Introduce support for zero-copy BPF buffering, which reduces the 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. Sponsored by: Seccuris Inc.

Add an external mbuf buffer type that holds multiple unmapped pages. Unmapped mbufs allow sendfile to carry multiple pages of data in a single mbuf, without mapping those pages. It is a requirement for Netflix's in-kernel TLS, and provides a 5-10% CPU savings on heavy web serving workloads when used by sendfile, due to effectively compressing socket buffers by an order of magnitude, and hence reducing cache misses. For this new external mbuf buffer type (EXT_PGS), the ext_buf pointer now points to a struct mbuf_ext_pgs structure instead of a data buffer. This structure contains an array of physical addresses (this reduces cache misses compared to an earlier version that stored an array of vm_page_t pointers). It also stores additional fields needed for in-kernel TLS such as the TLS header and trailer data that are currently unused. To more easily detect these mbufs, the M_NOMAP flag is set in m_flags in addition to M_EXT. Various functions like m_copydata() have been updated to safely access packet contents (using uiomove_fromphys()), to make things like BPF safe. NIC drivers advertise support for unmapped mbufs on transmit via a new IFCAP_NOMAP capability. This capability can be toggled via the new 'nomap' and '-nomap' ifconfig(8) commands. For NIC drivers that only transmit packet contents via DMA and use bus_dma, adding the capability to if_capabilities and if_capenable should be all that is required. If a NIC does not support unmapped mbufs, they are converted to a chain of mapped mbufs (using sf_bufs to provide the mapping) in ip_output or ip6_output. If an unmapped mbuf requires software checksums, it is also converted to a chain of mapped mbufs before computing the checksum.

BPFD_UNLOCK(d);
Introduce support for zero-copy BPF buffering, which reduces the 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. Sponsored by: Seccuris Inc. In collaboration with: rwatson Tested by: pwood, gallatin MFC after: 4 months [1] [1] Certain portions will probably not be MFCed, specifically things that can break the monitoring ABI.
