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 This check has now now been
replaced by checking if "M_HASHTYPE_GET(m)" is different from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.

Although the PCB code has been taught about this (see below) this patch
doesn't introduce the rest of the PCB changes necessary to distribute
lookups among multiple PCB entries in the global wildcard table.
* Introduce IP_RSS_LISTEN_BUCKET - placing an listen socket into the
given RSS bucket (and thus a single PCBGROUP hash.)
* Modify the PCB add path to be aware of IP_BINDMULTI:
+ Only allow further PCB entries to be added if the owner credentials
and IP_BINDMULTI has been specified. Ie, only allow further
IP_BINDMULTI sockets to appear if the first bind() was IP_BINDMULTI.
* Teach the PCBGROUP code about IP_RSS_LISTE_BUCKET marked PCB entries.
Instead of using the wildcard logic and hashing, these sockets are
simply placed into the PCBGROUP and _not_ in the wildcard hash.
* When doing a PCBGROUP lookup, also do a wildcard match as well.
This allows for an RSS bucket PCB entry to appear in a PCBGROUP
rather than having to exist in the wildcard list.

* TCP IPv4 server testing with ix(4)

* The pcbgroup lookup code duplicated the wildcard and wildcard-PCB

* This doesn't yet work for IPv6 (The PCBGROUP code in netinet6/ doesn't

dereferencing, when checking for SO_REUSEPORT option (and SO_REUSEADDR
for multicast), INP_REUSEPORT flag was introduced to cache the socket
option. It was decided then that one flag would be enough to cache
both SO_REUSEPORT and SO_REUSEADDR: when processing SO_REUSEADDR
setsockopt(2), it was checked if it was called for a multicast address
and INP_REUSEPORT was set accordingly.
Unfortunately that approach does not work when setsockopt(2) is called
before binding to a multicast address: the multicast check fails and
INP_REUSEPORT is not set.
Fix this by adding INP_REUSEADDR flag to unconditionally cache
SO_REUSEADDR.

Actually it may be net negative because two cache misses would be

Both functions need to obtain lock on the found PCB, and they can't do
classic inter-lock with the PCB hash lock, due to lock order reversal.
To keep the PCB stable, these functions put a reference on it and after PCB
lock is acquired drop it. If the reference was the last one, this means
we've raced with in_pcbfree() and the PCB is no longer valid.
This approach works okay only if we are acquiring writer-lock on the PCB.
In case of reader-lock, the following scenario can happen:
- 2 threads locate pcb, and do in_pcbref() on it.
- These 2 threads drop the inp hash lock.
- Another thread comes to delete pcb via in_pcbfree(), it obtains hash lock,
does in_pcbremlists(), drops hash lock, and runs in_pcbrele_wlocked(), which
doesn't free the pcb due to two references on it. Then it unlocks the pcb.
- 2 aforementioned threads acquire reader lock on the pcb and run
in_pcbrele_rlocked(). One gets 1 from in_pcbrele_rlocked() and continues,
second gets 0 and considers pcb freed, returns.
- The thread that got 1 continutes working with detached pcb, which later
leads to panic in the underlying protocol level.
To plumb that problem an additional INPCB flag introduced - INP_FREED. We
check for that flag in the in_pcbrele_rlocked() and if it is set, we pretend
that that was the last reference.

struct inpcbgroup. pcbgroups, or "connection groups", supplement the
existing inpcbinfo connection hash table, which when pcbgroups are
enabled, might now be thought of more usefully as a per-protocol
4-tuple reservation table.
Connections are assigned to connection groups base on a hash of their
4-tuple; wildcard sockets require special handling, and are members
of all connection groups. During a connection lookup, a
per-connection group lock is employed rather than the global pcbinfo
lock. By aligning connection groups with input path processing,
connection groups take on an effective CPU affinity, especially when
aligned with RSS work placement (see a forthcoming commit for
details). This eliminates cache line migration associated with
global, protocol-layer data structures in steady state TCP and UDP
processing (with the exception of protocol-layer statistics; further
commit to follow).
Elements of this approach were inspired by Willman, Rixner, and Cox's
2006 USENIX paper, "An Evaluation of Network Stack Parallelization
Strategies in Modern Operating Systems". However, there are also
significant differences: we maintain the inpcb lock, rather than using
the connection group lock for per-connection state.
Likewise, the focus of this implementation is alignment with NIC
packet distribution strategies such as RSS, rather than pure software
strategies. Despite that focus, software distribution is supported
through the parallel netisr implementation, and works well in
configurations where the number of hardware threads is greater than
the number of NIC input queues, such as in the RMI XLR threaded MIPS
architecture.
Another important difference is the continued maintenance of existing
hash tables as "reservation tables" -- these are useful both to
distinguish the resource allocation aspect of protocol name management
and the more common-case lookup aspect. In configurations where
connection tables are aligned with hardware hashes, it is desirable to
use the traditional lookup tables for loopback or encapsulated traffic
rather than take the expense of hardware hashes that are hard to
implement efficiently in software (such as RSS Toeplitz).
Connection group support is enabled by compiling "options PCBGROUP"
into your kernel configuration; for the time being, this is an
experimental feature, and hence is not enabled by default.
Subject to the limited MFCability of change dependencies in inpcb,
and its change to the inpcbinfo init function signature, this change
in principle could be merged to FreeBSD 8.x.

RSS support, we will want to use hashes extracted from mbufs, rather than

Add notes that it would be nice to be able to pass mbufs into lookup
routines in pf(4), optimising firewall lookup in the same way, but the
code structure there doesn't facilitate that currently.

- The existing ipi_lock continues to protect the global inpcb list and
inpcb counter. This lock is now relegated to a small number of
allocation and free operations, and occasional operations that walk
all connections (including, awkwardly, certain UDP multicast receive
operations -- something to revisit).
- A new ipi_hash_lock protects the two inpcbinfo hash tables for
looking up connections and bound sockets, manipulated using new
INP_HASH_*() macros. This lock, combined with inpcb locks, protects
the 4-tuple address space.
Unlike the current ipi_lock, ipi_hash_lock follows the individual inpcb
connection locks, so may be acquired while manipulating a connection on
which a lock is already held, avoiding the need to acquire the inpcbinfo
lock preemptively when a binding change might later be required. As a
result, however, lookup operations necessarily go through a reference
acquire while holding the lookup lock, later acquiring an inpcb lock --
if required.
A new function in_pcblookup() looks up connections, and accepts flags
indicating how to return the inpcb. Due to lock order changes, callers
no longer need acquire locks before performing a lookup: the lookup
routine will acquire the ipi_hash_lock as needed. In the future, it will
also be able to use alternative lookup and locking strategies
transparently to callers, such as pcbgroup lookup. New lookup flags are,
supplementing the existing INPLOOKUP_WILDCARD flag:
INPLOOKUP_RLOCKPCB - Acquire a read lock on the returned inpcb
INPLOOKUP_WLOCKPCB - Acquire a write lock on the returned inpcb
Callers must pass exactly one of these flags (for the time being).
Some notes:
- All protocols are updated to work within the new regime; especially,
TCP, UDPv4, and UDPv6. pcbinfo ipi_lock acquisitions are largely
eliminated, and global hash lock hold times are dramatically reduced
compared to previous locking.
- The TCP syncache still relies on the pcbinfo lock, something that we
may want to revisit.
- Support for reverting to the FreeBSD 7.x locking strategy in TCP input
is no longer available -- hash lookup locks are now held only very
briefly during inpcb lookup, rather than for potentially extended
periods. However, the pcbinfo ipi_lock will still be acquired if a
connection state might change such that a connection is added or
removed.
- Raw IP sockets continue to use the pcbinfo ipi_lock for protection,
due to maintaining their own hash tables.
- The interface in6_pcblookup_hash_locked() is maintained, which allows
callers to acquire hash locks and perform one or more lookups atomically
with 4-tuple allocation: this is required only for TCPv6, as there is no
in6_pcbconnect_setup(), which there should be.
- UDPv6 locking remains significantly more conservative than UDPv4
locking, which relates to source address selection. This needs
attention, as it likely significantly reduces parallelism in this code
for multithreaded socket use (such as in BIND).
- In the UDPv4 and UDPv6 multicast cases, we need to revisit locking
somewhat, as they relied on ipi_lock to stablise 4-tuple matches, which
is no longer sufficient. A second check once the inpcb lock is held
should do the trick, keeping the general case from requiring the inpcb
lock for every inpcb visited.
- This work reminds us that we need to revisit locking of the v4/v6 flags,
which may be accessed lock-free both before and after this change.
- Right now, a single lock name is used for the pcbhash lock -- this is
undesirable, and probably another argument is required to take care of
this (or a char array name field in the pcbinfo?).
This is not an MFC candidate for 8.x due to its impact on lookup and
locking semantics. It's possible some of these issues could be worked
around with compatibility wrappers, if necessary.

reworking of inpcbinfo locking:
(1) Convert inpcb reference counting from manually manipulated integers to
the refcount(9) KPI. This allows the refcount to be managed atomically
with an inpcb read lock rather than write lock, or even with no inpcb
lock at all. As a result, in_pcbref() also no longer requires an inpcb
lock, so can be performed solely using the lock used to look up an
inpcb.
(2) Shift more inpcb freeing activity from the in_pcbrele() context (via
in_pcbfree_internal) to the explicit in_pcbfree() context. This means
that the inpcb refcount is increasingly used only to maintain memory
stability, not actually defer the clean up of inpcb protocol parts.
This is desirable as many of those protocol parts required the pcbinfo
lock, which we'd like not to acquire in in_pcbrele() contexts. Document
this in comments better.
(3) Introduce new read-locked and write-locked in_pcbrele() variations,
in_pcbrele_rlocked() and in_pcbrele_wlocked(), which allow the inpcb to
be properly unlocked as needed. in_pcbrele() is a wrapper around the
latter, and should probably go away at some point. This makes it
easier to use this weak reference model when holding only a read lock,
as will happen in the future.
This may well be safe to MFC, but some more KBI analysis is required.

network stack memory allocator. Modify vnet to use the allocator
instead of monolithic global container structures (vinet, ...). This
change solves many binary compatibility problems associated with
VIMAGE, and restores ELF symbols for virtualized global variables.
Each virtualized global variable exists as a "reference copy", and also
once per virtual network stack. Virtualized global variables are
tagged at compile-time, placing the in a special linker set, which is
loaded into a contiguous region of kernel memory. Virtualized global
variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules
are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet
region with the help of a the kernel linker.
Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the
network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from
the reference copy. Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which
converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet
address. When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal
global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided.
This change restores static initialization for network stack global
variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates
the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem
structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for
monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the
per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the
need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate
definitions of virtualized globals under VIMAGE_GLOBALS.

can now request the framework to provide them with allocated bzeroed
memory by filling in the vmi_size field in their vmi_modinfo structures.
4) structs socket, ifnet, inpcbinfo, tcpcb and syncache_head are

will fill in those fields as required.
5) curvnet is introduced as a new global variable in options VIMAGE
builds, always pointing to the default and only struct vnet.
6) struct sysctl_oid has been extended with additional two fields to
store major and minor virtualization module identifiers, oid_v_subs and
oid_v_mod. SYSCTL_V_* family of macros will fill in those fields
accordingly, and store the offset in the appropriate vnet container
struct in oid_arg1.
In sysctl handlers dealing with virtualized sysctls, the
SYSCTL_RESOLVE_V_ARG1() macro will compute the address of the target
