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)
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...)
the member is used to pass struct socket to ip{,6}_output for ipsec decisions.
(i agree it is kind of ugly. we need to modify struct mbuf if we are
to do better - which seems to me a bit too much)
remote of the tunnel can be found.
XXX If you manually mark the interface as "UP" and set the MTU later
XXX sending a packet will still cause a kernel panic.
passing SIOCSIFADDR/SIOIFDSTADDR, but by passing the addresses in
the appropriate structs.
One of the mysteries of ifconfig IMHO...
Should fix kern/6899.
up the interface to ip_mroute.c somewhat, and properly separates IP-IP
from GRE. (They are similar, but they are different protocols, and should
not be implemented in the same place.)
