instead of adding/subtracting our own IPv4 header.
There are many benefits: gre(4) needn't grok the outer encapsulation
header any longer, so this simplifies the gre(4) code. The IP
stack needn't grok GRE, so it is simplified, too. gre(4) will
benefit from optimizations in the socket code. Eventually, gre(4)
will gain an IPv6 encapsulation with very few new lines of code.
There is a small performance loss. A 133 MHz, 486-class AMD Elan
sinks/sources a TCP stream over GRE with about 93% the throughput
of the old code. TCP throughput on a 266 MHz, 586-class AMD Geode
is about 96% the throughput of the old code. A 175-MHz ADM5120
(MIPS) only sinks a TCP stream over GRE at about 90% of the old
code; I am still investigating that.
I produced stripped-down versions of sosend() and soreceive() for
gre(4) to use. They are guaranteed not to block, so they can be
called from a software interrupt and from a socket upcall,
respectively.
A kernel thread is no longer necessary for socket transmit/receive,
but I didn't get around to removing it, yet.
Thanks to Matt Thomas for suggesting the use of stripped-down socket
code and software interrupts, and to Andrew Doran for advice and
answers concerning software interrupts, threads, and performance.
closer to its single caller in if_eon.c, try to move fewer bytes
by moving the IP header forward instead of moving the tail of the
mbuf backward, and use m_adj(9) instead of fiddling directly with
mbuf data members.
ifreq * arguments to ether_addmulti() and ether_delmulti() to const

tells a socket that it should both add a protocol header to tx'd
datagrams and remove the header from rx'd datagrams:
int onoff = 1, s = socket(...);
setsockopt(s, SOL_SOCKET, SO_NOHEADER, &onoff);
2) Add an implementation of (SOL_SOCKET, SO_NOHEADER) for raw IPv4
sockets.
3) Reorganize the protocols' pr_ctloutput implementations a bit.
Consistently return ENOPROTOOPT when an option is unsupported,
and EINVAL if a supported option's arguments are incorrect.
Reorganize the flow of code so that it's more clear how/when
options are passed down the stack until they are handled.
Shorten some pr_ctloutput staircases for readability.
4) Extract common mbuf code into subroutines, add new sockaddr
methods, and introduce a new subroutine, fsocreate(), for reuse
later; use it first in sys_socket():
struct mbuf *m_getsombuf(struct socket *so)
Create an mbuf and make its owner the socket `so'.
struct mbuf *m_intopt(struct socket *so, int val)
Create an mbuf, make its owner the socket `so', put the
int `val' into it, and set its length to sizeof(int).
int fsocreate(..., int *fd)
Create a socket, a la socreate(9), put the socket into the
given LWP's descriptor table, return the descriptor at `fd'
on success.
void *sockaddr_addr(struct sockaddr *sa, socklen_t *slenp)
const void *sockaddr_const_addr(const struct sockaddr *sa, socklen_t *slenp)
Extract a pointer to the address part of a sockaddr. Write
the length of the address part at `slenp', if `slenp' is
not NULL.
socklen_t sockaddr_getlen(const struct sockaddr *sa)
Return the length of a sockaddr. This just evaluates to
sa->sa_len. I only add this for consistency with code that
appears in a portable userland library that I am going to
import.
const struct sockaddr *sockaddr_any(const struct sockaddr *sa)
Return the "don't care" sockaddr in the same family as
`sa'. This is the address a client should sobind(9) if it
does not care the source address and, if applicable, the
port et cetera that it uses.
const void *sockaddr_anyaddr(const struct sockaddr *sa, socklen_t *slenp)
Return the "don't care" sockaddr in the same family as
`sa'. This is the address a client should sobind(9) if it
does not care the source address and, if applicable, the
port et cetera that it uses.
because that's just going to cause problems down the road. (Suppose
we can have two CPUs in the network stack someday?) Instead, use
sockaddr_in_init() to initialize a sockaddr_in on the stack.
Use ifreq_setaddr() to initialize ifreq.ifr_addr.
and dom_sa_len members from struct domain. Pools of fixed-size
objects are too rigid for sockaddr_dls, whose size can vary over
a wide range.
Return sockaddr_dl to its "historical" size. Now that I'm using
malloc(9) instead of pool(9) to allocate sockaddr_dl, I can create
a sockaddr_dl of any size in the kernel, so expanding sockaddr_dl
is useless.
Avoid using sizeof(struct sockaddr_dl) in the kernel.
Introduce sockaddr_dl_alloc() for allocating & initializing an
arbitrary sockaddr_dl on the heap.
Add an argument, the sockaddr length, to sockaddr_alloc(),
sockaddr_copy(), and sockaddr_dl_setaddr().
Constify: LLADDR() -> CLLADDR().
Where the kernel overwrites LLADDR(), use sockaddr_dl_setaddr(),
instead. Used properly, sockaddr_dl_setaddr() will not overrun
the end of the sockaddr.

identify sockaddr_dl abuse that remains in the kernel, especially
the potential for overwriting memory past the end of a sockaddr_dl
with, e.g., memcpy(LLADDR(), ...).
Use sockaddr_dl_setaddr() in a few places.
at IPL_NET, because rtcache_check() may read the forwarding table.
Elsewhere, the kernel only blocks interrupts at priority IPL_SOFTNET
and below while it modifies the forwarding table, so rtcache_check()
could be reading the table in an inconsistent state. Use
rtcache_done(), instead.
XXX netinet/ip_flow.c and netinet6/ip6_flow.c are virtually identical.

from the forwarding table's users:
Introduce rt_walktree() for walking the routing table and
applying a function to each rtentry. Replace most
rn_walktree() calls with it.
Use rt_getkey()/rt_setkey() to get/set a route's destination.
Keep a pointer to the sockaddr key in the rtentry, so that
rtentry users do not have to grovel in the radix_node for
the key.
Add a RTM_GET method to rtrequest. Use that instead of
radix_node lookups in, e.g., carp(4).
Add sys/net/link_proto.c, which supplies sockaddr routines for
link-layer socket addresses (sockaddr_dl).
Cosmetic:
Constify. KNF. Stop open-coding LIST_FOREACH, TAILQ_FOREACH,
et cetera. Use NULL instead of 0 for null pointers. Use
__arraycount(). Reduce gratuitous parenthesization.
Stop using variadic arguments for rip6_output(), it is
unnecessary.
Remove the unnecessary rtentry member rt_genmask and the
code to maintain it, since nothing actually used it.
Make rt_maskedcopy() easier to read by using meaningful variable
names.
Extract a subroutine intern_netmask() for looking up a netmask in
the masks table.
Start converting backslash-ridden IPv6 macros in
sys/netinet6/in6_var.h into inline subroutines that one
can read without special eyeglasses.
One functional change: when the kernel serves an RTM_GET, RTM_LOCK,
or RTM_CHANGE request, it applies the netmask (if supplied) to a
destination before searching for it in the forwarding table.
I have changed sys/netinet/ip_carp.c, carp_setroute(), to remove
the unlawful radix_node knowledge.
Apart from the changes to carp(4), netiso, ATM, and strip(4), I
have run the changes on three nodes in my wireless routing testbed,
which involves IPv4 + IPv6 dynamic routing acrobatics, and it's
working beautifully so far.
set to rn_walktree.
Introduce rt_walktree(), which applies a subroutine to every route
in a particular address family. Use it instead of rn_walktree()
virtually everywhere. This helps to hide the routing table
implementation.

OK yamt@.
avoid an indirect function call by comparing the family, length,
and bytes [dom->dom_sa_cmpofs, dom->dom_sa_cmpofs + dom->dom_sa_cmplen),

For ISO, actually use sockaddr_iso_cmp, for a change. Thanks to
yamt@ for pointing out my error.
route_in6, struct route_iso), replacing all caches with a struct
route.
The principle benefit of this change is that all of the protocol
families can benefit from route cache-invalidation, which is
necessary for correct routing. Route-cache invalidation fixes an
ancient PR, kern/3508, at long last; it fixes various other PRs,
also.
Discussions with and ideas from Joerg Sonnenberger influenced this
work tremendously. Of course, all design oversights and bugs are
mine.
DETAILS
1 I added to each address family a pool of sockaddrs. I have
introduced routines for allocating, copying, and duplicating,
and freeing sockaddrs:
struct sockaddr *sockaddr_alloc(sa_family_t af, int flags);
struct sockaddr *sockaddr_copy(struct sockaddr *dst,
const struct sockaddr *src);
struct sockaddr *sockaddr_dup(const struct sockaddr *src, int flags);
void sockaddr_free(struct sockaddr *sa);
sockaddr_alloc() returns either a sockaddr from the pool belonging
to the specified family, or NULL if the pool is exhausted. The
returned sockaddr has the right size for that family; sa_family
and sa_len fields are initialized to the family and sockaddr
length---e.g., sa_family = AF_INET and sa_len = sizeof(struct
sockaddr_in). sockaddr_free() puts the given sockaddr back into
its family's pool.
sockaddr_dup() and sockaddr_copy() work analogously to strdup()
and strcpy(), respectively. sockaddr_copy() KASSERTs that the
family of the destination and source sockaddrs are alike.
The 'flags' argumet for sockaddr_alloc() and sockaddr_dup() is
passed directly to pool_get(9).
2 I added routines for initializing sockaddrs in each address
family, sockaddr_in_init(), sockaddr_in6_init(), sockaddr_iso_init(),
etc. They are fairly self-explanatory.
3 structs route_in6 and route_iso are no more. All protocol families
use struct route. I have changed the route cache, 'struct route',
so that it does not contain storage space for a sockaddr. Instead,
struct route points to a sockaddr coming from the pool the sockaddr
belongs to. I added a new method to struct route, rtcache_setdst(),
for setting the cache destination:
int rtcache_setdst(struct route *, const struct sockaddr *);
rtcache_setdst() returns 0 on success, or ENOMEM if no memory is
available to create the sockaddr storage.
It is now possible for rtcache_getdst() to return NULL if, say,
rtcache_setdst() failed. I check the return value for NULL
everywhere in the kernel.
4 Each routing domain (struct domain) has a list of live route
caches, dom_rtcache. rtflushall(sa_family_t af) looks up the
domain indicated by 'af', walks the domain's list of route caches
and invalidates each one.
