evicted from the syncache but a later syncache_expand succeeds because
of syncookies. The TOE driver has to resort to more direct means to
install its hooks in the socket in this case.
the TOE driver reports that an active open failed. toe_connect_failed is
supposed to handle this but it should be provided the inpcb instead of the
tcpcb which may no longer be around.
Basically, this is automatic rx zero copy when feasible. TCP payload is
DMA'd directly into the userspace buffer described by the uio submitted
in soreceive by an application.
- Works with sockets that are being handled by the TCP offload engine
of a T4 chip (you need t4_tom.ko module loaded after cxgbe, and an
"ifconfig +toe" on the cxgbe interface).
- Does not require any modification to the application.
- Not enabled by default. Use hw.t4nex.<X>.toe.ddp="1" to enable it.
- Setup multiple DDP page sizes. When the driver attempts DDP it will
try to combine physically contiguous pages into regions of these sizes.
- Set the indicate size such that the payload carried in the indicate can
be copied in the header mbuf (and the 16K rx buffer can be recycled).
- Set DDP threshold to the max payload that the chip will coalesce and
deliver to the driver (this is ~16K by default, which is also why the
offload rx queue is backed by 16K buffers). If the chip is able to
coalesce up to the max it's allowed to, it's a good sign that the peer
is transmitting in bulk without any TCP PSH.

TCB. Filters are programmed by modifying the TCB too (via a different
routine) and the reply to any TCB update is delivered via a
CPL_SET_TCB_RPL. Figure out whether the reply is for a filter-write or
something else and route it appropriately.

This wasn't a problem for common MTUs (1500 and 9000) as the buffers (2048

playing around with unusual MTUs.

- Do not check for a specific physical function (PF) before claiming a device.
Different PFs have different device-ids so this check is redundant anyway.

- Stateful TCP offload drivers for Terminator 3 and 4 (T3 and T4) ASICs.
These are available as t3_tom and t4_tom modules that augment cxgb(4)
and cxgbe(4) respectively. The cxgb/cxgbe drivers continue to work as
usual with or without these extra features.
- iWARP driver for Terminator 3 ASIC (kernel verbs). T4 iWARP in the
works and will follow soon.
Build-tested with make universe.
30s overview
============
What interfaces support TCP offload? Look for TOE4 and/or TOE6 in the
capabilities of an interface:
# ifconfig -m | grep TOE
Enable/disable TCP offload on an interface (just like any other ifnet
capability):
# ifconfig cxgbe0 toe
# ifconfig cxgbe0 -toe
Which connections are offloaded? Look for toe4 and/or toe6 in the
output of netstat and sockstat:
# netstat -np tcp | grep toe
# sockstat -46c | grep toe

Significantly update tcp_lro for mostly two things:
1) introduce basic support for IPv6 without extension headers.
2) try hard to also get the incremental checksum updates right,
especially also in the IPv4 case for the IP and TCP header.
Move variables around for better locality, factor things out into
functions, allow checksum updates to be compiled out, ...
Leave a few comments on further things to look at in the future,
though that is not the full list.
Update drivers with appropriate #includes as needed for IPv6 data
type in LRO.

steer, and drop - were already fully-functional).
Some contrived examples of "switch" filters with L2 rewriting:
# cxgbetool t4nex0 iport 0 dport 80 action switch vlan +9 eport 3
Intercept all packets received on physical port 0 with TCP port 80 as
destination, insert a vlan tag with VID 9, and send them out of port 3.
# cxgbetool t4nex0 sip 192.168.1.1/32 ivlan 5 action switch \

to aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff, and send it out of port 0.
