netmap: align codebase to the current upstream (sha 8374e1a7e6941) Changelist: - Move large parts of VALE code to a new file and header netmap_bdg.[ch]. This is useful to reuse the code within upcoming projects. - Improvements and bug fixes to pipes and monitors. - Introduce nm_os_onattach(), nm_os_onenter() and nm_os_onexit() to handle differences between FreeBSD and Linux. - Introduce some new helper functions to handle more host rings and fake rings (netmap_all_rings(), netmap_real_rings(), ...) - Added new sysctl to enable/disable hw checksum in emulated netmap mode. - nm_inject: add support for NS_MOREFRAG Approved by: re (gjb)

netmap: align codebase to the current upstream (commit id 3fb001303718146)

2018-04-12T07:20:50Z

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). Approved by: hrs (mentor)

netmap: align codebase to upstream version v11.4

2018-04-09T09:24:26Z

Changelist: - remove unused nkr_slot_flags - new nm_intr adapter callback to enable/disable interrupts - remove unused sysctls and document the other sysctls - new infrastructure to support NS_MOREFRAG for NIC ports - support for external memory allocator (for now linux-only), including linux-specific changes in common headers - optimizations within netmap pipes datapath - improvements on VALE control API - new nm_parse() helper function in netmap_user.h - various bug fixes and code clean up Approved by: hrs (mentor)

sys/dev: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

2017-11-27T14:52:40Z

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.

Update the current version of netmap to bring it in sync with the github

2017-06-12T22:53:18Z

version. This commit contains mostly refactoring, a few fixes and minor added functionality. Submitted by: Vincenzo Maffione Requested by: many Sponsored by: Rubicon Communications, LLC (Netgate)

remove trailing whitespace. No code changes.

2016-10-18T15:41:57Z

Import the current version of netmap, aligned with the one on github.

2016-10-16T14:13:32Z

This commit, long overdue, contains contributions in the last 2 years from Stefano Garzarella, Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, including: + 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 + various fixes to code and documentation (some mixup between RX and TX parameters, and private and public variables) We also include an additional tool, nmreplay, which is functionally equivalent to tcpreplay but operating on netmap ports.

Sync netmap sources with the version in our private tree.

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.
