as necessary:
* Implement a new mbuf utility routine, m_copyup(), is is like
m_pullup(), except that it always prepends and copies, rather
than only doing so if the desired length is larger than m->m_len.
m_copyup() also allows an offset into the destination mbuf, which
allows space for packet headers, in the forwarding case.
* Add *_HDR_ALIGNED_P() macros for IP, IPv6, ICMP, and IGMP. These
macros expand to 1 if __NO_STRICT_ALIGNMENT is defined, so that
architectures which do not have strict alignment constraints don't
pay for the test or visit the new align-if-needed path.
* Use the new macros to check if a header needs to be aligned, or to
assert that it already is, as appropriate.
Note: This code is still somewhat experimental. However, the new
code path won't be visited if individual device drivers continue
to guarantee that packets are delivered to layer 3 already properly
aligned (which are rules that are already in use).
all open TCP connections in tcp_slowtimo() (which is called 2x
per second). It's fairly rare for TCP timers to actually fire,
so saving this list traversal is good, especially if you want
to scale to thousands of open connections.
and call it directly from tcp_slowtimo() (via a table) rather
than going through tcp_userreq().
This will allow us to call TCP timers directly from callouts,
in a future revision.
Instead of incrementing t_idle and t_rtt in tcp_slowtimo(), we now
take a timstamp (via tcp_now) and use subtraction to compute the
delta when we actually need it (using unsigned arithmetic so that
tcp_now wrapping is handled correctly).
Based on similar changes in FreeBSD.
ISS attacks (which we already fend off quite well).
1. First-cut implementation of RFC1948, Steve Bellovin's cryptographic
hash method of generating TCP ISS values. Note, this code is experimental
and disabled by default (experimental enough that I don't export the
variable via sysctl yet, either). There are a couple of issues I'd
like to discuss with Steve, so this code should only be used by people
who really know what they're doing.
2. Per a recent thread on Bugtraq, it's possible to determine a system's
uptime by snooping the RFC1323 TCP timestamp options sent by a host; in
4.4BSD, timestamps are created by incrementing the tcp_now variable
at 2 Hz; there's even a company out there that uses this to determine
web server uptime. According to Newsham's paper "The Problem With
Random Increments", while NetBSD's TCP ISS generation method is much
better than the "random increment" method used by FreeBSD and OpenBSD,
it is still theoretically possible to mount an attack against NetBSD's
method if the attacker knows how many times the tcp_iss_seq variable
has been incremented. By not leaking uptime information, we can make
that much harder to determine. So, we avoid the leak by giving each
TCP connection a timebase of 0.
entering rtentry's for hosts we're not actually communicating
with.
Do this by invoking the ctlinput for the protocol, which is
responsible for validating the ICMP message:
* TCP -- Lookup the connection based on the address/port
pairs in the ICMP message.
* AH/ESP -- Lookup the SA based on the SPI in the ICMP message.
If validation succeeds, ctlinput is responsible for calling
icmp_mtudisc(). icmp_mtudisc() then invokes callbacks registered
by protocols (such as TCP) which want to take some sort of special
action when a path's MTU changes. For TCP, this is where we now
refresh cached routes and re-enter slow-start.
As a side-effect, this fixes the problem where TCP would not be
notified when a path's MTU changed if AH/ESP were being used.
XXX Note, this is only a fix for the IPv4 case. For the IPv6
XXX case, we need to wait for the KAME folks.

- 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

RTM_IFINFO is now 0xf, 0xe is RTM_OIFINFO which returns the old (if_msghdr14)
struct with 32bit counters (binary compat, conditioned on COMPAT_14).
Same for sysctl: node 3 is renamed NET_RT_OIFLIST, NET_RT_IFLIST is now node 4.
Change rt_msg1() to add an mbuf to the mbuf chain instead of just panic()
when the message is larger than MHLEN.
MSS advertisement must always be:
max(if mtu) - ip hdr siz - tcp hdr siz
We violated this in the previous code so it was fixed.
tcp_mss_to_advertise() now takes af (af on wire) as its argument,
to compute right ip hdr siz.
tcp_segsize() will take care of IPsec header size.
One thing I'm not really sure is how to handle IPsec header size in
*rxsegsizep (inbound segment size estimation).
The current code subtracts possible *outbound* IPsec size from *rxsegsizep,
hoping that the peer is using the same IPsec policy as me.
It may not be applicable, could TCP gulu please comment...
Stale syn cache entries are useless because none of them will be used
if there is no listening socket, as tcp_input looks up listening socket by
in_pcblookup*() before looking into syn cache.
This fixes race condition due to dangling socket pointer from syn cache
entries to listening socket (this was introduced when ipsec is merged in).
This should preserve currently implemented behavior (but not 4.4BSD
behavior prior to syn cache).
Tested in KAME repository before commit, but we'd better run some
regression tests.
when ip header and tcp header are not adjacent to each other
(i.e. when ip6 options are attached).
To test this, try
telnet @::1@::1 port
toward a port without responding server. Prior to the fix, the kernel will
generate broken RST packet.

In my understanding no code here is subject to export control so it
should be safe.
where one side can think a connection exists, where the other side thinks
the connection was never established.
The original problem was first reported by Ty Sarna in PR #5909. The
original fix I made to the code didn't cover all cases. The problem this
fix addresses was reported by Christoph Badura via private e-mail.
Many thanks to Bill Sommerfeld for helping me to test this code, and
for finding a subtle bug.
- Don't use tcp_respond(), instead create the tcp/ip header from scratch,
and send it ourself.
- Reuse the mbuf that carried the SYN, or allocate one if that is not
available.
- Cache the route we look up to do the Path MTU Discovery check, and
transfer the reference to that route to the inpcb when the connection
completes.
* Macro'ize a small, but often repeated code fragment.
syn_cache_unreach() should remove the entry, or just continue on.
Algorithm is to only remove the entry if we've had more than one unreach
error and have retransmitted 3 or more times. This prevents the following
scenario, as noted in PR #5909 (PR from Ty Sarna, scenario from
Charles Hannum):
* Host A sends a SYN.
* Host A retransmits the SYN.
* Host B gets the first SYN and sends a SYN-ACK.
* Host B gets the second SYN and sends a SYN-ACK.
* One of the SYN-ACK bounces with an
ICMP unreachable, causing the `SYN cache' entry to be
removed with no notification.
* Host A receives the other SYN-ACK, sends an ACK, and goes to
ESTABLISHED state.
Should fix PR #5909.
- Don't use home-grown queue manipulation. Use <sys/queue.h> instead. The
data structures are a little larger, but we are otherwise wasting the
memory chunk anyway (we're already a 64-byte malloc bucket).
- Fix a bug in the cache-is-full case: if the oldest element removed from
the first non-empty bucket was the only element in the bucket, the
bucket wouldn't be removed from the bucket cache, causing queue corruption
later.
- Optimize the syn cache timers by using PRT timers rather than home-grown
decrement-and-propagate timers.
This code is now a fair bit smaller, and significantly easier to read
and understand.
