This is useful when dev.netmap.port_numa_affinity is set to 1. When
interfaces attach, they get a memory allocator that is copied from
nm_mem. Parameters in nm_mem can be set using sysctls, but this happens
after their values are copied.
To work around this, we can make it possible to set these memory
parameters as tunables.

Each netmap adapter associated with a physical adapter is attached to a
netmap memory pool. contigmalloc() is used to allocate physically
contiguous memory for the pool, but ideally we would ensure that all
such memory is allocated from the NUMA domain local to the adapter.
Augment netmap's memory pools with a NUMA domain ID, similar to how
IOMMU groups are handled in the Linux port. That is, when attaching to
a physical adapter, ensure that the associated memory pools are local to
the adapter's associated memory domain, creating new pools as needed.
Some types of ifnets do not have any defined NUMA affinity; in this case
the domain ID in question is the sentinel value -1.
Add a sysctl, dev.netmap.port_numa_affinity, which can be used to enable
the new behaviour. Keep it disabled by now to avoid surprises in case
netmap applications are relying on zero-copy optimizations to forward
packets between ports belonging to different NUMA domains.

As of 9e6544dd6e02c46b805d11ab925c4f3b18ad7a4b contigfree(9) is no longer
needed and should not be used anymore. We leave a wrapper for 3rd party
code in at least 15.x but remove (almost) all other cases from the tree.
This leaves one use of contigfree(9) untouched; that was the original
trigger for 9e6544dd6e02 and is handled in D45813 (to be committed
seperately later).

Symptom: when a single extmem memory region is provided to netmap
multiple times, for multiple interfaces, the memory region is
never released by netmap once all the existing file descriptors
are closed.
Fix the relevant condition in netmap_mem_drop(): release the memory
when the last user of netmap_adapter is gone, rather then when
the last user of netmap_mem_d is gone.

This feature enables applications to ask netmap to transmit or
receive packets starting at a user-specified offset from the
beginning of the netmap buffer. This is meant to ease those
packet manipulation operations such as pushing or popping packet
headers, that may be useful to implement software switches,
routers and other packet processors.
To use the feature, drivers (e.g., iflib, vtnet, etc.) must have
explicit support. This change does not add support for any driver,
but introduces the necessary kernel changes. However, offsets support
is already included for VALE ports and pipes.

Some applications forward from/to host rings most or all the
traffic received or sent on a physical interface. In this
cases it is desirable to have more than a pair of RX/TX host
rings, and use multiple threads to speed up forwarding.
This change adds support for multiple host rings. On registering
a netmap port, the user can specify the number of desired receive
and transmit host rings in the nr_host_tx_rings and nr_host_rx_rings
fields of the nmreq_register structure.

Changelist:
- Replace netmap passthrough host support with a more general
mechanism to call TXSYNC/RXSYNC from an in-kernel event-loop.
No kernel threads are used to use this feature: the application
is required to spawn a thread (or a process) and issue a
SYNC_KLOOP_START (NIOCCTRL) command in the thread body. The
kernel loop is executed by the ioctl implementation, which returns
to userspace only when a different thread calls SYNC_KLOOP_STOP
or the netmap file descriptor is closed.
- Update the if_ptnet driver to cope with the new data structures,
and prune all the obsolete ptnetmap code.
- Add support for "null" netmap ports, useful to allocate netmap_if,
netmap_ring and netmap buffers to be used by specialized applications
(e.g. hypervisors). TXSYNC/RXSYNC on these ports have no effect.
- Various fixes and code refactoring.

Changelist:
- Turn tx_rings and rx_rings arrays into arrays of pointers to kring
structs. This patch includes fixes for ixv, ixl, ix, re, cxgbe, iflib,
vtnet and ptnet drivers to cope with the change.
- Generalize the nm_config() callback to accept a struct containing many
parameters.
- Introduce NKR_FAKERING to support buffers sharing (used for netmap
pipes)
- Improved API for external VALE modules.
- Various bug fixes and improvements to the netmap memory allocator,
including support for externally (userspace) allocated memory.
- Refactoring of netmap pipes: now linked rings share the same netmap
buffers, with a separate set of kring pointers (rhead, rcur, rtail).
Buffer swapping does not need to happen anymore.
- Large refactoring of the control API towards an extensible solution;
the goal is to allow the addition of more commands and extension of
existing ones (with new options) without the need of hacks or the
risk of running out of configuration space.
A new NIOCCTRL ioctl has been added to handle all the requests of the
new control API, which cover all the functionalities so far supported.
The netmap API bumps from 11 to 12 with this patch. Full backward
compatibility is provided for the old control command (NIOCREGIF), by
means of a new netmap_legacy module. Many parts of the old netmap.h
header has now been moved to netmap_legacy.h (included by netmap.h).

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

+ fixes on monitor ports
+ the 'ptnet' virtual device driver, and ptnetmap backend, for
high speed virtual passthrough on VMs (bhyve fixes in an upcoming commit)
+ improved emulated netmap mode
+ more robust error handling
+ removal of stale code

Several files use the internal name of `struct device` instead of
`device_t` which is part of the public API. This patch changes all
`struct device *` to `device_t`.
The remaining occurrences of `struct device` are those referring to the
Linux or OpenBSD version of the structure, or the code is not built on
FreeBSD and it's unclear what to do.

This commit contains large contributions from Giuseppe Lettieri and
Stefano Garzarella, is partly supported by grants from Verisign and Cisco,
and brings in the following:
- fix zerocopy monitor ports and introduce copying monitor ports
(the latter are lower performance but give access to all traffic
in parallel with the application)
- exclusive open mode, useful to implement solutions that recover
from crashes of the main netmap client (suggested by Patrick Kelsey)
- revised memory allocator in preparation for the 'passthrough mode'
(ptnetmap) recently presented at bsdcan. ptnetmap is described in
S. Garzarella, G. Lettieri, L. Rizzo;
Virtual device passthrough for high speed VM networking,
ACM/IEEE ANCS 2015, Oakland (CA) May 2015
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/research.html
- fix rx CRC handing on ixl
- add module dependencies for netmap when building drivers as modules
- minor simplifications to device-specific routines (*txsync, *rxsync)
- general code cleanup (remove unused variables, introduce macros
to access rings and remove duplicate code,
Applications do not need to be recompiled, unless of course
they want to use the new features (monitors and exclusive open).
Those willing to try this code on stable/10 can just update the
sys/dev/netmap/*, sys/net/netmap* with the version in HEAD
and apply the small patches to individual device drivers.

was granted via rings and ni_bufs_list_head represented in those rings
and lists (e.g., via SIGKILL), those buffers are no longer available
for subsequent users for the lifetime of the system. To mitigate this
resource leak, reset the allocator state when the last ref to that
allocator is released.
Note that this only recovers leaked resources for an allocator when
there are no longer any users of that allocator, so there remain
circumstances in which leaked allocator resources may not ever be
recovered - consider a set of multiple netmap processes that are all
using the same allocator (say, the global allocator) where members of
that set may be killed and restarted over time but at any given point
there is one member of that set running.

Mostly bugfixes or features developed in the past 6 months,
so this is a 10.1 candidate.
Basically no user API changes (some bugfixes in sys/net/netmap_user.h).
In detail:
1. netmap support for virtio-net, including in netmap mode.
Under bhyve and with a netmap backend [2] we reach over 1Mpps
with standard APIs (e.g. libpcap), and 5-8 Mpps in netmap mode.
2. (kernel) add support for multiple memory allocators, so we can
better partition physical and virtual interfaces giving access
to separate users. The most visible effect is one additional
argument to the various kernel functions to compute buffer
addresses. All netmap-supported drivers are affected, but changes
are mechanical and trivial
3. (kernel) simplify the prototype for *txsync() and *rxsync()
driver methods. All netmap drivers affected, changes mostly mechanical.
4. add support for netmap-monitor ports. Think of it as a mirroring
port on a physical switch: a netmap monitor port replicates traffic
present on the main port. Restrictions apply. Drive carefully.
5. if_lem.c: support for various paravirtualization features,
experimental and disabled by default.
Most of these are described in our ANCS'13 paper [1].
Paravirtualized support in netmap mode is new, and beats the
numbers in the paper by a large factor (under qemu-kvm,
we measured gues-host throughput up to 10-12 Mpps).
A lot of refactoring and additional documentation in the files
in sys/dev/netmap, but apart from #2 and #3 above, almost nothing
of this stuff is visible to other kernel parts.
Example programs in tools/tools/netmap have been updated with bugfixes
and to support more of the existing features.
This is meant to go into 10.1 so we plan an MFC before the Aug.22 deadline.
A lot of this code has been contributed by my colleagues at UNIPI,
including Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, Stefano Garzarella.

- 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.

Most relevant features:
- netmap emulation on any NIC, even those without native netmap support.
On the ixgbe we have measured about 4Mpps/core/queue in this mode,
which is still a lot more than with sockets/bpf.
- seamless interconnection of VALE switch, NICs and host stack.
If you disable accelerations on your NIC (say em0)
ifconfig em0 -txcsum -txcsum
you can use the VALE switch to connect the NIC and the host stack:
vale-ctl -h valeXX:em0
allowing sharing the NIC with other netmap clients.
- THE USER API HAS SLIGHTLY CHANGED (head/cur/tail pointers
instead of pointers/count as before). This was unavoidable to support,
in the future, multiple threads operating on the same rings.
Netmap clients require very small source code changes to compile again.
On the plus side, the new API should be easier to understand
and the internals are a lot simpler.
The manual page has been updated extensively to reflect the current
features and give some examples.
This is the result of work of several people including Giuseppe Lettieri,
Vincenzo Maffione, Michio Honda and myself, and has been financially
supported by EU projects CHANGE and OPENLAB, from NetApp University
Research Fund, NEC, and of course the Universita` di Pisa.

In particular:
- struct netmap_slot now is 16 bytes to support an extra pointer,
which may save one data copy when using VALE ports or VMs;
