Increase the default bpf buffer size used by naive apps that don't do
BIOCSBLEN, from 8k to 32k. The former value of 8192 is too small to
hold a normal jumbo Ethernet frame (circa 9k), 16k is a little small
for Large-jumbo (~16k) frames supported by newer gigabit
Ethernet/10Gbe, so (somewhat arbitrarily) increase the default to 32k.
Increase the upper limit to which BIOSBLEN can raise bpf buffer-size
drastically, to 1 Mbyte. State-of-the-art for packet capture circa
1999 was around 256k; savvy NetBSD developers now use 1 Mbyte.
Note that libpcap has been updated to do binary-search on BIOCSBLEN
values up to 1 Mbyte.
Work is in progress to make both values sysctl'able. Source comments
note that consensus on tech-net is that we should find some heuristic
to set the boot-time default values dynamically, based on system memory.
to check if interface exists, as (1) if_index has different meaning
(2) ifindex2ifnet could become NULL when interface gets destroyed,
since when we have introduced dynamically-created interfaces. from kame
the tag before forwarding the packet, make sure the packet+tag is at least
68 bytes long.
This is necessary because our parent will only pad to 64 bytes (ETHER_MIN_LEN)
and some switches will not pad by themselves after deleting a tag.
Gone are the old kern_sysctl(), cpu_sysctl(), hw_sysctl(),
vfs_sysctl(), etc, routines, along with sysctl_int() et al. Now all
nodes are registered with the tree, and nodes can be added (or
removed) easily, and I/O to and from the tree is handled generically.
Since the nodes are registered with the tree, the mapping from name to
number (and back again) can now be discovered, instead of having to be
hard coded. Adding new nodes to the tree is likewise much simpler --
the new infrastructure handles almost all the work for simple types,
and just about anything else can be done with a small helper function.
All existing nodes are where they were before (numerically speaking),
so all existing consumers of sysctl information should notice no
difference.
PS - I'm sorry, but there's a distinct lack of documentation at the
moment. I'm working on sysctl(3/8/9) right now, and I promise to
watch out for buses.
mbuf chains which are recycled (e.g., ICMP reflection, loopback
interface). A consensus was reached that such recycled packets should
behave (more-or-less) the same way if a new chain had been allocated
and the contents copied to that chain.
Some packet tags may in future be marked as "persistent" (e.g., for
mandatory access controls) and should persist across such deletion.
NetBSD as yet hos no persistent tags, so m_tag_delete_nonpersistent()
just deletes all tags. This should not be relied upon.
The code was assuming that interface addresses are removed one-by-one.
With IPv6 and multicasts, removal of one address can remove other
addresses as side effect, which caused accesses of free()d memory.
sysctl. Add a protocol-independent sysctl handler to show the per-protocol
"struct ifq' statistics. Add IP(v4) specific call to the handler.
Other protocols can show their per-protocol input statistics by
allocating a sysclt node and calling sysctl_ifq() with their own struct ifq *.

filter or not. We only need to run the filter for bridge_forward() and
bridge_broadcast(). If we also run it for bridge_output(), we will run
the filter twice outbound per packet, so don't.
In bridge_ipf(), make sure we don't run m_cat() on a single mbuf chain
by checking to see (and remembering) if we need to m_split() the mbuf.
This fixes bridge + ipfilter on sparc.
Fixes PR kern/22063.
As long as we receive data from the peer, don't worry. When we have not
received anything within the "max_noreceive" period, we start sending LCP
echo requests and count them, until we receive an answer (or some data)
or the "maxalive" count of not answered echo requests is reached.
All this is checked at a global 10 seconds interval for all interfaces.
The "max_noreceive" period and the "maxalive" count are configurable per
interface.

NB: route MTU may not track MTU changes, which may cause problems for
AF_ISO if loopback MTU is decreased. I've never seen problems with IP,

configured with ``options FAST_IPSEC''. Kernels with KAME IPsec or
with no IPsec should work as before.
All calls to ip_output() now always pass an additional compulsory
argument: the inpcb associated with the packet being sent,

did not fit in struct osockaddr. Fixes linux emulation issue where bogus
addresses where returned for the interfaces [AF_LINK, AF_INET6]. While
I am here, change ioctl, so if the ifconf buffer passed is NULL, then it
computes how much space is needed and returns it in ifc_len.
Now, bridged ipv6 packets are passed through ipfilter.
However, some v6 packets still do not get transmitted when ipf is enabled.

When using bpf(4) in immediate mode, and using kevent(2) to receive
notification of packet arrival, the usermode application isn't notified
until a second packet arrives.
This is because KNOTE() calls filt_bpfread() before bd_slen has been
updated with the newly arrived packet length, so it looks like there
is no data there.
Moving the bpf_wakeup() call for immediate mode to after bd_slen is set
fixes it.

by the application, all NetBSD interfaces are made visible, even
if some other feature-test macro (like _POSIX_C_SOURCE) is defined.
<sys/featuretest.h> defined _NETBSD_SOURCE if none of _ANSI_SOURCE,
_POSIX_C_SOURCE and _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined, so as to preserve
existing behaviour.
This has two major advantages:
+ Programs that require non-POSIX facilities but define _POSIX_C_SOURCE
can trivially be overruled by putting -D_NETBSD_SOURCE in their CFLAGS.
+ It makes most of the #ifs simpler, in that they're all now ORs of the
various macros, rather than having checks for (!defined(_ANSI_SOURCE) ||
!defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE) || !defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE)) all over the place.
I've tried not to change the semantics of the headers in any case where
_NETBSD_SOURCE wasn't defined, but there were some places where the
current semantics were clearly mad, and retaining them was harder than
correcting them. In particular, I've mostly normalised things so that
_ANSI_SOURCE gets you the smallest set of stuff, then _POSIX_C_SOURCE,
_XOPEN_SOURCE and _NETBSD_SOURCE in that order.
Tested by building for vax, encouraged by thorpej, and uncontested in

saving bit is set in incoming frames from a station, and buffers the
outgoing frames for the station until they are polled for. This
requires support in the driver to set a bit in the TIM bitmap sent
during 802.11 beacons.
So far, support for power saving in Host AP mode is only available
for the PRISM2 chipset.
M_PROMISC. In ether_input(), flag packets comming from an interface in
promiscous mode which are not for us M_PROMISC instead of droping them.
Drop M_PROMISC packets which are not passed to vlan_input(). M_PROMISC
packets passed to vlan_input() will be looped back to ether_input()
the M_PROMISC flag will be handled appropriately.
Clear M_PROMISC before giving the packet to bridge, as bridge has its own
checks for local MAC addresses.
This also makes bridges on vlan working.
- initialise stp when the bridge is turned up, without this stp will keep
all interfaces disabled in a sequence like:
brconfig bridge0 add if0 add if1 stp if0 stp if1 up
- s/BRDGSPRI/BRDGSIFPRIO in brconfig.c:cmd_ifpriority()
add a command (ifpathcost) to change the stp path cost of the STP path cost of
an interface. Display the interface path cost with the others STP parameters.
This improves performance a lot on slow machines behind a cable modem.
Protect it with PPPOE_SERVER as a reminder that this will have to be changed
if we add PPPoE server code in the kernel one day.
Do a little mbuf rework while here. Change all uses of MGET*(*, M_WAIT, *)
to m_get*(M_WAIT, *). These are not performance critical and making them

make corresponding change for M_WAIT uses.
