Restore the hwofs functionality temporarily disabled by
7ba6ecf216 to prevent issues with iflib.
This patch brings the necessary changes to iflib to
enable howfs to allow interface restarts without
disrupting netmap applications actively using its
rings.
After this change, it becomes possible for multiple
non-cooperating netmap applications to use non-overlapping
subsets of the available netmap rings without clashing
with each other.

Similarly to what done for iflib in 1d238b07d5,
this patch prevents access to the krings during the interface
reset triggered by netmap_register().
MFC after: 1 week
The netmap_reset() function is meant to be called by the driver
when they initialize (or re-initialize) a hardware ring.
However, since the introduction of support for opening (in
netmap mode) a subset of the available rings, netmap_reset()
may be called multiple times on actively used rings, causing
both kring and netmap ring to transition to an inconsistent
state.
This changes improves the situation by resetting all the
indices fields of the kring to 0, as expected after the
reinitialization of a hardware ring.

When different processes open separate subsets of the
available rings of a same netmap interface, a device
reset may be performed while one of the processes
is actively using some rings (e.g., caused by another
process executing a nmport_open()).
With this patch, such situation will cause the
active process to get a POLLERR, so that it can
have a chance to detect the situation.
We also guarantee that no process is running a txsync
or rxsync (ioctl or poll) while an iflib device reset
is in progress.

The nm_register callback needs to call nm_set_native_flags()
or nm_clear_native_flags() once the device has been stopped.
However, in the current implementation this is not true,
as the device is stopped by vtnet_init_locked(). This causes
race conditions where the driver crashes as soon as it
dequeues netmap buffers assuming they are mbufs (or the other
way around).
To fix the issue, we extend vtnet_init_locked() with a second
argument that, if not zero, will set/clear the netmap flags.
This results in a huge simplification of the nm_register
callback itself.
Also, use netmap_reset() to check if a ring is going to be
re-initialized in netmap mode.

This change prevents a race that happens when rxsync dequeues
N-1 rx packets (with N being the size of the netmap rx ring).
In this situation, the loop exits without re-enabling the
rx interrupts, thus causing the VQ to stall.

The new index tracks the next netmap slot that is going
to be enqueued into the virtqueue. The index is necessary
to prevent the receive VQ and the netmap rx ring from going
out of sync, considering that we never enqueue N slots, but
at most N-1. This change fixes a bug that causes the VQ
and the netmap ring to go out of sync after N-1 packets
have been received.

netmap assumes the one "slot" is left unused to distinguish

The vtnet_netmap_rxq_populate() function erroneously assumed
that kring->nr_hwcur = 0, i.e. the kring was in the initial
state. However, this is not always the case: for example,
when a vtnet reinit is triggered by some changes in the
interface flags or capenable.
This patch changes the behaviour of vtnet_netmap_kring_refill()
so that it always starts publishing the netmap buffers starting
from the current value of kring->nr_hwcur.

not been assigned, in order to avoid conflicts with other

removed from objects including calls to free. Pages must not be xbusy
when freed and not on an object. Strengthen assertions to match these
expectations. In practice very little code had to change busy handling
to meet these rules but we can now make stronger guarantees to busy
holders and avoid conditionally dropping busy in free.
Refine vm_page_remove() and vm_page_replace() semantics now that we have
stronger guarantees about busy state. This removes redundant and
potentially problematic code that has proliferated.

This patch is part of an effort to make bhyve networking (in particular TCP)
faster. The key strategy to enhance TCP throughput is to let the whole packet
datapath work with TSO/LRO packets (up to 64KB each), so that the per-packet
overhead is amortized over a large number of bytes.
This capability is supported in the guest by means of the vtnet(4) driver,
which is able to handle TSO/LRO packets leveraging the virtio-net header
(see struct virtio_net_hdr and struct virtio_net_hdr_mrg_rxbuf).
A bhyve VM exchanges packets with the host through a network backend,
which can be vale(4) or if_tap(4).
While vale(4) supports TSO/LRO packets, if_tap(4) does not.
This patch extends if_tap(4) with the ability to understand the virtio-net
header, so that a tapX interface can process TSO/LRO packets.
A couple of ioctl commands have been added to configure and probe the
virtio-net header. Once the virtio-net header is set, the tapX interface
acquires all the IFCAP capabilities necessary for TSO/LRO.

There are several mechanisms by which a vm_page reference is held,
preventing the page from being freed back to the page allocator. In
particular, holding the page's object lock is sufficient to prevent the
page from being freed; holding the busy lock or a wiring is sufficent as
well. These references are protected by the page lock, which must
therefore be acquired for many per-page operations. This results in
false sharing since the page locks are external to the vm_page
structures themselves and each lock protects multiple structures.
Transition to using an atomically updated per-page reference counter.
The object's reference is counted using a flag bit in the counter. A
second flag bit is used to atomically block new references via
pmap_extract_and_hold() while removing managed mappings of a page.
Thus, the reference count of a page is guaranteed not to increase if the
page is unbusied, unmapped, and the object's write lock is held. As
a consequence of this, the page lock no longer protects a page's
identity; operations which move pages between objects are now
synchronized solely by the objects' locks.
The vm_page_wire() and vm_page_unwire() KPIs are changed. The former
requires that either the object lock or the busy lock is held. The
latter no longer has a return value and may free the page if it releases
the last reference to that page. vm_page_unwire_noq() behaves the same
as before; the caller is responsible for checking its return value and
freeing or enqueuing the page as appropriate. vm_page_wire_mapped() is
introduced for use in pmap_extract_and_hold(). It fails if the page is
concurrently being unmapped, typically triggering a fallback to the
fault handler. vm_page_wire() no longer requires the page lock and
vm_page_unwire() now internally acquires the page lock when releasing
the last wiring of a page (since the page lock still protects a page's
queue state). In particular, synchronization details are no longer
leaked into the caller.
The change excises the page lock from several frequently executed code
paths. In particular, vm_object_terminate() no longer bounces between
page locks as it releases an object's pages, and direct I/O and
sendfile(SF_NOCACHE) completions no longer require the page lock. In
these latter cases we now get linear scalability in the common scenario
where different threads are operating on different files.
__FreeBSD_version is bumped. The DRM ports have been updated to
accomodate the KPI changes.

Some applications forward from/to host rings most or all the
traffic received or sent on a physical interface. In this
cases it is desirable to have more than a pair of RX/TX host
rings, and use multiple threads to speed up forwarding.
This change adds support for multiple host rings. On registering
a netmap port, the user can specify the number of desired receive
and transmit host rings in the nr_host_tx_rings and nr_host_rx_rings

When using poll(), select() or kevent() on netmap file descriptors,
netmap executes the equivalent of NIOCTXSYNC and NIOCRXSYNC commands,
before collecting the events that are ready. In other words, the
poll/kevent callback has side effects. This is done to avoid the
overhead of two system call per iteration (e.g., poll() + ioctl(NIOC*XSYNC)).
When the kqueue subsystem invokes the kqueue(9) f_event callback
(netmap_knrw), it holds the lock of the struct knlist object associated
to the netmap port (the lock is provided at initialization, by calling
knlist_init_mtx).
However, netmap_knrw() may need to wake up another netmap port (or even
the same one), which means that it may need to call knote().
Since knote() needs the lock of the struct knlist object associated to
the to-be-wake-up netmap port, it is possible to have a lock order reversal
problem (AB/BA deadlock).
This change prevents the deadlock by executing the knote() call in a
per-selinfo taskqueue, where it is possible to hold a mutex.
