rS360345: bridge: epoch-ification

Summary

Run the bridge datapath under epoch, rather than under the
BRIDGE_LOCK().

We still take the BRIDGE_LOCK() whenever we insert or delete items in
the relevant lists, but we use epoch callbacks to free items so that
it's safe to iterate the lists without the BRIDGE_LOCK.

Tests on mercat5/6 shows this increases bridge throughput significantly,
from 3.7Mpps to 18.6Mpps.

Additional assertions & fix a possible memory leak on bridge destruction

Barring objections I plan to commit this by next Saturday (April 25th).

I thought I had accepted this latest revision. Sorry about that.

These changes look good.

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.Apr 17 2020, 1:58 AM

I intend to look this over today.

sys/net/if_bridge.c
240	Extra blank lines (here and elsewhere)?
607	non-style(9) comment, but maybe can shorten it to just e.g. "callbacks may be using the UMA zone"?
778	hrmph

LGTM

sys/net/if_bridge.c
202	Are `BRIDGE_LOCK2REF`/ `BRIDGE_UNREF` still needed?

Whitespace & commit remarks
Remove BRIDGE_LOCK2REF/BRIDGE_UNREF As a result BRIDGE_XLOCK, BRIDGE_XDROP and the condition variable are also not required any more. These were used to ensure that member interfaces could not dissapear during processing. That's now provided by epoch, so the entire structure is not needed any more.

When we wait for callbacks to finish before destroying the V_bridge_rtnode_zone
we need to use epoch_drain_callbacks(), not NET_EPOCH_WAIT().

Looks good to me!

sys/net/if_bridge.c
778	Yeah. I don't really like the `__containerof()` either. It's the very definition of a layering violation. However, I don't think there's a way around it without substantially rewriting if_bridge. Perhaps we can make this look a little less unsightly with a macro?

sys/net/if_bridge.c
778	It's how every NET_EPOCH_CALL user in the kernel does it. We could extend struct epoch_context with a void* to pass this sort of thing, but it'd mean that struct bridge_softc would contain a struct epoch_context, which in turn would have a pointer to the struct bridge_softc. That's possible, but it's an extra step we could make mistakes in. We could also wrap it in a macro, but all that'd do is hide what's going on, and we'd still have to pass all of the same arguments, or have different macros for the different structures we use this for.
