- All three functions are included in the kernel by default.
They call a backend function cpu_in_cksum after possibly
computing the checksum of the pseudo header.
- cpu_in_cksum is the core to implement the one-complement sum.
The default implementation is moderate fast on most platforms
and provides a 32bit accumulator with 16bit addends for L32 platforms
and a 64bit accumulator with 32bit addends for L64 platforms.
It handles edge cases like very large mbuf chains (could happen with
native IPv6 in the future) and provides a good base for new native
implementations.
- Modify i386 and amd64 assembly to use the new interface.
This disables the MD implementations on !x86 until the conversion is
done. For Alpha, the portable version is faster.
Only record an IPSEC_OUT_DONE tag when we have finished the processing
In ip{,6}_output, check this tag to know if we have already processed this
packet.
Remove some dead code (IPSEC_PENDING_TDB is not used in NetBSD)
Fix pr/36870
primarily used with TCP SYN and RST packets and such packets are less than
the smallest sized packet that an IP stack is allowed to fragment, we simply
set ip_id to 0 for all packets 68 bytes or less.
Add if_set_sadl() that both sets the link-layer address length and
replaces the current link-layer address with a new one, and use it
throughout the tree.
to _ro_rt. Use rtcache_getrt() to access a route cache's struct
rtentry *.
Introduce struct ifnet->if_dl that always points at the interface
identifier/link-layer address. Make code that treated the first
ifaddr on struct ifnet->if_addrlist as the interface address use
if_dl, instead.
Remove stale debugging code from net/route.c. Move the rtflush()
code into rtcache_clear() and delete rtflush(). Delete rtalloc(),
because nothing uses it any more.
Make ND6_HINT an inline, lowercase subroutine, nd6_hint.
I've done my best to convert IP Filter, the ISO stack, and the
AppleTalk stack to rtcache_getrt(). They compile, but I have not
tested them. I have given the changes to PF, GRE, IPv4 and IPv6
stacks a lot of exercise.
in_pcbbind().
Okay dyoung@.
Note that the network code is another candidate for major cleanup... also
note that this issue is likely to be present in netinet6 code, too.
instead of adding/subtracting our own IPv4 header.
There are many benefits: gre(4) needn't grok the outer encapsulation
header any longer, so this simplifies the gre(4) code. The IP
stack needn't grok GRE, so it is simplified, too. gre(4) will
benefit from optimizations in the socket code. Eventually, gre(4)
will gain an IPv6 encapsulation with very few new lines of code.
There is a small performance loss. A 133 MHz, 486-class AMD Elan
sinks/sources a TCP stream over GRE with about 93% the throughput
of the old code. TCP throughput on a 266 MHz, 586-class AMD Geode
is about 96% the throughput of the old code. A 175-MHz ADM5120
(MIPS) only sinks a TCP stream over GRE at about 90% of the old
code; I am still investigating that.
I produced stripped-down versions of sosend() and soreceive() for
gre(4) to use. They are guaranteed not to block, so they can be
called from a software interrupt and from a socket upcall,
respectively.
A kernel thread is no longer necessary for socket transmit/receive,
but I didn't get around to removing it, yet.
Thanks to Matt Thomas for suggesting the use of stripped-down socket
code and software interrupts, and to Andrew Doran for advice and
answers concerning software interrupts, threads, and performance.
closer to its single caller in if_eon.c, try to move fewer bytes
by moving the IP header forward instead of moving the tail of the
mbuf backward, and use m_adj(9) instead of fiddling directly with
mbuf data members.
ifreq * arguments to ether_addmulti() and ether_delmulti() to const
struct sockaddr *, since ether_{add,del}multi() only ever read the
sockaddr ifreq member, ifr_addr. Update uses in carp(4) and in
vlan(4).
tells a socket that it should both add a protocol header to tx'd
datagrams and remove the header from rx'd datagrams:
int onoff = 1, s = socket(...);
setsockopt(s, SOL_SOCKET, SO_NOHEADER, &onoff);
2) Add an implementation of (SOL_SOCKET, SO_NOHEADER) for raw IPv4
sockets.
3) Reorganize the protocols' pr_ctloutput implementations a bit.
Consistently return ENOPROTOOPT when an option is unsupported,
and EINVAL if a supported option's arguments are incorrect.
Reorganize the flow of code so that it's more clear how/when
options are passed down the stack until they are handled.
Shorten some pr_ctloutput staircases for readability.
4) Extract common mbuf code into subroutines, add new sockaddr
methods, and introduce a new subroutine, fsocreate(), for reuse
later; use it first in sys_socket():
struct mbuf *m_getsombuf(struct socket *so)
Create an mbuf and make its owner the socket `so'.
struct mbuf *m_intopt(struct socket *so, int val)
Create an mbuf, make its owner the socket `so', put the
int `val' into it, and set its length to sizeof(int).
int fsocreate(..., int *fd)
Create a socket, a la socreate(9), put the socket into the
given LWP's descriptor table, return the descriptor at `fd'
on success.
void *sockaddr_addr(struct sockaddr *sa, socklen_t *slenp)
const void *sockaddr_const_addr(const struct sockaddr *sa, socklen_t *slenp)
Extract a pointer to the address part of a sockaddr. Write
the length of the address part at `slenp', if `slenp' is
not NULL.
socklen_t sockaddr_getlen(const struct sockaddr *sa)
Return the length of a sockaddr. This just evaluates to
sa->sa_len. I only add this for consistency with code that
appears in a portable userland library that I am going to
import.
const struct sockaddr *sockaddr_any(const struct sockaddr *sa)
Return the "don't care" sockaddr in the same family as
`sa'. This is the address a client should sobind(9) if it
does not care the source address and, if applicable, the
port et cetera that it uses.
const void *sockaddr_anyaddr(const struct sockaddr *sa, socklen_t *slenp)
Return the "don't care" sockaddr in the same family as
`sa'. This is the address a client should sobind(9) if it
does not care the source address and, if applicable, the
port et cetera that it uses.
