and size of a userland buffer. The kernel shall not copyout more
than ifr_buflen bytes to ifr_buf. For future ioctls that use
ifr_buf and ifr_buflen instead of ifr_data, the kernel can return
a larger struct in the future than when the ioctl is introduced,
without breaking ABI compatibility, provided that the size, order,
and semantics of the fields at the front of the struct does not
change.
the non point-to-point interfaces that has one queue, and one used by
the point to point interfaces that has two queues. No functional changes.
XXX: The ALTQ stuff makes the code ugly.
XXX: More cleanup to come
The value of 50 dates back to 4.3BSD and 10Mbit interfaces.
Gigabit interfaces are 100x faster, and by observation, when heavy
interrupt mitigation is enabled, gigabit interfaces can enqueue 40 packets
or more in a single hardware interrupt. So IFQ_MAXLEN of 256 is adequate
for at least four gigabit interfaces.
Increasing IFQ_MAXLEN discussed and approved, in priniciple, circa Apr 2004.
The value is sysctl'able, so the default is no longer so critical,
but (imho) best to tune for high-performane systems by default.
to check if interface exists, as (1) if_index has different meaning
(2) ifindex2ifnet could become NULL when interface gets destroyed,
since when we have introduced dynamically-created interfaces. from kame
sysctl. Add a protocol-independent sysctl handler to show the per-protocol
"struct ifq' statistics. Add IP(v4) specific call to the handler.
Other protocols can show their per-protocol input statistics by
allocating a sysclt node and calling sysctl_ifq() with their own struct ifq *.

be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
by the application, all NetBSD interfaces are made visible, even
if some other feature-test macro (like _POSIX_C_SOURCE) is defined.
<sys/featuretest.h> defined _NETBSD_SOURCE if none of _ANSI_SOURCE,
_POSIX_C_SOURCE and _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined, so as to preserve
existing behaviour.
This has two major advantages:
+ Programs that require non-POSIX facilities but define _POSIX_C_SOURCE
can trivially be overruled by putting -D_NETBSD_SOURCE in their CFLAGS.
+ It makes most of the #ifs simpler, in that they're all now ORs of the
various macros, rather than having checks for (!defined(_ANSI_SOURCE) ||
!defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE) || !defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE)) all over the place.
I've tried not to change the semantics of the headers in any case where
_NETBSD_SOURCE wasn't defined, but there were some places where the
current semantics were clearly mad, and retaining them was harder than
correcting them. In particular, I've mostly normalised things so that
_ANSI_SOURCE gets you the smallest set of stuff, then _POSIX_C_SOURCE,
_XOPEN_SOURCE and _NETBSD_SOURCE in that order.
Tested by building for vax, encouraged by thorpej, and uncontested in
tech-userlevel for a week.
Do a little mbuf rework while here. Change all uses of MGET*(*, M_WAIT, *)
to m_get*(M_WAIT, *). These are not performance critical and making them
call m_get saves considerable space. Add m_clget analogue of MCLGET and
make corresponding change for M_WAIT uses.
Modify netinet, gem, fxp, tulip, nfs to support MBUFTRACE.
Begin to change netstat to use sysctl.
malloc types into a structure, a pointer to which is passed around,
instead of an int constant. Allow the limit to be adjusted when the
malloc type is defined, or with a function call, as suggested by
Jonathan Stone.
variant also zeroes the counters after copying them). In ifunit, add
support for dealing all numeric ifname by treating them as an ifindex
which is used to look up the interface.
Add capabilities bits that indicate an interface can only perform
in-bound TCPv4 or UDPv4 checksums. There is at least one Gig-E chip
for which this is true (Level One LXT-1001), and this is also the
case for the Intel i82559 10/100 Ethernet chips.
network interfaces. This works by pre-computing the pseudo-header
checksum and caching it, delaying the actual checksum to ip_output()
if the hardware cannot perform the sum for us. In-bound checksums
can either be fully-checked by hardware, or summed up for final
verification by software. This method was modeled after how this
is done in FreeBSD, although the code is significantly different in
most places.
We don't delay checksums for IPv6/TCP, but we do take advantage of the
cached pseudo-header checksum.
Note: hardware-assisted checksumming defaults to "off". It is
enabled with ifconfig(8). See the manual page for details.
Implement hardware-assisted checksumming on the DP83820 Gigabit Ethernet,
3c90xB/3c90xC 10/100 Ethernet, and Alteon Tigon/Tigon2 Gigabit Ethernet.
have sys/net/route.c:rtrequest1(), which takes rt_addrinfo * as the argument.
pass rt_addrinfo all the way down to rtrequest, and ifa->ifa_rtrequest.
3rd arg of ifa->ifa_rtrequest is now rt_addrinfo * instead of sockaddr *
(almost noone is using it anyways).
benefit: the follwoing command now works. previously we need two route(8)
invocations, "add" then "change".
# route add -inet6 default ::1 -ifp gif0
remove unsafe typecast in rtrequest(), from rtentry * to sockaddr *. it was
introduced by 4.3BSD-reno and never corrected.
XXX is eon_rtrequest() change correct regarding to 3rd arg?
eon_rtrequest() and rtrequest() were incorrect since 4.3BSD-reno,
so i do not have correct answer in the source code.
someone with more clue about netiso-over-ip, please help.
the link level name for the interface (ifp->if_sadl) is allocated
before ifp->if_addrlen is initialized, which could lead to allocating
too little space for the link level address.
Do this by splitting allocation of the link level name out of
if_attach() and into if_alloc_sadl(), which is normally called
by functions like ether_ifattach(). Network interfaces which
don't have a link-specific attach routine must call if_alloc_sadl()
themselves (example: gif).
Link level names are freed by if_free_sadl(), which can be called
from e.g. ether_ifdetach(). Drivers never need call if_free_sadl()
themselves as if_detach() will do it if it is not already done.
While here, add the ability to pass an AF_LINK address to
SIOCSIFADDR in ether_ioctl() (this is what caused me to notice
the problem that the above fixes).
