compile-time constants). That is, a "bucket" now is not necessarily
a page-worth of mbufs or clusters, but it is MBUF_BUCK_SZ, CLUS_BUCK_SZ
worth of mbufs, clusters.
o Rename {mbuf,clust}_limit to {mbuf,clust}_hiwm and introduce
{mbuf,clust}_lowm, which currently has no effect but will be used
to set the low watermarks.
o Fix netstat so that it can deal with the differently-sized buckets
and teach it about the low watermarks too.
o Make sure the per-cpu stats for an absent CPU has mb_active set to 0,
explicitly.
o Get rid of the allocate refcounts from mbuf map mess. Instead,
just malloc() the refcounts in one shot from mbuf_init()
o Clean up / update comments in subr_mbuf.c
1) Include arpa/inet.h for ntohs.
2) Constness fixes.
3) Fix shadowing except for "sin" which shouldn't be in scope.
4) Remove register keyword.
5) Add missing initialsers to user defined structs.
5) Make prototype of netname6 globally visable.
6) Use right macros for printing syncache stats (even though entrie isn't
a word).
The compatibility glue is still provided.
(This change is not yet reflected in the manpage, nor
in usage(). This will be fixed at a later time today,
with the general manpage cleanup commit.)
introduce a modified allocation mechanism for mbufs and mbuf clusters; one
which can scale under SMP and which offers the possibility of resource
reclamation to be implemented in the future. Notable advantages:
o Reduce contention for SMP by offering per-CPU pools and locks.
o Better use of data cache due to per-CPU pools.
o Much less code cache pollution due to excessively large allocation macros.
o Framework for `grouping' objects from same page together so as to be able
to possibly free wired-down pages back to the system if they are no longer
needed by the network stacks.
Additional things changed with this addition:
- Moved some mbuf specific declarations and initializations from
sys/conf/param.c into mbuf-specific code where they belong.
- m_getclr() has been renamed to m_get_clrd() because the old name is really
confusing. m_getclr() HAS been preserved though and is defined to the new
name. No tree sweep has been done "to change the interface," as the old
name will continue to be supported and is not depracated. The change was
merely done because m_getclr() sounds too much like "m_get a cluster."
- TEMPORARILY disabled mbtypes statistics displaying in netstat(1) and
systat(1) (see TODO below).
- Fixed systat(1) to display number of "free mbufs" based on new per-CPU
stat structures.
- Fixed netstat(1) to display new per-CPU stats based on sysctl-exported
per-CPU stat structures. All infos are fetched via sysctl.
TODO (in order of priority):
- Re-enable mbtypes statistics in both netstat(1) and systat(1) after
introducing an SMP friendly way to collect the mbtypes stats under the
already introduced per-CPU locks (i.e. hopefully don't use atomic() - it
seems too costly for a mere stat update, especially when other locks are
already present).
- Optionally have systat(1) display not only "total free mbufs" but also
"total free mbufs per CPU pool."
- Fix minor length-fetching issues in netstat(1) related to recently
re-enabled option to read mbuf stats from a core file.
- Move reference counters at least for mbuf clusters into an unused portion
of the cluster itself, to save space and need to allocate a counter.
- Look into introducing resource freeing possibly from a kproc.

Removed the ambiguity in -s, -f, -p and -i flags handling.
Basically, there are four displays (except others):
1. PCB display.
2. Protocol statistics display. (-s)
3. Interface statistics display. (-i)
4. Per-interface protocol statistics display. (-i -s)
All of the above except 3) can be limited to a particular
protocol family (-f) or a single protocol (-p).
Some examples:
1. netstat -f inet -- show PCBs of all INET protocols
2. netstat -p udp -- show PCB of UDP protocol only (NEW!)
3. netstat -s -- show protocol statistics for all families
4. netstat -s -f inet -- show INET protocols statistics
5. netstat -s -p icmp -- show ICMP protocol statistics
This is a work in progress. Manpage has been fixed slightly,
but is still incomplete.
This work was based on kame-20010528-freebsd43-snap.tgz and some
critical problem after the snap was out were fixed.
There are many many changes since last KAME merge.
TODO:
- The definitions of SADB_* in sys/net/pfkeyv2.h are still different
from RFC2407/IANA assignment because of binary compatibility
issue. It should be fixed under 5-CURRENT.
- ip6po_m member of struct ip6_pktopts is no longer used. But, it
is still there because of binary compatibility issue. It should
be removed under 5-CURRENT.

This is a bulk mport of Mike's IPX/SPX protocol stacks and all the
related gunf that goes with it..
it is not guaranteed to work 100% correctly at this time
but as we had several people trying to work on it
I figured it would be better to get it checked in so
they could all get teh same thing to work on..
Mikes been using it for a year or so
but on 2.0
more changes and stuff will be merged in from other developers now that this is in.
