that shared vnode lock is held, thus we get exclusive access to knote
either by exclusive vnode lock protection, or by shared vnode lock +
vnode interlock.
Do not use kl_locked() method to assert either lock ownership or the
fact that curthread does not own the lock. For shared locks, ownership
is not recorded, e.g. VOP_ISLOCKED can return LK_SHARED for the shared
lock not owned by curthread, causing false positives in kqueue subsystem
assertions about knlist lock.
Remove kl_locked method from knlist lock vector, and add two separate
assertion methods kl_assert_locked and kl_assert_unlocked, that are
supposed to use proper asserts. Change knlist_init accordingly.

previously always pointing to the default vnet context, to a
dynamically changing thread-local one. The currvnet context
should be set on entry to networking code via CURVNET_SET() macros,
and reverted to previous state via CURVNET_RESTORE(). Recursions
on curvnet are permitted, though strongly discuouraged.
This change should have no functional impact on nooptions VIMAGE
kernel builds, where CURVNET_* macros expand to whitespace.
The curthread->td_vnet (aka curvnet) variable's purpose is to be an
indicator of the vnet context in which the current network-related
operation takes place, in case we cannot deduce the current vnet
context from any other source, such as by looking at mbuf's
m->m_pkthdr.rcvif->if_vnet, sockets's so->so_vnet etc. Moreover, so
far curvnet has turned out to be an invaluable consistency checking
aid: it helps to catch cases when sockets, ifnets or any other
vnet-aware structures may have leaked from one vnet to another.
The exact placement of the CURVNET_SET() / CURVNET_RESTORE() macros
was a result of an empirical iterative process, whith an aim to
reduce recursions on CURVNET_SET() to a minimum, while still reducing
the scope of CURVNET_SET() to networking only operations - the
alternative would be calling CURVNET_SET() on each system call entry.
In general, curvnet has to be set in three typicall cases: when
processing socket-related requests from userspace or from within the
kernel; when processing inbound traffic flowing from device drivers
to upper layers of the networking stack, and when executing
timer-driven networking functions.
This change also introduces a DDB subcommand to show the list of all
vnet instances.

Otherwise we may not play by the rules of the shared memory protocol,
potentially corrupting packet data or causing userspace applications
that are playing by the rules to spin due to being notified that a
buffer is complete but the shared memory header not reflecting that.
This behavior was seen with pflogd by a number of reporters; note that
this fix is not sufficient to get pflogd properly working with
zero-copy BPF, due to pflogd opening the BPF device before forking,
leading to the shared memory buffer not being propery inherited in the
privilege-separated child. We're still deciding how to fix that
problem.
This change exposes buffer-model specific strategy information in

Right now the bpf(4) driver uses the cloning API to generate /dev/bpf%u.
When an application such as tcpdump needs a BPF, it opens /dev/bpf0,
/dev/bpf1, etc. until it opens the first available device node. We used
this approach, because our devfs implementation didn't allow
per-descriptor data.
Now that we can, make it use devfs_get_cdevpriv() to obtain the private
data. To remain compatible with the existing implementation, add a
symlink from /dev/bpf0 to /dev/bpf. I've already changed libpcap to
compile with HAVE_CLONING_BPF, which makes it use /dev/bpf. There may be
other applications in the base system (dhclient) that use the loop to
obtain a valid bpf.

buffer kernel descriptors, which is used to allow the buffer
currently in the BPF "store" position to be assigned to userspace
when it fills, even if userspace hasn't acknowledged the buffer
in the "hold" position yet. To implement this, notify the buffer
model when a buffer becomes full, and check that the store buffer
is writable, not just for it being full, before trying to append
new packet data. Shared memory buffers will be assigned to
userspace at most once per fill, be it in the store or in the
hold position.
This removes the restriction that at most one shared memory can
by owned by userspace, reducing the chances that userspace will
need to call select() after acknowledging one buffer in order to
wait for the next buffer when under high load. This more fully
realizes the goal of zero system calls in order to process a
high-speed packet stream from BPF.
Update bpf.4 to reflect that both buffers may be owned by userspace
at once; caution against assuming this.

overhead of packet capture by allowing a user process to directly "loan"
buffer memory to the kernel rather than using read(2) to explicitly copy
data from kernel address space.
The user process will issue new BPF ioctls to set the shared memory
buffer mode and provide pointers to buffers and their size. The kernel
then wires and maps the pages into kernel address space using sf_buf(9),
which on supporting architectures will use the direct map region. The
current "buffered" access mode remains the default, and support for
zero-copy buffers must, for the time being, be explicitly enabled using
a sysctl for the kernel to accept requests to use it.
The kernel and user process synchronize use of the buffers with atomic
operations, avoiding the need for system calls under load; the user
process may use select()/poll()/kqueue() to manage blocking while
waiting for network data if the user process is able to consume data
faster than the kernel generates it. Patchs to libpcap are available
to allow libpcap applications to transparently take advantage of this
support. Detailed information on the new API may be found in bpf(4),
including specific atomic operations and memory barriers required to
synchronize buffer use safely.
These changes modify the base BPF implementation to (roughly) abstrac
the current buffer model, allowing the new shared memory model to be
added, and add new monitoring statistics for netstat to print. The
implementation, with the exception of some monitoring hanges that break
the netstat monitoring ABI for BPF, will be MFC'd.
Zerocopy bpf buffers are still considered experimental are disabled
by default. To experiment with this new facility, adjust the
net.bpf.zerocopy_enable sysctl variable to 1.
Changes to libpcap will be made available as a patch for the time being,
and further refinements to the implementation are expected.

remotely on the interface. Set to BPF_D_OUT to see only outgoing

- BIOCFEEDBACK sets packet feedback mode. This allows injected packets
to be fed back as input to the interface when output via the interface is
successful. When BPF_D_INOUT direction is set, injected outgoing packet
is not returned by BPF to avoid duplication. This flag is initialized to
zero by default.

take a timeval indicating when the packet was captured. Move
microtime() to the calling functions and grab the timestamp as soon
as we know that we're going to call catchpacket at least once.
This means that we call microtime() once per matched packet, as
opposed to once per matched packet per bpf listener. It also means
that we return the same timestamp to all bpf listeners, rather than
slightly different ones.
It would be more accurate to call microtime() even earlier for all
packets, as you have to grab (1+#listener) locks before you can
determine if the packet will be logged. You could always grab a
timestamp before the locks, but microtime() can be costly, so this
didn't seem like a good idea.
