This commit, long overdue, contains contributions in the last 2 years
from Stefano Garzarella, Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, including:
+ fixes on monitor ports
+ the 'ptnet' virtual device driver, and ptnetmap backend, for
high speed virtual passthrough on VMs (bhyve fixes in an upcoming commit)
+ improved emulated netmap mode
+ more robust error handling
+ removal of stale code
+ various fixes to code and documentation (some mixup between RX and TX
parameters, and private and public variables)
We also include an additional tool, nmreplay, which is functionally
equivalent to tcpreplay but operating on netmap ports.
netmap_kern.h currently requires all drivers including it to include
selinfo.h.

The variables that are extern in the netmap header file should be
defined in ixl_txrx.c (the file that is included in both ixl(4)/ixlv(4),
not in the main driver source files.

Several files use the internal name of `struct device` instead of
`device_t` which is part of the public API. This patch changes all
`struct device *` to `device_t`.
The remaining occurrences of `struct device` are those referring to the
Linux or OpenBSD version of the structure, or the code is not built on
FreeBSD and it's unclear what to do.

m_unshare passes on the source mbuf's flags as-is to m_getcl and this
results in a leak if the flags include M_NOFREE. The fix is to clear
the bits not listed in M_COPYALL before calling m_getcl. M_RDONLY
should probably be filtered out too but that's outside the scope of this
fix.
Add assertions in the zone_mbuf and zone_pack ctors to catch similar
bugs.
Update netmap_get_mbuf to not pass M_NOFREE to m_getcl. It's not clear
what the original code was trying to do but it's likely incorrect.
Updated code is no different functionally but it avoids the newly added
assertions.

e1000/e1000e split in linux.
Split rxbuffer and txbuffer apart to support the new RX descriptor format
structures. Move rxbuffer manipulation to em_setup_rxdesc() to unify the
new behavior changes.
Add a RSSKEYLEN macro for help in generating the RSSKEY data structures
in the card.
Change em_receive_checksum() to process the new rxdescriptor format
status bit.

This commit contains large contributions from Giuseppe Lettieri and
Stefano Garzarella, is partly supported by grants from Verisign and Cisco,
and brings in the following:
- fix zerocopy monitor ports and introduce copying monitor ports
(the latter are lower performance but give access to all traffic
in parallel with the application)
- exclusive open mode, useful to implement solutions that recover
from crashes of the main netmap client (suggested by Patrick Kelsey)
- revised memory allocator in preparation for the 'passthrough mode'
(ptnetmap) recently presented at bsdcan. ptnetmap is described in

- fix rx CRC handing on ixl
- add module dependencies for netmap when building drivers as modules
- minor simplifications to device-specific routines (*txsync, *rxsync)
- general code cleanup (remove unused variables, introduce macros
to access rings and remove duplicate code,
Applications do not need to be recompiled, unless of course
they want to use the new features (monitors and exclusive open).
Those willing to try this code on stable/10 can just update the
sys/dev/netmap/*, sys/net/netmap* with the version in HEAD
and apply the small patches to individual device drivers.

up to 2 rx/tx queues for the 82574.
Program the 82574 to enable 5 msix vectors, assign 1 to each rx queue,
1 to each tx queue and 1 to the link handler.
Inspired by DragonFlyBSD, enable some RSS logic for handling tx queue
handling/processing.
Move multiqueue handler functions so that they line up better in a diff
review to if_igb.c
Always enqueue tx work to be done in em_mq_start, if unable to acquire
the TX lock, then this will be processed in the background later by the
taskqueue. Remove mbuf argument from em_start_mq_locked() as the work
is always enqueued. (stolen from igb)
Setup TARC, TXDCTL and RXDCTL registers for better performance and stability
in multiqueue and singlequeue implementations. Handle Intel errata 3 and
generic multiqueue behavior with the initialization of TARC(0) and TARC(1)
Bind interrupt threads to cpus in order. (stolen from igb)
Add 2 new DDB functions, one to display the queue(s) and their settings and
one to reset the adapter. Primarily used for debugging.
In the multiqueue configuration, bump RXD and TXD ring size to max for the
adapter (4096). Setup an RDTR of 64 and an RADV of 128 in multiqueue configuration
to cut down on the number of interrupts. RADV was arbitrarily set to 2x RDTR
and can be adjusted as needed.
Cleanup the display in top a bit to make it clearer where the taskqueue threads
are running and what they should be doing.
Ensure that both queues are processed by em_local_timer() by writing them both
to the IMS register to generate soft interrupts.
Ensure that an soft interrupt is generated when em_msix_link() is run so that
any races between assertion of the link/status interrupt and a rx/tx interrupt
are handled.
Document existing tuneables: hw.em.eee_setting, hw.em.msix, hw.em.smart_pwr_down, hw.em.sbp
Document use of hw.em.num_queues and the new kernel option EM_MULTIQUEUE

was granted via rings and ni_bufs_list_head represented in those rings
and lists (e.g., via SIGKILL), those buffers are no longer available
for subsequent users for the lifetime of the system. To mitigate this
resource leak, reset the allocator state when the last ref to that
allocator is released.
Note that this only recovers leaked resources for an allocator when
there are no longer any users of that allocator, so there remain
circumstances in which leaked allocator resources may not ever be
recovered - consider a set of multiple netmap processes that are all
using the same allocator (say, the global allocator) where members of
that set may be killed and restarted over time but at any given point
there is one member of that set running.

the right solution but I will leave it to experts to untangle this
problem to properly stop the build failures.
At the moment only if_ix.c includes dev/netmap/ixgbe_netmap.h which is
good as ixgbe_netmap.h defines a couple of (file) static variables--thus
local to if_ix.c.
static int ix_crcstrip however now also got checked from ix_txrx.c
(as an extern) and should not be visible there. In fact we do see
powerpc and powerpc64 build failures because of this. It is unclear
to me why on other (clang built?) architectures this does not lead
to a reference of an undefined symbol and similar build breakage.
Preliminary tests indicate 32 Mpps on tx, 24 Mpps on rx
with source and receiver on two different ports of the same 40G card.
Optimizations are likely possible.
The code follows closely the one for ixgbe so i do not
expect stability issues.

1. handle errors from nm_config(), if any (none of the FreeBSD drivers
currently returns an error on this function, so this change
is a no-op at this time
2. use a full memory barrier on ioctls
from the FreeBSD network code. The flag is still kept around in the
"sys/mbuf.h" header file, but does no longer have any users. Instead
the "m_pkthdr.rsstype" field in the mbuf structure is now used to
decide the meaning of the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. To modify the
"m_pkthdr.rsstype" field please use the existing "M_HASHTYPE_XXX"
macros as defined in the "sys/mbuf.h" header file.
This patch introduces new behaviour in the transmit direction.
Previously network drivers checked if "M_FLOWID" was set in "m_flags"
before using the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. This check has now now been
replaced by checking if "M_HASHTYPE_GET(m)" is different from
"M_HASHTYPE_NONE". In the future more hashtypes will be added, for
example hashtypes for hardware dedicated flows.
"M_HASHTYPE_OPAQUE" indicates that the "m_pkthdr.flowid" value is
valid and has no particular type. This change removes the need for an
"if" statement in TCP transmit code checking for the presence of a
valid flowid value. The "if" statement mentioned above is now a direct
variable assignment which is then later checked by the respective
network drivers like before.
Additional notes:
- The SCTP code changes will be committed as a separate patch.
- Removal of the "M_FLOWID" flag will also be done separately.
- The FreeBSD version has been bumped.

Mostly bugfixes or features developed in the past 6 months,
so this is a 10.1 candidate.
Basically no user API changes (some bugfixes in sys/net/netmap_user.h).
In detail:
1. netmap support for virtio-net, including in netmap mode.
Under bhyve and with a netmap backend [2] we reach over 1Mpps
with standard APIs (e.g. libpcap), and 5-8 Mpps in netmap mode.
2. (kernel) add support for multiple memory allocators, so we can
better partition physical and virtual interfaces giving access
to separate users. The most visible effect is one additional
argument to the various kernel functions to compute buffer
addresses. All netmap-supported drivers are affected, but changes
are mechanical and trivial
3. (kernel) simplify the prototype for *txsync() and *rxsync()
driver methods. All netmap drivers affected, changes mostly mechanical.
4. add support for netmap-monitor ports. Think of it as a mirroring
port on a physical switch: a netmap monitor port replicates traffic
present on the main port. Restrictions apply. Drive carefully.
5. if_lem.c: support for various paravirtualization features,
experimental and disabled by default.
Most of these are described in our ANCS'13 paper [1].
Paravirtualized support in netmap mode is new, and beats the
numbers in the paper by a large factor (under qemu-kvm,
we measured gues-host throughput up to 10-12 Mpps).
A lot of refactoring and additional documentation in the files
in sys/dev/netmap, but apart from #2 and #3 above, almost nothing
of this stuff is visible to other kernel parts.
Example programs in tools/tools/netmap have been updated with bugfixes
and to support more of the existing features.
This is meant to go into 10.1 so we plan an MFC before the Aug.22 deadline.
A lot of this code has been contributed by my colleagues at UNIPI,
including Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, Stefano Garzarella.
