The benefits of the change are:
- We can reduce codes
- We can provide the same behavior between drivers
- Where/When if_ipackets is counted up
- Note that some drivers still update packet statistics in their own
way (periodical update)
- Moved bpf_mtap run in softint
- This makes it easy to MP-ify bpf
Proposed on tech-kern and tech-net
The API is used to set (or reset) a received interface of a mbuf.
They are counterpart of m_get_rcvif, which will come in another
commit, hide internal of rcvif operation, and reduce the diff of
the upcoming change.

This change intends to run the whole network stack in softint context
(or normal LWP), not hardware interrupt context. Note that the work is
still incomplete by this change; to that end, we also have to softint-ify
if_link_state_change (and bpf) which can still run in hardware interrupt.
This change softint-ifies at ifp->if_input that is called from
each device driver (and ieee80211_input) to ensure Layer 2 runs
in softint (e.g., ether_input and bridge_input). To this end,
we provide a framework (called percpuq) that utlizes softint(9)
and percpu ifqueues. With this patch, rxintr of most drivers just
queues received packets and schedules a softint, and the softint
dequeues packets and does rest packet processing.
To minimize changes to each driver, percpuq is allocated in struct
ifnet for now and that is initialized by default (in if_attach).
We probably have to move percpuq to softc of each driver, but it's
future work. At this point, only wm(4) has percpuq in its softc
as a reference implementation.

1) Move core entropy-pool code and source/sink/sample management code
to sys/kern from sys/dev.
2) Remove use of NRND as test for presence of entropy-pool code throughout
source tree.
3) Remove use of RND_ENABLED in device drivers as microoptimization to
avoid expensive operations on disabled entropy sources; make the
rnd_add calls do this directly so all callers benefit.
4) Fix bug in recent rnd_add_data()/rnd_add_uint32() changes that might
have lead to slight entropy overestimation for some sources.
5) Add new source types for environmental sensors, power sensors, VM
system events, and skew between clocks, with a sample implementation
for each.
ok releng to go in before the branch due to the difficulty of later
pullup (widespread #ifdef removal and moved files). Tested with release
builds on amd64 and evbarm and live testing on amd64.
- force usb to send a zero length packet on the end of usb packets
which happen to be a multple of 64 bytes, to indicate end of packet.

- style change
When getting the CDC Ethernet descriptor, search for the right
descriptor type. Avoid ignoring return value of ether_aton_r().
Never return ENETRESET from cdce_ioctl().
This fixes the "cannot assign link-local address" issue.
Deduplicate a local Ethernet CRC32 function. When appending
CRC32 for Zaurus ensure it is in a consistent endianess.
- better named one
- not suffering from buffer oveflow
- simpler
- handling different separators
- returning error codes for errors
Some ideas from one posted on tech-net by Jonathan A. Kollasch
#if NBPFILTER is no longer required in the client. This change
doesn't yet add support for loading bpf as a module, since drivers
can register before bpf is attached. However, callers of bpf can
now be modularized.
Dynamically loadable bpf could probably be done fairly easily with
coordination from the stub driver and the real driver by registering
attachments in the stub before the real driver is loaded and doing
a handoff. ... and I'm not going to ponder the depths of unload
here.
Tested with i386/MONOLITHIC, modified MONOLITHIC without bpf and rump.
1. expand the USB_ATTACH_SETUP macro (requested by jmcneill)
2. reorder the attach function so that the first thing it does is print
newlines.
3. after this, we can call usbd_devinfo_alloc(), which polls the device
allowing a context switch, and aprint_normal() the device information.
this avoids problems where autoconf messages are getting mixed up.
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.
the opportunity to handle an ioctl before generic ifioctl handling
occurs. This will ease extending the kernel and sharing of code
between drivers.
First steps: Make the signature of ifioctl_common() match struct
ifinet->if_ioctl. Convert SIOCSIFCAP and SIOCSIFMTU to the new
ifioctl() regime, throughout the kernel.
matching (and handling) a whole device and those which match an
interface only. This will allow to enforce some rules, eg that
the former don't use interface information for matching or that the
latter don't modify global device state.
The previous way left too much freedom do the drivers which led to
inconsistencies and abuse.
For now, I've not changed locators and submatch rules, this will
happen later.
There should not be any change in behaviour, except in the case of
some drivers which did behave inconsistently:
if_atu, if_axe, uep: matched the configured device in the interface
stage, but did configuration again. I've converted them to match
in the device stage.
ustir, utoppy: matched in the interface stage, but only against
vendor/device information, and used any configuration/interface
without checking. Changed to match in device stage, and added
some simple code to configure and use the first interface.
If you have one of those devices, please test!
