friendly (there are only few hooks in the system). Make the structures
opaque and the interface more strict.
- Remove PFIL_HOOKS option by making pfil(9) mandatory.
The change to if_spppsubr.c moves the test for whether LCP should
request a mru change until after the pppoe device has picked up the
mtu of the underlying ethernet device.
#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.
unique. Some brands of ADSL modems pick a hard-coded session ID which
would otherwise make it impossible to use two of them in the same system
simultaneously.
synchronously, but insert a (varying) delay. Before we have only been
decoupled from the peer via network latency - now we introduce some
explicit delay. This, at least, creates batter serialized debug output.
However, if we have to reconnect because of an authentication failure,
the peer may have just been unable to access it's radius server. (I have
a setup where this seems to happen every now and then, depending on time
of day.) Backoff reconnect in this cases seriously longer - this is better
than hitting the max-auth-failure limit within a few seconds.
- Socket layer becomes MP safe.
- Unix protocols become MP safe.
- Allows protocol processing interrupts to safely block on locks.
- Fixes a number of race conditions.
With much feedback from matt@ and plunky@.
the opportunity to handle an ioctl before generic ifioctl handling
occurs. This will ease extending the kernel and sharing of code
between drivers.
First steps: Make the signature of ifioctl_common() match struct
ifinet->if_ioctl. Convert SIOCSIFCAP and SIOCSIFMTU to the new
ifioctl() regime, throughout the kernel.
- struct timeval time is gone
time.tv_sec -> time_second
- struct timeval mono_time is gone
mono_time.tv_sec -> time_uptime
- access to time via
{get,}{micro,nano,bin}time()
get* versions are fast but less precise
- support NTP nanokernel implementation (NTP API 4)

When the ethernet interface of a pppoe pseudo-interface detaches, remove
the association and mark the pppoe interface down.
This should fix PR kern/28375.
