These functions are defined on unsigned int. The generic name
min/max should not silently truncate to 32 bits on 64-bit systems.
This is purely a name change -- no functional change intended.
HOWEVER! Some subsystems have
#define min(a, b) ((a) < (b) ? (a) : (b))
#define max(a, b) ((a) > (b) ? (a) : (b))
even though our standard name for that is MIN/MAX. Although these
may invite multiple evaluation bugs, these do _not_ cause integer
truncation.
To avoid `fixing' these cases, I first changed the name in libkern,
and then compile-tested every file where min/max occurred in order to
confirm that it failed -- and thus confirm that nothing shadowed
min/max -- before changing it.
I have left a handful of bootloaders that are too annoying to
compile-test, and some dead code:
cobalt ews4800mips hp300 hppa ia64 luna68k vax
acorn32/if_ie.c (not included in any kernels)
macppc/if_gm.c (superseded by gem(4))
It should be easy to fix the fallout once identified -- this way of
doing things fails safe, and the goal here, after all, is to _avoid_
silent integer truncations, not introduce them.
Maybe one day we can reintroduce min/max as type-generic things that
never silently truncate. But we should avoid doing that for a while,
so that existing code has a chance to be detected by the compiler for
conversion to uimin/uimax without changing the semantics until we can
properly audit it all. (Who knows, maybe in some cases integer
truncation is actually intended!)
ip6_undefer_csum -> in6_undefer_cksum
in6_delayed_cksum -> in6_undefer_cksum_tcpudp
The two previous names were inconsistent and misleading.
Put the two functions into in6_offload.c. Add comments to explain what
we're doing.
Same as IPv4.
Because this is in a module, apparently, that means that netinet_in_offload.h
needs to get installed in /usr/include, so do that as well.
Feel free to fix this in a better way...

The same could be done for IPv6.
compatibility with BIOC[GS]SEESENT ioctl. The userland interface is the same
as FreeBSD.
This change also fixes a bug that the direction is misunderstand on some
environment by passing the direction to bpf_mtap*() instead of checking
m->m_pkthdr.rcvif.
define TCPOLEN_SACK makes it unsigned, and the comparison in the while()
is unsigned too. That's not the expected behavior, the original code
wanted a signed comparison.
It's pretty easy to make 'hlen' go negative and trigger a buffer overflow.
This bug was reported 8 years ago by Lucio Albornoz in PR/44059.
The call to cprng_fast32() requires that per-cpu data has been initialized
by corng_fast_init(), which doesn't get called until after the first part
of auto-configuration is done, long after pfattach() calls cprng_fast32().
Fixed PR kern/52620
XXX This needs pull-up to the -8 branch.
The benefits of this change are:
- The flow is consistent with IPv4 (and FreeBSD and OpenBSD)
- old: ip6_output => nd6_output (do ND if needed) => L2_output (lookup a stored cache)
- new: ip6_output => L2_output (lookup a cache. Do ND if cache not found)
- We can remove some workarounds in nd6_output
- We can move L2 specific operations to their own place
- The performance slightly improves because one cache lookup is reduced
In the MP-safe world, a rtentry stemming from a rtcache can be freed at any
points. So we need to protect rtentries somehow say by reference couting or
passive references. Regardless of the method, we need to call some release
function of a rtentry after using it.
The change adds a new function rtcache_unref to release a rtentry. At this
point, this function does nothing because for now we don't add a reference
to a rtentry when we get one from a rtcache. We will add something useful
in a further commit.
This change is a part of changes for MP-safe routing table. It is separated
to avoid one big change that makes difficult to debug by bisecting.
The motivation is the same as the mbuf's rcvif case; avoid having a pointer
of an ifnet object in ip_moptions and ip6_moptions, which is not MP-safe.
ip_moptions and ip6_moptions can be stored in a PCB for inet or inet6
that's life time is different from ifnet one and so an ifnet object can be
disappeared anytime we get it via them. Thus we need to look up an ifnet
object by if_index every time for safe.
Having a pointer of an interface in a mbuf isn't safe if we remove big
kernel locks; an interface object (ifnet) can be destroyed anytime in any
packet processing and accessing such object via a pointer is racy. Instead
we have to get an object from the interface collection (ifindex2ifnet) via
an interface index (if_index) that is stored to a mbuf instead of an
pointer.
The change provides two APIs: m_{get,put}_rcvif_psref that use psref(9)
for sleep-able critical sections and m_{get,put}_rcvif that use
pserialize(9) for other critical sections. The change also adds another
API called m_get_rcvif_NOMPSAFE, that is NOT MP-safe and for transition
moratorium, i.e., it is intended to be used for places where are not
planned to be MP-ified soon.
The change adds some overhead due to psref to performance sensitive paths,
however the overhead is not serious, 2% down at worst.
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.
No functional change.
The change ensures that ifnet objects in the ifnet list aren't freed during
list iterations by using pserialize(9) and psref(9).
Note that the change adds a pslist(9) for ifnet but doesn't remove the
original ifnet list (ifnet_list) to avoid breaking kvm(3) users. We
shouldn't use the original list in the kernel anymore.
We no longer need to change rtentry below if_output.
The change makes it clear where rtentries are changed (or not)
and helps forthcoming locking (os psrefing) rtentries.
- Replace ipintrq and ip6intrq with the pktqueue mechanism.
- Eliminate kernel-lock from ipintr() and ip6intr().
- Some preparation work to push softnet_lock out of ipintr().
Discussed on tech-net.
designated initializers.
I have not built every extant kernel so I have probably broken at
least one build; however I've also found and fixed some wrong
cdevsw/bdevsw entries so even if so I think we come out ahead.
