46  * They are allocated by the kernel and mmap()ed by userspace threads.
47  * Pointers are implemented as memory offsets or indexes,

75  * For each "interface" (NIC, host stack, VALE switch port) attached to a
76  * file descriptor, the mmap()ed region contains a (logically readonly)
77  * struct netmap_if pointing to struct netmap_ring's.
78  * There is one netmap_ring per physical NIC ring, plus one tx/rx ring
79  * pair attached to the host stack (this pair is unused for VALE ports).
80  *
81  * All physical/host stack ports share the same memory region,
82  * so that zero-copy can be implemented between them.
83  * VALE switch ports instead have separate memory regions.
84  *
85  * The netmap_ring is the userspace-visible replica of the NIC ring.
86  * Each slot has the index of a buffer (MTU-sized and residing in the
87  * mmapped region), its length and some flags. An extra 64-bit pointer
88  * is provided for user-supplied buffers in the tx path.
89  *
90  * In user space, the buffer address is computed as
91  *	(char *)ring + buf_ofs + index*NETMAP_BUF_SIZE

158  * At the software level, two fields are important: avail and cur.
159  *
160  * In TX rings:
161  *
162  *	avail	tells how many slots are available for transmission.
163  *		It is updated by the kernel in each netmap system call.
164  *		It MUST BE decremented by the user when it
165  *		adds a new packet to send.
166  *
167  *	cur	indicates the slot to use for the next packet
168  *		to send (i.e. the "tail" of the queue).
169  *		It MUST BE incremented by the user before
170  *		netmap system calls to reflect the number of newly
171  *		sent packets.
172  *		It is checked by the kernel on netmap system calls
173  *		(normally unmodified by the kernel unless invalid).
174  *
175  * In RX rings:
176  *
177  *	avail	is the number of packets available (possibly 0).
178  *		It is updated by the kernel in each netmap system call.
179  *		It MUST BE decremented by the user when it
180  *		consumes a packet.
181  *
182  *	cur	indicates the first slot that contains a packet not
183  *		yet processed (the "head" of the queue).
184  *		It MUST BE incremented by the user when it consumes
185  *		a packet.
186  *
187  *	reserved	indicates the number of buffers before 'cur'
188  *		that the user has not released yet. Normally 0,
189  *		it MUST BE incremented by the user when it
190  *		does not return the buffer immediately, and decremented
191  *		when the buffer is finally freed.

194  * DATA OWNERSHIP/LOCKING:
195  *	The netmap_ring, all slots, and buffers in the range
196  *	[reserved-cur , cur+avail[ are owned by the user program,
197  *	and the kernel only touches them in the same thread context
198  *	during a system call.
199  *	Other buffers are reserved for use by the NIC's DMA engines.
200  *
201  * FLAGS
202  *	NR_TIMESTAMP	updates the 'ts' field on each syscall. This is
203  *			a global timestamp for all packets.
204  *	NR_RX_TSTMP	if set, the last 64 byte in each buffer will
205  *			contain a timestamp for the frame supplied by
206  *			the hardware (if supported)
207  *	NR_FORWARD	if set, the NS_FORWARD flag in each slot of the
208  *			RX ring is checked, and if set the packet is
209  *			passed to the other side (host stack or device,
210  *			respectively). This permits bpf-like behaviour
211  *			or transparency for selected packets.
