ip_output(). This flag, if set, causes ip_output() to set
DF in the IP header if the MTU in the route is not locked.
This allows a bunch of redundant code, which I was never
really all that happy about adding in the first place, to
be eliminated.
Inspired by a similar change made by provos@openbsd.org when
he integrated NetBSD's Path MTU Discovery code into OpenBSD.
correct timestamp option validation (len and ptr upper/lower bound
based on RFC791).
fill "pointer" field for parameter problem in timestamp option processing.
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)
pfil information, instead, struct protosw now contains a structure
which caontains list heads, etc. The per-protosw pfil struct is passed
to pfil_hook_get(), along with an in/out flag to get the head of the
relevant filter list. This has been done for only IPv4 and IPv6, at
present, with these patches only enabling filtering for IPPROTO_IP and
IPPROTO_IPV6, although it is possible to have tcp/udp, etc, dedicated
filters now also. The ipfilter code has been updated to only filter
IPv4 packets - next major release of ipfilter is required for ipv6.
- interop issues in ipcomp is fixed
- padding type (after ESP) is configurable
- key database memory management (need more fixes)
- policy specification is revisited
XXX m->m_pkthdr.rcvif is still overloaded - hope to fix it soon
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...)
(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.
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.
all of the fragments. Use the mtu of route in preference of the MTU of the
interface when doing fragmentation decisions. (ie. Fragment to the path
mtu if it is available).
change pfil_add_hook to put output filters at the tail of the queue,
while continuing to place input filters at the head of the queue. update
the two users of these functions, and document these changes.
fixes PR#4593.
* IP_PORTRANGE socket option, which controls how the ephemeral ports
are allocated. it takes the following settings:
IP_PORTRANGE_DEFAULT use anonportmin (49152) -> anonportmax (65535)
IP_PORTRANGE_HIGH as IP_PORTRANGE_DEFAULT (retained for FreeBSD
compat reasons, where these are separate)
IP_PORTRANGE_LOW use 600 -> 1023. only works if uid==0.
* in_pcb flag INP_ANONPORT. set if port was allocated ephmerally
interface using a sockaddr_dl in a control mbuf.
Implement SO_TIMESTAMP for IP datagrams.
Move packet information option processing into a generic function
so that they work with multicast UDP and raw IP as well as unicast UDP.

Scenario: If ip_insertoptions() prepends a new mbuf to the chain, the
bad: label's m_freem(m0) still would free only the original mbuf chain
if the transmission failed for, e.g., no route to host; resulting in
one lost mbuf per failed packet. (The original posting included a
demonstration program).
