threads:
- Support up to one netisr thread per CPU, each processings its own
workstream, or set of per-protocol queues. Threads may be bound
to specific CPUs, or allowed to migrate, based on a global policy.
In the future it would be desirable to support topology-centric
policies, such as "one netisr per package".
- Allow each protocol to advertise an ordering policy, which can
currently be one of:
NETISR_POLICY_SOURCE: packets must maintain ordering with respect to
an implicit or explicit source (such as an interface or socket).
NETISR_POLICY_FLOW: make use of mbuf flow identifiers to place work,
as well as allowing protocols to provide a flow generation function
for mbufs without flow identifers (m2flow). Falls back on
NETISR_POLICY_SOURCE if now flow ID is available.
NETISR_POLICY_CPU: allow protocols to inspect and assign a CPU for
each packet handled by netisr (m2cpuid).
- Provide utility functions for querying the number of workstreams
being used, as well as a mapping function from workstream to CPU ID,
which protocols may use in work placement decisions.
- Add explicit interfaces to get and set per-protocol queue limits, and
get and clear drop counters, which query data or apply changes across
all workstreams.
- Add a more extensible netisr registration interface, in which
protocols declare 'struct netisr_handler' structures for each
registered NETISR_ type. These include name, handler function,
optional mbuf to flow ID function, optional mbuf to CPU ID function,
queue limit, and ordering policy. Padding is present to allow these
to be expanded in the future. If no queue limit is declared, then
a default is used.
- Queue limits are now per-workstream, and raised from the previous
IFQ_MAXLEN default of 50 to 256.
- All protocols are updated to use the new registration interface, and
with the exception of netnatm, default queue limits. Most protocols
register as NETISR_POLICY_SOURCE, except IPv4 and IPv6, which use
NETISR_POLICY_FLOW, and will therefore take advantage of driver-
generated flow IDs if present.
- Formalize a non-packet based interface between interface polling and
the netisr, rather than having polling pretend to be two protocols.
Provide two explicit hooks in the netisr worker for start and end
events for runs: netisr_poll() and netisr_pollmore(), as well as a
function, netisr_sched_poll(), to allow the polling code to schedule
netisr execution. DEVICE_POLLING still embeds single-netisr
assumptions in its implementation, so for now if it is compiled into
the kernel, a single and un-bound netisr thread is enforced
regardless of tunable configuration.
In the default configuration, the new netisr implementation maintains
the same basic assumptions as the previous implementation: a single,
un-bound worker thread processes all deferred work, and direct dispatch
is enabled by default wherever possible.
Performance measurement shows a marginal performance improvement over
the old implementation due to the use of batched dequeue.
An rmlock is used to synchronize use and registration/unregistration
using the framework; currently, synchronized use is disabled
(replicating current netisr policy) due to a measurable 3%-6% hit in
ping-pong micro-benchmarking. It will be enabled once further rmlock
optimization has taken place. However, in practice, netisrs are
rarely registered or unregistered at runtime.
A new man page for netisr will follow, but since one doesn't currently
exist, it hasn't been updated.
This change is not appropriate for MFC, although the polling shutdown
handler should be merged to 7-STABLE.

netisr handlers to always be dispatched via a queue (deferred). Mark the
usb and if_ppp netisr handlers as NETISR_FORCEQUEUE, and explicitly

Previously, any netisr handler not marked NETISR_MPSAFE would necessarily
run deferred and with Giant acquired. This change removes Giant
scaffolding from the netisr infrastructure, but NETISR_FORCEQUEUE allows
non-MPSAFE handlers to continue to force deferred dispatch so as to avoid
lock order reversals between their acqusition of Giant and any calling

other consumer of a socket is closing the socket. pru_abort is now a
notification of close also, and no longer detaches. pru_detach is no
longer used to notify of close, and will be called during socket
tear-down by sofree() when all references to a socket evaporate after
an earlier call to abort or close the socket. This means detach is now
an unconditional teardown of a socket, whereas previously sockets could
persist after detach of the protocol retained a reference.
This faciliates sharing mutexes between layers of the network stack as
the mutex is required during the checking and removal of references at
the head of sofree(). With this change, pru_detach can now assume that
the mutex will no longer be required by the socket layer after
completion, whereas before this was not necessarily true.

(sorele()/sotryfree()):
- This permits the caller to acquire the accept mutex before the socket
mutex, avoiding sofree() having to drop the socket mutex and re-order,
which could lead to races permitting more than one thread to enter
sofree() after a socket is ready to be free'd.
- This also covers clearing of the so_pcb weak socket reference from
the protocol to the socket, preventing races in clearing and
evaluation of the reference such that sofree() might be called more
than once on the same socket.
This appears to close a race I was able to easily trigger by repeatedly
opening and resetting TCP connections to a host, in which the
tcp_close() code called as a result of the RST raced with the close()
of the accepted socket in the user process resulting in simultaneous
attempts to de-allocate the same socket. The new locking increases
the overhead for operations that may potentially free the socket, so we
will want to revise the synchronization strategy here as we normalize
the reference counting model for sockets. The use of the accept mutex
in freeing of sockets that are not listen sockets is primarily
motivated by the potential need to remove the socket from the
incomplete connection queue on its parent (listen) socket, so cleaning
up the reference model here may allow us to substantially weaken the
synchronization requirements.

the MAC label referenced from 'struct socket' in the IPv4 and
IPv6-based protocols. This permits MAC labels to be checked during
network delivery operations without dereferencing inp->inp_socket
to get to so->so_label, which will eventually avoid our having to
grab the socket lock during delivery at the network layer.
This change introduces 'struct inpcb' as a labeled object to the
MAC Framework, along with the normal circus of entry points:
initialization, creation from socket, destruction, as well as a
delivery access control check.
For most policies, the inpcb label will simply be a cache of the
socket label, so a new protocol switch method is introduced,
pr_sosetlabel() to notify protocols that the socket layer label
has been updated so that the cache can be updated while holding
appropriate locks. Most protocols implement this using
pru_sosetlabel_null(), but IPv4/IPv6 protocols using inpcbs use
the the worker function in_pcbsosetlabel(), which calls into the
MAC Framework to perform a cache update.
Biba, LOMAC, and MLS implement these entry points, as do the stub
policy, and test policy.
