=== Multicast routing rework
Contact: Wojciech Macek <wma@semihalf.com>
The Semihalf team has been working on reworking the existing ip_mroute module. The previous implementation was over 20 years old and didn't use modern kernel features.
A complete rework of locking mechanism was done to eliminate taking multiple locks for a single job.
Some portions of code were modified to use lockless constructions, BW-meter API refactored to work in a single context and routing hot path was identified and made to work efficiently.
All these fixes helped achieve over 5x speed boost in multicast routing.
The newly introduced rework includes:
* mroute: fix race condition during mrouter shutting down link:https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=65634ae748e7f6b7b9f11e8838c65060c3f31347[race condition]
* mrouter: do not loopback packets unconditionally link:https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=0b103f72376b5ec7c9a9d574c976e42805ae88a4[loopback]
* ip_mroute: refactor bw_meter API link:https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=741afc6233915ba33156c2221aa80d2dd2b76b9c[bw_meter]
