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. These changes significantly modify the memory management and connection logic of our TCP implementation, and are (as such) High Risk Changes, and likely to contain serious bugs. Please report problems to the current@ mailing list ASAP, ideally with simple test cases, and optionally, packet traces. MFC after: 3 months
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
