/* LWIP service - mempool.c - memory pool management and slab allocation */
/*
 * This module should be considered a replacement for lwIP's PBUF_POOL and
 * custom-pools functionality.  lwIP's PBUF_POOL system allows a PBUF_POOL type
 * allocation for a moderately large amount of memory, for example for a full-
 * sized packet, to be turned into a chain of "pbuf" buffers, each of a static
 * size.  Most of lwIP can deal with such pbuf chains, because many other types
 * of allocations also end up consisting of pbuf chains.  However, lwIP will
 * never use PBUF_POOL for its own memory allocations, and use PBUF_RAM
 * allocations instead.  Such PBUF_RAM allocations always return one single
 * pbuf with a contiguous memory area.  lwIP's custom pools support allows such
 * PBUF_RAM allocations to draw from user-defined pools of statically allocated
 * memory, as an alternative to turning such allocations into malloc() calls.
 *
 * However, lwIP itself does not offer a way to combine these two pool systems:
 * the PBUF_POOL buffer pool and the custom pools are completely separate.  We
 * want to be able to draw both kinds of memory from the same pool.  This is
 * the first reason that we are using our own memory pools.  The second is
 * something that lwIP could never offer anyway: we would like to provide a
 * certain amount of static/preallocated memory for those types of allocations,
 * but optionally also add a much larger amount of dynamic memory when needed.
 *
 * In order to make this module work, we do not use PBUF_POOL anywhere.
 * Instead, we use chained static-sized PBUF_RAM allocations for all types of
 * allocations that we manage ourselves--see pchain_alloc().  We tell lwIP to
 * use the functions in this module to do the malloc-type allocations for those
 * PBUF_RAM buffers.  As such, this module manages all PBUF_RAM allocations,
 * both from our own code and from lwIP.  Note that we do still use lwIP's own
 * pools for various lwIP structures.  We do want to keep the isolation
 * provided by the use of such pools, even though that means that we have to
 * provision some of those pools for the worst case, resulting in some memory
 * overhead that is unnecessary for the common case.
 *
 * With PBUF_RAM allocation redirection system in place, this module has to
 * manage the memory for those allocations.  It does this based on the
 * assertion that there are three main classes of PBUF_RAM allocation sizes:
 *
 * - "large" allocations: these are allocations for up to MEMPOOL_BUFSIZE bytes
 *   of PBUF_RAM data, where MEMPOOL_BUFSIZE is the allocation granularity that
 *   we have picked for the individual buffers in larger chains.  It is set to
 *   512 bytes right now, mainly to keep pbuf chains for full-sized ethernet
 *   packets short, which has many performance advantages.  Since the pbuf
 *   header itself also takes some space (16 bytes, right now), this results in
 *   allocations seen by mempool_malloc() of up to just over 512 bytes.
 * - "small" allocations: these are allocations mostly for packet headers, as
 *   needed by lwIP to prepend to (mainly TCP) packet data that we give to it.
 *   The size of these allocations varies, but most are 76 bytes (80 bytes if
 *   we ever add VLAN support), plus once again the pbuf header.
 * - "excessive" allocations: these are allocations larger than the maximum
 *   we have configured, effectively requesting contiguous memory of (possibly
 *   far) more than 512 bytes.  We do not make such allocations ourselves, as
 *   we only ever create pbuf chains.  Thus, any such allocations come from
 *   lwIP.  There are a few locations in lwIP that attempt to make those kinds
 *   of allocations, but we replace one important case in the lwIP code with
 *   a chained allocation, (currently) leaving only one case: allocation of
 *   ICMP ping reply packets.  In this module, we outright *deny* any excessive
 *   allocations.  Practically, that means that no replies are generated for
 *   requests exceeding around 460 bytes, which is in fact not bad, especially
 *   since we have multicast ICMP ping replying enabled.  If any new cases of
 *   excessive allocations are added to lwIP in the future, we will have to
 *   deal with those on a case-by-case basis, but for now this should be all.
 *
 * This module caters to the first two types of allocations.  For large buffer
 * allocations, it provides a standard slab allocator, with a hardcoded slab
 * size of MEMPOOL_LARGE_COUNT buffers with a 512-byte data area each.  One
 * slab is allocated at service start-up; additional slabs up to a configured
 * maximum are allocated on demand.  Once fallen out of use, all but one slabs
 * will be freed after a while, using a timer.  The current per-slab count of
 * 512 large buffers, combined with the buffer size of 512 plus the pbuf header
 * plus a bit of extra overhead, results in about 266 KB per slab.
 *
 * For small buffer allocations, there are two facilities.  First, there is a
 * static pool of small buffers.  This pool currently provides 256 small-sized
 * buffers, mainly in order to allow packet headers to be produced even in low-
 * memory conditions.  In addition, small buffers may be formed by allocating
 * and then splitting up one large buffer.  The module is currently configured
 * to split one large buffer into four small buffers, which yields a small
 * buffer size of just over 100 bytes--enough for the packet headers while
 * leaving little slack on either side.
 *
 * It is important to note that large and small buffer allocations are freed up
 * through the same function, with no information on the original allocation
 * size.  As a result, we have to distinguish between large and small buffers
 * using a unified system.  In particular, this module prepends each of its
 * allocations by a single pointer, which points to a header structure that is
 * at the very beginning of the slab that contains the allocated buffer.  That
 * header structure contains information about the type of slab (large or
 * small) as well as some accounting information used by both types.
 *
 * For large-buffer slabs, this header is part of a larger structure with for
 * example the slab's list of free buffers.  This larger structure is then
 * followed by the actual buffers in the slab.
 *
 * For small-buffer slabs, the header is followed directly by the actual small
 * buffers.  Thus, when a large buffer is split up into four small buffers, the
 * data area of that large buffer consists of a small-type slab header and four
 * small buffers.  The large buffer itself is simply considered in use, as
 * though it was allocated for regular data.  This nesting approach saves a lot
 * of memory for small allocations, at the cost of a bit more computation.
 *
 * It should be noted that all allocations should be (and are) pointer-aligned.
 * Normally lwIP would check for this, but we cannot tell lwIP the platform
 * pointer size without hardcoding that size.  This module performs proper
 * alignment of all buffers itself though, regardless of the pointer size.
