For unknown reasons, IPv6 multicast addresses are linked to a first
IPv6 address assigned to an interface. Due to the design, when removing
a first address having multicast addresses, we need to save them to
somewhere and later restore them once a new IPv6 address is activated.
mkludge stuffs support the operations.
This change links multicast addresses to an interface directly and
throws the kludge away.
Note that as usual some obsolete member variables remain for kvm(3)
users. And also sysctl net.inet6.multicast_kludge remains to avoid
breaking old ifmcstat.
TODO: currently ifnet has a list of in6_multi but obviously the list
should be protocol independent. Provide a common structure (if_multi
or something) to handle in6_multi and in_multi together as well as
ifaddr does for in_ifaddr and in6_ifaddr.
netstat appends '*' to the name of an interface without IFF_UP, so
if_nametoindex which is used in mc_print fails. mc_print needs just
an interface index so pass it instead of a tweaked interface name.
default, build a handful of tools as n64 so they work properly.
unfortunately, they're also static as dynamic n64 has a problem.
of these tools pstat is probably the lowest hanging fruit to convert
to sysctl. systat would be close were it not for the netstat screen,
which includes netstat itself.
the rest are difficult to perhaps foolish.
the upside is that netstat, pmap and fstat all work properly now.
loop, to use signals properly. There are two copies of this code; one
uses kvm and the other uses sysctls. One copy had been updated to use
sigset_t and sigsuspend; the other was using vintage sigpause(). Sync
up the code so both use sigpause. Also, use sig_atomic_t, and block
SIGALRM when not waiting for it to avoid a small and unlikely but real
race.
Since the non-modernized copy of the code *had* for some been
modernized to use setitimer instead of just alarm(), propagate that
change to the other copy.
These copies could share more logic than they do.
(-ia) and comment in the code where this is missing?
XXX: should that be an ioctl or sysctl? provide getifmultiaddrs() via the
routing socket? I guess since this is just for netstat a simple sysctl or
ioctl would suffice. I lean towards sysctl.
By this change, nexthop caches (IP-MAC address pair) are not stored
in the routing table anymore. Instead nexthop caches are stored in
each network interface; we already have lltable/llentry data structure
for this purpose. This change also obsoletes the concept of cloning/cloned
routes. Cloned routes no longer exist while cloning routes still exist
with renamed to connected routes.
Noticeable changes are:
- Nexthop caches aren't listed in route show/netstat -r
- sysctl(NET_RT_DUMP) doesn't return them
- If RTF_LLDATA is specified, it returns nexthop caches
- Several definitions of routing flags and messages are removed
- RTF_CLONING, RTF_XRESOLVE, RTF_LLINFO, RTF_CLONED and RTM_RESOLVE
- RTF_CONNECTED is added
- It has the same value of RTF_CLONING for backward compatibility
- route's -xresolve, -[no]cloned and -llinfo options are removed
- -[no]cloning remains because it seems there are users
- -[no]connected is introduced and recommended
to be used instead of -[no]cloning
- route show/netstat -r drops some flags
- 'L' and 'c' are not seen anymore
- 'C' now indicates a connected route
- Gateway value of a route of an interface address is now not
a L2 address but "link#N" like a connected (cloning) route
- Proxy ARP: "arp -s ... pub" doesn't create a route
You can know details of behavior changes by seeing diffs under tests/.
Proposed on tech-net and tech-kern:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-net/2016/03/11/msg005701.html
src/usr.bin/netstat relies on code from src/sbin/route. WHen building
with -DSMALL, some functions such as mpls_ntoa() or p_rtrmx() are not
built in src/sbin/route. We therefore have to make sure they are not
used in src/usr.bin/netstat.
they are created on the fly. This makes it clear what the route is for
and allows an optimisation in ip_output() by avoiding a call to
in_broadcast() because most of the time we do talk to a host.
It also avoids a needless allocation for the storage of llinfo_arp and
thus vanishes from arp(8) - it showed as incomplete anyway so this
is a nice side effect.
Guard against this and routes marked with RTF_BLACKHOLE in
ip_fastforward().
While here, guard against routes marked with RTF_BLACKHOLE in
ip6_fastforward().
RTF_BROADCAST is IPv4 only, so don't bother checking that here.
nowadays sysctl(3) is the default information retrieval method.
- Fix description about default value for -N; it is no longer a single value
these days, so just say see kvm_openfiles(3) rahter than repeating
several lines description here.
internal route statistics. Restore the old kmem route printing code that
was not just used for post-mortem displays. Reported by kardel@, test by
netstat -nrvf inet
While here fix ipv6 pcb printing by making tcp6_dump with tcp.
XXX: Merge the inet and the inet6 code. It is silly to need to specify
-p tcp6 to print a tcp6 pcb, we already know what it is.
