 * --- Netmap data structures ---
 *
 * The userspace data structures used by netmap are shown below.
 * They are allocated by the kernel and mmap()ed by userspace threads.
 * Pointers are implemented as memory offsets or indexes,
 * so that they can be easily dereferenced in kernel and userspace.

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

/*
 * struct netmap_ring
 *
 * Netmap representation of a TX or RX ring (also known as "queue").
 * This is a queue implemented as a fixed-size circular array.
 * At the software level, two fields are important: avail and cur.
 *
 * In TX rings:
 *
 *	avail	tells how many slots are available for transmission.
 *		It is updated by the kernel in each netmap system call.
 *		It MUST BE decremented by the user when it
 *		adds a new packet to send.
 *
 *	cur	indicates the slot to use for the next packet
 *		to send (i.e. the "tail" of the queue).
 *		It MUST BE incremented by the user before
 *		netmap system calls to reflect the number of newly
 *		sent packets.
 *		It is checked by the kernel on netmap system calls
 *		(normally unmodified by the kernel unless invalid).
 *
 * In RX rings:
 *
 *	avail	is the number of packets available (possibly 0).
 *		It is updated by the kernel in each netmap system call.
 *		It MUST BE decremented by the user when it
 *		consumes a packet.
 *
 *	cur	indicates the first slot that contains a packet not
 *		yet processed (the "head" of the queue).
 *		It MUST BE incremented by the user when it consumes
 *		a packet.
 *
 *	reserved	indicates the number of buffers before 'cur'
 *		that the user has not released yet. Normally 0,
 *		it MUST BE incremented by the user when it
 *		does not return the buffer immediately, and decremented
 *		when the buffer is finally freed.
 *
 *
 * DATA OWNERSHIP/LOCKING:
 *	The netmap_ring, all slots, and buffers in the range
 *	[reserved-cur , cur+avail[ are owned by the user program,
 *	and the kernel only touches them in the same thread context
 *	during a system call.
 *	Other buffers are reserved for use by the NIC's DMA engines.
 *
 * FLAGS
 *	NR_TIMESTAMP	updates the 'ts' field on each syscall. This is
 *			a global timestamp for all packets.
 *	NR_RX_TSTMP	if set, the last 64 byte in each buffer will
 *			contain a timestamp for the frame supplied by
 *			the hardware (if supported)
 *	NR_FORWARD	if set, the NS_FORWARD flag in each slot of the
 *			RX ring is checked, and if set the packet is
 *			passed to the other side (host stack or device,
 *			respectively). This permits bpf-like behaviour
 *			or transparency for selected packets.

 *	for each queue (useful to set number of threads etc.).
 *	The info returned is only advisory and may change before
 *	the interface is bound to a file descriptor.
 *
 * NIOCREGIF takes an interface name within a struct ifreq,
 *	and activates netmap mode on the interface (if possible).
 *
 *   nr_name	is the name of the interface
 *
 *   nr_tx_slots, nr_tx_slots, nr_tx_rings, nr_rx_rings
 *	indicate the configuration of the port on return.
 *
 *	On input, non-zero values for nr_tx_rings, nr_tx_slots and the
 *	rx counterparts may be used to reconfigure the port according
 *	to the requested values, but this is not guaranteed.
 *	The actual values are returned on completion of the ioctl().
 *
 *   nr_ringid
 *	indicates how rings should be bound to the file descriptors.
 *	The default (0) means all physical rings of a NIC are bound.
 *	NETMAP_HW_RING plus a ring number lets you bind just
 *	a single ring pair.
 *	NETMAP_SW_RING binds only the host tx/rx rings
 *	NETMAP_NO_TX_POLL prevents select()/poll() from pushing
 *	out packets on the tx ring unless POLLOUT is specified.
 *
 *	NETMAP_PRIV_MEM is a return value used to indicate that
 *	this ring is in a private memory region hence buffer
 *	swapping cannot be used
 *
 *   nr_cmd	is used to configure NICs attached to a VALE switch,
 *	or to dump the configuration of a VALE switch.
 *
 *	nr_cmd = NETMAP_BDG_ATTACH and nr_name = vale*:ifname
 *	attaches the NIC to the switch, with nr_ringid specifying
 *	which rings to use
 *
 *	nr_cmd = NETMAP_BDG_DETACH and nr_name = vale*:ifname
 *	disconnects a previously attached NIC
 *
 *	nr_cmd = NETMAP_BDG_LIST is used to list the configuration
 *	of VALE switches, with additional arguments.
 *
 * NIOCTXSYNC, NIOCRXSYNC synchronize tx or rx queues,
