupt_rate a RW sysctl variable.
Changing individual values affects the queue immediately,
and propagates to all interfaces at the next reinit.
- add dev.ix.N.queueM.irqs rdonly sysctl, to export the actual
interrupt counts
Netmap-related changes for ixgbe:
- use the "new" format for TX descriptors in netmap mode.
- pass interrupt mitigation delays to the user process doing poll()
on a netmap file descriptor.
On the RX side this means we will not check the ring more than once
per interrupt. This gives the process a chance to sleep and process
packets in larger batches, thus reducing CPU usage.
On the TX side we take this even further: completed transmissions are
reclaimed every half ring even if the NIC interrupts more often.
This saves even more CPU without any additional tx delays.
Generic Netmap-related changes:
- align the netmap_kring to cache lines so that there is no false sharing
(possibly useful for multiqueue NICs and MSIX interrupts, which are
handled by different cores). It's a minor improvement but it does not
cost anything.

1. correct the initialization of RDT when there is an ixgbe_init()
while a netmap client is active. This code was previously

2. add code (not active yet) to disable CRCSTRIP while in netmap mode.
From all evidence i could gather, it seems that when the 82599 has to
write a data block that is not a full cache line, it first reads
the line (64 bytes) and then writes back the updated version.
This hurts reception of min-sized frames, which are only 60 bytes
if the CRC is stripped: i could never get above 11Mpps
(received from one queue) with CRCSTRIP enabled, whyle 64+4-byte
packets reach 14.2 Mpps (the theoretical maximum).
Leaving the CRC in gets us 14.88Mpps for 60+4 byte frames,
(and penalizes 64+4). The min-size case is important not just because
it looks good in benchmarks, but also because this is the size
of pure acks.
Note we cannot leave CRCSTRIP on by default because it is
incompatible with some other features (LRO etc.)

int, not bool.
- {ixgbe,ixv}_tx_ctx_setup() returns a boolean value, so declare it
bool, not int.
- {ixgbe,ixv}_tso_setup() returns a bool, so declare it bool, not boolean_t.

A link reset now is completely transparent for the netmap client:
even if the NIC resets its own ring (e.g. restarting from 0),
the client will not see any change in the current rx/tx positions,
because the driver will keep track of the offset between the two.
2. make the device-specific code more uniform across different drivers
There were some inconsistencies in the implementation of the netmap
support routines, now drivers have been aligned to a common
code structure.
3. import netmap support for ixgbe . This is implemented as a very
small patch for ixgbe.c (233 lines, 11 chunks, mostly comments:
in total the patch has only 54 lines of new code) , as most of
the code is in an external file sys/dev/netmap/ixgbe_netmap.h ,
following some initial comments from Jack Vogel about making
changes less intrusive.
(Note, i have emailed Jack multiple times asking if he had
comments on this structure of the code; i got no reply so
i assume he is fine with it).
Support for other drivers (em, lem, re, igb) will come later.
"ixgbe" is now the reference driver for netmap support. Both the
external file (sys/dev/netmap/ixgbe_netmap.h) and the device-specific
patches (in sys/dev/ixgbe/ixgbe.c) are heavily commented and should
serve as a reference for other device drivers.
Tested on i386 and amd64 with the pkt-gen program in tools/tools/netmap,
the sender does 14.88 Mpps at 1050 Mhz and 14.2 Mpps at 900 MHz
on an i7-860 with 4 cores and 82599 card. Haven't tried yet more
aggressive optimizations such as adding 'prefetch' instructions
in the time-critical parts of the code.
The current code was rounding down the maximum frame size instead of
routing up, resulting in a read size of 1024 bytes, in the non-jumbo
frame case, and splitting the packets across multiple mbufs.
Consequently the above problem exposed another issue, which is when
packets were splitted across multiple mbufs, and all of the mbufs in the
chain have the M_PKTHDR flag set.

- variety of small tweaks, like ring size, that have
been seen as performance improvements.
- Thanks to those that provided feedback or suggested
changes, I hope I've caught all of them.
- introduce drbr_needs_enqueue that returns whether the interface/br needs
an enqueue operation: returns true if altq is enabled or there are
already packets in the ring (as we need to maintain packet order)
- update all drbr consumers
- fix drbr_flush
- avoid using the driver queue (IFQ_DRV_*) in the altq case as the
multiqueue consumer does not provide enough protection, serialize altq
interaction with the main queue lock
- make drbr_dequeue_cond work with altq

This adds new feature support for the 82599, a hardware
assist to LRO, doing this required a large revamp to the
RX cleanup code because the descriptor ring may not be
processed out of order, this necessitated the elimination
of global pointers.
Additionally, the RX routine now does not refresh mbufs
on every descriptor, rather it will do a range, and then
update the hardware pointer at that time. These are
performance oriented changes.
The TX side now has a cleaner simpler watchdog algorithm
as well, in TX cleanup a read of ticks is stored, that
can then be compared in local_timer to determine if
there is a hang.
Various other cleanups along the way, thanks to all who
have provided input and testing.
and remove from its dependency on LRO, my tests have shown
that its always beneficial, even when doing bridging.
Second, fix up a few problems in the statistics code, the
adapter dependencies had gotten lost so some code that should
only run on 82599 was always running, this resulted in bogus
flow control numbers on 82598.
- When a vlan event occurs a check was not made that
the event was actually for the interface, thus resulting
in a panic. All three drivers have this vulnerability. Add
a check for this condition.
- Secondly, there was a duplicate buf_ring free in the em
driver resulting in a panic on unload. Remove.
Approved by: re
IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the
per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will
allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver
programming interface or binary interface.
For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they
don't actually access the multicast address list.

-This version has header split, and as a result a number of
aspects of the code have been improved/simplified.
- Interrupt handling refined for performance
- Many small bugs fixed along the way
MFC after: ASAP - in time for 7.1
-It has new hardware support
-It uses a new method of TX cleanup called Head Write Back
-It includes the provisional generic TCP LRO feature contributed
by Myricom and made general purpose by me. This should move into
the stack upon approval but for this driver drop its in here.
-Also bug fixes and etc...
MFC in a week if no serious issues arise.
The first drop was Beta, this code is expected to be the release version.
Note that this driver code will build in either 6.2 or 7. If you
use the code in 6.2 you will not get TSO or MSI/X support but it will
function in a legacy mode.
Approved by: re
- change include style so build in kernel try OR standalone work.
- Limit HWCSUM - I was led to believe that it would work with RSS,
but our testing had odd issues which suggests this is false.
- A fatfinger error in the ioctl code made ifconfig up not work.
