Rack includes the following features:
- A different SACK processing scheme (the old sack structures are not used).
- RACK (Recent acknowledgment) where counting dup-acks is no longer done
instead time is used to knwo when to retransmit. (see the I-D)
- TLP (Tail Loss Probe) where we will probe for tail-losses to attempt
to try not to take a retransmit time-out. (see the I-D)
- Burst mitigation using TCPHTPS
- PRR (partial rate reduction) see the RFC.
Once built into your kernel, you can select this stack by either
socket option with the name of the stack is "rack" or by setting
the global sysctl so the default is rack.
Note that any connection that does not support SACK will be kicked
back to the "default" base FreeBSD stack (currently known as "default").
To build this into your kernel you will need to enable in your
kernel:
makeoptions WITH_EXTRA_TCP_STACKS=1

Silently dicard SCTP chunks which have been requested to be
authenticated but are received unauthenticated no matter if support
for SCTP authentication has been negotiated. This improves compliance
with RFC 4895.
When the application uses the SCTP_AUTH_CHUNK socket option to
request a chunk to be received in an authenticated way, enable
the SCTP authentication extension for the end-point. This improves
compliance with RFC 6458.

This patch adds a new socket option, SO_REUSEPORT_LB, which allow multiple
programs or threads to bind to the same port and incoming connections will be
load balanced using a hash function.
Most of the code was copied from a similar patch for DragonflyBSD.
However, in DragonflyBSD, load balancing is a global on/off setting and can not
be set per socket. This patch allows for simultaneous use of both the current
SO_REUSEPORT and the new SO_REUSEPORT_LB options on the same system.
Required changes to structures:
Globally change so_options from 16 to 32 bit value to allow for more options.
Add hashtable in pcbinfo to hold all SO_REUSEPORT_LB sockets.
Limitations:
As DragonflyBSD, a load balance group is limited to 256 pcbs (256 programs or
threads sharing the same socket).
This is a substantially different contribution as compared to its original
incarnation at svn r332894 and reverted at svn r332967. Thanks to rwatson@
for the substantive feedback that is included in this commit.

Use m_copyback() function to write checksum when it isn't located
in the first mbuf of the chain. Handmade analog doesn't handle the
case when parts of checksum are located in different mbufs.
Also in case when mbuf is too short, m_copyback() will allocate new
mbuf in the chain instead of making out of bounds write.
Also wrap long line and remove now useless KASSERTs.

The length of the IP payload is normally equal to the UDP length, UDP Options
(draft-ietf-tsvwg-udp-options-02) suggests using the difference between IP
length and UDP length to create space for trailing data.
Correct checksum length calculation to use the UDP length rather than the IP

of needed interface when many gif interfaces are present.
Remove rmlock from gif_softc, use epoch(9) and CK_LIST instead.
Move more AF-related code into AF-related locations.
Use hash table to speedup lookup of needed softc. Interfaces
with GIF_IGNORE_SOURCE flag are stored in plain CK_LIST.
Sysctl net.link.gif.parallel_tunnels is removed. The removal was planed
16 years ago, and actually it could work only for outbound direction.
Each protocol, that can be handled by if_gif(4) interface is registered
by separate encap handler, this helps avoid invoking the handler
for unrelated protocols (GRE, PIM, etc.).
This change allows dramatically improve performance when many gif(4)
interfaces are used.

Currently it has several disadvantages:
- it uses single mutex to protect internal structures. It is used by
data- and control- path, thus there are no parallelism at all.
- it uses single list to keep encap handlers for both INET and INET6
families.
- struct encaptab keeps unneeded information (src, dst, masks, protosw),
that isn't used by code in the source tree.
- matches are prioritized and when many tunneling interfaces are
registered, encapcheck handler of each interface is invoked for each
packet. The search takes O(n) for n interfaces. All this work is done
with exclusive lock held.
What this patch includes:
- the datapath is converted to be lockless using epoch(9) KPI.
- struct encaptab now linked using CK_LIST.
- all unused fields removed from struct encaptab. Several new fields
addedr: min_length is the minimum packet length, that encapsulation
handler expects to see; exact_match is maximum number of bits, that
can return an encapsulation handler, when it wants to consume a packet.
- IPv6 and IPv4 handlers are stored in separate lists;
- added new "encap_lookup_t" method, that will be used later. It is
targeted to speedup lookup of needed interface, when gif(4)/gre(4) have
many interfaces.
- the need to use protosw structure is eliminated. The only pr_input
method was used from this structure, so I don't see the need to keep
using it.
- encap_input_t method changed to avoid using mbuf tags to store softc
pointer. Now it is passed directly trough encap_input_t method.
encap_getarg() funtions is removed.
- all sockaddr structures and code that uses them removed. We don't have
any code in the tree that uses them. All consumers use encap_attach_func()
method, that relies on invoking of encapcheck() to determine the needed
handler.
- introduced struct encap_config, it contains parameters of encap handler
that is going to be registered by encap_attach() function.
- encap handlers are stored in lists ordered by exact_match value, thus
handlers that need more bits to match will be checked first, and if
encapcheck method returns exact_match value, the search will be stopped.
- all current consumers changed to use new KPI.

Plenty of allocation sites pass M_ZERO and sizes which are small and known
at compilation time. Handling them internally in malloc loses this information
and results in avoidable calls to memset.
Instead, let the compiler take the advantage of it whenever possible.

in_pcbfree will remove the incpb from the list and release the rtentry
while the vnet is set, but the actual destruction will be deferred
until any threads in a (not yet used) epoch section, no longer potentially
have references.
Avoid the ugly unlock / lock of the inpcbinfo where we need to
figure out what kind of lock we hold by simply deferring the
operation to another context. (Also a small dependency for
converting the pcbinfo read lock to epoch)
We need to set the current vnet before iterating over the global
interface list. Because the dump device may only be set from the host,
only proceed with configuration if the thread belongs to the default
vnet. [1]
Also fix a resource leak that occurs if the priv_check() in set_dumper()
fails.

Each TCP connection that uses the system default cc_newreno(4) congestion
control algorithm module leaks a "struct newreno" (8 bytes of memory) at
connection initialisation time. The NULL-pointer dereference is only germane
when using the ABE feature, which is disabled by default.
While at it:
- Defer the allocation of memory until it is actually needed given that ABE is
optional and disabled by default.
- Document the ENOMEM errno in getsockopt(2)/setsockopt(2).
- Document ENOMEM and ENOBUFS in tcp(4) as being synonymous given that they are
used interchangeably throughout the code.
- Fix a few other nits also accidentally omitted from the original patch.
