- 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@.
- Make ipflow_reap() private to ip_flow.c, and introduce ipflow_prune()
for external callers to use (avoids returning an ipflow * that is never
actually used anyway).
Otherwise we end up sending a dubious "0" whenever we cannot find a
proper association for the packet.
- Reset sack_newdata along with snd_nxt to avoid improper integer
arithmetics that lead to sending data from an incorrect place in the
stream, making it appear as corrupted.

stuff and I for the SACK issue.
to _ro_rt. Use rtcache_getrt() to access a route cache's struct
rtentry *.
Introduce struct ifnet->if_dl that always points at the interface
identifier/link-layer address. Make code that treated the first
ifaddr on struct ifnet->if_addrlist as the interface address use
if_dl, instead.
Remove stale debugging code from net/route.c. Move the rtflush()
code into rtcache_clear() and delete rtflush(). Delete rtalloc(),
because nothing uses it any more.
Make ND6_HINT an inline, lowercase subroutine, nd6_hint.
I've done my best to convert IP Filter, the ISO stack, and the
AppleTalk stack to rtcache_getrt(). They compile, but I have not
tested them. I have given the changes to PF, GRE, IPv4 and IPv6
stacks a lot of exercise.
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.
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.
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.
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.
parentheses in return statements.
Cosmetic: don't open-code TAILQ_FOREACH().
Cosmetic: change types of variables to avoid oodles of casts: in
in6_src.c, avoid casts by changing several route_in6 pointers
to struct route pointers. Remove unnecessary casts to caddr_t
elsewhere.
Pave the way for eliminating address family-specific route caches:
soon, struct route will not embed a sockaddr, but it will hold
a reference to an external sockaddr, instead. We will set the
destination sockaddr using rtcache_setdst(). (I created a stub
for it, but it isn't used anywhere, yet.) rtcache_free() will
free the sockaddr. I have extracted from rtcache_free() a helper
subroutine, rtcache_clear(). rtcache_clear() will "forget" a
cached route, but it will not forget the destination by releasing
the sockaddr. I use rtcache_clear() instead of rtcache_free()
in rtcache_update(), because rtcache_update() is not supposed
to forget the destination.
Constify:
1 Introduce const accessor for route->ro_dst, rtcache_getdst().
2 Constify the 'dst' argument to ifnet->if_output(). This
led me to constify a lot of code called by output routines.
3 Constify the sockaddr argument to protosw->pr_ctlinput. This
led me to constify a lot of code called by ctlinput routines.
4 Introduce const macros for converting from a generic sockaddr
to family-specific sockaddrs, e.g., sockaddr_in: satocsin6,
satocsin, et cetera.
rtcache_init and rtcache_init_noclone lookup ro_dst and store
the result in ro_rt, taking care of the reference counting and
calling the domain specific route cache.
rtcache_free checks if a route was cashed and frees the reference.
rtcache_copy copies ro_dst of the given struct route, checking that
enough space is available and incrementing the reference count of the
cached rtentry if necessary.
rtcache_check validates that the cached route is still up. If it isn't,
it tries to look it up again. Afterwards ro_rt is either a valid again
or NULL.
rtcache_copy is used internally.
Adjust to callers of rtalloc/rtflush in the tree to check the sanity of
ro_dst first (if necessary). If it doesn't fit the expectations, free
the cache, otherwise check if the cached route is still valid. After
that combination, a single check for ro_rt == NULL is enough to decide
whether a new lookup needs to be done with a different ro_dst.
Make the route checking in gre stricter by repeating the loop check
after revalidation.
Remove some unused RADIX_MPATH code in in6_src.c. The logic is slightly
changed here to first validate the route and check RTF_GATEWAY
afterwards. This is sementically equivalent though.
etherip doesn't need sc_route_expire similiar to the gif changes from
dyoung@ earlier.
Based on the earlier patch from dyoung@, reviewed and discussed with
him.
routing caused by stale route caches (struct route). Route caches
are sprinkled throughout PCBs, the IP fast-forwarding table, and
IP tunnel interfaces (gre, gif, stf).
Stale IPv6 and ISO route caches will be treated by separate patches.
Thank you to Christoph Badura for suggesting the general approach
to invalidating route caches that I take here.
Here are the details:
Add hooks to struct domain for tracking and for invalidating each
domain's route caches: dom_rtcache, dom_rtflush, and dom_rtflushall.
Introduce helper subroutines, rtflush(ro) for invalidating a route
cache, rtflushall(family) for invalidating all route caches in a
routing domain, and rtcache(ro) for notifying the domain of a new
cached route.
Chain together all IPv4 route caches where ro_rt != NULL. Provide
in_rtcache() for adding a route to the chain. Provide in_rtflush()
and in_rtflushall() for invalidating IPv4 route caches. In
in_rtflush(), set ro_rt to NULL, and remove the route from the
chain. In in_rtflushall(), walk the chain and remove every route
cache.
In rtrequest1(), call rtflushall() to invalidate route caches when
a route is added.
In gif(4), discard the workaround for stale caches that involves
expiring them every so often.
Replace the pattern 'RTFREE(ro->ro_rt); ro->ro_rt = NULL;' with a
call to rtflush(ro).
Update ipflow_fastforward() and all other users of route caches so
that they expect a cached route, ro->ro_rt, to turn to NULL.
Take care when moving a 'struct route' to rtflush() the source and
to rtcache() the destination.
In domain initializers, use .dom_xxx tags.
KNF here and there.
with spl used to protect other allocations and frees, or datastructure
element insertion and removal, in adjacent code.
It is almost unquestionably the case that some of the spl()/splx() calls
added here are superfluous, but it really seems wrong to see:
s=splfoo();
/* frob data structure */
splx(s);
pool_put(x);
and if we think we need to protect the first operation, then it is hard
to see why we should not think we need to protect the next. "Better
safe than sorry".
It is also almost unquestionably the case that I missed some pool
gets/puts from interrupt context with my strategy for finding these
calls; use of PR_NOWAIT is a strong hint that a pool may be used from
interrupt context but many callers in the kernel pass a "can wait/can't
wait" flag down such that my searches might not have found them. One
notable area that needs to be looked at is pf.

- Add a few scopes to the kernel: system, network, and machdep.
- Add a few more actions/sub-actions (requests), and start using them as
opposed to the KAUTH_GENERIC_ISSUSER place-holders.
- Introduce a basic set of listeners that implement our "traditional"
security model, called "bsd44". This is the default (and only) model we
have at the moment.
- Update all relevant documentation.
- Add some code and docs to help folks who want to actually use this stuff:
* There's a sample overlay model, sitting on-top of "bsd44", for
fast experimenting with tweaking just a subset of an existing model.
This is pretty cool because it's *really* straightforward to do stuff
you had to use ugly hacks for until now...
* And of course, documentation describing how to do the above for quick
reference, including code samples.
All of these changes were tested for regressions using a Python-based
testsuite that will be (I hope) available soon via pkgsrc. Information
about the tests, and how to write new ones, can be found on:
http://kauth.linbsd.org/kauthwiki
NOTE FOR DEVELOPERS: *PLEASE* don't add any code that does any of the
following:
- Uses a KAUTH_GENERIC_ISSUSER kauth(9) request,
- Checks 'securelevel' directly,
- Checks a uid/gid directly.
(or if you feel you have to, contact me first)
This is still work in progress; It's far from being done, but now it'll
be a lot easier.

anything, goes to Matt Fleming and Jaime Fournier.
Happy birthday Randi! :)
sysctl(9) flags CTLFLAG_READONLY[12]. luckily they're not documented
so it's only half regression.
only two knobs used them; proc.curproc.corename (check added in the
existing handler; its CTLFLAG_ANYWRITE, yay) and net.inet.ip.forwsrcrt,
that got its own handler now too.
