The current TSO limitation feature only takes the total number of
bytes in an mbuf chain into account and does not limit by the number
of mbufs in a chain. Some kinds of hardware is limited by two
factors. One is the fragment length and the second is the fragment
count. Both of these limits need to be taken into account when doing
TSO. Else some kinds of hardware might have to drop completely valid
mbuf chains because they cannot loaded into the given hardware's DMA
engine. The new way of doing TSO limitation has been made backwards
compatible as input from other FreeBSD developers and will use
defaults for values not set.

if_delmulti() when clearing the configuration for a subinterface when
the parent interface is being detached. The current code was still
triggering an assertion in if_delmulti() due to the parent interface being
partially detached. Fix this by not calling if_delmulti() at all if the
parent interface is being detached. Warn if if_delmulti() fails when the
parent is not being detached (but similar to 208212, still proceed with
tearing down the vlan state).

These are available as t3_tom and t4_tom modules that augment cxgb(4)

What interfaces support TCP offload? Look for TOE4 and/or TOE6 in the
capabilities of an interface:
# ifconfig -m | grep TOE
Enable/disable TCP offload on an interface (just like any other ifnet
capability):
# ifconfig cxgbe0 toe
# ifconfig cxgbe0 -toe
Which connections are offloaded? Look for toe4 and/or toe6 in the
output of netstat and sockstat:
# netstat -np tcp | grep toe
# sockstat -46c | grep toe

places to report the interface as Ethernet (getifaddrs(3)). Now they
should all report IFT_L2VLAN.

interface when tearing down a vlan interface. If a trunk interface is
detached, all of its multicast addresses are removed before the ifnet
departure eventhandlers are invoked. This means that all of the multicast
addresses are removed before the vlan interfaces are removed which causes
the if_delmulti() calls in the vlan teardown to fail.
In the VLAN_ARRAY case, this left vlan interfaces referencing a no longer
valid parent interface. In the !VLAN_ARRAY case, the eventhandler gets
stuck in an infinite loop retrying vlan_unconfig_locked() forever. In
general the callers of vlan_unconfig_locked() do not expect nor handle
failure, so I believe it is safer to ignore the errors and tear down as
much of the vlan state as possible.

(DPCPU), as suggested by Peter Wemm, and implement a new per-virtual
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.
