Vnet modules and protocol domains may now register destructor
functions to clean up and release per-module state. The destructor
mechanisms can be triggered by invoking "vimage -d", or a future
equivalent command which will be provided via the new jail framework.
While this patch introduces numerous placeholder destructor functions,
many of those are currently incomplete, thus leaking memory or (even
worse) failing to stop all running timers. Many of such issues are
already known and will be incrementaly fixed over the next weeks in
smaller incremental commits.
Apart from introducing new fields in structs ifnet, domain, protosw
and vnet_net, which requires the kernel and modules to be rebuilt, this
change should have no impact on nooptions VIMAGE builds, since vnet
destructors can only be called in VIMAGE kernels. Moreover,
destructor functions should be in general compiled in only in
options VIMAGE builds, except for kernel modules which can be safely
kldunloaded at run time.

active network stack instance. Turning on options VIMAGE at compile
time yields the following changes relative to default kernel build:
1) V_ accessor macros for virtualized variables resolve to structure
fields via base pointers, instead of being resolved as fields in global
structs or plain global variables. As an example, V_ifnet becomes:
options VIMAGE: ((struct vnet_net *) vnet_net)->_ifnet
default build: vnet_net_0._ifnet
options VIMAGE_GLOBALS: ifnet
2) INIT_VNET_* macros will declare and set up base pointers to be used
by V_ accessor macros, instead of resolving to whitespace:
INIT_VNET_NET(ifp->if_vnet); becomes
struct vnet_net *vnet_net = (ifp->if_vnet)->mod_data[VNET_MOD_NET];
3) Memory for vnet modules registered via vnet_mod_register() is now
allocated at run time in sys/kern/kern_vimage.c, instead of per vnet
module structs being declared as globals. If required, vnet modules
can now request the framework to provide them with allocated bzeroed
memory by filling in the vmi_size field in their vmi_modinfo structures.
4) structs socket, ifnet, inpcbinfo, tcpcb and syncache_head are
extended to hold a pointer to the parent vnet. options VIMAGE builds
will fill in those fields as required.
5) curvnet is introduced as a new global variable in options VIMAGE
builds, always pointing to the default and only struct vnet.
6) struct sysctl_oid has been extended with additional two fields to
store major and minor virtualization module identifiers, oid_v_subs and
oid_v_mod. SYSCTL_V_* family of macros will fill in those fields
accordingly, and store the offset in the appropriate vnet container
struct in oid_arg1.
In sysctl handlers dealing with virtualized sysctls, the
SYSCTL_RESOLVE_V_ARG1() macro will compute the address of the target
variable and make it available in arg1 variable for further processing.
Unused fields in structs vnet_inet, vnet_inet6 and vnet_ipfw have
been deleted.

Normally the socket buffers are static (either derived from global
defaults or set with setsockopt) and do not adapt to real network
conditions. Two things happen: a) your socket buffers are too small
and you can't reach the full potential of the network between both
hosts; b) your socket buffers are too big and you waste a lot of
kernel memory for data just sitting around.
With automatic TCP send and receive socket buffers we can start with a
small buffer and quickly grow it in parallel with the TCP congestion
window to match real network conditions.
FreeBSD has a default 32K send socket buffer. This supports a maximal
transfer rate of only slightly more than 2Mbit/s on a 100ms RTT
trans-continental link. Or at 200ms just above 1Mbit/s. With TCP send
buffer auto scaling and the default values below it supports 20Mbit/s
at 100ms and 10Mbit/s at 200ms. That's an improvement of factor 10, or
1000%. For the receive side it looks slightly better with a default of
64K buffer size.
New sysctls are:
net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_auto=1 (enabled)
net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_inc=8192 (8K, step size)

- Remove a rwlock aquisition/release per generated syncookie. Locking

syncookies no longer add any additional lock overhead.
- Syncookie secrets are different for and stored per syncache buck row.
Secrets expire after 16 seconds and are reseeded on-demand.
- The computational overhead for syncookie generation and verification
is one MD5 hash computation as before.
- Syncache can be turned off and run with syncookies only by setting the
sysctl net.inet.tcp.syncookies_only=1.
This implementation extends the orginal idea and first implementation
of FreeBSD by using not only the initial sequence number field to store
information but also the timestamp field if present. This way we can
keep track of the entire state we need to know to recreate the session in
its original form. Almost all TCP speakers implement RFC1323 timestamps
these days. For those that do not we still have to live with the known
shortcomings of the ISN only SYN cookies. The use of the timestamp field
causes the timestamps to be randomized if syncookies are enabled.
The idea of SYN cookies is to encode and include all necessary information
about the connection setup state within the SYN-ACK we send back and thus
to get along without keeping any local state until the ACK to the SYN-ACK
arrives (if ever). Everything we need to know should be available from
the information we encoded in the SYN-ACK.
A detailed description of the inner working of the syncookies mechanism
is included in the comments in tcp_syncache.c.

aquires the tcpinfo lock and timeout/retransmit runs can happen in
parallel with bucket granularity.
On a P4 the additional locks cause a slight degression of 0.7% in tcp
connections per second. When IP and TCP input are deserialized and
can run in parallel this little overhead can be neglected. The syncookie
handling still leaves room for improvement and its random salts may be
moved to the syncache bucket head structures to remove the second lock
operation currently required for it. However this would be a more

pru_abort(), pru_detach(), and in_pcbdetach():
- Universally support and enforce the invariant that so_pcb is
never NULL, converting dozens of unnecessary NULL checks into
assertions, and eliminating dozens of unnecessary error handling
cases in protocol code.
- In some cases, eliminate unnecessary pcbinfo locking, as it is no
longer required to ensure so_pcb != NULL. For example, the receive
code no longer requires the pcbinfo lock, and the send code only
requires it if building a new connection on an otherwise unconnected
socket triggered via sendto() with an address. This should
significnatly reduce tcbinfo lock contention in the receive and send
cases.
- In order to support the invariant that so_pcb != NULL, it is now
necessary for the TCP code to not discard the tcpcb any time a
connection is dropped, but instead leave the tcpcb until the socket
is shutdown. This case is handled by setting INP_DROPPED, to
substitute for using a NULL so_pcb to indicate that the connection
has been dropped. This requires the inpcb lock, but not the pcbinfo
lock.
- Unlike all other protocols in the tree, TCP may need to retain access
to the socket after the file descriptor has been closed. Set
SS_PROTOREF in tcp_detach() in order to prevent the socket from being
freed, and add a flag, INP_SOCKREF, so that the TCP code knows whether
or not it needs to free the socket when the connection finally does
close. The typical case where this occurs is if close() is called on
a TCP socket before all sent data in the send socket buffer has been
transmitted or acknowledged. If INP_SOCKREF is found when the
connection is dropped, we release the inpcb, tcpcb, and socket instead
of flagging INP_DROPPED.
- Abort and detach protocol switch methods no longer return failures,
nor attempt to free sockets, as the socket layer does this.
- Annotate the existence of a long-standing race in the TCP timer code,
in which timers are stopped but not drained when the socket is freed,
as waiting for drain may lead to deadlocks, or have to occur in a
context where waiting is not permitted. This race has been handled
by testing to see if the tcpcb pointer in the inpcb is NULL (and vice
versa), which is not normally permitted, but may be true of a inpcb
and tcpcb have been freed. Add a counter to test how often this race
has actually occurred, and a large comment for each instance where
we compare potentially freed memory with NULL. This will have to be
fixed in the near future, but requires is to further address how to
handle the timer shutdown shutdown issue.
- Several TCP calls no longer potentially free the passed inpcb/tcpcb,
so no longer need to return a pointer to indicate whether the argument
passed in is still valid.
- Un-macroize debugging and locking setup for various protocol switch
methods for TCP, as it lead to more obscurity, and as locking becomes
more customized to the methods, offers less benefit.
- Assert copyright on tcp_usrreq.c due to significant modifications that
have been made as part of this work.
