Drivers can set ifp->if_hw_tsomax before calling ether_ifattach() to
change the limit.
The lowest allowable size is IP_MAXPACKET / 8 (8192 bytes) as anything
less wouldn't be very useful anymore. The upper limit is still at
IP_MAXPACKET (65536 bytes). Raising it requires further auditing of
the IPv4/v6 code path's as the length field in the IP header would
overflow leading to confusion in firewalls and others packet handler on
the real size of the packet.
The placement into "struct ifnet" is a bit hackish but the best place
that was found. When the stack/driver boundary is updated it should

This fixes a panic, that requires the following sequence to happen:
1) The SYN was sent to the network, tp->snd_nxt = iss + 1, tp->snd_una = iss
2) The retransmit timeout happened for the SYN we had sent,
tcp_timer_rexmt() sets tp->snd_nxt = tp->snd_una, and calls tcp_output().
In tcp_output m_get() fails.
3) Later on the SYN|ACK for the SYN sent in step 1) came,
tcp_input sets tp->snd_una += 1, which leads to
tp->snd_una > tp->snd_nxt inconsistency, that later panics in

especially in the presence of bi-directional data transfers.
snd_wl1 tracks the right edge, including data in the reassembly
queue, of valid incoming data. This makes it like rcv_nxt plus
reassembly. It never goes backwards to prevent older, possibly
reordered segments from updating the window.
snd_wl2 tracks the left edge of sent data. This makes it a duplicate
of snd_una. However joining them right now is difficult due to
separate update dependencies in different places in the code flow.
snd_wnd tracks the current advertized send window by the peer. In
tcp_output() the effective window is calculated by subtracting the
already in-flight data, snd_nxt less snd_una, from it.
ACK's become the main clock of window updates and will always update
the window when the left edge of what we sent is advanced. The ACK
clock is the primary signaling mechanism in ongoing data transfers.
This works reliably even in the presence of reordering, reassembly
and retransmitted segments. The ACK clock is most important because
it determines how much data we are allowed to inject into the network.
Zero window updates get us out of persistence mode are crucial. Here
a segment that neither moves ACK nor SEQ but enlarges WND is accepted.
When the ACK clock is not active (that is we're not or no longer
sending any data) any segment that moves the extended right SEQ edge,
including out-of-order segments, updates the window. This gives us
updates especially during ping-pong transfers where the peer isn't
done consuming the already acknowledged data from the receive buffer
while responding with data.
The SSH protocol is a prime candidate to benefit from the improved
bi-directional window update logic as it has its own windowing
mechanism on top of TCP and is frequently sending back protocol ACK's.

Both functions need to obtain lock on the found PCB, and they can't do
classic inter-lock with the PCB hash lock, due to lock order reversal.
To keep the PCB stable, these functions put a reference on it and after PCB
lock is acquired drop it. If the reference was the last one, this means
we've raced with in_pcbfree() and the PCB is no longer valid.
This approach works okay only if we are acquiring writer-lock on the PCB.
In case of reader-lock, the following scenario can happen:
- 2 threads locate pcb, and do in_pcbref() on it.
- These 2 threads drop the inp hash lock.
- Another thread comes to delete pcb via in_pcbfree(), it obtains hash lock,
does in_pcbremlists(), drops hash lock, and runs in_pcbrele_wlocked(), which
doesn't free the pcb due to two references on it. Then it unlocks the pcb.
- 2 aforementioned threads acquire reader lock on the pcb and run
in_pcbrele_rlocked(). One gets 1 from in_pcbrele_rlocked() and continues,
second gets 0 and considers pcb freed, returns.
- The thread that got 1 continutes working with detached pcb, which later
leads to panic in the underlying protocol level.
To plumb that problem an additional INPCB flag introduced - INP_FREED. We
check for that flag in the in_pcbrele_rlocked() and if it is set, we pretend
that that was the last reference.
