which allows an index to be reserved for an ifnet without making
the ifnet available for management operations.  Use this in if_alloc()

completion of ifnet initialization.

Add ifindex_free() to centralize the implementation of releasing an

ef8d755d4d Rework global locks for interface list and index management, correcting
several critical bugs, including race conditions and lock order issues:

Replace the single rwlock, ifnet_lock, with two locks, an rwlock and an
sxlock.  Either can be held to stablize the lists and indexes, but both
are required to write.  This allows the list to be held stable in both
network interrupt contexts and sleepable user threads across sleeping
memory allocations or device driver interactions.  As before, writes to
the interface list must occur from sleepable contexts.

3aec900b26 Make the in-kernel logic for the SIOCSIFVNET, SIOCSIFRVNET ioctls
(ifconfig ifN (-)vnet <jname|jid>) work correctly.

Move vi_if_move to if.c and split it up into two functions(*),
one for each ioctl.

In the reclaim case, correctly set the vnet before calling if_vmove.

Instead of silently allowing a move of an interface from the current
vnet to the current vnet, return an error. (*)

There is some duplicate interface name checking before actually moving
the interface between network stacks without locking and thus race
prone. Ideally if_vmove will correctly and automagically handle these
in the future.

b3be1c6e3b Introduce and use a sysinit-based initialization scheme for virtual
network stacks, VNET_SYSINIT:

- Add VNET_SYSINIT and VNET_SYSUNINIT macros to declare events that will
  occur each time a network stack is instantiated and destroyed.  In the
  !VIMAGE case, these are simply mapped into regular SYSINIT/SYSUNINIT.
  For the VIMAGE case, we instead use SYSINIT's to track their order and
  properties on registration, using them for each vnet when created/
  destroyed, or immediately on module load for already-started vnets.
- Remove vnet_modinfo mechanism that existed to serve this purpose
  previously, as well as its dependency scheme: we now just use the
  SYSINIT ordering scheme.
- Implement VNET_DOMAIN_SET() to allow protocol domains to declare that
  they want init functions to be called for each virtual network stack
  rather than just once at boot, compiling down to DOMAIN_SET() in the
  non-VIMAGE case.
- Walk all virtualized kernel subsystems and make use of these instead
  of modinfo or DOMAIN_SET() for init/uninit events.  In some cases,
  convert modular components from using modevent to using sysinit (where
  appropriate).  In some cases, do minor rejuggling of SYSINIT ordering
  to make room for or better manage events.

6955067932 Reimplement and/or implement vnet list locking by replacing a mostly
unused custom mutex/condvar-based sleep locks with two locks: an
rwlock (for non-sleeping use) and sxlock (for sleeping use).  Either
acquired for read is sufficient to stabilize the vnet list, but both
must be acquired for write to modify the list.

Replace previous no-op read locking macros, used in various places
in the stack, with actual locking to prevent race conditions.  Callers
must declare when they may perform unbounded sleeps or not when
selecting how to lock.

Refactor vnet sysinits so that the vnet list and locks are initialized
before kernel modules are linked, as the kernel linker will use them
for modules loaded by the boot loader.

Update various consumers of these KPIs based on whether they may sleep

57ca4583e7 Build on Jeff Roberson's linker-set based dynamic per-CPU allocator
(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.

Remove unused macro which didn't have required referencing:

  IFP_TO_IA6

This closes many small races in which changes to interface
or address lists while an ifaddr was in use could lead to use of freed
memory (etc).  In a few cases, add missing if_addr_list locking
required to safely acquire references.

Because of a lack of deep copying support, we accept a race in which
an in6_ifaddr pointed to by mbuf tags and extracted with
ip6_getdstifaddr() doesn't hold a reference while in transmit.  Once
we have mbuf tag deep copy support, this can be fixed.

e1cb2941d4 Adapt vfs kqfilter to the shared vnode lock used by zfs write vop. Use

vnode interlock.

Do not use kl_locked() method to assert either lock ownership or the
fact that curthread does not own the lock. For shared locks, ownership
is not recorded, e.g. VOP_ISLOCKED can return LK_SHARED for the shared
lock not owned by curthread, causing false positives in kqueue subsystem
assertions about knlist lock.

Remove kl_locked method from knlist lock vector, and add two separate
assertion methods kl_assert_locked and kl_assert_unlocked, that are
supposed to use proper asserts. Change knlist_init accordingly.

Vnet modules and protocol domains may now register destructor
functions to clean up and release per-module state.  The destructor
mechanisms can be triggered by invoking "vimage -d", or a future

While this patch introduces numerous placeholder destructor functions,
many of those are currently incomplete, thus leaking memory or (even
worse) failing to stop all running timers.  Many of such issues are
already known and will be incrementaly fixed over the next weeks in
smaller incremental commits.

Apart from introducing new fields in structs ifnet, domain, protosw
and vnet_net, which requires the kernel and modules to be rebuilt, this

363a644ce6 Introduce the if_vmove() function, which will be used in the future
for reassigning ifnets from one vnet to another.

if_vmove() works by calling a restricted subset of actions normally
executed by if_detach() on an ifnet in the current vnet, and then
switches to the target vnet and executes an appropriate subset of
if_attach() actions there.

if_attach() and if_detach() have become wrapper functions around
if_attach_internal() and if_detach_internal(), where the later
variants have an additional argument, a flag indicating whether a
full attach or detach sequence is to be executed, or only a
restricted subset suitable for moving an ifnet from one vnet to
another.  Hence, if_vmove() will not call if_detach() and if_attach()
directly, but will call the if_detach_internal() and
if_attach_internal() variants instead, with the vmove flag set.

While here, staticize ifnet_setbyindex() since it is not referenced
from outside of sys/net/if.c.

Also rename ifccnt field in struct vimage to ifcnt, and do some minor
whitespace garbage collection where appropriate.

d78a1b1a82 Change the curvnet variable from a global const struct vnet *,
previously always pointing to the default vnet context, to a
dynamically changing thread-local one.  The currvnet context
should be set on entry to networking code via CURVNET_SET() macros,
and reverted to previous state via CURVNET_RESTORE().  Recursions
on curvnet are permitted, though strongly discuouraged.

This change should have no functional impact on nooptions VIMAGE
kernel builds, where CURVNET_* macros expand to whitespace.

The curthread->td_vnet (aka curvnet) variable's purpose is to be an
indicator of the vnet context in which the current network-related
operation takes place, in case we cannot deduce the current vnet
context from any other source, such as by looking at mbuf's
m->m_pkthdr.rcvif->if_vnet, sockets's so->so_vnet etc.  Moreover, so
far curvnet has turned out to be an invaluable consistency checking
aid: it helps to catch cases when sockets, ifnets or any other
vnet-aware structures may have leaked from one vnet to another.

The exact placement of the CURVNET_SET() / CURVNET_RESTORE() macros
was a result of an empirical iterative process, whith an aim to
reduce recursions on CURVNET_SET() to a minimum, while still reducing
the scope of CURVNET_SET() to networking only operations - the
alternative would be calling CURVNET_SET() on each system call entry.
In general, curvnet has to be set in three typicall cases: when
processing socket-related requests from userspace or from within the
kernel; when processing inbound traffic flowing from device drivers
to upper layers of the networking stack, and when executing
timer-driven networking functions.

This change also introduces a DDB subcommand to show the list of all
vnet instances.

39b6dc8ba2 Permit buiding kernels with options VIMAGE, restricted to only a single
active network stack instance.  Turning on options VIMAGE at compile
time yields the following changes relative to default kernel build:

1) V_ accessor macros for virtualized variables resolve to structure
fields via base pointers, instead of being resolved as fields in global
structs or plain global variables.  As an example, V_ifnet becomes:

    options VIMAGE:          ((struct vnet_net *) vnet_net)->_ifnet
    default build:           vnet_net_0._ifnet
    options VIMAGE_GLOBALS:  ifnet

2) INIT_VNET_* macros will declare and set up base pointers to be used
by V_ accessor macros, instead of resolving to whitespace:

    INIT_VNET_NET(ifp->if_vnet); becomes

    struct vnet_net *vnet_net = (ifp->if_vnet)->mod_data[VNET_MOD_NET];

3) Memory for vnet modules registered via vnet_mod_register() is now
allocated at run time in sys/kern/kern_vimage.c, instead of per vnet
module structs being declared as globals.  If required, vnet modules
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
extended to hold a pointer to the parent vnet.  options VIMAGE builds
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
variable and make it available in arg1 variable for further processing.

Unused fields in structs vnet_inet, vnet_inet6 and vnet_ipfw have
been deleted.

00b3a1fd4f As with ifnet_byindex_ref(), don't return IFF_DYING interfaces from
ifunit_ref().  ifunit() continues to return them.

471539dc8f Add ifunit_ref(), a version of ifunit(), that returns not just an
interface pointer, but also a reference to it.

Modify ifioctl() to use ifunit_ref(), holding the reference until
all ioctls, etc, have completed.

This closes a class of reader-writer races in which interfaces
could be removed during long-running ioctls, leading to crashes.
Many other consumers of ifunit() should now use ifunit_ref() to
avoid similar races.

ccc05d4c7f During if_detach(), invoke if_dead() to set the ifnet's function
pointers to "dead" implementations that no-op rather than invoking
the device driver.  This would generally be unexpected and
possibly quite badly handled by most device drivers after
if_detach() has completed.

bf5b2167ac Move portions of data structure initialization from if_attach() to
if_alloc(), and portions of data structure destruction from if_detach()
to if_free().  These changes leave more of the struct ifnet in a
safe-to-access condition between alloc and attach, and between detach
and free, and focus on attach/detach as stack usage events rather than
data structure initialization.

Affected fields include the linkstate task queue, if_afdata lock,
address lists, kqueue state, and MAC labels.  ifq_attach() ifq_detach()
are not moved as ifq_attach() may use a queue length set by the device
driver between if_alloc() and if_attach().

c797841f0d Add a new interface flag, IFF_DYING, which is set when a device driver
calls if_free(), and remains set if the refcount is elevated.  IF_DYING
skips the bit in the if_flags bitmask previously used by IFF_NEEDSGIANT,
so that an MFC can be done without changing which bit is used, as
IFF_NEEDSGIANT is still present in 7.x.

ifnet_byindex_ref() checks for IFF_DYING and returns NULL if it is set,
preventing new references from by acquired by index, preventing
monitoring sysctls from seeing it.  Other lookup mechanisms currently
do not check IFF_DYING, but may need to in the future.

6b19bec016 Start to address a number of races relating to use of ifnet pointers
after the corresponding interface has been destroyed:

(1) Add an ifnet refcount, ifp->if_refcount.  Initialize it to 1 in
    if_alloc(), and modify if_free_type() to decrement and check the
    refcount.

(2) Add new if_ref() and if_rele() interfaces to allow kernel code
    walking global interface lists to release IFNET_[RW]LOCK() yet
    keep the ifnet stable.  Currently, if_rele() is a no-op wrapper
    around if_free(), but this may change in the future.

(3) Add new ifnet field, if_alloctype, which caches the type passed
    to if_alloc(), but unlike if_type, won't be changed by drivers.
    This allows asynchronous free's of the interface after the
    driver has released it to still use the right type.  Use that
    instead of the type passed to if_free_type(), but assert that
    they are the same (might have to rethink this if that doesn't
    work out).

(4) Add a new ifnet_byindex_ref(), which looks up an interface by
    index and returns a reference rather than a pointer to it.

(5) Fix if_alloc() to fully initialize the if_addr_mtx before hooking
    up the ifnet to global lists.

(6) Modify sysctls in if_mib.c to use ifnet_byindex_ref() and release
    the ifnet when done.

When this change is MFC'd, it will need to replace if_ispare fields
rather than adding new fields in order to avoid breaking the binary
interface.  Once this change is MFC'd, if_free_type() should be
removed, as its 'type' argument is now optional.

This refcount is not appropriate for counting mbuf pkthdr references,
and also not for counting entry into the device driver via ifnet
function pointers.  An rmlock may be appropriate for the latter.
Rather, this is about ensuring data structure stability when reaching
an ifnet via global ifnet lists and tables followed by copy in or out
of userspace.
