route_in6, struct route_iso), replacing all caches with a struct
route.
The principle benefit of this change is that all of the protocol
families can benefit from route cache-invalidation, which is
necessary for correct routing. Route-cache invalidation fixes an
ancient PR, kern/3508, at long last; it fixes various other PRs,
also.
Discussions with and ideas from Joerg Sonnenberger influenced this
work tremendously. Of course, all design oversights and bugs are
mine.
DETAILS
1 I added to each address family a pool of sockaddrs. I have
introduced routines for allocating, copying, and duplicating,
and freeing sockaddrs:
struct sockaddr *sockaddr_alloc(sa_family_t af, int flags);
struct sockaddr *sockaddr_copy(struct sockaddr *dst,
const struct sockaddr *src);
struct sockaddr *sockaddr_dup(const struct sockaddr *src, int flags);
void sockaddr_free(struct sockaddr *sa);
sockaddr_alloc() returns either a sockaddr from the pool belonging
to the specified family, or NULL if the pool is exhausted. The
returned sockaddr has the right size for that family; sa_family
and sa_len fields are initialized to the family and sockaddr
length---e.g., sa_family = AF_INET and sa_len = sizeof(struct
sockaddr_in). sockaddr_free() puts the given sockaddr back into
its family's pool.
sockaddr_dup() and sockaddr_copy() work analogously to strdup()
and strcpy(), respectively. sockaddr_copy() KASSERTs that the
family of the destination and source sockaddrs are alike.
The 'flags' argumet for sockaddr_alloc() and sockaddr_dup() is
passed directly to pool_get(9).
2 I added routines for initializing sockaddrs in each address
family, sockaddr_in_init(), sockaddr_in6_init(), sockaddr_iso_init(),
etc. They are fairly self-explanatory.
3 structs route_in6 and route_iso are no more. All protocol families
use struct route. I have changed the route cache, 'struct route',
so that it does not contain storage space for a sockaddr. Instead,
struct route points to a sockaddr coming from the pool the sockaddr
belongs to. I added a new method to struct route, rtcache_setdst(),
for setting the cache destination:
int rtcache_setdst(struct route *, const struct sockaddr *);
rtcache_setdst() returns 0 on success, or ENOMEM if no memory is
available to create the sockaddr storage.
It is now possible for rtcache_getdst() to return NULL if, say,
rtcache_setdst() failed. I check the return value for NULL
everywhere in the kernel.
4 Each routing domain (struct domain) has a list of live route
caches, dom_rtcache. rtflushall(sa_family_t af) looks up the
domain indicated by 'af', walks the domain's list of route caches
and invalidates each one.
be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
as with user-land programs, include files are installed by each directory
in the tree that has includes to install. (This allows more flexibility
as to what gets installed, makes 'partial installs' easier, and gives us
more options as to which machines' includes get installed at any given
time.) The old SYS_INCLUDES={symlinks,copies} behaviours are _both_
still supported, though at least one bug in the 'symlinks' case is
fixed by this change. Include files can't be build before installation,
so directories that have includes as targets (e.g. dev/pci) have to move
those targets into a different Makefile.
