According to the FreeBSD Manual Page:
- When kevent() returns and if `flags` is EVFILT_READ, sockets which have previously been passed to listen() return when there is an incoming connection pending. `data` contains the size of the listen backlog.
So if an EVFILT_READ event reaches and it is the listen socket, we must accept `event->data` times. And for `ff_epoll` interface, we should continue to accept until it fails.
In the previous version, we only accept once when event reaches, it will cause listen queue overflow.
e.g. unix socket, ipc (with APP on kernel network stack), packet from kernel network stack.
1. Add a new directive kernel_network_stack :
Syntax: kernel_network_stack on | off;
Default: kernel_network_stack off;
Context: http, server
This directive is available only when NGX_HAVE_FF_STACK is defined.
Determines whether server should run on kernel network stack or fstack.
2. Use a simpler and more effective solution to discriminate fstack fd(file descriptor, only socket for now) from kernel fd.

The error line is:
`la->sctpNatTimer.TimerQ = sn_calloc(SN_TIMER_QUEUE_SIZE, sizeof(struct
sctpTimerQ));`
Since SN_TIMER_QUEUE_SIZE is defined as SN_MAX_TIMER+2, and sn_calloc is
defined as sn_malloc(x * n) if _SYS_MALLOC_H_ is defined, the size of
calloced memory will be wrong, because the macro will be expanded to
sizeof(struct sctpTimerQ)*SN_MAX_TIMER+2.
And the memory will be out of bounds here.
```
/* Initialise circular timer Q*/
for (i = 0; i < SN_TIMER_QUEUE_SIZE; i++)
LIST_INIT(&la->sctpNatTimer.TimerQ[i]);
```
Since f-stack uses `rte_pktmbuf_clone` to copy mbuf to other lcores when dispatching arp packets, but it doesn't real copy the packet data. The buf_addr of pktmbuf is pointed to the same address.
The arp response packet is generated with the same mbuf from the request
packet, it just swaps the src and dst address, so the copied mbufs will also be changed.
What we need is a deep copy function, and the arp packets are really small, so deep copy will not harm performance too much.
Fix#53#111#112.
1.Both EVFILT_READ and EVFILT_WRITE are values but not flags. It needs to check whether it is equal but not to do logic and.
2.If the read direction of the socket has shutdown, then the filter also sets EV_EOF in `flags`, and returns the socket error (if any) in `fflags`.
ipfw -- interface for firewall, packet scheduler, NAT and so on.
It is comprised of several components: the kernel firewall filter rule processor and its integrated packet accounting facility, the logging facility, NAT, a forward facility, a bridge facility, and an ipstealth facility.
Note that the `dummynet` traffic shaper is not merged.
In some cases, for example, packets are forwarded to your server through
IP tunnel, and they will be received on fixed queues, since RSS doesn't support tunnels.So we need to dispatch them again.
With this commit, we can implement a dispatcher callback function and regist
it, packets retrieved from rx queue will be dispatched again according to
the dispatcher result.
Since maxhold's default value is 1, it may not be enough for some
applicatins, so increase it to the value of
net.link.ether.inet.maxtries(ARP resolution attempts before returning
error).
For example, if you have an extra FreeBSD kernel module, and want to
compile it into F-Stack, you can do it like this:
```
cd f-stack/lib
export "KMOD_SRCS=/your/kmod/path/a.c /your/kmod/path/b.c"
export "CONF_CFLAGS=-I/your/kmod/path"
make
```
