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.

According to Darren, the H.323 proxy code is buggy ATM, but is imported

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.

This avoids kernel crashes when we don't handle nonsensial values
like 0 gracefully. Better check here once beforehand than having to
check for non meaningful values in time critical paths (like tcp_output).

historic behavior (up to revision 1.43) was to use 0.0.0.0 as source address,

I followed their example in adding the sysctl variables

Add capabilities bits that indicate an interface can only perform
in-bound TCPv4 or UDPv4 checksums. There is at least one Gig-E chip
for which this is true (Level One LXT-1001), and this is also the
case for the Intel i82559 10/100 Ethernet chips.
all open TCP connections in tcp_slowtimo() (which is called 2x
per second). It's fairly rare for TCP timers to actually fire,
so saving this list traversal is good, especially if you want
to scale to thousands of open connections.
and call it directly from tcp_slowtimo() (via a table) rather
than going through tcp_userreq().
This will allow us to call TCP timers directly from callouts,
in a future revision.
Instead of incrementing t_idle and t_rtt in tcp_slowtimo(), we now
take a timstamp (via tcp_now) and use subtraction to compute the
delta when we actually need it (using unsigned arithmetic so that
tcp_now wrapping is handled correctly).
Based on similar changes in FreeBSD.

- consider non-primary (2nd and beyond) IPv4 address as "local", and prevent
outgoing ARP.
- for routing entries generated by ARP, make sure to set rt->rt_ifa equal to
rt_key, to help IPv4 source address selection for traffic to myself.

caveats/TODOs:
- interface routes ("connected routes" in cisco terminlogy) is tied with the
primary (1st) IPv4 address on the interface. should be fixed with updates
to rt_ifinit().
- source address selection for offlink locations. 1st address tend to be used
with the current code
(you can configure it right by setting rt->rt_ifa accordingly).
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.
There is no place in the source where this bit could ever be set (or I'm
to blind to find it).
This fixes PR 12671.
If someone thinks this is the wrong solution, please make sure to (a) reopen
the PR and (b) explain to me how the tested bits would ever get set. I'll
be glad to then look further for the real cause (i.e. the flags not getting
set in the case described in the PR).

- Don't cast malloc/realloc/calloc return values because they hide LP64 bugs.
- Don't destroy the whole array when realloc fails
- Use calloc in all cases (malloc was used inconsistently).
- Avoid duplicating code.

the current default value is derived from ipv6 counterpart, which is
a magical value "200". it should be enough for normal systems, not sure
if it is enough when you take hundreds of thousands of tcp connections on
your system. if you have proposal for a better value with concrete reasons,
let me know.
