- Re-write tcp_ctlinput6() to closely mimic the IPv4 tcp_ctlinput()
- Now that tcp_ctlinput6() updates t_maxseg, we can allow ip6_output()
to send TCP packets without looking at the tcp host cache for every
single transmit.
- Make the icmp6 code mimic the IPv4 code & avoid returning
PRC_HOSTDEAD because it is so expensive.
Without these changes in place, every TCP6 pmtu discovery or host
unreachable ICMP resulted in a call to in6_pcbnotify() which walks the
tcbinfo table with the write lock held. Because the tcbinfo table is
shared between IPv4 and IPv6, this causes huge scalabilty issues on
servers with lots of (~100K) TCP connections, to the point where even
a small percent of IPv6 traffic had a disproportionate impact on
overall throughput.

The m_ext.ext_cnt pointer becomes a union. It can now hold the refcount
value itself. To tell that m_ext.ext_flags flag EXT_FLAG_EMBREF is used.
The first mbuf to attach a cluster stores the refcount. The further mbufs
to reference the cluster point at refcount in the first mbuf. The first
mbuf is freed only when the last reference is freed.
The benefit over refcounts stored in separate slabs is that now refcounts
of different, unrelated mbufs do not share a cache line.
For EXT_EXTREF mbufs the zone_ext_refcnt is no longer needed, and m_extadd()
becomes void, making widely used M_EXTADD macro safe.
For EXT_SFBUF mbufs the sf_ext_ref() is removed, which was an optimization
exactly against the cache aliasing problem with regular refcounting.

Add ro_mtu field to 'struct route' to be able to pass lookup MTU back to
the caller.
Currently, ip6_getpmtu() has 2 totally different use cases:
1) control plane (IPV6_PATHMTU req), where we just need to calculate MTU
and return it, w/o any reusability.
2) Actual ip6_output() data path where we (nearly) always use the provided
route lookup data. If this data is not 'valid' we need to perform another
lookup and save the result (which cannot be re-used by ip6_output()).
Given that, handle 1) by calling separate function doing rte lookup itself.
Resulting MTU is calculated by (newly-added) ip6_calcmtu() used by both
ip6_getpmtu_ctl() and ip6_getpmtu().
For 2) instead of storing ref'ed rte, store mtu (the only needed data
from the lookup result) inside newly-added ro_mtu field.
'struct route' was shrinked by 8(or 4 bytes) in r292978. Grow it again
by 4 bytes. New ro_mtu field will be used in other places like
ip/tcp_output (EMSGSIZE handling from output routines).

Problem description:
How do we currently perform layer 2 resolution and header imposition:
For IPv4 we have the following chain:
ip_output() -> (ether|atm|whatever)_output() -> arpresolve()
Lookup is done in proper place (link-layer output routine) and it is possible
to provide cached lle data.
For IPv6 situation is more complex:
ip6_output() -> nd6_output() -> nd6_output_ifp() -> (whatever)_output() ->
nd6_storelladdr()
We have ip6_ouput() which calls nd6_output() instead of link output routine.
nd6_output() does the following:
* checks if lle exists, creates it if needed (similar to arpresolve())
* performes lle state transitions (similar to arpresolve())
* calls nd6_output_ifp() which pushes packets to link output routine along
with running SeND/MAC hooks regardless of lle state
(e.g. works as run-hooks placeholder).
After that, iface output routine like ether_output() calls nd6_storelladdr()
which performs lle lookup once again.
As a result, we perform lookup twice for each outgoing packet for most types
of interfaces. We also need to maintain runtime-checked table of 'nd6-free'
interfaces (see nd6_need_cache()).
Fix this behavior by eliminating first ND lookup. To be more specific:
* make all nd6_output() consumers use nd6_output_ifp() instead
* rename nd6_output[_slow]() to nd6_resolve_[slow]()
* convert nd6_resolve() and nd6_resolve_slow() to arpresolve() semantics,
e.g. copy L2 address to buffer instead of pushing packet towards lower
layers
* Make all nd6_storelladdr() users use nd6_resolve()
* eliminate nd6_storelladdr()
The resulting callchain is the following:
ip6_output() -> nd6_output_ifp() -> (whatever)_output() -> nd6_resolve()
Error handling:
Currently sending packet to non-existing la results in ip6_<output|forward>
-> nd6_output() -> nd6_output _lle() which returns 0.
In new scenario packet is propagated to <ether|whatever>_output() ->
nd6_resolve() which will return EWOULDBLOCK, and that result
will be converted to 0.
(And EWOULDBLOCK is actually used by IB/TOE code).

Do not pass 'dst' sockaddr to ip[6]_mloopback:
- We have explicit check for AF_INET in ip_output()
- We assume ip header inside passed mbuf in ip_mloopback
- We assume ip6 header inside passed mbuf in ip6_mloopback
When forwarding fragmented IPv6 packets and filtering with PF we
reassemble and refragment. That means we generate new fragment headers
and a new fragment ID.
We already save the fragment IDs so we can do the reassembly so it's
straightforward to apply the incoming fragment ID on the refragmented
packets.

When several threads are trying to send datagram to the same destination,
but fragmentation is disabled and datagram size exceeds link MTU,
ip6_output() calls pfctlinput2(PRC_MSGSIZE). It does notify all
sockets wanted to know MTU to this destination. And since all threads
hold PCB lock while sending, taking the lock for each PCB in the
in6_pcbnotify() leads to deadlock.
RFC 3542 p.11.3 suggests notify all application wanted to receive
IPV6_PATHMTU ancillary data for each ICMPv6 packet too big message.
But it doesn't require this, when we don't receive ICMPv6 message.
Change ip6_notify_pmtu() function to be able use it directly from
ip6_output() to notify only one socket, and to notify all sockets
when ICMPv6 packet too big message received.

MLEN, MHLEN, and so on, in mbuf consumers by unifying various alignment
utility functions (M_ALIGN(), MH_ALIGN(), MEXT_ALIGN() in a single
M_ALIGN() macro, implemented by a now-inlined m_align() function:
- Move m_align() from uipc_mbuf.c to mbuf.h; mark as __inline.
- Reimplement M_ALIGN(), MH_ALIGN(), and MEXT_ALIGN() using m_align().
- Update consumers around the tree to simply use M_ALIGN().
This change eliminates a number of cases where mbuf consumers must be aware
of whether or not mbufs returned by the allocator use external storage, but
also assumptions about the size of the returned mbuf. This will make it
easier to introduce changes in how we use external storage, as well as
features such as variable-size mbufs.

from the FreeBSD network code. The flag is still kept around in the
"sys/mbuf.h" header file, but does no longer have any users. Instead
the "m_pkthdr.rsstype" field in the mbuf structure is now used to
decide the meaning of the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. To modify the
"m_pkthdr.rsstype" field please use the existing "M_HASHTYPE_XXX"
macros as defined in the "sys/mbuf.h" header file.
This patch introduces new behaviour in the transmit direction.
Previously network drivers checked if "M_FLOWID" was set in "m_flags"
before using the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. This check has now now been
replaced by checking if "M_HASHTYPE_GET(m)" is different from
"M_HASHTYPE_NONE". In the future more hashtypes will be added, for
example hashtypes for hardware dedicated flows.
"M_HASHTYPE_OPAQUE" indicates that the "m_pkthdr.flowid" value is
valid and has no particular type. This change removes the need for an
"if" statement in TCP transmit code checking for the presence of a
valid flowid value. The "if" statement mentioned above is now a direct
variable assignment which is then later checked by the respective
network drivers like before.
Additional notes:
- The SCTP code changes will be committed as a separate patch.
- Removal of the "M_FLOWID" flag will also be done separately.
- The FreeBSD version has been bumped.
