case:
<driver>_ioctl(ifp, SIOCSIFADDR, struct ifreq *)
where it should be calling:
<driver>_ioctl(ifp, SIOCSIFADDR, struct ifaddr *)
and "Bad Things Happen (TM)"
Returning an error is good enough because none of the drivers handle INET6.
The problem here is that handling SIOCSIFADDR is a kludge. The ioctl gets
passed a struct ifreq * from userland, but then in the control routines
SIOCSIFADDR is handled "specially", and we call:
ifp->if_ioctl(ifp, SIOCSIFADDR, struct ifaddr *)
directly with the ifaddr we computed for that interface. It would be nice
if we called the ioctl routine if the original struct ifreq, and computed
the ifaddr, or passed it directly. This way all the ioctls would be treated
the same way, and we would not have the problem of pointer overloading.
RFC4191
- supports host-side router-preference
RFC3542
- if DAD fails on a interface, disables IPv6 operation on the
interface
- don't advertise MLD report before DAD finishes
Others
- fixes integer overflow for valid and preferred lifetimes
- improves timer granularity for MLD, using callout-timer.
- reflects rtadvd's IPv6 host variable information into kernel
(router only)
- adds a sysctl option to enable/disable pMTUd for multicast
packets
- performs NUD on PPP/GRE interface by default
- Redirect works regardless of ip6_accept_rtadv
- removes RFC1885-related code

- most of the kernel code will not care about the actual encoding of
scope zone IDs and won't touch "s6_addr16[1]" directly.
- similarly, most of the kernel code will not care about link-local
scoped addresses as a special case.
- scope boundary check will be stricter. For example, the current
*BSD code allows a packet with src=::1 and dst=(some global IPv6
address) to be sent outside of the node, if the application do:
s = socket(AF_INET6);
bind(s, "::1");
sendto(s, some_global_IPv6_addr);
This is clearly wrong, since ::1 is only meaningful within a single
node, but the current implementation of the *BSD kernel cannot
reject this attempt.
- and, while there, don't try to remove the ff02::/32 interface route
entry in in6_ifdetach() as it's already gone.
This also includes some level of support for the standard source
address selection algorithm defined in RFC3484, which will be
completed on in the future.

(2) ifindex2ifnet could become NULL when interface gets destroyed,
since when we have introduced dynamically-created interfaces. from kame
malloc types into a structure, a pointer to which is passed around,
instead of an int constant. Allow the limit to be adjusted when the

wrt prefix management;
- always earn a reference to the prefix when an address is configured
(by ioctl).
- always delete the prefix when an address that has the last referene
is manually removed.
The change should solve the problem raised in KAME-snap 6989.
sync w/kame
behavior changes:
- two iocts used by ndp(8) are now obsolete (backward compat provided).
use sysctl path instead.
- lo0 does not get ::1 automatically. it will get ::1 when lo0 comes up.
normal operation (/var can get filled up by flodding bogus packets).
sysctl net.inet6.icmp6.nd6_debug will turn on diagnostic messages.
(#define ND6_DEBUG will turn it on by default)
improve stats in ND6 code.
lots of synchronziation with kame (including comments and cometic ones).
Current status:
Only OHCI chip is supported (fwohci).
ping (IPv4) works with Sony's implementation (SmartConnect) on Win98.
sometimes works but not stable.
Not implemented yet:
IRM (Isochronous Resource Manager) functionality.
Link layer fragmentation.
Topology map.
More to do:
clean ups
MCAP
charactor device part
dhcp
There is no entry in GENERIC config file yet.

multiple addresses from same prefix, onto single interface. PR 10427.
more info:
- 4.4BSD did not check return code from in_ifinit() at all.
4.4BSD does not support multiple address from same prefix.
- past KAME change passed in{,6}_ifinit() to upwards, toward ifconfig(8).
the behavior is filed as PR 10427.
- the commit inhibits EEXIST from rtinit(), hence partially recovers old
4.4BSD behavior.
- the right thing to happen is to properly support multiple address assignment
from the same prefix. KAME tree has more extensive change, however, it needs
much more time to get stabilized (rtentry refcnt change can cause serious
issue, we really need to bake it before bring it to netbsd)
address/routing table too much).
in6_ifloop_request()
not to request rtrequest to return an rtentry except for the ADD
operation, in order to avoid misdecreasing the refcnt (which might
cause leak of rtentry)
- be persistent on initializing interfaces, even if there's manually-
assigned linklocal, multicast/whatever initialization is necessary.
- do not cache mac addr in the kernel. grab mac addr from existing cards
(this is important when you swap ethernet cards back and forth)
now ppp6 works just fine!
call in6_ifattach() on ATM PVC interface to assign link-local, using
hardware MAC address as seed.
(the change is in sync with kame tree).
timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
it was a bit too strong, and forbids multiple addresses from
same prefix to be assigned.
now the behavior is the same as previous - memory leak on interface address
addition failure.

- remove net.inet6.ip6.nd6_proxyall. introduce proxy NDP code works
just like "arp -s".
- revise source address selection.
be more careful about use of yet-to-be-valid addresses as source.
- as router, transmit ICMP6_DST_UNREACH_BEYONDSCOPE against out-of-scope
packet forwarding attempt.
- path MTU discovery takes care of routing header properly.
- be more strict about mbuf chain parsing.

obsolete the following two ioctls, they do not fit well against IPv6 addressing
model. (the kernel support them for some period of time, we'll remove them
in the near future)
SIOCSIFDSTADDR_IN6
SIOCSIFNETMASK_IN6
kludge entries. the situation would occur if you take the following steps:
- join multicast groups (default ones like linklocal all-node is fine)
- remove all IPv6 addresses manually
- remove pcmcia card
to thorpej: pls call in6_ifdetach() when PRU_PURGEIF is raised (just before
removing ifnet). it should do the right thing (unable to perform real test
though)
when the last IPv6 address on an interface is get removed.
in6_ifattach() configures it and in6_ifdetach() removes it.
XXX last part of in6_purgeaddr looks very ugly, but there's no event for
"interface detach" (events are for "address detach").
although this version has been changed somewhat:
- reference counting on ifaddrs isn't as complete as Bill's original
work was. This is hard to get right, and we should attack one
protocol at a time.
- This doesn't do reference counting or dynamic allocation of ifnets yet.
- This version introduces a new PRU -- PRU_PURGEADDR, which is used to
purge an ifaddr from a protocol. The old method Bill used didn't work
on all protocols, and it only worked on some because it was Very Lucky.
This mostly works ... i.e. works for my USB Ethernet, except for a dangling
ifaddr reference left by the IPv6 code; have not yet tracked this down.

#ifdef'ed version is always available from ftp.kame.net.
XXX please do not make too many diff-unfriendly changes, we'll need to take
bunch of diffs on upgrade...
