Before that, the logic besides lle_create() was the following:
return existing if found, create if not. This behaviour was error-prone
since we had to deal with 'sudden' static<>dynamic lle changes.
This commit fixes bunch of different issues like:
- refcount leak when lle is converted to static.
Simple check case:
console 1:
while true;
do for i in `arp -an|awk '$4~/incomp/{print$2}'|tr -d '()'`;
do arp -s $i 00:22:44:66:88:00 ; arp -d $i;
done;
done
console 2:
ping -f any-dead-host-in-L2
console 3:
# watch for memory consumption:
vmstat -m | awk '$1~/lltable/{print$2}'
- possible problems in arptimer() / nd6_timer() when dropping/reacquiring
lock.
New logic explicitly handles use-or-create cases in every lla_create
user. Basically, most of the changes are purely mechanical. However,
we explicitly avoid using existing lle's for interface/static LLE records.
* While here, call lle_event handlers on all real table lle change.
* Create lltable_free_entry() calling existing per-lltable
lle_free_t callback for entry deletion
This permits us having all (not fully true yet) all the info
needed in lookup process in first 64 bytes of 'struct llentry'.
struct llentry layout:
BEFORE:
[rwlock .. state .. state .. MAC ] (lle+1) [sockaddr_in[6]]
AFTER
[ in[6]_addr MAC .. state .. rwlock ]
Currently, address part of struct llentry has only 16 bytes for the key.
However, lltable does not restrict any custom lltable consumers with long
keys use the previous approach (store key at (lle+1)).

The filter is called from the network hot path and must not sleep.
The filter runs with the descriptor lock held and does not manipulates the
buffers, so it is not necessary sleep when the hold buffer is in use.
Just ignore the hold buffer contents when it is being copied to user space
(when hold buffer in use is set).
This fix the "Sleeping thread owns a non-sleepable lock" panic when the
userland thread is too busy reading the packets from bpf(4).

The first one never triggers because bpf_canfreebuf() can only be true for
zero-copy buffers and zero-copy buffers are not read with read(2).
The second also never triggers, because we check the free buffer before
calling ROTATE_BUFFERS(). If the hold buffer is in use the free buffer
will be NULL and there is nothing else to do besides drop the packet. If
the free buffer isn't NULL the hold buffer _is_ free and it is safe to
rotate the buffers.

vtnet interfaces are always in promiscuous mode (at least if the
VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_RX feature is not negotiated with the host). if_promisc() on
a vtnet interface returned ENOTSUP although it has IFF_PROMISC set. This
confused the bridge code. Instead we now accept all enable/disable promiscuous
commands (and always keep IFF_PROMISC set).
There are also two issues with the if_bridge error handling.
If if_promisc() fails it uses bridge_delete_member() to clean up. This tries to
disable promiscuous mode on the interface. That runs into an assert, because
promiscuous mode was never set in the first place. (That's the panic reported in
PR 200210.)
We can only unset promiscuous mode if the interface actually is promiscuous.
This goes against the reference counting done by if_promisc(), but only the
first/last if_promic() calls can actually fail, so this is safe.
A second issue is a double free of bif. It's already freed by
bridge_delete_member().

I edited the original change to retain the use of arc4random() as a seed for
the hashing as a very basic defense against intentional lagg port selection.
The author's original commit message (edited slightly):
sys/net/ieee8023ad_lacp.c
sys/net/if_lagg.c
In lagg_hashmbuf, use the FNV hash instead of the old
hash32_buf. The hash32 family of functions operate one octet
at a time, and when run on a string s of length n, their output
is equivalent to :
----- i=n-1
\
n \ (n-i-1) 32
( seed^ + / 33^ * s[i] ) % 2^
/
----- i=0
The problem is that the last five bytes of input don't get
multiplied by sufficiently many powers of 33 to rollover 2^32.
That means that changing the last few bytes (but obviously not
the very last) of input will always change the value of the
hash by a multiple of 33. In the case of lagg_hashmbuf() with
ipv4 input, the last four bytes are the TCP or UDP port
numbers. Since the output of lagg_hashmbuf is always taken
modulo the port count, and 3 is a common port count for a lagg,
that's bad. It means that the UDP or TCP source port will
never affect which lagg member is selected on a 3-port lagg.
At 10Gbps, I was not able to measure any difference in CPU
consumption between the old and new hash.

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.

* struct llentry is now basically split into 2 pieces:
all fields within 64 bytes (amd64) are now protected by both
ifdata lock AND lle lock, e.g. you require both locks to be held
exclusively for modification. All data necessary for fast path
operations is kept here. Some fields were added:
- r_l3addr - makes lookup key liev within first 64 bytes.
- r_flags - flags, containing pre-compiled decision whether given
lle contains usable data or not. Current the only flag is RLLE_VALID.
- r_len - prepend data len, currently unused
- r_kick - used to provide feedback to control plane (see below).
All other fields are protected by lle lock.
* Add simple state machine for ARP to handle "about to expire" case:
Current model (for the fast path) is the following:
- rlock afdata
- find / rlock rte
- runlock afdata
- see if "expire time" is approaching
(time_uptime + la->la_preempt > la->la_expire)
- if true, call arprequest() and decrease la_preempt
- store MAC and runlock rte
New model (data plane):
- rlock afdata
- find rte
- check if it can be used using r_* fields only
- if true, store MAC
- if r_kick field != 0 set it to 0.
- runlock afdata
New mode (control plane):
- schedule arptimer to be called in (V_arpt_keep - V_arp_maxtries)
seconds instead of V_arpt_keep.
- on first timer invocation change state from ARP_LLINFO_REACHABLE
to ARP_LLINFO_VERIFY, sets r_kick to 1 and shedules next call in
V_arpt_rexmit (default to 1 sec).
- on subsequent timer invocations in ARP_LLINFO_VERIFY state, checks
for r_kick value: reschedule if not changed, and send arprequest()
if set to zero (e.g. entry was used).
* Convert IPv4 path to use new single-lock approach. IPv6 bits to follow.
* Slow down in_arpinput(): now valid reply will (in most cases) require

* Provide explicit hash link/unlink functions for both ipv4/ipv6 code.
This will probably be moved to generic lle code once we have per-AF
hashing callback inside lltable.
* Perform lle unlink on deletion immediately instead of delaying it to

* correct interface accounting for outgoing datagramms (count only payload size);
* implement generic support for using IPv6 as delivery header;

Some virtual if drivers has (ab)used ifa ifa_rtrequest hook to enforce
route MTU to be not bigger that interface MTU. While ifa_rtrequest hooking
might be an option in some situation, it is not feasible to do MTU checks
there: generic (or per-domain) routing code is perfectly capable of doing
this.
We currrently have 3 places where MTU is altered:
1) route addition.
In this case domain overrides radix _addroute callback (in[6]_addroute)
and all necessary checks/fixes are/can be done there.
2) route change (especially, GW change).
In this case, there are no explicit per-domain calls, but one can
override rte by setting ifa_rtrequest hook to domain handler
(inet6 does this).
3) ifconfig ifaceX mtu YYYY
In this case, we have no callbacks, but ip[6]_output performes runtime
checks and decreases rt_mtu if necessary.
Generally, the goals are to be able to handle all MTU changes in
control plane, not in runtime part, and properly deal with increased
interface MTU.
This commit changes the following:
* removes hooks setting MTU from drivers side
* adds proper per-doman MTU checks for case 1)
* adds generic MTU check for case 2)
* The latter is done by using new dom_ifmtu callback since
if_mtu denotes L3 interface MTU, e.g. maximum trasmitted _packet_ size.
However, IPv6 mtu might be different from if_mtu one (e.g. default 1280)
for some cases, so we need an abstract way to know maximum MTU size
for given interface and domain.
* moves rt_setmetrics() before MTU/ifa_rtrequest hooks since it copies
user-supplied data which must be checked.
* removes RT_LOCK_ASSERT() from other ifa_rtrequest hooks to be able to
use this functions on new non-inserted rte.
More changes will follow soon.

So, we provide two different wrappers to in6_selectsrc()

- SAS, via in6_selecsrc() -> in6_selectif() -> selectroute()
- output, via in6_output -> wrapper -> selectroute()
Provide different versions for each customer:
- fib6_lookup_nh_basic()-based in6_selectif() which is
capable of returning interface only, without MTU/NHOP/L2
calculations
- full-blown fib6_selectroute() with cached route/multipath/

This code has had an extensive rewrite and a good series of reviews, both by the author and other parties. This means a lot of code has been simplified. Pluggable structures for high-rate entropy generators are available, and it is most definitely not the case that /dev/random can be driven by only a hardware souce any more. This has been designed out of the device. Hardware sources are stirred into the CSPRNG (Yarrow, Fortuna) like any other entropy source. Pluggable modules may be written by third parties for additional sources.
The harvesting structures and consequently the locking have been simplified. Entropy harvesting is done in a more general way (the documentation for this will follow). There is some GREAT entropy to be had in the UMA allocator, but it is disabled for now as messing with that is likely to annoy many people.
The venerable (but effective) Yarrow algorithm, which is no longer supported by its authors now has an alternative, Fortuna. For now, Yarrow is retained as the default algorithm, but this may be changed using a kernel option. It is intended to make Fortuna the default algorithm for 11.0. Interested parties are encouraged to read ISBN 978-0-470-47424-2 "Cryptography Engineering" By Ferguson, Schneier and Kohno for Fortuna's gory details. Heck, read it anyway.

vxlan creates a virtual LAN by encapsulating the inner Ethernet frame in
a UDP packet. This implementation is based on RFC7348.
Currently, the IPv6 support is not fully compliant with the specification:
we should be able to receive UPDv6 packets with a zero checksum, but we
need to support RFC6935 first. Patches for this should come soon.
Encapsulation protocols such as vxlan emphasize the need for the FreeBSD
network stack to support batching, GRO, and GSO. Each frame has to make
two trips through the network stack, and each frame will be at most MTU
sized. Performance suffers accordingly.
Some latest generation NICs have begun to support vxlan HW offloads that
we should also take advantage of. VIMAGE support should also be added soon.

The goals of the new API is to provide consumers with minimal
needed information, but as fast as possible. So we provide
full nexthop info copied into alighed on-cache structure
instead of rte/ia pointers, their refcounts and locks.
This does not provide solution for protecting from egress
ifp destruction, but does not make it any worse.
Current changes:
nhops:
Add fib4_lookup_prepend() function which stores either full
L2+L3 prepend info (e.g. MAC header in case of plain IPv4) or
L3 info with NH_FLAGS_L2_INCOMPLETE flag indicating that no valid L2
info exists and we have to take "slow" path.
ip_output:
Currently ip[ 46]_output consumers use 'struct route' for
the following purposes:
1) double lookup avoidance(route caching)
2) plain route caching
3) get path MTU to be able to notify source.
The former pattern is mostly used by various tunnels
(gif, gre, stf). (Actually, gre is the only remaining,
others were already converted. Their locking model did
not scale good enogh to benefit from such caching, so
we have (temporarily) removed it without any performance
loss).
Plain route caching used by SCTP is simply wrong and should be removed.
Temporary break it for now just to be able to compile.
Optimize path mtu reporting by providing it in new 'route_info' stucture.
Minimize games with @ia locking/refcounting for route lookup:
add special nhop[46]_extended structure to store more route attributes.
Pointer to given structure can be passed to fib4_lookup_prepend() to indicate
we want this info (we actually needs it for UDP and raw IP).
ether_output:
Provide light-weight ether_output2() call to deal with
transmitting L2 frame (e.g. properly handle broadcast/simloop/bridge/
other L2 hooks before actually transmitting frame by if_transmit()).
Add a hack based on new RT_NHOP ro_flag to distinguish which version should
we call. Better way is probably to add a new "if_output_frame" driver
callbacks.
Next steps:
* Convert ip_fastfwd part
* Implement auto-growing array for per-radix nexthops
* Implement LLE tracking for nexthop calculations to be able to
immediately provide all necessary info in single route lookup
for gateway routes
* Switch radix locking scheme to runtime/cfg lock
* Implement multipath support for rtsock
* Implement "tracked nexthops" for tunnels (e.g. _proper_
nexthop caching)
* Add IPv6 support for remaining parts (postponed not to
interfere with user/ae/inet6 branch)
* Consider adding "if_output_frame" driver call to
ease logical frame pushing.

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

including Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, Stefano Garzarella.
MFC after: 3 days.
