Notable changes:
* Fixes PR 34268.
* Separates the code from gif(4) (which is more cleaner).
* Allows the usage of STP (Spanning Tree Protocol).
* Removed EtherIP implementation from gif(4)/tap(4).
Some input from Christos.
Also, add ioctls SIOCGIFADDRPREF/SIOCSIFADDRPREF to get/set preference
numbers for addresses. Make ifconfig(8) set/display preference
numbers.
To activate source-address selection policies in your kernel, add
'options IPSELSRC' to your kernel configuration.
Miscellaneous changes in support of source-address selection:
1 Factor out some common code, producing rt_replace_ifa().
2 Abbreviate a for-loop with TAILQ_FOREACH().
3 Add the predicates on IPv4 addresses IN_LINKLOCAL() and
IN_PRIVATE(), that are true for link-local unicast
(169.254/16) and RFC1918 private addresses, respectively.
Add the predicate IN_ANY_LOCAL() that is true for link-local
unicast and multicast.
4 Add IPv4-specific interface attach/detach routines,
in_domifattach and in_domifdetach, which build #ifdef
IPSELSRC.
See in_getifa(9) for a more thorough description of source-address
selection policy.
allowed. It takes three int * arguments indicating domain, type, and
protocol. Replace previous KAUTH_REQ_NETWORK_SOCKET_RAWSOCK with it (but
keep it still).
Places that used to explicitly check for privileged context now don't
need it anymore, so I replaced these with XXX comment indiacting it for
future reference.
Documented and updated examples as well.
NetBSD/alpha and NetBSD/sparc. This fixes PR#34751.
The problem most likely started to show in gcc4 and is caused by the use of
a casting to an uint32_t pointer that is later copied from using memcpy.
Gcc detects the copying of 4 bytes from an uint32_t pointer and decides to
just replace it with an aligned copy causing the trap.
Fix provided by Izumi Tsutsui and ok'd by Martin.
from Kentaro A. Kurahone, with minor adjustments by me.
the ack prediction part of the original patch was omitted because
it's a separate change. reviewed by Rui Paulo.
one or two segments on partial acks. even if sack_bytes_rxmt==0,
if we are in fast recovory with sack, snd_cwnd has somewhat special
meaning here. PR/34749.
The code to generate an ISS via an MD5 hash has been present in the
NetBSD kernel since 2001, but it wasn't even exported to userland at
that time. It was agreed on tech-net with the original author <thorpej>
that we should let the user decide if he wants to enable it or not.
Not enabled by default.
credentials on sockets, at least not anytime soon, this is a way to check
if we can "look" at a socket. Later on when (and if) we do have socket
credentials, the interface usage remains the same because we pass the
socket.
This also fixes sysctl for inet/inet6 pcblist.
happen in the TCP stack, this interface calls the specified callback to
handle the situation according to the currently selected congestion
control algorithm.
A new sysctl node was created: net.inet.tcp.congctl.{available,selected}
with obvious meanings.
The old net.inet.tcp.newreno MIB was removed.
The API is discussed in tcp_congctl(9).
In the near future, it will be possible to selected a congestion control
algorithm on a per-socket basis.
Discussed on tech-net and reviewed by <yamt>.
