is equal to one of the host's IPv6 addresses, do not stop at setting
the route's interface to lo0, but also clear the route's RTF_CLONED
flag, if it is present, so that ip6_input() will accept packets
sent to that destination. This is necessary because ip6_input()
will not accept a packet if it looks up the packet's destination
and finds a route with RTF_CLONED set.
I believe this will help IPv6 networking survive '/etc/rc.d/network
restart'. See the problem report, kern/33279.
parentheses in return statements.
Cosmetic: don't open-code TAILQ_FOREACH().
Cosmetic: change types of variables to avoid oodles of casts: in
in6_src.c, avoid casts by changing several route_in6 pointers
to struct route pointers. Remove unnecessary casts to caddr_t
elsewhere.
Pave the way for eliminating address family-specific route caches:
soon, struct route will not embed a sockaddr, but it will hold
a reference to an external sockaddr, instead. We will set the
destination sockaddr using rtcache_setdst(). (I created a stub
for it, but it isn't used anywhere, yet.) rtcache_free() will
free the sockaddr. I have extracted from rtcache_free() a helper
subroutine, rtcache_clear(). rtcache_clear() will "forget" a
cached route, but it will not forget the destination by releasing
the sockaddr. I use rtcache_clear() instead of rtcache_free()
in rtcache_update(), because rtcache_update() is not supposed
to forget the destination.
Constify:
1 Introduce const accessor for route->ro_dst, rtcache_getdst().
2 Constify the 'dst' argument to ifnet->if_output(). This
led me to constify a lot of code called by output routines.
3 Constify the sockaddr argument to protosw->pr_ctlinput. This
led me to constify a lot of code called by ctlinput routines.
4 Introduce const macros for converting from a generic sockaddr
to family-specific sockaddrs, e.g., sockaddr_in: satocsin6,
satocsin, et cetera.
Use the usual idiom for iterating over a list where we might
_REMOVE() entries,
for (x = TAILQ_FIRST(...); x != NULL; x = nx) {
nx = TAILQ_NEXT(x, ...);
...
}
Also, add ioctls SIOCGIFADDRPREF/SIOCSIFADDRPREF to get/set preference
numbers for addresses. Make ifconfig(8) set/display preference
numbers.
To activate source-address selection policies in your kernel, add
'options IPSELSRC' to your kernel configuration.
Miscellaneous changes in support of source-address selection:
1 Factor out some common code, producing rt_replace_ifa().
2 Abbreviate a for-loop with TAILQ_FOREACH().
3 Add the predicates on IPv4 addresses IN_LINKLOCAL() and
IN_PRIVATE(), that are true for link-local unicast
(169.254/16) and RFC1918 private addresses, respectively.
Add the predicate IN_ANY_LOCAL() that is true for link-local
unicast and multicast.
4 Add IPv4-specific interface attach/detach routines,
in_domifattach and in_domifdetach, which build #ifdef
IPSELSRC.
See in_getifa(9) for a more thorough description of source-address
selection policy.

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

nd6_llinfo_settimer immediately.
This should cause no functional change. I've been running this
patch for months.
- 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.
