between protocol handlers.
ipsec socket pointers, ipsec decryption/auth information, tunnel
decapsulation information are in my mind - there can be several other usage.
at this moment, we use this for ipsec socket pointer passing. this will
avoid reuse of m->m_pkthdr.rcvif in ipsec code.
due to the change, MHLEN will be decreased by sizeof(void *) - for example,
for i386, MHLEN was 100 bytes, but is now 96 bytes.
we may want to increase MSIZE from 128 to 256 for some of our architectures.
take caution if you use it for keeping some data item for long period
of time - use extra caution on M_PREPEND() or m_adj(), as they may result
in loss of m->m_pkthdr.aux pointer (and mbuf leak).
this will bump kernel version.
(as discussed in tech-net, tested in kame tree)
pfil information, instead, struct protosw now contains a structure
which caontains list heads, etc. The per-protosw pfil struct is passed
to pfil_hook_get(), along with an in/out flag to get the head of the
relevant filter list. This has been done for only IPv4 and IPv6, at
present, with these patches only enabling filtering for IPPROTO_IP and
IPPROTO_IPV6, although it is possible to have tcp/udp, etc, dedicated
filters now also. The ipfilter code has been updated to only filter
IPv4 packets - next major release of ipfilter is required for ipv6.
- interop issues in ipcomp is fixed
- padding type (after ESP) is configurable
- key database memory management (need more fixes)
- policy specification is revisited
XXX m->m_pkthdr.rcvif is still overloaded - hope to fix it soon
code, from netbsd-current repository.
#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...
AF_INET6 wildcard listening socket. heavily documented in ip6(4).
net.inet6.ip6.bindv6only defines default value. default is 1.
"options INET6_BINDV6ONLY" removes any code fragment that supports
IPV6_BINDV6ONLY == 0 case (not defopt'ed as use of this is rare).
due to massive changes in KAME side.
- IPv6 output goes through nd6_output
- faith can capture IPv4 packets as well - you can run IPv4-to-IPv6 translator
using heavily modified DNS servers
- per-interface statistics (required for IPv6 MIB)
- interface autoconfig is revisited
- udp input handling has a big change for mapped address support.
- introduce in4_cksum() for non-overwriting checksumming
- introduce m_pulldown()
- neighbor discovery cleanups/improvements
- netinet/in.h strictly conforms to RFC2553 (no extra defs visible to userland)
- IFA_STATS is fixed a bit (not tested)
- and more more more.
TODO:
- cleanup os-independency #ifdef
- avoid rcvif dual use (for IPsec) to help ifdetach
(sorry for jumbo commit, I can't separate this any more...)
