to protocol handlers, based on src/dst (for ip proto #4/41).
see comment in ip_encap.c for details of the problem we have.
there are too many protocol specs for ip proto #4/41.
backward compatibility with MROUTING case is now provided in ip_encap.c.
fix ipip to work with gif (using ip_encap.c). sorry for breakage.
gif now uses ip_encap.c.
introduce stf pseudo interface (implements 6to4, another IPv6-over-IPv4 code
with ip proto #41).
- be persistent on initializing interfaces, even if there's manually-
assigned linklocal, multicast/whatever initialization is necessary.
- do not cache mac addr in the kernel. grab mac addr from existing cards
(this is important when you swap ethernet cards back and forth)
now ppp6 works just fine!
call in6_ifattach() on ATM PVC interface to assign link-local, using
hardware MAC address as seed.
(the change is in sync with kame tree).
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.
attached.
- Add ether_crc32_be() and ether_crc_le(), common functions for computing
the Ethernet CRC on arbitrary length buffers. Nothing uses them yet,
and these should be double-checked and probably re-implemented as
table-driven functions.
parties can easily know the state of a link.
- Define an interface announcement message for the routing socket so that
routing daemons and other interested parties know when an interface
is attached/detached.
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.
the hack tries to respect ifa or ifp passed to RTM_ADD. However, the change
broke certain link-layers. They include:
- midway ethernet card (en*), which uses sockaddr_dl in gateway portion
to pass PVC information. with the patch, the gateway portion will be
overwritten by empty sockaddr_dl and PVC initialization will fail.
- IPv6, which can't set static ND table with the patch (ndp -s), for the
similar reason as above.
There may be improved hack coming soon, hope the new one does not break others.
(net/pfkeyv2.h used to just include netkey/keyv2.h).
netkey/keyv2.h includes #error only for several days, to inform
of file path change. after that I plan to nuke the file.
