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.
- Socket layer becomes MP safe.
- Unix protocols become MP safe.
- Allows protocol processing interrupts to safely block on locks.
- Fixes a number of race conditions.
With much feedback from matt@ and plunky@.
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.
