the mbuf contains the ethernet header (eh) as well, which ether_input()
will strip off as needed.
This permits the removal (in a backward compatible way) of the
header removal code which right now is replicated in all drivers,
sometimes in an inconsistent way. Also, because many functions
called after ether_input() require the eh in the mbuf, eventually
we can propagate the interface and handle outdated drivers just
in ether_input().
Individual driver changes to use the new interface will follow as
we have a chance to touch them.
NOTE THAT THIS CHANGE IS FULLY BACKWARD COMPATIBLE AND DOES NOT BREAK
BINARY COMPATIBILITY FOR DRIVERS.

jumbo.9: New man page describing the jumbo buffer allocator
interface and operation.
zero_copy.9: New man page describing the general characteristics of
the zero copy send and receive code, and what an
application author should do to take advantage of the
zero copy functionality.
NOTES: Add entries for ZERO_COPY_SOCKETS, TI_PRIVATE_JUMBOS,
TI_JUMBO_HDRSPLIT, MSIZE, and MCLSHIFT.
conf/files: Add uipc_jumbo.c and uipc_cow.c.
conf/options: Add the 5 options mentioned above.
kern_subr.c: Receive side zero copy implementation. This takes
"disposable" pages attached to an mbuf, gives them to
a user process, and then recycles the user's page.
This is only active when ZERO_COPY_SOCKETS is turned on
and the kern.ipc.zero_copy.receive sysctl variable is
set to 1.
uipc_cow.c: Send side zero copy functions. Takes a page written
by the user and maps it copy on write and assigns it
kernel virtual address space. Removes copy on write
mapping once the buffer has been freed by the network
stack.
uipc_jumbo.c: Jumbo disposable page allocator code. This allocates
(optionally) disposable pages for network drivers that
want to give the user the option of doing zero copy
receive.
uipc_socket.c: Add kern.ipc.zero_copy.{send,receive} sysctls that are
enabled if ZERO_COPY_SOCKETS is turned on.
Add zero copy send support to sosend() -- pages get
mapped into the kernel instead of getting copied if
they meet size and alignment restrictions.
uipc_syscalls.c:Un-staticize some of the sf* functions so that they
can be used elsewhere. (uipc_cow.c)
if_media.c: In the SIOCGIFMEDIA ioctl in ifmedia_ioctl(), avoid
calling malloc() with M_WAITOK. Return an error if
the M_NOWAIT malloc fails.
The ti(4) driver and the wi(4) driver, at least, call
this with a mutex held. This causes witness warnings
for 'ifconfig -a' with a wi(4) or ti(4) board in the
system. (I've only verified for ti(4)).
ip_output.c: Fragment large datagrams so that each segment contains
a multiple of PAGE_SIZE amount of data plus headers.
This allows the receiver to potentially do page
flipping on receives.
if_ti.c: Add zero copy receive support to the ti(4) driver. If
TI_PRIVATE_JUMBOS is not defined, it now uses the
jumbo(9) buffer allocator for jumbo receive buffers.
Add a new character device interface for the ti(4)
driver for the new debugging interface. This allows
(a patched version of) gdb to talk to the Tigon board
and debug the firmware. There are also a few additional
debugging ioctls available through this interface.
Add header splitting support to the ti(4) driver.
Tweak some of the default interrupt coalescing
parameters to more useful defaults.
Add hooks for supporting transmit flow control, but
leave it turned off with a comment describing why it
is turned off.
if_tireg.h: Change the firmware rev to 12.4.11, since we're really
at 12.4.11 plus fixes from 12.4.13.
Add defines needed for debugging.
Remove the ti_stats structure, it is now defined in

and my header splitting patches. Revision 12.4.13
doesn't handle 10/100 negotiation properly. (This
firmware is the same as what was in the tree previously,
with the addition of header splitting support.)
sys/jumbo.h: Jumbo buffer allocator interface.
sys/mbuf.h: Add a new external mbuf type, EXT_DISPOSABLE, to
indicate that the payload buffer can be thrown away /
flipped to a userland process.
socketvar.h: Add prototype for socow_setup.
tiio.h: ioctl interface to the character portion of the ti(4)
driver, plus associated structure/type definitions.
uio.h: Change prototype for uiomoveco() so that we'll know
whether the source page is disposable.
ufs_readwrite.c:Update for new prototype of uiomoveco().
vm_fault.c: In vm_fault(), check to see whether we need to do a page
based copy on write fault.
vm_object.c: Add a new function, vm_object_allocate_wait(). This
does the same thing that vm_object allocate does, except
that it gives the caller the opportunity to specify whether
it should wait on the uma_zalloc() of the object structre.
This allows vm objects to be allocated while holding a
mutex. (Without generating WITNESS warnings.)
vm_object_allocate() is implemented as a call to
vm_object_allocate_wait() with the malloc flag set to
M_WAITOK.
vm_object.h: Add prototype for vm_object_allocate_wait().
vm_page.c: Add page-based copy on write setup, clear and fault
routines.
vm_page.h: Add page based COW function prototypes and variable in
the vm_page structure.

code, and to all the other folks who have tested and reviewed this code

packet forwarding state ("annotations") during ip processing.
The code is considerably cleaner now.
The variables removed by this change are:
ip_divert_cookie used by divert sockets
ip_fw_fwd_addr used for transparent ip redirection
last_pkt used by dynamic pipes in dummynet
Removal of the first two has been done by carrying the annotations
into volatile structs prepended to the mbuf chains, and adding
appropriate code to add/remove annotations in the routines which
make use of them, i.e. ip_input(), ip_output(), tcp_input(),
bdg_forward(), ether_demux(), ether_output_frame(), div_output().
On passing, remove a bug in divert handling of fragmented packet.
Now it is the fragment at offset 0 which sets the divert status of
the whole packet, whereas formerly it was the last incoming fragment
to decide.
Removal of last_pkt required a change in the interface of ip_fw_chk()
and dummynet_io(). On passing, use the same mechanism for dummynet
annotations and for divert/forward annotations.
option IPFIREWALL_FORWARD is effectively useless, the code to
implement it is very small and is now in by default to avoid the
obfuscation of conditionally compiled code.
NOTES:
* there is at least one global variable left, sro_fwd, in ip_output().
I am not sure if/how this can be removed.
* I have deliberately avoided gratuitous style changes in this commit
to avoid cluttering the diffs. Minor stule cleanup will likely be
necessary
* this commit only focused on the IP layer. I am sure there is a
number of global variables used in the TCP and maybe UDP stack.
* despite the number of files touched, there are absolutely no API's
or data structures changed by this commit (except the interfaces of
ip_fw_chk() and dummynet_io(), which are internal anyways), so
an MFC is quite safe and unintrusive (and desirable, given the
improved readability of the code).

to make this 100% semantically identical to the way it behaves in
unthreaded programs with blocking reads, but the solution here
should do the right thing for all reasonable usage patterns.
The basic idea is to schedule a callout for the read timeout when a
select/poll is done. When the callout fires, it ends the select if
it is still in progress, or marks the state as "timed out" if the
select has already ended for some other reason. Additional logic in
bpfread then does the right thing in the case where the timeout has
fired.
Note, I co-opted the bd_state member of the bpf_d structure. It has
been present in the structure since the initial import of 4.4-lite,
but as far as I can tell it has never been used.

Non-SMP, i386-only, no polling in the idle loop at the moment.
To use this code you must compile a kernel with
options DEVICE_POLLING
and at runtime enable polling with
sysctl kern.polling.enable=1
The percentage of CPU reserved to userland can be set with
sysctl kern.polling.user_frac=NN (default is 50)
while the remainder is used by polling device drivers and netisr's.
These are the only two variables that you should need to touch. There
are a few more parameters in kern.polling but the default values
are adequate for all purposes. See the code in kern_poll.c for
more details on them.
Polling in the idle loop will be implemented shortly by introducing
a kernel thread which does the job. Until then, the amount of CPU
dedicated to polling will never exceed (100-user_frac).
The equivalent (actually, better) code for -stable is at
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/polling/
and also supports polling in the idle loop.
NOTE to Alpha developers:
There is really nothing in this code that is i386-specific.
If you move the 2 lines supporting the new option from
sys/conf/{files,options}.i386 to sys/conf/{files,options} I am
pretty sure that this should work on the Alpha as well, just that
I do not have a suitable test box to try it. If someone feels like
trying it, I would appreciate it.
NOTE to other developers:
sure some things could be done better, and as always I am open to
constructive criticism, which a few of you have already given and
I greatly appreciated.
However, before proposing radical architectural changes, please
take some time to possibly try out this code, or at the very least
read the comments in kern_poll.c, especially re. the reason why I
am using a soft netisr and cannot (I believe) replace it with a
simple timeout.

vnodes. This will hopefully serve as a base from which we can
expand the MP code. We currently do not attempt to obtain any
mutex or SX locks, but the door is open to add them when we nail
down exactly how that part of it is going to work.
"[...] and removes the hostcache code from standard kernels---the
code that depends on it is not going to happen any time soon,
I'm afraid."
Time to clean up.
Have sys/net/route.c:rtrequest1(), which takes ``rt_addrinfo *''
as the argument. Pass rt_addrinfo all the way down to rtrequest1
and ifa->ifa_rtrequest. 3rd argument of ifa->ifa_rtrequest is now
``rt_addrinfo *'' instead of ``sockaddr *'' (almost noone is
using it anyways).
Benefit: the following command now works. Previously we needed
two route(8) invocations, "add" then "change".
# route add -inet6 default ::1 -ifp gif0
Remove unsafe typecast in rtrequest(), from ``rtentry *'' to
``sockaddr *''. It was introduced by 4.3BSD-Reno and never
corrected.

Create a /dev/netX alias for devices. net0 is reserved.
Allow wiring of net aliases in /boot/device.hints of the form:
hint.net.1.dev="lo0"
hint.net.12.ether="00:a0:c9:c9:9d:63"

also allows reception of packets with known tags.

appear in /dev. Interface hardware ioctls (not protocol or routing) can
be performed on the descriptor. The SIOCGIFCONF ioctl may be performed
on the special /dev/network node.
+ implement "limit" rules, which permit to limit the number of sessions
between certain host pairs (according to masks). These are a special
type of stateful rules, which might be of interest in some cases.
See the ipfw manpage for details.
+ merge the list pointers and ipfw rule descriptors in the kernel, so
the code is smaller, faster and more readable. This patch basically
consists in replacing "foo->rule->bar" with "rule->bar" all over
the place.
I have been willing to do this for ages!

Yes this really is rather silly and the implementation is overkill given
that you are only allowed one of them, but NetBSD implements cloning on
this device and it's a less cluttered example of cloning then most.
