When a link-layer address changes (e.g., ifconfig ex0 link
02🇩🇪ad:be:ef:02 active), send a gratuitous ARP and/or a Neighbor
Advertisement to update the network-/link-layer address bindings
on our LAN peers.
Refuse a change of ethernet address to the address 00:00:00:00:00:00
or to any multicast/broadcast address. (Thanks matt@.)
Reorder ifnet ioctl operations so that driver ioctls may inherit
the functions of their "class"---ether_ioctl(), fddi_ioctl(), et
cetera---and the class ioctls may inherit from the generic ioctl,
ifioctl_common(), but both driver- and class-ioctls may override
the generic behavior. Make network drivers share more code.
Distinguish a "factory" link-layer address from others for the
purposes of both protecting that address from deletion and computing
EUI64.
Return consistent, appropriate error codes from network drivers.
Improve readability. KNF.
*** Details ***
In if_attach(), always initialize the interface ioctl routine,
ifnet->if_ioctl, if the driver has not already initialized it.
Delete if_ioctl == NULL tests everywhere else, because it cannot
happen.
In the ioctl routines of network interfaces, inherit common ioctl
behaviors by calling either ifioctl_common() or whichever ioctl
routine is appropriate for the class of interface---e.g., ether_ioctl()
for ethernets.
Stop (ab)using SIOCSIFADDR and start to use SIOCINITIFADDR. In
the user->kernel interface, SIOCSIFADDR's argument was an ifreq,
but on the protocol->ifnet interface, SIOCSIFADDR's argument was
an ifaddr. That was confusing, and it would work against me as I
make it possible for a network interface to overload most ioctls.
On the protocol->ifnet interface, replace SIOCSIFADDR with
SIOCINITIFADDR. In ifioctl(), return EPERM if userland tries to
invoke SIOCINITIFADDR.
In ifioctl(), give the interface the first shot at handling most
interface ioctls, and give the protocol the second shot, instead
of the other way around. Finally, let compatibility code (COMPAT_OSOCK)
take a shot.
Pull device initialization out of switch statements under
SIOCINITIFADDR. For example, pull ..._init() out of any switch
statement that looks like this:
switch (...->sa_family) {
case ...:
..._init();
...
break;
...
default:
..._init();
...
break;
}
Rewrite many if-else clauses that handle all permutations of IFF_UP
and IFF_RUNNING to use a switch statement,
switch (x & (IFF_UP|IFF_RUNNING)) {
case 0:
...
break;
case IFF_RUNNING:
...
break;
case IFF_UP:
...
break;
case IFF_UP|IFF_RUNNING:
...
break;
}
unifdef lots of code containing #ifdef FreeBSD, #ifdef NetBSD, and
#ifdef SIOCSIFMTU, especially in fwip(4) and in ndis(4).
In ipw(4), remove an if_set_sadl() call that is out of place.
In nfe(4), reuse the jumbo MTU logic in ether_ioctl().
Let ethernets register a callback for setting h/w state such as
promiscuous mode and the multicast filter in accord with a change
in the if_flags: ether_set_ifflags_cb() registers a callback that
returns ENETRESET if the caller should reset the ethernet by calling
if_init(), 0 on success, != 0 on failure. Pull common code from
ex(4), gem(4), nfe(4), sip(4), tlp(4), vge(4) into ether_ioctl(),
and register if_flags callbacks for those drivers.
Return ENOTTY instead of EINVAL for inappropriate ioctls. In
zyd(4), use ENXIO instead of ENOTTY to indicate that the device is
not any longer attached.
Add to if_set_sadl() a boolean 'factory' argument that indicates
whether a link-layer address was assigned by the factory or some
other source. In a comment, recommend using the factory address
for generating an EUI64, and update in6_get_hw_ifid() to prefer a
factory address to any other link-layer address.
Add a routing message, RTM_LLINFO_UPD, that tells protocols to
update the binding of network-layer addresses to link-layer addresses.
Implement this message in IPv4 and IPv6 by sending a gratuitous
ARP or a neighbor advertisement, respectively. Generate RTM_LLINFO_UPD
messages on a change of an interface's link-layer address.
In ether_ioctl(), do not let SIOCALIFADDR set a link-layer address
that is broadcast/multicast or equal to 00:00:00:00:00:00.
Make ether_ioctl() call ifioctl_common() to handle ioctls that it
does not understand.
In gif(4), initialize if_softc and use it, instead of assuming that
the gif_softc and ifp overlap.
Let ifioctl_common() handle SIOCGIFADDR.
Sprinkle rtcache_invariants(), which checks on DIAGNOSTIC kernels
that certain invariants on a struct route are satisfied.
In agr(4), rewrite agr_ioctl_filter() to be a bit more explicit
about the ioctls that we do not allow on an agr(4) member interface.
bzero -> memset. Delete unnecessary casts to void *. Use
sockaddr_in_init() and sockaddr_in6_init(). Compare pointers with
NULL instead of "testing truth". Replace some instances of (type
*)0 with NULL. Change some K&R prototypes to ANSI C, and join
lines.
IFF_UP and IFF_RUNNING before running the 'disable' step, instead
of after. Soon I will handle the 'disable' step by calling into
PMF, which may call if_stop(, 0). Ordinarily, that is harmless.
This change lets the if_stop() routines exit early when they find
on entry that IFF_RUNNING is not set.
Rx ICV errors using evcnt(9).
In promiscuous mode, and when scanning (hmm), ask the NIC for bad
packets (e.g., those that do not pass CRC32). Pass bad packets to
radiotap listeners. Pass packets to radiotap listeners before
stripping FCS. Re-order operations in atw_rxintr() to accomplish
all of this without passing bad packets up to net80211.
Set radiotap channel once in atw_tune() instead of in atw_rxintr().
Fix an endianness bug: it_len is little-endian, but bpf_mtap2()'s
argument needs to be in host order.
Do not alias the Rx descriptor word ar_ctl to ar_rssi with a #define.
Instead, call the member ar_ctlrssi.
Convert the ugly macro ATW_RXDESC_INIT() to an inline subroutine,
atw_rxdesc_init().
Do not load an empty IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_FLAGS field into the Tx
radiotap header.
error = (cmd == SIOCADDMULTI) ?
ether_addmulti(ifr, &sc->sc_ec) :
ether_delmulti(ifr, &sc->sc_ec);
if (error == ENETRESET) {
to this,
if ((error = ether_ioctl(ifp, cmd, data)) == ENETRESET) {
which does the same thing.
(A bazillion is a very large number. This seems to make the i386
ALL kernel smaller by 3kB to 4kB.)
Use ifreq_getaddr() twice in es(4).
Whitespace nits.
macros, __BIT, __BITS, SHIFTIN, SHIFTOUT, and __arraycount() from
lib/libkern/libkern.h to sys/cdefs.h. Add a __-prefix to SHIFTIN
and SHIFTOUT, and add a manual page for the bit-twiddling macros,
bits(3).
Make the __BIT and __BITS macros "widthless," as best I can, by
changing their type to uintmax_t from uint32_t. XXX The manual
page lags this change by a bit.
Define __PRIxBIT and __PRIxBITS printf(3) format strings.
with the next free transmit descriptor. Now, it is more obvious
that lasttx is not an illegal negative index into the descriptor
ring. Remove a superfluous assertion.
Addresses Coverity CID 1319.
ic->ic_bss, but it uses the rateset in its new ieee80211_node
argument, instead. If the rate is fixed by ic->ic_fixed_rate, but
the fixed rate is not in the node's rateset, choose a reasonable
default: prefer the lowest basic rate or, if there is no basic
rate, prefer the lowest rate, period.
Change a printf complaint to a debug message.
Adapt drivers to suit new ieee80211_get_rate calling convention.

I had duplicated them. Improve the macros' names. Simplify their
implementation.
A brief description of each macro is below.
BIT(n): Return a bitmask with bit m set, where the least
significant bit is bit 0.
BITS(m, n): Return a bitmask with bits m through n, inclusive,
set. It does not matter whether m>n or m<=n.
The least significant bit is bit 0.
A "bitfield" is a span of consecutive bits defined by a
bitmask, where 1s select the bits in the bitfield. SHIFTIN,
SHIFTOUT, and SHIFTOUT_MASK help read and write bitfields
from device registers.
SHIFTIN(v, mask): Left-shift bits `v' into the bitfield
defined by `mask', and return them. No
side-effects.
SHIFTOUT(v, mask): Extract and return the bitfield selected
by `mask' from `v', right-shifting the
bits so that the rightmost selected bit
is at bit 0. No side-effects.
SHIFTOUT_MASK(mask): Right-shift the bits in `mask' so that
the rightmost non-zero bit is at bit
0. This is useful for finding the
greatest unsigned value that a bitfield
can hold. No side-effects. Note that
SHIFTOUT_MASK(m) = SHIFTOUT(m, m).

For ease of comparison with a reference driver, re-order operations.

to the h/w. This prevents a spurious call to atw_write_wep() later,
in IEEE80211_S_RUN state, when net80211 times-out ieee80211_nodes.
It is important to avoid a spurious atw_write_wep() call because
in IBSS mode, at least, WEP re-initialization reliably locks up
the transmitter.
XXX There must be a bug in atw_write_wep() that causes it to lock
XXX up the transmitter. I will revisit it later.
