- Switch the "net.inet.tcp.reass.cursegments" and
"net.inet.tcp.reass.maxsegments" sysctl variables to be based on UMA zone
stats. The value returned by the cursegments sysctl is approximate owing to
the way in which uma_zone_get_cur is implemented.
- Discontinue use of V_tcp_reass_qsize as a global reassembly segment count
variable in the reassembly implementation. The variable was used without
proper synchronisation and was duplicating accounting done by UMA already. The
lack of synchronisation was particularly problematic on SMP systems
terminating many TCP sessions, resulting in poor TCP performance for
connections with non-zero packet loss.
