Luigi Rizzo f0ea3689a9 This new version of netmap brings you the following:
- netmap pipes, providing bidirectional blocking I/O while moving
  100+ Mpps between processes using shared memory channels
  (no mistake: over one hundred million. But mind you, i said
  *moving* not *processing*);

- kqueue support (BHyVe needs it);

- improved user library. Just the interface name lets you select a NIC,
  host port, VALE switch port, netmap pipe, and individual queues.
  The upcoming netmap-enabled libpcap will use this feature.

- optional extra buffers associated to netmap ports, for applications
  that need to buffer data yet don't want to make copies.

- segmentation offloading for the VALE switch, useful between VMs.

and a number of bug fixes and performance improvements.

My colleagues Giuseppe Lettieri and Vincenzo Maffione did a substantial
amount of work on these features so we owe them a big thanks.

There are some external repositories that can be of interest:

    https://code.google.com/p/netmap
        our public repository for netmap/VALE code, including
        linux versions and other stuff that does not belong here,
        such as python bindings.

    https://code.google.com/p/netmap-libpcap
        a clone of the libpcap repository with netmap support.
	With this any libpcap client has access to most netmap
	feature with no recompilation. E.g. tcpdump can filter
	packets at 10-15 Mpps.

    https://code.google.com/p/netmap-ipfw
        a userspace version of ipfw+dummynet which uses netmap
        to send/receive packets. Speed is up in the 7-10 Mpps
        range per core for simple rulesets.

Both netmap-libpcap and netmap-ipfw will be merged upstream at some
point, but while this happens it is useful to have access to them.

And yes, this code will be merged soon. It is infinitely better
than the version currently in 10 and 9.

* (New) memory allocator for netmap
*/
/*
* This allocator creates three memory pools:
* nm_if_pool for the struct netmap_if
* nm_ring_pool for the struct netmap_ring
* nm_buf_pool for the packet buffers.
*
* that contain netmap objects. Each pool is made of a number of clusters,
* multiple of a page size, each containing an integer number of objects.
* The clusters are contiguous in user space but not in the kernel.
* Only nm_buf_pool needs to be dma-able,
* but for convenience use the same type of allocator for all.
*
* Once mapped, the three pools are exported to userspace
* as a contiguous block, starting from nm_if_pool. Each
* cluster (and pool) is an integral number of pages.
* [ . . . ][ . . . . . .][ . . . . . . . . . .]
* nm_if nm_ring nm_buf
*
* The userspace areas contain offsets of the objects in userspace.
* When (at init time) we write these offsets, we find out the index
* of the object, and from there locate the offset from the beginning
* of the region.
*
* The invididual allocators manage a pool of memory for objects of
* the same size.
* The pool is split into smaller clusters, whose size is a
* multiple of the page size. The cluster size is chosen
* to minimize the waste for a given max cluster size
* (we do it by brute force, as we have relatively few objects
* per cluster).
*
* Objects are aligned to the cache line (64 bytes) rounding up object
* sizes when needed. A bitmap contains the state of each object.
* Allocation scans the bitmap; this is done only on attach, so we are not
* too worried about performance
*
* For each allocator we can define (thorugh sysctl) the size and
* number of each object. Memory is allocated at the first use of a
* netmap file descriptor, and can be freed when all such descriptors
* have been released (including unmapping the memory).
* If memory is scarce, the system tries to get as much as possible
* and the sysctl values reflect the actual allocation.
* Together with desired values, the sysctl export also absolute
* min and maximum values that cannot be overridden.
*
* struct netmap_if:
* variable size, max 16 bytes per ring pair plus some fixed amount.
* 1024 bytes should be large enough in practice.
*
* In the worst case we have one netmap_if per ring in the system.
*
* struct netmap_ring
* variable size, 8 byte per slot plus some fixed amount.
* Rings can be large (e.g. 4k slots, or >32Kbytes).
* We default to 36 KB (9 pages), and a few hundred rings.
*
* struct netmap_buffer
* The more the better, both because fast interfaces tend to have
* many slots, and because we may want to use buffers to store
* packets in userspace avoiding copies.
* Must contain a full frame (eg 1518, or more for vlans, jumbo
* frames etc.) plus be nicely aligned, plus some NICs restrict
* the size to multiple of 1K or so. Default to 2K
