38 *     Generic Network Interface Controler definition
39 *
40 * This device provides access to a generic Gigabit Ethernet network controler.
41 * It assumes that the NIC hardware peripheral handles two packets queues for sent (TX)
42 * and received (RX) packets.
43 *
44 * The supported protocols stack is : Ethernet / IPV4 / TCP or UDP
45 *
46 * 1) hardware assumptions
47 *
48 * The NIC device is handling two (infinite) streams of packets to or from the network.
49 * It is the driver responsibility to move the RX packets from the NIC to the RX queue,
50 * and the TX packets from the TX queue to the NIC.
51 *
52 * AS the RX and TX queues are independant, there is one NIC_RX device descriptor
53 * to handle RX packets, and another NIC_TX device descriptor to handle TX packets.
54 *
55 * In order to improve throughput, the NIC controller can implement multiple (N) channels.
56 * In this case, the channel index is defined by an hash function computed from the remote
57 * IP address and port. This index is computed by the hardware for an RX packet, and is
58 * computed by the kernel for a TX packet, using a specific driver function. TODO ...
59 * The 2*N chdevs, and the associated server threads implementing the protocols stack,
60 * are distributed in 2*N different clusters.
61 *
62 * 2) User API
63 *
64 * On the user side, ALMOS-MKH implements the POSIX socket API.
65 * The kernel functions implementing the socket related syscalls are :
66 * - dev_nic_socket()    : create a local socket registered in process fd_array[].
67 * - dev_nic_bind()      : attach a local IP address and port to a local socket.
68 * - dev_nic_listen()    : local server makes a passive open.
69 * - dev_nic_connect()   : local client makes an active open to a remote server.
70 * - dev_nic_accept()    : local server accept a new remote client.
71 * - dev_nic_send()      : send data on a connected socket.
72 * - dev_nic_recv()      : receive data on a connected socket.
73 * - dev_nic_sendto()    : send a packet to a remote (IP address/port).
74 * - dev_nic_recvfrom()  : receive a paket from a remote (IP address/port).
75 * - dev_nic_close()     : close a socket
76 *
77 * 3) TX stream
78 *
79 * The internal API between the client threads and the TX server thread defines
80 * the 3 following commands:
81 *   . SOCKET_TX_CONNECT : request to execute the 3 steps TCP connection handshake.
82 *   . SOCKET_TX_SEND    : send data to a remote socket (UDP or TCP).
83 *   . SOCKET_TX_CLOSE   : request to execute the 3 steps TCP close handshake.
84 *
85 * - These 3 commands are blocking for the client thread that registers the command in the
86 *   socket descriptor, blocks on the BLOCKED_IO condition, and deschedules.
87 * - The TX server thread is acting as a multiplexer. It scans the list of attached sockets,
88 *   to handle all valid commands: one UDP packet or TCP segment per iteration.
89 *   It uses the user buffer defined by the client thread, and attached to socket descriptor,
90 *   as a retransmission buffer. It blocks and deschedules on the BLOCKED_CLIENT condition,
91 *   when there is no more active TX command registered in any socket. It is re-activated
92 *   by the first client thread registering a new TX command in the socket descriptor.
93 *   It unblocks a client thread only when a command is fully completed. It signals errors
94 *   to the client thread using the tx_error field in socket descriptor.
95 *
96 * 4) RX stream
97 *
98 * The communication between the RX server thread and the client threads expecting data
99 * is done through receive buffers (one private buffer per socket) that are handled
100 * as single-writer / single reader-FIFOs, called rx_buf.
101 * - The RX server thread is acting as a demultiplexor: it handle one TCP segment or UDP
102 *   packet per iteration, and register the data in the rx_buf of the socket matching
103 *   the packet. It simply discard all packets that does not match a registered socket.
104 *   When a client thread is registered in the socket descriptor, the RX server thread
105 *   unblocks this client thread as soon as there is data available in rx_buf.
106 *   It blocks and deschedules on the BLOCKED_ISR condition when there is no more packets
107 *   in the NIC_RX queue. It is unblocked by the hardware ISR.
108 * - The client thread simply access the rx_buf attached to socket descriptor, and consumes
109 *   the available data when the rx_buf is non empty. It blocks on the BLOCKED_IO condition,
110 *   and deschedules when the rx_buf is empty.
111 *
112 * 5) R2T queue
113 *
114 * To implement the TCP "3 steps handshake" protocol, the RX server thread can directly
115 * request the associated TX server thread to send control packets in  the TX stream,
116 * using a dedicate R2T (RX to TX) FIFO stored in the socket descriptor.
117 *
118 * 6) NIC driver API
119 *
120 * The generic NIC device "driver" API defines the following commands to the NIC driver:
121 * - READABLE : returns true if at least one RX paquet is available in RX queue.
122 * - WRITABLE : returns true if at least one empty slot is available in TX queue.
123 * - READ     : consume one packet from the RX queue.
124 * - WRITE    : produce one packet to the TX queue.
125 * All RX or TX paquets are sent or received in standard 2 Kbytes kernel buffers,
126 * that are dynamically allocated by the protocols stack.
127 *
128 * The actual TX an RX queues structures depends on the hardware NIC implementation,
129 * and are defined in the HAL specific driver code.
130 *
131 * WARNING: the WTI mailboxes used by the driver ro receive events from the hardware
132 * (available RX packet, or available free TX slot, for a given channel), must be
133 * statically allocated during the kernel initialisation phase, and must be
134 * routed to the cluster containing the associated TX/RX chdev and server thread.

231/*****************************************************************************************
232 * This structure defines a socket descriptor. In order to parallelize the transfers,
233 * the set of all registered sockets is split in several subsets.
234 * The number of subsets is the number of  NIC channels.
235 * The distribution key is computed from the (remote_addr/remote_port) couple.
236 * This computation is done by the NIC hardware for RX packets,
237 * and by the dev_nic_connect() function for the TX packets.
238 *
239 * A socket is attached to the NIC_TX[channel] & NIC_RX[channel] chdevs.
240 * Each socket descriptor allows the TX and TX server threads to access various buffers:
241 * - the user "send" buffer contains the data to be send by the TX server thread.
242 * - the kernel "receive" buffer contains the data received by the RX server thread.
243 * - the kernel "r2t" buffer allows the RX server thread to make direct requests
244 *   to the associated TX server (to implement the TCP 3 steps handshake).
245 *
246 * The synchronisation mechanism between the clients threads and the servers threads
247 * is different for TX and RX transfers:
248 *
249 * 1) For a TX transfer, it can exist only one client thread for a given socket,
250 *    the transfer is always initiated by the local process, and all TX commands
251 *    (CONNECT/SEND/CLOSE) are blocking for the client thread. The user buffer is
252 *    used by TCP to handle retransmissions when required.in case of re
253 *    The client thread registers the command in the thread descriptor, registers itself
254 *    in the socket descriptor, unblocks the TX server thread from the BLOCKED_CLIENT
255 *    condition, blocks itself on the BLOCKED_IO condition, and deschedules.
256 *    When the command is completed, the TX server thread unblocks the client thread.
257 *    The TX server blocks itself on the BLOCKED_CLIENT condition, when there is no
258 *    pending commands and the R2T queue is empty. It is unblocked when a client
259 *    register a new command, or when the TX server thread register a mew request
260 *    in the R2T queue.
261 *    The tx_valid flip-flop is SET by the client thread to signal a valid command.
262 *    It is RESET by the server thread when the command is completed: For a SEND,
263 *    all bytes have been sent (UDP) or acknowledged (TCP).
264 *
265 * 2) For an RX transfer, it can exist only one client thread for a given socket,
266 *    but the transfer is initiated by the remote process, and the  RECV command
267 *    is not really blocking: the data can arrive before the local RECV command is
268 *    executed, and the server thread does not wait to receive all requested data
269 *    to deliver data to client thread. Therefore each socket contains a receive
270 *    buffer (rx_buf) handled as a single-writer/single-reader fifo.
271 *    The client thread consumes data from the rx_buf when possible. It blocks on the
272 *    BLOCKED_IO condition and deschedules when the rx_buf is empty.
273 *    It is unblocked by the RX server thread when new data is available in the rx_buf.
274 *    The RX server blocks itself on the BLOCKED_ISR condition When the NIC_RX packets
275 *    queue is empty. It is unblocked by the hardware when new packets are available.
