freebsd-dev/sys/net/netmap.h
Luigi Rizzo f18be5766f Bring in a number of new features, mostly implemented by Michio Honda:
- the VALE switch now support up to 254 destinations per switch,
  unicast or broadcast (multicast goes to all ports).

- we can attach hw interfaces and the host stack to a VALE switch,
  which means we will be able to use it more or less as a native bridge
  (minor tweaks still necessary).
  A 'vale-ctl' program is supplied in tools/tools/netmap
  to attach/detach ports the switch, and list current configuration.

- the lookup function in the VALE switch can be reassigned to
  something else, similar to the pf hooks. This will enable
  attaching the firewall, or other processing functions (e.g. in-kernel
  openvswitch) directly on the netmap port.

The internal API used by device drivers does not change.

Userspace applications should be recompiled because we
bump NETMAP_API as we now use some fields in the struct nmreq
that were previously ignored -- otherwise, data structures
are the same.

Manpages will be committed separately.

* --- Netmap data structures ---
*
* The data structures used by netmap are shown below. Those in
* capital letters are in an mmapp()ed area shared with userspace,
* while others are private to the kernel.
* Shared structures do not contain pointers but only memory
* offsets, so that addressing is portable between kernel and userspace.

* The private descriptor ('softc' or 'adapter') of each interface
* is extended with a "struct netmap_adapter" containing netmap-related
* info (see description in dev/netmap/netmap_kernel.h.
* Among other things, tx_rings and rx_rings point to the arrays of
* "struct netmap_kring" which in turn reache the various
* "struct netmap_ring", shared with userspace.
* The NETMAP_RING is the userspace-visible replica of the NIC ring.
* Each slot has the index of a buffer, its length and some flags.
* In user space, the buffer address is computed as
* (char *)ring + buf_ofs + index*NETMAP_BUF_SIZE
* In the kernel, buffers do not necessarily need to be contiguous,
* and the virtual and physical addresses are derived through
* a lookup table.
*
* struct netmap_slot:
*
* buf_idx is the index of the buffer associated to the slot.
* len is the length of the payload
* NS_BUF_CHANGED must be set whenever userspace wants
* to change buf_idx (it might be necessary to
* reprogram the NIC slot)
* NS_REPORT must be set if we want the NIC to generate an interrupt
* when this slot is used. Leaving it to 0 improves
* performance.
* NS_FORWARD if set on a receive ring, and the device is in
* transparent mode, buffers released with the flag set
* will be forwarded to the 'other' side (host stack
* or NIC, respectively) on the next select() or ioctl()
*
* The following will be supported from NETMAP_API = 5
* NS_NO_LEARN on a VALE switch, do not 'learn' the source port for
* this packet.
* NS_INDIRECT the netmap buffer contains a 64-bit pointer to
* the actual userspace buffer. This may be useful
* to reduce copies in a VM environment.
* NS_MOREFRAG Part of a multi-segment frame. The last (or only)
* segment must not have this flag.
* NS_PORT_MASK the high 8 bits of the flag, if not zero, indicate the
* destination port for the VALE switch, overriding
* the lookup table.

/*
* Netmap representation of a TX or RX ring (also known as "queue").
* This is a queue implemented as a fixed-size circular array.
* At the software level, two fields are important: avail and cur.
*
* In TX rings:
* avail indicates the number of slots available for transmission.
* It is updated by the kernel after every netmap system call.
* It MUST BE decremented by the application when it appends a
* packet.
* cur indicates the slot to use for the next packet
* to send (i.e. the "tail" of the queue).
* It MUST BE incremented by the application before
* netmap system calls to reflect the number of newly
* sent packets.
* It is checked by the kernel on netmap system calls
* (normally unmodified by the kernel unless invalid).
*
* The kernel side of netmap uses two additional fields in its own
* private ring structure, netmap_kring:
* nr_hwcur is a copy of nr_cur on an NIOCTXSYNC.
* nr_hwavail is the number of slots known as available by the
* hardware. It is updated on an INTR (inc by the
* number of packets sent) and on a NIOCTXSYNC
* (decrease by nr_cur - nr_hwcur)
* A special case, nr_hwavail is -1 if the transmit
* side is idle (no pending transmits).
*
* In RX rings:
* avail is the number of packets available (possibly 0).
* It MUST BE decremented by the application when it consumes
* a packet, and it is updated to nr_hwavail on a NIOCRXSYNC
* cur indicates the first slot that contains a packet not
* processed yet (the "head" of the queue).
* It MUST BE incremented by the software when it consumes
* a packet.
* reserved indicates the number of buffers before 'cur'
* that the application has still in use. Normally 0,
* it MUST BE incremented by the application when it
* does not return the buffer immediately, and decremented
* when the buffer is finally freed.
*
* The kernel side of netmap uses two additional fields in the kring:
* nr_hwcur is a copy of nr_cur on an NIOCRXSYNC
* nr_hwavail is the number of packets available. It is updated
* on INTR (inc by the number of new packets arrived)
* and on NIOCRXSYNC (decreased by nr_cur - nr_hwcur).
*
* DATA OWNERSHIP/LOCKING:
* The netmap_ring is owned by the user program and it is only
* accessed or modified in the upper half of the kernel during
* a system call.
*
* The netmap_kring is only modified by the upper half of the kernel.
*
* FLAGS
* NR_TIMESTAMP updates the 'ts' field on each syscall. This is
* a global timestamp for all packets.
* NR_RX_TSTMP if set, the last 64 byte in each buffer will
* contain a timestamp for the frame supplied by
* the hardware (if supported)
* NR_FORWARD if set, the NS_FORWARD flag in each slot of the
* RX ring is checked, and if set the packet is
* passed to the other side (host stack or device,
* respectively). This permits bpf-like behaviour
* or transparency for selected packets.
