interferes with the reference counting done by ifpromisc(), and is
essentially impossible to get the semantics correct if we allow this
flag to be directly toggled.
No programs should really be affected by this; IFF_PROMISC is basically
useless without bpf, anyway, and bpf still provides a way to set
promiscuous mode on an interface (which uses ifpromisc()).
parties can easily know the state of a link.
- Define an interface announcement message for the routing socket so that
routing daemons and other interested parties know when an interface
is attached/detached.
although this version has been changed somewhat:
- reference counting on ifaddrs isn't as complete as Bill's original
work was. This is hard to get right, and we should attack one
protocol at a time.
- This doesn't do reference counting or dynamic allocation of ifnets yet.
- This version introduces a new PRU -- PRU_PURGEADDR, which is used to
purge an ifaddr from a protocol. The old method Bill used didn't work
on all protocols, and it only worked on some because it was Very Lucky.
This mostly works ... i.e. works for my USB Ethernet, except for a dangling
ifaddr reference left by the IPv6 code; have not yet tracked this down.
due to massive changes in KAME side.
- 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
(sorry for jumbo commit, I can't separate this any more...)
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.
deal correctly with more than 32767 routes out an interface.
Should close PR 7148 regarding problems when ifs_refcnt overflows.
Bump kernel version from 1.4L to 1.4M.
(Sorry for a big commit, I can't separate this into several pieces...)
Pls check sys/netinet6/TODO and sys/netinet6/IMPLEMENTATION for details.
- sys/kern: do not assume single mbuf, accept chained mbuf on passing
data from userland to kernel (or other way round).
- "midway" ATM card: ATM PVC pseudo device support, like those done in ALTQ
package (ftp://ftp.csl.sony.co.jp/pub/kjc/).
- sys/netinet/tcp*: IPv4/v6 dual stack tcp support.
- sys/netinet/{ip6,icmp6}.h, sys/net/pfkeyv2.h: IETF document assumes those
file to be there so we patch it up.
- sys/netinet: IPsec additions are here and there.
- sys/netinet6/*: most of IPv6 code sits here.
- sys/netkey: IPsec key management code
- dev/pci/pcidevs: regen
In my understanding no code here is subject to export control so it
should be safe.
directly, call the function pointer (*if_input)(ifp, m). The input routine
expects the packet header to be at the head of the packet, and will adjust
as necessary. Privatize the layer 2 input and output routines, allowing
*_ifattach() to set them up as appropriate.
and netinet, currently only tested under netinet.
Disabled by default, enabled by compiling the kernel with option
IFA_STATS. Enabling this feature seems to make the ip_output function
take 13% longer than before, which should be OK for people that need
this feature.
Jonathan Stone and myself. Many thanks to Matt Thomas for providing
the information necessary to implement this interface, and for helping
to shake out the bugs.
Some of the stuff (e.g., rarpd, bootpd, dhcpd etc., libsa) still will
only support Ethernet. Tcpdump itself should be ok, but libpcap needs
lot of work.
For the detailed change history, look at the commit log entries for
the is-newarp branch.
#define so that ifr_mtu accesses that. MTU shouldn't be overloaded
with ifr_metric, if only for clarity. Adding an MTU field to the
union hurts nothing (in fact, does not actually _change_ generated
code), and does improve clarity.
device and a printable "external name" (name + unit number), thus eliminating
if_name and if_unit. Updated interface to (*if_watchdog)() and (*if_reset)()
to take a struct ifnet *, rather than a unit number.
* Convert several data structures to use queue.h.
* Split in_pcbnotify() into two parts; one for notifying a specific PCB, and
one for notifying all PCBs for a particular foreign address.
