This is much better handled by a user-land tool.
Proposed on tech-net here:

Note that the ioctl SIOCGIFINFO_IN6 no longer sets flags. That now
needs to be done using the pre-existing SIOCSIFINFO_FLAGS ioctl.
Compat is fully provided where it makes sense, but trying to turn on
RA handling will obviously throw an error as it no longer exists.
Note that if you use IPv6 temporary addresses, this now needs to be
turned on in dhcpcd.conf(5) rather than in sysctl.conf(5).
"require" IPsec policy is not enforced on them, and unauthenticated
packets will be accepted.
Tested with a require-AH configuration. Sent on tech-net@, no comment.
reference in RFCs about what a correct limit should be, but FreeBSD already
uses 15.
If an IPv6 packet has 50 options, there is clearly something wrong with it.
Currently softnet_lock is taken unnecessarily in some cases, e.g.,
icmp_input and encap4_input from ip_input, or not taken even if needed,
e.g., udp_input and tcp_input from ipsec4_common_input_cb. Fix them.
NFC if NET_MPSAFE is disabled (default).
The change introduces a global generation counter that is incremented when any
routes have been added or deleted. When a rtcache caches a rtentry into itself,
it also stores a snapshot of the generation counter. If the snapshot equals to
the global counter, the cache is still valid, otherwise invalidated.
One drawback of the change is that all rtcaches of all protocol families are
invalidated when any routes of any protocol families are added or deleted.
If that matters, we should have separate generation counters based on
protocol families.
This change removes LIST_ENTRY from struct route, which fixes a part of
PR kern/52515.
Note that we should modularize netipsec and reduce reverse symbol references
(referencing symbols of netipsec from net, netinet and netinet6) though,
the task needs lots of code changes. Prior to doing so, rumpifying it and
having ATF tests should be useful.
You can't use this unless you know what it is a priori: the formal
prototype is variadic, and the different instances (e.g., ip_output,
route_output) have different real prototypes.
Convert the only user of it, raw_send in net/raw_cb.c, to take an
explicit callback argument. Convert the only instances of it,
route_output and key_output, to such explicit callbacks for raw_send.
Use assertions to make sure the conversion to explicit callbacks is
warranted.
Discussed on tech-net with no objections:
https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-net/2016/01/16/msg005484.html
- Replace ipintrq and ip6intrq with the pktqueue mechanism.
- Eliminate kernel-lock from ipintr() and ip6intr().
- Some preparation work to push softnet_lock out of ipintr().
Discussed on tech-net.
dismantling of pr_usrreq in the protocols; no functional change intended.
PRU_ATTACH/PRU_DETACH changes will follow soon.
Bump for struct protosw. Welcome to 6.99.62!
KAME_IPSEC, and make IPSEC define it so that existing kernel
config files work as before
Now the default can be easily be changed to FAST_IPSEC just by
setting the IPSEC alias to FAST_IPSEC.
- introduce a limit for the routes accepted via IPv6 Router Advertisement:
a common 2 interface client will have 6, the default limit is 100 and
can be adjusted via sysctl
- report the current number of routes installed via RA via sysctl
- count discarded route additions. Note that one RA message is two routes.
This is at present only across all interfaces even though per-interface
would be more useful, since the per-interface structure complies to RFC2466
- bump kernel version due to the previous change
- adjust netstat to use the new value (with netstat -p icmp6)
will have an easier time replacing it with something different, even if
it is a second radix-trie implementation.
sys/net/route.c and sys/net/rtsock.c no longer operate directly on
radix_nodes or radix_node_heads.
Hopefully this will reduce the temptation to implement multipath or
source-based routing using grotty hacks to the grotty old radix-trie
code, too. :-)
addresses. Make the kernel support SIOC[SG]IFADDRPREF for IPv6
interface addresses.
In in6ifa_ifpforlinklocal(), consult preference numbers before
making an otherwise arbitrary choice of in6_ifaddr. Otherwise,
preference numbers are *not* consulted by the kernel, but that will
be rather easy for somebody with a little bit of free time to fix.
Please note that setting the preference number for a link-local
IPv6 address does not work right, yet, but that ought to be fixed
soon.
In support of the changes above,
1 Add a method to struct domain for "externalizing" a sockaddr, and
provide an implementation for IPv6. Expect more work in this area: it
may be more proper to say that the IPv6 implementation "internalizes"
a sockaddr. Add sockaddr_externalize().
2 Add a subroutine, sofamily(), that returns a struct socket's address
family or AF_UNSPEC.
3 Make a lot of IPv4-specific code generic, and move it from
sys/netinet/ to sys/net/ for re-use by IPv6 parts of the kernel and
ifconfig(8).
structures. This is far from optimal, but gets rid of iffy
#ifdef INET in radix.c. The radix bonsai still needs lots of love
before loading domains dynamically is possible...
- 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@.
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.
