based on the existing net/if_spppsubr.c stuff.
While there are completely userland (bpf based) implementations available,
those have a vastly larger per packet overhead thus causing major CPU
overhead and higher latency. On an i386 base router, running a 486DX at 50MHz
my line (768kBit/s downstream) was limited to something (varying) between 10
and 20 kByte/s effective download rate. With this implementation I get full
bandwidth (~85kByte/s).
This is client side only. Arguably the right way to add full PPPoE support
(including server side) would be a variation of the ppp line discipline and
appropriate modifications to pppd. I promise every help I can give to anyone
doing that - but I needed this realy fast. Besids, on low memory NAT boxes
with typically a single PPPoE connection, this implementation is more
lightweight than a pppd based one, which nicely fits my needs.
In this mode, the PPP packets start with the protocol identifier and don't
have any explicit framing (which may be added by the lower level driver).
Make input/output statistics a little bit more correct by adding a hardware
driver adjustable framing length for each packet (instead of the constant
value "3" used before).
While there, bump authentication name length from 32 to 48 (I have a
connection where I need more than 32). XXX - this should not be artificialy
limited at all.
tree, which allows a packet with Ethernet headers already present to
run through the ALTQ packet classifier. This is needed in order to
suport ALTQ on VLAN and bridge devices.
adds rt_parent to link parent from child (like NRL did, ours do refcnt
rt_refcnt properly).
bsdi rt_walkbranch would speedup the processing, but since the code will not
be visited too frequently, the current code (with rt_walktree) should be okay.
let static routes overwrite cloned routes, as cloned routes can come back again
if necessary. behavior same as freebsd/bsdi, code partially from bsdi42.
(NRL rt->rt_parent was not added)
should fix PR 11916 and maybe some other PRs with ARP behavior.
recompilation of usr.sbin/route6d is suggested.
have sys/net/route.c:rtrequest1(), which takes rt_addrinfo * as the argument.
pass rt_addrinfo all the way down to rtrequest, and ifa->ifa_rtrequest.
3rd arg of ifa->ifa_rtrequest is now rt_addrinfo * instead of sockaddr *
(almost noone is using it anyways).
benefit: the follwoing command now works. previously we need two route(8)
invocations, "add" then "change".
# route add -inet6 default ::1 -ifp gif0
remove unsafe typecast in rtrequest(), from rtentry * to sockaddr *. it was
introduced by 4.3BSD-reno and never corrected.
XXX is eon_rtrequest() change correct regarding to 3rd arg?
eon_rtrequest() and rtrequest() were incorrect since 4.3BSD-reno,
so i do not have correct answer in the source code.
someone with more clue about netiso-over-ip, please help.
the link level name for the interface (ifp->if_sadl) is allocated
before ifp->if_addrlen is initialized, which could lead to allocating
too little space for the link level address.
Do this by splitting allocation of the link level name out of
if_attach() and into if_alloc_sadl(), which is normally called
by functions like ether_ifattach(). Network interfaces which
don't have a link-specific attach routine must call if_alloc_sadl()
themselves (example: gif).
Link level names are freed by if_free_sadl(), which can be called
from e.g. ether_ifdetach(). Drivers never need call if_free_sadl()
themselves as if_detach() will do it if it is not already done.
While here, add the ability to pass an AF_LINK address to
SIOCSIFADDR in ether_ioctl() (this is what caused me to notice
the problem that the above fixes).
Defer output processing to the software interrupt.
Note, that in the process of doing this, I discovered several
very broken things about this driver, which are not fixed with
this commit. It should work as well as it previously did, but
this code could be seriously improved. As soon as I can find
my second Metricom radio, I'll give it a proper shakedown.
Once we have a complete frame, schedule a STRIP software interrupt,
and manipulate ipintrq from there. This will allow us to clean up
the use of splimp() in this file later.
Rumors say there are archs without ISA busses, so avoid including
(uneccesarily) isa bus headers in MI files.
XXX this is the minimal solution, layer interface calls will have
XXX to be revisited later
"key" and a "dlt", use a "type" (PFIL_TYPE_{AF,IFNET} for now) and
a val/ptr appropriate for that type. This allows for more future
flexibility with the pfil_hook mechanism.
and bpf_change_type() to take just a pointer to the ifnet, rather than
a pointer to the ifnet and a pointer to a member of the ifnet (the bpf
pointer).
We'll let this ride on the Dec 12 1.5N version bump.
that reference them don't have to slurp in all of the BPF headers.
Define a new generic RAWAF type that is like DLT_RAW, but isn't specific
to IP (the macro takes an AF_* constant as an argument to generate the
actual type).
mandatory for IPv6 (so we can't just validate by using connected pcb - we need
to allow traffic from unconnected pcb to do pmtud).
- if the traffic is validated by xx_ctlinput, allow up to "hiwat" pmtud
route entries.
- if the traffic was not validated by xx_ctlinput, allow up to "lowat" pmtud
route entries (there's upper limit, so bad guys cannot blow up our routing
table).
sync with kame
XXX need to think again about default hiwat/lowat value.
XXX victim selection to help starvation case
Still use memcpy in receiving because we must use buffer fill mode
and many packets may share single receive buffer.
XXX: Workaround(?) for CXD3222: it fails to DMA for selfid packet according
to code placement. I'm not sure about the reason (cache? timing? bug?).
Fixed the bug: transmitter sometimes stop and OACTIVE bit of if_fw
never be cleared.
Fixed the bug: freeing free buffer.
Enable ieee1394_drain and ieee1394_watchdog for loss of fragment.
(IFF_UP | IFF_BROADCAST | IFF_RUNNING | IFF_ALLMULTI | IFF_SIMPLEX)
Also, put the ifp->if_opackets++ at the rigth place so that the counter is
incremented even when the parent is OACTIVE.
Fix a bug in vlan_input where the ethernet src and dst addrs would not be
correct because we only memmove() only ifv->ifv_encaplen instead of
sizeof(struct ether_header).
- All packets are passed to PFIL_HOOKS as they come off the wire, i.e.
fields in protocol headers in network order, etc.
- Allow for multiple hooks to be registered, using a "key" and a "dlt".
The "dlt" is a BPF data link type, indicating what type of header is
present.
- INET and INET6 register with key == AF_INET or AF_INET6, and
dlt == DLT_RAW.
- PFIL_HOOKS now take an argument for the filter hook, and mbuf **,
an ifnet *, and a direction (PFIL_IN or PFIL_OUT), thus making them
less IP (really, IP Filter) centric.
Maintain compatibility with IP Filter by adding wrapper functions for
IP Filter.
