# 300113 18-May-2016 scottl

Import the 'iflib' API library for network drivers. From the author:

"iflib is a library to eliminate the need for frequently duplicated device
independent logic propagated (poorly) across many network drivers."

Participation is purely optional. The IFLIB kernel config option is
provided for drivers that want to transition between legacy and iflib
modes of operation. ixl and ixgbe driver conversions will be committed
shortly. We hope to see participation from the Broadcom and maybe
Chelsio drivers in the near future.

# 297298 26-Mar-2016 np

Plug leak in m_unshare.

m_unshare passes on the source mbuf's flags as-is to m_getcl and this
results in a leak if the flags include M_NOFREE. The fix is to clear
the bits not listed in M_COPYALL before calling m_getcl. M_RDONLY
should probably be filtered out too but that's outside the scope of this
fix.

Add assertions in the zone_mbuf and zone_pack ctors to catch similar
bugs.

Update netmap_get_mbuf to not pass M_NOFREE to m_getcl. It's not clear
what the original code was trying to do but it's likely incorrect.
Updated code is no different functionally but it avoids the newly added
assertions.

Space and style(9) corrections for recent mbuf changes.


# 297188 22-Mar-2016 gnn

Add an mbuf provider to DTrace.

The mbuf provider is made up of a set of Statically Defined Tracepoints
which help us look into mbufs as they are allocated and freed. This can be
used to inspect the buffers or for a simplified mbuf leak detector.

New tracepoints are:

mbuf:::m-init
mbuf:::m-gethdr
mbuf:::m-get
mbuf:::m-getcl
mbuf:::m-clget
mbuf:::m-cljget
mbuf:::m-cljset
mbuf:::m-free
mbuf:::m-freem

There is also a translator for mbufs which gives some visibility into the structure,
see mbuf.d for more details.

# 296292 02-Mar-2016 glebius

Fix regression in r296242 affecting several drivers. For EXT_NET_DRV,
EXT_MOD_TYPE, EXT_DISPOSABLE types we should first execute the free
callback, then free the mbuf, otherwise we will derefernce memory that
was just freed.

Reported and tested: jhibbits


# 296242 29-Feb-2016 glebius

New way to manage reference counting of mbuf external storage.

The m_ext.ext_cnt pointer becomes a union. It can now hold the refcount
value itself. To tell that m_ext.ext_flags flag EXT_FLAG_EMBREF is used.
The first mbuf to attach a cluster stores the refcount. The further mbufs
to reference the cluster point at refcount in the first mbuf. The first
mbuf is freed only when the last reference is freed.

The benefit over refcounts stored in separate slabs is that now refcounts
of different, unrelated mbufs do not share a cache line.

For EXT_EXTREF mbufs the zone_ext_refcnt is no longer needed, and m_extadd()
becomes void, making widely used M_EXTADD macro safe.

For EXT_SFBUF mbufs the sf_ext_ref() is removed, which was an optimization
exactly against the cache aliasing problem with regular refcounting.

# 295547 11-Feb-2016 glebius

o Gather all mbuf(9) allocation functions into kern_mbuf.c, and all
mbuf(9) manipulation functions into uipc_mbuf.c. This looks like
the initial intent, but had diffused in the last decade.

o Gather all declarations in mbuf.h in one place and sort them.

o Uninline m_clget() and m_cljget().

There are no functional changes in this patch.

The patch comes from a larger version, where all mbuf(9) allocation was
uninlined, which allowed to make mbuf(9) UMA zones private to kern_mbuf.c.
The performance impact of the total uninlining is still unclear, so we
are holding on now with larger version.

Move uma_dbg_alloc() and uma_dbg_free() into uma_core.c, which allows

uma_int.h from the mbuf(9) allocator.


# 292484 20-Dec-2015 jtl

Add a safety net to reclaim mbufs when one of the mbuf zones become
exhausted.

It is possible for a bug in the code (or, theoretically, even unusual
network conditions) to exhaust all possible mbufs or mbuf clusters.
When this occurs, things can grind to a halt fairly quickly. However,
we currently do not call mb_reclaim() unless the entire system is
experiencing a low-memory condition.

While it is best to try to prevent exhaustion of one of the mbuf zones,
it would also be useful to have a mechanism to attempt to recover from
these situations by freeing "expendable" mbufs.

This patch makes two changes:

a) The patch adds a generic API to the UMA zone allocator to set a
function that should be called when an allocation fails because the
zone limit has been reached. Because of the way this function can be
called, it really should do minimal work.

b) The patch uses this API to try to free mbufs when an allocation
fails from one of the mbuf zones because the zone limit has been
reached. The function schedules a callout to run mb_reclaim().

Fix integer truncation bug in malloc(9)

A couple of internal functions used by malloc(9) and uma truncated
a size_t down to an int. This could cause any number of issues
(e.g. indefinite sleeps, memory corruption) if any kernel
subsystem tried to allocate 2GB or more through malloc. zfs would

# 268535 11-Jul-2014 glebius

Improve reference counting of EXT_SFBUF pages attached to mbufs.

o Do not use UMA refcount zone. The problem with this zone is that
several refcounting words (16 on amd64) share the same cache line,
and issueing atomic(9) updates on them creates cache line contention.
Also, allocating and freeing them is extra CPU cycles.
Instead, refcount the page directly via vm_page_wire() and the sfbuf
via sf_buf_alloc(sf_buf_page(sf)) [1].

o Call refcounting/freeing function for EXT_SFBUF via direct function
call, instead of function pointer. This removes barrier for CPU
branch predictor.

o Do not cleanup the mbuf to be freed in mb_free_ext(), merely to
satisfy assertion in mb_dtor_mbuf(). Remove the assertion from
mb_dtor_mbuf(). Use bcopy() instead of manual assignments to
copy m_ext in mb_dupcl().

[1] This has some problems for now. Using sf_buf_alloc() merely to
increase refcount is expensive, and is broken on sparc64. To be
fixed.

# 267961 27-Jun-2014 hselasky

Extend the meaning of the CTLFLAG_TUN flag to automatically check if
there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.

Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

# 254804 24-Aug-2013 andre

Restructure the mbuf pkthdr to make it fit for upcoming capabilities and
features. The changes in particular are:

o Remove rarely used "header" pointer and replace it with a 64bit protocol/
layer specific union PH_loc for local use. Protocols can flexibly overlay
their own 8 to 64 bit fields to store information while the packet is
worked on.

o Mechanically convert IP reassembly, IGMP/MLD and ATM to use pkthdr.PH_loc
instead of pkthdr.header.

o Extend csum_flags to 64bits to allow for additional future offload
information to be carried (e.g. iSCSI, IPsec offload, and others).

o Move the RSS hash type enumerator from abusing m_flags to its own 8bit
rsstype field. Adjust accessor macros.

o Add cosqos field to store Class of Service / Quality of Service information
with the packet. It is not yet supported in any drivers but allows us to
get on par with Cisco/Juniper in routing applications (plus MPLS QoS) with
a modernized ALTQ.

o Add four 8 bit fields l[2-5]hlen to store the relative header offsets
from the start of the packet. This is important for various offload
capabilities and to relieve the drivers from having to parse the packet
and protocol headers to find out location of checksums and other
information. Header parsing in drivers is a lot of copy-paste and
unhandled corner cases which we want to avoid.

o Add another flexible 64bit union to map various additional persistent
packet information, like ether_vtag, tso_segsz and csum fields.
Depending on the csum_flags settings some fields may have different usage
making it very flexible and adaptable to future capabilities.

o Restructure the CSUM flags to better signify their outbound (down the
stack) and inbound (up the stack) use. The CSUM flags used to be a bit
chaotic and rather poorly documented leading to incorrect use in many
places. Bring clarity into their use through better naming.
Compatibility mappings are provided to preserve the API. The drivers
can be corrected one by one and MFC'd without issue.

o The size of pkthdr stays the same at 48/56bytes (32/64bit architectures).

Initialising the new fibnum field to a known value turns out to
be a GOOD IDEA (TM).
Apparently MOST users set this (e.g. tcp and friends) but there are a few
users that just assume that it is a sensible value but then go on to read it.
These include SCTP, pf and the FLOWTABLE option (and maybe others).


# 249843 24-Apr-2013 andre

Base the calculation of maxmbufmem in part on kmem_map size
instead of kernel_map size to prevent kernel memory exhaustion
by mbufs and a subsequent panic on physical page allocation
failure.

On architectures without a direct map all mbuf memory (except
for jumbo mbufs larger than PAGE_SIZE) comes from kmem_map.
It is the limiting factor hence.

For architectures with a direct map using the size of kmem_map
is a good proxy of available kernel memory as well. If it is
much smaller the mbuf limit may be sub-optimal but remains
reasonable, while avoiding panics under exhaustion.

The overall mbuf memory limit calculation may be reconsidered
again later, however due to the many different mbuf sizes and
different backing KVM maps it is a tricky subject.

# 243631 27-Nov-2012 andre

Base the mbuf related limits on the available physical memory or
kernel memory, whichever is lower. The overall mbuf related memory
limit must be set so that mbufs (and clusters of various sizes)
can't exhaust physical RAM or KVM.

The limit is set to half of the physical RAM or KVM (whichever is
lower) as the baseline. In any normal scenario we want to leave
at least half of the physmem/kvm for other kernel functions and
userspace to prevent it from swapping too easily. Via a tunable
kern.maxmbufmem the limit can be upped to at most 3/4 of physmem/kvm.

At the same time divorce maxfiles from maxusers and set maxfiles to
physpages / 8 with a floor based on maxusers. This way busy servers
can make use of the significantly increased mbuf limits with a much
larger number of open sockets.

Tidy up ordering in init_param2() and check up on some users of
those values calculated here.

Out of the overall mbuf memory limit 2K clusters and 4K (page size)
clusters to get 1/4 each because these are the most heavily used mbuf
sizes. 2K clusters are used for MTU 1500 ethernet inbound packets.
4K clusters are used whenever possible for sends on sockets and thus
outbound packets. The larger cluster sizes of 9K and 16K are limited
to 1/6 of the overall mbuf memory limit. When jumbo MTU's are used
these large clusters will end up only on the inbound path. They are
not used on outbound, there it's still 4K. Yes, that will stay that
way because otherwise we run into lots of complications in the
stack. And it really isn't a problem, so don't make a scene.

Normal mbufs (256B) weren't limited at all previously. This was
problematic as there are certain places in the kernel that on
allocation failure of clusters try to piece together their packet
from smaller mbufs.

The mbuf limit is the number of all other mbuf sizes together plus
some more to allow for standalone mbufs (ACK for example) and to
send off a copy of a cluster. Unfortunately there isn't a way to
set an overall limit for all mbuf memory together as UMA doesn't
support such a limiting.

NB: Every cluster also has an mbuf associated with it.

Two examples on the revised mbuf sizing limits:

1GB KVM:
512MB limit for mbufs
419,430 mbufs
65,536 2K mbuf clusters
32,768 4K mbuf clusters
9,709 9K mbuf clusters
5,461 16K mbuf clusters

16GB RAM:
8GB limit for mbufs
33,554,432 mbufs
1,048,576 2K mbuf clusters
524,288 4K mbuf clusters
155,344 9K mbuf clusters
87,381 16K mbuf clusters

These defaults should be sufficient for even the most demanding
network loads.

Allow maxusers to scale on machines with large address space.

Some hooks are added to clamp down maxusers and nmbclusters for

VM_MAX_AUTOTUNE_MAXUSERS - the max maxusers that will be autotuned based on
physical memory.
VM_MAX_AUTOTUNE_NMBCLUSTERS - max nmbclusters based on physical memory.

These are set to the old values on i386 to preserve the clamping that was

# 195649 12-Jul-2009 alc

Add support to the virtual memory system for configuring machine-
dependent memory attributes:

Rename vm_cache_mode_t to vm_memattr_t. The new name reflects the
fact that there are machine-dependent memory attributes that have
nothing to do with controlling the cache's behavior.

Introduce vm_object_set_memattr() for setting the default memory
attributes that will be given to an object's pages.

Introduce and use pmap_page_{get,set}_memattr() for getting and
setting a page's machine-dependent memory attributes. Add full
support for these functions on amd64 and i386 and stubs for them on
the other architectures. The function pmap_page_set_memattr() is also
responsible for any other machine-dependent aspects of changing a
page's memory attributes, such as flushing the cache or updating the
direct map. The uses include kmem_alloc_contig(), vm_page_alloc(),
and the device pager:

kmem_alloc_contig() can now be used to allocate kernel memory with
non-default memory attributes on amd64 and i386.

vm_page_alloc() and the device pager will set the memory attributes
for the real or fictitious page according to the object's default
memory attributes.

Update the various pmap functions on amd64 and i386 that map pages to
incorporate each page's memory attributes in the mapping.

Notes: (1) Inherent to this design are safety features that prevent
the specification of inconsistent memory attributes by different
mappings on amd64 and i386. In addition, the device pager provides a
warning when a device driver creates a fictitious page with memory
attributes that are inconsistent with the real page that the
fictitious page is an alias for. (2) Storing the machine-dependent
memory attributes for amd64 and i386 as a dedicated "int" in "struct
md_page" represents a compromise between space efficiency and the ease
of MFCing these changes to RELENG_7.

Utilize the new function kmem_alloc_contig() to implement the UMA back-end
allocator for the jumbo frames zones. This change has two benefits: (1) a
custom back-end deallocator is no longer required. UMA's standard
deallocator suffices. (2) It eliminates a potentially confusing artifact
of using contigmalloc(): The malloc(9) statistics contain bogus information
about the usage of jumbo frames. Specifically, the malloc(9) statistics
report all jumbo frames in use whereas the UMA zone statistics report the
"truth" about the number in use vs. the number free.

Reintroduce UMA_SLAB_KMAP; however, change its spelling to
UMA_SLAB_KERNEL for consistency with its sibling UMA_SLAB_KMEM.
(UMA_SLAB_KMAP met its original demise in revision 1.30 of
vm/uma_core.c.) UMA_SLAB_KERNEL is now required by the jumbo frame
allocators. Without it, UMA cannot correctly return pages from the
jumbo frame zones to the VM system because it resets the pages' object
field to NULL instead of the kernel object. In more detail, the jumbo
frame zones are created with the option UMA_ZONE_REFCNT. This causes
UMA to overwrite the pages' object field with the address of the slab.
However, when UMA wants to release these pages, it doesn't know how to
restore the object field, so it sets it to NULL. This change teaches
UMA how to reset the object field to the kernel object.

# 172463 06-Oct-2007 kmacy

This patch adds an M_NOFREE flag which allows one to mark an mbuf as
not being independently freeable. This allows one to embed an mbuf in
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.

Merge the //depot/user/yar/vlan branch into CVS. It contains some collective
work by yar, thompsa and myself. The checksum offloading part also involves
work done by Mihail Balikov.

The most important changes:

o Instead of global linked list of all vlan softc use a per-trunk
hash. The size of hash is dynamically adjusted, depending on
number of entries. This changes struct ifnet, replacing counter
of vlans with a pointer to trunk structure. This change is an
improvement for setups with big number of VLANs, several interfaces
and several CPUs. It is a small regression for a setup with a single
VLAN interface.
An alternative to dynamic hash is a per-trunk static array with
4096 entries, which is a compile time option - VLAN_ARRAY. In my
experiments the array is not an improvement, probably because such
a big trunk structure doesn't fit into CPU cache.
o Introduce an UMA zone for VLAN tags. Since drivers depend on it,
the zone is declared in kern_mbuf.c, not in optional vlan(4) driver.
This change is a big improvement for any setup utilizing vlan(4).
o Use rwlock(9) instead of mutex(9) for locking. We are the first
ones to do this! :)
o Some drivers can do hardware VLAN tagging + hardware checksum
offloading. Add an infrastructure for this. Whenever vlan(4) is
attached to a parent or parent configuration is changed, the flags
on vlan(4) interface are updated.

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

Mandatory mbuf cluster reference counting and groundwork for UMA

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.

Optimize the way reference counting is performed with Mbufs. We
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.

# 129906 31-May-2004 bmilekic

Bring in mbuma to replace mballoc.

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:

Please read the paper for Future Work and implementation
details, as well as credits.
