Do a little mbuf rework while here. Change all uses of MGET*(*, M_WAIT, *)
to m_get*(M_WAIT, *). These are not performance critical and making them
call m_get saves considerable space. Add m_clget analogue of MCLGET and
make corresponding change for M_WAIT uses.
Modify netinet, gem, fxp, tulip, nfs to support MBUFTRACE.
Begin to change netstat to use sysctl.
done by Artur Grabowski and Thomas Nordin for OpenBSD, which is more
efficient in several ways than the callwheel implementation that it is
replacing. It has been adapted to our pre-existing callout API, and
also provides the slightly more efficient (and much more intuitive)
API (adapted to the callout_*() naming scheme) that the OpenBSD version
provides.
Among other things, this shaves a bunch of cycles off rescheduling-in-
the-future a callout which is already scheduled, which the common case
for TCP timers (notably REXMT and KEEP).
The API has been simplified a bit, as well. The (very confusing to
a good many people) "ACTIVE" state for callouts has gone away. There
is now only "PENDING" (scheduled to fire in the future) and "EXPIRED"
(has fired, and the function called).
Kernel version bump not done; we'll ride the 1.6N bump that happened
with the malloc(9) change.
optimization made last year. should solve PR 17867 and 10195.
IP_HDRINCL behavior of raw ip socket is kept unchanged. we may want to
provide IP_HDRINCL variant that does not swap endian.
Make sure that each va_start has one and only one matching va_end,
especially in error cases.
If the va_list is used multiple times, do multiple va_starts/va_ends.
If a function gets va_list as argument, don't let it use va_end (since
it's the callers responsibility).
Improved by comments from enami and christos -- thanks!
Heimdal/krb4/KAME changes already fed back, rest to follow.
Inspired by, but not not based on, OpenBSD.
follows BSD/OS practice and ucd-snmp code (FreeBSD does it for specific
interfaces only).
was: if_lastchange get updated on every packet transmission/receipt.
now: if_lastchange get updated when IFF_UP is changed.
have sys/net/route.c:rtrequest1(), which takes rt_addrinfo * as the argument.
pass rt_addrinfo all the way down to rtrequest, and ifa->ifa_rtrequest.
3rd arg of ifa->ifa_rtrequest is now rt_addrinfo * instead of sockaddr *
(almost noone is using it anyways).
benefit: the follwoing command now works. previously we need two route(8)
invocations, "add" then "change".
# route add -inet6 default ::1 -ifp gif0
remove unsafe typecast in rtrequest(), from rtentry * to sockaddr *. it was
introduced by 4.3BSD-reno and never corrected.
XXX is eon_rtrequest() change correct regarding to 3rd arg?
eon_rtrequest() and rtrequest() were incorrect since 4.3BSD-reno,
so i do not have correct answer in the source code.
someone with more clue about netiso-over-ip, please help.
the link level name for the interface (ifp->if_sadl) is allocated
before ifp->if_addrlen is initialized, which could lead to allocating
too little space for the link level address.
Do this by splitting allocation of the link level name out of
if_attach() and into if_alloc_sadl(), which is normally called
by functions like ether_ifattach(). Network interfaces which
don't have a link-specific attach routine must call if_alloc_sadl()
themselves (example: gif).
Link level names are freed by if_free_sadl(), which can be called
from e.g. ether_ifdetach(). Drivers never need call if_free_sadl()
themselves as if_detach() will do it if it is not already done.
While here, add the ability to pass an AF_LINK address to
SIOCSIFADDR in ether_ioctl() (this is what caused me to notice
the problem that the above fixes).
timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
between protocol handlers.
ipsec socket pointers, ipsec decryption/auth information, tunnel
decapsulation information are in my mind - there can be several other usage.
at this moment, we use this for ipsec socket pointer passing. this will
avoid reuse of m->m_pkthdr.rcvif in ipsec code.
due to the change, MHLEN will be decreased by sizeof(void *) - for example,
for i386, MHLEN was 100 bytes, but is now 96 bytes.
we may want to increase MSIZE from 128 to 256 for some of our architectures.
take caution if you use it for keeping some data item for long period
of time - use extra caution on M_PREPEND() or m_adj(), as they may result
in loss of m->m_pkthdr.aux pointer (and mbuf leak).
this will bump kernel version.
(as discussed in tech-net, tested in kame tree)
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.
