- Updated TOE support in the kernel.
- Stateful TCP offload drivers for Terminator 3 and 4 (T3 and T4) ASICs. These are available as t3_tom and t4_tom modules that augment cxgb(4) and cxgbe(4) respectively. The cxgb/cxgbe drivers continue to work as usual with or without these extra features.
- iWARP driver for Terminator 3 ASIC (kernel verbs). T4 iWARP in the works and will follow soon.
Build-tested with make universe.
30s overview ============ 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

This main goals of this project are: 1. separating L2 tables (ARP, NDP) from the L3 routing tables 2. removing as much locking dependencies among these layers as possible to allow for some parallelism in the search operations 3. simplify the logic in the routing code,
The most notable end result is the obsolescent of the route cloning (RTF_CLONING) concept, which translated into code reduction in both IPv4 ARP and IPv6 NDP related modules, and size reduction in struct rtentry{}. The change in design obsoletes the semantics of RTF_CLONING, RTF_WASCLONE and RTF_LLINFO routing flags. The userland applications such as "arp" and "ndp" have been modified to reflect those changes. The output from "netstat -r" shows only the routing entries.
Quite a few developers have contributed to this project in the past: Glebius Smirnoff, Luigi Rizzo, Alessandro Cerri, and Andre Oppermann. And most recently:
- Kip Macy revised the locking code completely, thus completing the last piece of the puzzle, Kip has also been conducting active functional testing - Sam Leffler has helped me improving/refactoring the code, and provided valuable reviews - Julian Elischer setup the perforce tree for me and has helped me maintaining that branch before the svn conversion
