initialized. Update the txp(4) to compensate.
- Statically initialize the TCP timer callout handles in the tcpcb
template. We still use callout_setfunc(), but that call is now much
less expensive. Add a comment that the compiler is likely to unroll
the loop (so don't sweat that it's there).
individually, create a tcpcb template pre-initialized (and pre-zero'd)
with the static and mostly-static tcpcb parameters. The template is
now copied into the new tcpcb, which zeros and initializes most of the
tcpcb in one pass. The template is kept up-to-date as TCP sysctl
variables are changed.
Combined with the previous sb_max change, TCP socket creation is now
25% faster.

configured with ``options FAST_IPSEC''. Kernels with KAME IPsec or
with no IPsec should work as before.
All calls to ip_output() now always pass an additional compulsory
argument: the inpcb associated with the packet being sent,
or 0 if no inpcb is available.
Fast-ipsec tested with ICMP or UDP over ESP. TCP doesn't work, yet.
cooperating with the callout code in working around the race
condition caused by the TCP code's use of the callout facility.
Instead of unconditionally releasing memory in tcp_close() and
SYN_CACHE_PUT(), check whether any of the related callout handlers
are about to be invoked (but have not yet done callout_ack()), and
if so, just mark the associated data structure (tcpcb or syn cache
entry) as "dead", and test for this (and release storage) in the
callout handler functions.
sent from. This change avoid a linear search through all mbufs when using
large TCP windows, and therefore permit high-speed connections on long
distances.
Tested on a 1 Gigabit connection between Luleå and San Francisco, a distance
of about 15000km. With TCP windows of just over 20 Mbytes it could keep up
with 950Mbit/s.

Do a little mbuf rework while here. Change all uses of MGET*(*, M_WAIT, *)
to m_get*(M_WAIT, *). These are not performance critical and making them
call m_get saves considerable space. Add m_clget analogue of MCLGET and
make corresponding change for M_WAIT uses.
Modify netinet, gem, fxp, tulip, nfs to support MBUFTRACE.
Begin to change netstat to use sysctl.

benefit currently). Rework tcp_reass code to optimize the 4 most likely causes
of out-of-order packets: first OoO pkt, next OoO pkt in seq, OoO pkt is part
of new chuck of OoO packets, and the OoO pkt fills the first hole. Add evcnts
to instrument tcp_reass (enabled by the options TCP_REASS_COUNTERS). This is
part 1/2 of tcp_reass changes.
* Remove the code that allocates a cluster if the packet would
fit in one; it totally defeats doing references to M_EXT mbufs
in the socket buffer. This drastically reduces the number of
data copies in the tcp_output() path for applications which use
large writes. Kudos to Matt Thomas for pointing me in the right
direction.
deal with shortages of the VM maps where the backing pages are mapped
(usually kmem_map). Try to deal with this:
* Group all information about the backend allocator for a pool in a
separate structure. The pool references this structure, rather than
the individual fields.
* Change the pool_init() API accordingly, and adjust all callers.
* Link all pools using the same backend allocator on a list.
* The backend allocator is responsible for waiting for physical memory
to become available, but will still fail if it cannot callocate KVA
space for the pages. If this happens, carefully drain all pools using
the same backend allocator, so that some KVA space can be freed.
* Change pool_reclaim() to indicate if it actually succeeded in freeing
some pages, and use that information to make draining easier and more
efficient.
* Get rid of PR_URGENT. There was only one use of it, and it could be
dealt with by the caller.

so saving this list traversal is good, especially if you want
to scale to thousands of open connections.
network interfaces. This works by pre-computing the pseudo-header
checksum and caching it, delaying the actual checksum to ip_output()
if the hardware cannot perform the sum for us. In-bound checksums
can either be fully-checked by hardware, or summed up for final
verification by software. This method was modeled after how this
is done in FreeBSD, although the code is significantly different in
most places.
We don't delay checksums for IPv6/TCP, but we do take advantage of the
cached pseudo-header checksum.
Note: hardware-assisted checksumming defaults to "off". It is
enabled with ifconfig(8). See the manual page for details.
Implement hardware-assisted checksumming on the DP83820 Gigabit Ethernet,
3c90xB/3c90xC 10/100 Ethernet, and Alteon Tigon/Tigon2 Gigabit Ethernet.
