the cluster itself. This confers the benefits of the packet zone on
all cluster sizes. Embedded mbufs currently suffer from the same
limitation that packet zone mbufs do in that one cannot disconnect
them and pass them around independently of the cluster. It would
likely be possible to eliminate this limitation in the future by
adding a second reference for the mbuf itself.

It always called MH_ALIGN for small lengths being
prepended (less than MHLEN). This meant that if you did
a prepend on a non M_PKTHDR the system would panic with
the KASSERT in MH_ALIGN. Instead we are not aware of
this and do a MH_ALIGN or M_ALIGN as appropriate.

m_getjcl() returns an mbuf with a cluster of the specified size attached
like m_getcl() does for 2k clusters.
m_cljget() is different from m_clget() as it can allocate clusters
without attaching them to an mbuf. In that case the return value
is the pointer to the cluster of the requested size. If an mbuf was
specified, it gets the cluster attached to it and the return value

All mbuf's with external storage attached are mandatory reference
counted. For clusters and jumbo clusters UMA provides the refcnt
storage directly. It does not have to be separatly allocated. Any
other type of external storage gets its own refcnt allocated from
an UMA mbuf refcnt zone instead of normal kernel malloc.
The refcount API MEXT_ADD_REF() and MEXT_REM_REF() is no longer
publically accessible. The proper m_* functions have to be used.
mb_ctor_clust() and mb_dtor_clust() both handle normal 2K as well
as 9k and 16k clusters.
Clusters and jumbo clusters may be obtained without attaching it
immideatly to an mbuf. This is for high performance cluster
allocation in network drivers where mbufs are attached after the
cluster has been filled.

do not need to perform an extra memory fetch in the Packet (Mbuf+Cluster)
constructor to initialize the reference counter anymore. The reference
counts are located in a separate memory region (in the slab header,
because this zone is UMA_ZONE_REFCNT), so the memory fetch resulted very
often in a cache miss. Additionally, and perhaps more significantly,
optimize the free mbuf+cluster (packet) case, which is very common, to
no longer require an atomic operation on free (to verify the reference
counter) if the reference on the cluster has never been increased (also
very common). Reduces an atomic on mbuf free on average.

This should fix that by performing only a single

the ref_cnt, only if it hasn't changed since the
earlier read, otherwise it'll loop and re-read.
This forces ordering of decrements so that truly

one that frees.
This is how atomic-instruction-based refcnting

mbuma is an Mbuf & Cluster allocator built on top of a number of
extensions to the UMA framework, all included herein.
Extensions to UMA worth noting:
- Better layering between slab <-> zone caches; introduce
Keg structure which splits off slab cache away from the
zone structure and allows multiple zones to be stacked
on top of a single Keg (single type of slab cache);
perhaps we should look into defining a subset API on
top of the Keg for special use by malloc(9),
for example.
- UMA_ZONE_REFCNT zones can now be added, and reference
counters automagically allocated for them within the end
of the associated slab structures. uma_find_refcnt()
does a kextract to fetch the slab struct reference from
the underlying page, and lookup the corresponding refcnt.
mbuma things worth noting:
- integrates mbuf & cluster allocations with extended UMA
and provides caches for commonly-allocated items; defines
several zones (two primary, one secondary) and two kegs.
- change up certain code paths that always used to do:
m_get() + m_clget() to instead just use m_getcl() and
try to take advantage of the newly defined secondary
Packet zone.
- netstat(1) and systat(1) quickly hacked up to do basic
stat reporting but additional stats work needs to be
done once some other details within UMA have been taken
care of and it becomes clearer to how stats will work
within the modified framework.
From the user perspective, one implication is that the
NMBCLUSTERS compile-time option is no longer used. The
maximum number of clusters is still capped off according
to maxusers, but it can be made unlimited by setting
the kern.ipc.nmbclusters boot-time tunable to zero.
Work should be done to write an appropriate sysctl
handler allowing dynamic tuning of kern.ipc.nmbclusters
at runtime.
Additional things worth noting/known issues (READ):
- One report of 'ips' (ServeRAID) driver acting really
slow in conjunction with mbuma. Need more data.
Latest report is that ips is equally sucking with
and without mbuma.
- Giant leak in NFS code sometimes occurs, can't
reproduce but currently analyzing; brueffer is
able to reproduce but THIS IS NOT an mbuma-specific
problem and currently occurs even WITHOUT mbuma.
- Issues in network locking: there is at least one
code path in the rip code where one or more locks
are acquired and we end up in m_prepend() with
M_WAITOK, which causes WITNESS to whine from within
UMA. Current temporary solution: force all UMA
allocations to be M_NOWAIT from within UMA for now
to avoid deadlocks unless WITNESS is defined and we
can determine with certainty that we're not holding
any locks when we're M_WAITOK.
- I've seen at least one weird socketbuffer empty-but-
mbuf-still-attached panic. I don't believe this
to be related to mbuma but please keep your eyes
open, turn on debugging, and capture crash dumps.
This change removes more code than it adds.
A paper is available detailing the change and considering
various performance issues, it was presented at BSDCan2004:
