DPCPU_DEFINE and VNET_DEFINE macros, as these cause problems for various
people working on the affected files. A better long-term solution is
still being considered. This reversal may give some modules empty
set_pcpu or set_vnet sections, but these are harmless.

Instead of unconditionally emitting .globl's for the __start_set_xxx and
__stop_set_xxx symbols, only emit them when the set_vnet or set_pcpu
sections are actually defined.

r215317 | dim | 2010-11-14 21:38:11 +0100 (Sun, 14 Nov 2010) | 3 lines
Apply the STATIC_VNET_DEFINE and STATIC_DPCPU_DEFINE macros throughout
the tree.

Add macros to define static instances of VNET_DEFINE and DPCPU_DEFINE.
the SIFTR pfil(9) hook functions to or from all network stacks. This patch
allows packets inbound or outbound from a vnet to be "seen" by SIFTR.
Additional work is required to allow SIFTR to actually generate log messages for
all vnet related packets because the siftr_findinpcb() function does not yet
search for inpcbs across all vnets. This issue will be fixed separately.

to give way for the pluggable congestion control framework. It is
the task of the congestion control algorithm to set the congestion
window and amount of inflight data without external interference.
In 'struct tcpcb' the variables previously used by the inflight
limiter are renamed to spares to keep the ABI intact and to have
some more space for future extensions.
In 'struct tcp_info' the variable 'tcpi_snd_bwnd' is not removed to
preserve the ABI. It is always set to 0.
In siftr.c in 'struct pkt_node' the variable 'snd_bwnd' is not removed
to preserve the ABI. It is always set to 0.
These unused variable in the various structures may be reused in the
future or garbage collected before the next release or at some other
point when an ABI change happens anyway for other reasons.
No MFC is planned. The inflight bandwidth limiter stays disabled by
default in the other branches but remains available.
a separate inline function. This further reduces duplicate code that didn't
have a good reason to stay as it was.
- Reorder the malloc of a pkt_node struct in the hook functions such that it
only occurs if we managed to find a usable tcpcb associated with the packet.
- Make the inp_locally_locked variable's type consistent with the prototype of
siftr_siftdata().

FreeBSD. SIFTR logs a range of statistics on active TCP connections to a log
file, providing the ability to make highly granular measurements of TCP
connection state. The tool is aimed at system administrators, developers and
researchers alike. Please take it for a spin and test it out - the man page
should have all the information required to get you going.
