the callout if needed so frees are not delayed too much.
syn_cache_timer(): we can't call syn_cache_put() here any more,
so move code deleted from syn_cache_put() here.
Avoid KASSERT() in kern_timeout.c because pool_put() is called from
ipintr context, as reported in

they are) avoid repeated kernel_lock/unlock by using an intrq on the stack.
About 5%-10% better from run to run, on my *very* simpleminded test. Can't
possibly be worse.
the driver output path (that is, ifp->if_output()). In the case of
entry through the socket code, we are fine, because pru_usrreq takes
KERNEL_LOCK. However, there are a few other ways to cause output
which require protection:
1) direct calls to tcp_output() in tcp_input()
2) fast-forwarding code (ip_flow) -- protected elsewise
against itself by the softnet lock.
3) *Possibly* the ARP code. I have currently persuaded
myself that it is safe because of how it's called.
4) Possibly the ICMP code.
This change addresses #1 and #2.
hardware interrupts for the length of time it took for all dequeued
packets to flow up the stack (on multiprocessors only). Initial testing
shows performance impact is minimal -- since this temporary fix actually
means taking/releasing the kernel lock per-packet, that seems
acceptable.
Holding the kernel lock across the ip_input() call duplicated the
exclusion intended to be provided by the socket locks/softnet lock
(same lock, for INET/INET6 sockets) and could mask serious bugs. Several
hours' testing didn't turn any up but I'd be surprised if some don't now
appear.
Damon Permezel noticed the problem. Temporary fix suggested by matt@.
#if NBPFILTER is no longer required in the client. This change
doesn't yet add support for loading bpf as a module, since drivers
can register before bpf is attached. However, callers of bpf can
now be modularized.
Dynamically loadable bpf could probably be done fairly easily with
coordination from the stub driver and the real driver by registering
attachments in the stub before the real driver is loaded and doing
a handoff. ... and I'm not going to ponder the depths of unload
here.
Tested with i386/MONOLITHIC, modified MONOLITHIC without bpf and rump.
Pfsync interface exposes change in the pf(4) over a pseudo-interface, and can
be used to synchronise different pf.

most cases, use a proper constructor. For proplib, give a local
equivalent of POOL_INIT for the kernel object implementation. This
way the code structure can be preserved, and a local link set is
not hazardous anyway (unless proplib is split to several modules,
but that'll be the day).
tested by booting a kernel in qemu and compile-testing i386/ALL
addresses. Make the kernel support SIOC[SG]IFADDRPREF for IPv6
interface addresses.
In in6ifa_ifpforlinklocal(), consult preference numbers before
making an otherwise arbitrary choice of in6_ifaddr. Otherwise,
preference numbers are *not* consulted by the kernel, but that will
be rather easy for somebody with a little bit of free time to fix.
Please note that setting the preference number for a link-local
IPv6 address does not work right, yet, but that ought to be fixed
soon.
In support of the changes above,
1 Add a method to struct domain for "externalizing" a sockaddr, and
provide an implementation for IPv6. Expect more work in this area: it
may be more proper to say that the IPv6 implementation "internalizes"
a sockaddr. Add sockaddr_externalize().
2 Add a subroutine, sofamily(), that returns a struct socket's address
family or AF_UNSPEC.
3 Make a lot of IPv4-specific code generic, and move it from
sys/netinet/ to sys/net/ for re-use by IPv6 parts of the kernel and
ifconfig(8).
name and address. Room for an address will do. This should fix
a regression in 'arp -s ...' on interfaces such as xennet0 with
unusually long names.
I will request a pull-up to netbsd-5.
The IP_MINTTL option may be used on SOCK_STREAM sockets to discard
packets with a TTL lower than the option value. This can be used to
implement the Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (GTSM) according to
RFC 3682.
OK'ed by christos@.
If the IP_RECVTTL option is enabled on a SOCK_DGRAM socket, the
recvmsg(2) call will return the TTL of the received datagram. The
msg_control field in the msghdr structure points to a buffer that
contains a cmsghdr structure followed by the TTL value.
Modeled after FreeBSD implementation.

will be processed when the radix "subsystem" is initialized -- all
users must be attached before any inits to know the max keylength.
Use of link sets is no longer required, and only attached domains
need to be considered.
