Add optimizing LRO wrapper:
- Add optimizing LRO wrapper which pre-sorts all incoming packets
according to the hash type and flowid. This prevents exhaustion of
the LRO entries due to too many connections at the same time.
Testing using a larger number of higher bandwidth TCP connections
showed that the incoming ACK packet aggregation rate increased from
~1.3:1 to almost 3:1. Another test showed that for a number of TCP
connections greater than 16 per hardware receive ring, where 8 TCP
connections was the LRO active entry limit, there was a significant
improvement in throughput due to being able to fully aggregate more
than 8 TCP stream. For very few very high bandwidth TCP streams, the
optimizing LRO wrapper will add CPU usage instead of reducing CPU
usage. This is expected. Network drivers which want to use the
optimizing LRO wrapper needs to call "tcp_lro_queue_mbuf()" instead
of "tcp_lro_rx()" and "tcp_lro_flush_all()" instead of
"tcp_lro_flush()". Further the LRO control structure must be
initialized using "tcp_lro_init_args()" passing a non-zero number
into the "lro_mbufs" argument.
- Make LRO statistics 64-bit. Previously 32-bit integers were used for
statistics which can be prone to wrap-around. Fix this while at it
and update all SYSCTL's which expose LRO statistics.
- Ensure all data is freed when destroying a LRO control structures,
especially leftover LRO entries.
- Reduce number of memory allocations needed when setting up a LRO
control structure by precomputing the total amount of memory needed.
- Add own memory allocation counter for LRO.
- Bump the FreeBSD version to force recompilation of all KLDs due to
change of the LRO control structure size.
