David Malone a5c4836d39 Replace the mbuf external reference counting code with something
that should be better.

The old code counted references to mbuf clusters by using the offset
of the cluster from the start of memory allocated for mbufs and
clusters as an index into an array of chars, which did the reference
counting. If the external storage was not a cluster then reference
counting had to be done by the code using that external storage.

NetBSD's system of linked lists of mbufs was cosidered, but Alfred
felt it would have locking issues when the kernel was made more
SMP friendly.

The system implimented uses a pool of unions to track external
storage. The union contains an int for counting the references and
a pointer for forming a free list. The reference counts are
incremented and decremented atomically and so should be SMP friendly.
This system can track reference counts for any sort of external
storage.

Access to the reference counting stuff is now through macros defined
in mbuf.h, so it should be easier to make changes to the system in
the future.

The possibility of storing the reference count in one of the
referencing mbufs was considered, but was rejected 'cos it would
often leave extra mbufs allocated. Storing the reference count in
the cluster was also considered, but because the external storage
may not be a cluster this isn't an option.

The size of the pool of reference counters is available in the
stats provided by "netstat -m".

a note to committers about KAME tree
$FreeBSD$
KAME project


FreeBSD IPv6/IPsec tree is from KAMEproject (http://www.kame.net/).
To synchronize KAME tree and FreeBSD better today and in the future,
please understand the following:

- DO NOT MAKE COSTMETIC CHANGES.
  "Cosmetic changes" here includes tabify, untabify, removal of space at EOL,
  minor KNF items, and whatever adds more output lines on "diff freebsd kame".
  To make future synchronization easier. it is critical to preserve certain
  statements in the code.  Also, as KAME tree supports all 4 BSDs (Free, Open,
  Net, BSD/OS) in single shared tree, it is not always possible to backport
  FreeBSD changes into KAME tree.  So again, please do not make cosmetic
  changes.  Even if you think it a right thing, that will bite KAME guys badly
  during upgrade attempts, and prevent us from synchronizing two trees.
  (you don't usually make cosmetic changes against third-party code, do you?)

- REPORT CHANGES/BUGS TO KAME GUYS.
  It is not always possible for KAME guys to watch all the freebsd mailing
  list traffic, as the traffic is HUGE.  So if possible, please, inform
  kame guys of changes you made in IPv6/IPsec related portion.  Contact
  path would be snap-users@kame.net or KAME PR database on www.kame.net.
  (or to core@kame.net if it is necessary to make it confidential)

Thank you for your cooperation and have a happy IPv6 life!


Note: KAME-origin code is in the following locations.
The above notice applies to corresponding manpages too.
The list may not be complete.  If you see $KAME$ in the code, it is from
KAME distribution.  If you see some file that is IPv6/IPsec related, it is
highly possible that the file is from KAME distribution.
