Use if_maddr_rlock()/if_maddr_runlock() rather than IF_ADDR_LOCK()/

2009-06-26T11:45:06Z

IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver programming interface or binary interface. For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they don't actually access the multicast address list. Approved by: re (kib) MFC after: 6 weeks

When user_frac in the polling subsystem is low it is going to busy the

CPU for too long period than necessary. Additively, interfaces are kept polled (in the tick) even if no more packets are available. In order to avoid such situations a new generic mechanism can be implemented in proactive way, keeping track of the time spent on any packet and fragmenting the time for any tick, stopping the processing as soon as possible. In order to implement such mechanism, the polling handler needs to change, returning the number of packets processed. While the intended logic is not part of this patch, the polling KPI is broken by this commit, adding an int return value and the new flag IFCAP_POLLING_NOCOUNT (which will signal that the return value is meaningless for the installed handler and checking should be skipped). Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to signal such situation. Reviewed by: emaste Sponsored by: Sandvine Incorporated

Catch up the rest of the drivers with the ether_vlan_mtap modifications.

If these drivers are setting M_VLANTAG because they are stripping the layer 2 802.1Q headers, then they need to be re-inserting them so any bpf(4) peers can properly decode them. It should be noted that this is compiled tested only. MFC after: 3 weeks

Move ethernet VLAN tags from mtags to its own mbuf packet header field

2006-09-17T13:33:30Z

m_pkthdr.ether_vlan. The presence of the M_VLANTAG flag on the mbuf signifies the presence and validity of its content. Drivers that support hardware VLAN tag stripping fill in the received VLAN tag (containing both vlan and priority information) into the ether_vtag mbuf packet header field: m->m_pkthdr.ether_vtag = vlan_id; /* ntohs()? */ m->m_flags |= M_VLANTAG; to mark the packet m with the specified VLAN tag. On output the driver should check the mbuf for the M_VLANTAG flag to see if a VLAN tag is present and valid: if (m->m_flags & M_VLANTAG) { ... = m->m_pkthdr.ether_vtag; /* htons()? */ ... pass tag to hardware ... } VLAN tags are stored in host byte order. Byte swapping may be necessary. (Note: This driver conversion was mechanic and did not add or remove any byte swapping in the drivers.) Remove zone_mtag_vlan UMA zone and MTAG_VLAN definition. No more tag memory allocation have to be done. Reviewed by: thompsa, yar Sponsored by: TCP/IP Optimization Fundraise 2005

IF_LLADDR() works faster, and all (except one) ifaddr_byindex() users were converted to use ifp->if_addr. - Stop storing a (pointer to) Ethernet address in "struct arpcom", and drop the IFP2ENADDR() macro; all users have been converted to use IF_LLADDR() instead.
