vcxgbe/vcxl interfaces and retire the 'n' interfaces. The main
cxgbe/cxl interfaces and tunables related to them are not affected by
any of this and will continue to operate as usual.
The driver used to create an additional 'n' interface for every
cxgbe/cxl interface if "device netmap" was in the kernel. The 'n'
interface shared the wire with the main interface but was otherwise
autonomous (with its own MAC address, etc.). It did not have normal
tx/rx but had a specialized netmap-only data path. r291665 added
another set of virtual interfaces (the 'v' interfaces) to the driver.
These had normal tx/rx but no netmap support.
This revision consolidates the features of both the interfaces into the
'v' interface which now has a normal data path, TOE support, and native
netmap support. The 'v' interfaces need to be created explicitly with
the hw.cxgbe.num_vis tunable. This means "device netmap" will not
result in the automatic creation of any virtual interfaces.
The following tunables can be used to override the default number of
queues allocated for each 'v' interface. nofld* = 0 will disable TOE on
the virtual interface and nnm* = 0 to will disable native netmap
support.
# number of normal NIC queues
hw.cxgbe.ntxq_vi
hw.cxgbe.nrxq_vi
# number of TOE queues
hw.cxgbe.nofldtxq_vi
hw.cxgbe.nofldrxq_vi
# number of netmap queues
hw.cxgbe.nnmtxq_vi
hw.cxgbe.nnmrxq_vi
hw.cxgbe.nnm{t,r}xq{10,1}g tunables have been removed.
--- tl;dr version ---
The workflow for netmap on cxgbe starting with FreeBSD 11 is:
1) "device netmap" in the kernel config.
2) "hw.cxgbe.num_vis=2" in loader.conf. num_vis > 2 is ok too, you'll
end up with multiple autonomous netmap-capable interfaces for every
port.
3) "dmesg | grep vcxl | grep netmap" to verify that the interface has
netmap queues.
4) Use any of the 'v' interfaces for netmap. pkt-gen -i vcxl<n>... .
One major improvement is that the netmap interface has a normal data
path as expected.
5) Just ignore the cxl interfaces if you want to use netmap only. No
need to bring them up. The vcxl interfaces are completely independent
and everything should just work.

File and disk-backed I/O requests store counts of read/written disk
blocks in each AIO job so that they can be charged to the thread that
completes an AIO request via aio_return() or aio_waitcomplete(). This
change extends AIO jobs to store counts of received/sent messages and
updates socket backends to set these counts accordingly. Note that
the socket backends are careful to only charge a single messages for
each AIO request even though a single request on a blocking socket might
invoke sosend or soreceive multiple times. This is to mimic the
resource accounting of synchronous read/write.
Adjust the UNIX socketpair AIO test to verify that the message resource
usage counts update accordingly for aio_read and aio_write.

Inserting a full mbuf with an external cluster into the socket buffer
resulted in sbspace() returning -MLEN. However, since sb_hiwat is
unsigned, the -MLEN value was converted to unsigned in comparisons. As a
result, the socket buffer was never autosized. Note that sb_lowat is signed
to permit direct comparisons with sbspace(), but sb_hiwat is unsigned.
Follow suit with what tcp_output() does and compare the value of sbused()
with sb_hiwat instead.

Other structures needed by prototypes in t4_tom.h are explicitly
declared in this file, so adding the prototype here seems most
consistent with existing code.
Chelsio's TCP offload engine supports direct DMA of received TCP payload
into wired user buffers. This feature is known as Direct-Data Placement.
However, to scale well the adapter needs to prepare buffers for DDP
before data arrives. aio_read() is more amenable to this requirement than
read() as applications often call read() only after data is available in
the socket buffer.
When DDP is enabled, TOE sockets use the recently added pru_aio_queue
protocol hook to claim aio_read(2) requests instead of letting them use
the default AIO socket logic. The DDP feature supports scheduling DMA
to two buffers at a time so that the second buffer is ready for use
after the first buffer is filled. The aio/DDP code optimizes the case
of an application ping-ponging between two buffers (similar to the
zero-copy bpf(4) code) by keeping the two most recently used AIO buffers
wired. If a buffer is reused, the aio/DDP code is able to reuse the
vm_page_t array as well as page pod mappings (a kind of MMU mapping the
Chelsio NIC uses to describe user buffers). The generation of the
vmspace of the calling process is used in conjunction with the user
buffer's address and length to determine if a user buffer matches a
previously used buffer. If an application queues a buffer for AIO that
does not match a previously used buffer then the least recently used
buffer is unwired before the new buffer is wired. This ensures that no
more than two user buffers per socket are ever wired.
Note that this feature is best suited to applications sending a steady
stream of data vs short bursts of traffic.

The iWARP Connection Manager (CM) on FreeBSD creates a TCP socket to
represent an iWARP endpoint when the connection is over TCP. For
servers the current approach is to invoke create_listen callback for
each iWARP RNIC registered with the CM. This doesn't work too well for
INADDR_ANY because a listen on any TCP socket already notifies all
hardware TOEs/RNICs of the new listener. This patch fixes the server
side of things for FreeBSD. We've tried to keep all these modifications
in the iWARP/TCP specific parts of the OFED infrastructure as much as

- Add optimizing LRO wrapper which pre-sorts all incoming packets
according to the hash type and flowid. This prevents exhaustion of
the LRO entries due to too many connections at the same time.
Testing using a larger number of higher bandwidth TCP connections
showed that the incoming ACK packet aggregation rate increased from
~1.3:1 to almost 3:1. Another test showed that for a number of TCP
connections greater than 16 per hardware receive ring, where 8 TCP
connections was the LRO active entry limit, there was a significant
improvement in throughput due to being able to fully aggregate more
than 8 TCP stream. For very few very high bandwidth TCP streams, the
optimizing LRO wrapper will add CPU usage instead of reducing CPU
usage. This is expected. Network drivers which want to use the
optimizing LRO wrapper needs to call "tcp_lro_queue_mbuf()" instead
of "tcp_lro_rx()" and "tcp_lro_flush_all()" instead of
"tcp_lro_flush()". Further the LRO control structure must be
initialized using "tcp_lro_init_args()" passing a non-zero number
into the "lro_mbufs" argument.
- Make LRO statistics 64-bit. Previously 32-bit integers were used for
statistics which can be prone to wrap-around. Fix this while at it

Add if_requestencap() interface method which is capable of calculating

for INET/INET6/ARP llheader calculation (IFENCAP_LL type request).
Other types are planned to support more complex calculation
(L2 multipath lagg nexthops, tunnel encap nexthops, etc..).
Reshape 'struct route' to be able to pass additional data (with is length)
to prepend to mbuf.
These two changes permits routing code to pass pre-calculated nexthop data
(like L2 header for route w/gateway) down to the stack eliminating the
need for other lookups. It also brings us closer to more complex scenarios
like transparently handling MPLS nexthops and tunnel interfaces.
Last, but not least, it removes layering violation introduced by flowtable
code (ro_lle) and simplifies handling of existing if_output consumers.
ARP/ND changes:
Make arp/ndp stack pre-calculate link header upon installing/updating lle
record. Interface link address change are handled by re-calculating
headers for all lles based on if_lladdr event. After these changes,
arpresolve()/nd6_resolve() returns full pre-calculated header for
supported interfaces thus simplifying if_output().
Move these lookups to separate ether_resolve_addr() function which ether
returs error or fully-prepared link header. Add <arp|nd6_>resolve_addr()
compat versions to return link addresses instead of pre-calculated data.
BPF changes:
Raw bpf writes occupied _two_ cases: AF_UNSPEC and pseudo_AF_HDRCMPLT.
Despite the naming, both of there have ther header "complete". The only
difference is that interface source mac has to be filled by OS for
AF_UNSPEC (controlled via BIOCGHDRCMPLT). This logic has to stay inside
BPF and not pollute if_output() routines. Convert BPF to pass prepend data
via new 'struct route' mechanism. Note that it does not change
non-optimized if_output(): ro_prepend handling is purely optional.
Side note: hackish pseudo_AF_HDRCMPLT is supported for ethernet and FDDI.
It is not needed for ethernet anymore. The only remaining FDDI user is

Each virtual interface has its own MAC address, queues, and statistics.
The dedicated netmap interfaces (ncxgbeX / ncxlX) were already implemented
as additional VIs on each port. This change allows additional non-netmap
interfaces to be configured on each port. Additional virtual interfaces
use the naming scheme vcxgbeX or vcxlX.
Additional VIs are enabled by setting the hw.cxgbe.num_vis tunable to a
value greater than 1 before loading the cxgbe(4) or cxl(4) driver.
NB: The first VI on each port is the "main" interface (cxgbeX or cxlX).
T4/T5 NICs provide a limited number of MAC addresses for each physical port.
As a result, a maximum of six VIs can be configured on each port (including
the "main" interface and the netmap interface when netmap is enabled).
One user-visible result is that when netmap is enabled, packets received
or transmitted via the netmap interface are no longer counted in the stats
for the "main" interface, but are not accounted to the netmap interface.
The netmap interfaces now also have a new-bus device and export various
information sysctl nodes via dev.n(cxgbe|cxl).X.
The cxgbetool 'clearstats' command clears the stats for all VIs on the
specified port along with the port's stats. There is currently no way to
clear the stats of an individual VI.

If the IWCM returns an error, then we must abort the connection and
release resources. Also abort_connection() should not post a CLOSE
event, so clean that up too.

- The existing TCP INP_INFO lock continues to protect the global inpcb list
stability during full list traversal (e.g. tcp_pcblist()).
- A new INP_LIST lock protects inpcb list actual modifications (inp allocation
and free) and inpcb global counters.
It allows to use TCP INP_INFO_RLOCK lock in critical paths (e.g. tcp_input())
and INP_INFO_WLOCK only in occasional operations that walk all connections.

Both are used to protect access to IP addresses lists and they can be
acquired for reading several times per packet. To reduce lock contention
it is better to use rmlock here.

tables (although the stock driver doesn't do that right now).

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.

handle_ddp_close() function in t4_ddp.c as the logic is similar
to handle_ddp_data(). This allows all knowledge of the special
DDP mbufs to be private to t4_ddp.c as well.
strings returned to userland include the nulterm byte.
Some uses of sbuf_new_for_sysctl() write binary data rather than strings;
clear the SBUF_INCLUDENUL flag after calling sbuf_new_for_sysctl() in
those cases. (Note that the sbuf code still automatically adds a nulterm
byte in sbuf_finish(), but since it's not included in the length it won't
get copied to userland along with the binary data.)
Remove explicit adding of a nulterm byte in a couple places now that it
gets done automatically by the sbuf drain code.

These knobs will probably become per-rxq in the near future and will be
documented only after their final form is decided.

It is disabled by default but users can set IFCAP_TXCSUM on the

Drivers (ULDs) and the base if_cxgbe driver.
Track the per-adapter activation of ULDs in a new "active_ulds" field.
This was done pretty arbitrarily before this change -- via TOM_INIT_DONE
in adapter->flags for TOM, and the (1 << MAX_NPORTS) bit in
adapter->offload_map for iWARP.
iWARP and hw-accelerated iSCSI rely on the TOE (supported by the TOM
ULD). The rules are:
a) If the iWARP and/or iSCSI ULDs are available when TOE is enabled then
iWARP and/or iSCSI are enabled too.
b) When the iWARP and iSCSI modules are loaded they go looking for
adapters with TOE enabled and enable themselves on that adapter.
c) You cannot deactivate or unload the TOM module from underneath iWARP
or iSCSI. Any such attempt will fail with EBUSY.
