converting protocol user requests to accept sockaddr instead of mbufs.
remove tcp_input copy in to mbuf from sockaddr and just copy to sockaddr
to make it possible for the transitional functions to go away.
no version bump since these functions only existed for a short time and
were commented as adapters (they appeared in 7.99.15).
nam parameter type from buf * to sockaddr *.
final commit for parameter type changes to protocol user requests
* bump kernel version to 7.99.15 for parameter type changes to pr_{send,connect}
pr_{accept,sockname,peername} nam parameter type from mbuf * to sockaddr *.
* retained use of mbuftypes[MT_SONAME] for now.
* bump to netbsd version 7.99.12 for parameter type change.
patch posted to tech-net@ 2015/04/19
* update protocol bind implementations to use/expect sockaddr *
instead of mbuf *
* introduce sockaddr_big struct for storage of addr data passed via
sys_bind; sockaddr_big is of sufficient size and alignment to
accommodate all addr data sizes received.
* modify sys_bind to allocate sockaddr_big instead of using an mbuf.
* bump kernel version to 7.99.9 for change to pr_bind() parameter type.

The choice to use a new structure sockaddr_big has been retained since
changing sockaddr_storage size would lead to unnecessary ABI change. The
use of the new structure does not preclude future work that increases
the size of sockaddr_storage and at that time sockaddr_big may be
trivially replaced.
Tested by mrg@ and myself, discussed with rmind@, posted to tech-net@
(v4 multicast options off v4 mapped v6 socket) on interface destruction. The
code to clean this up in a true v4 socket was moved to its own function
which is now also called in the corresponding place for v6 sockets on
interface destruction.
- allow binding to mapped v4 multicast addresses
- define v4moptions, allow setting it via ioctl, pass it to ip_output,
free it when killing the pcb.
Ideally we would allow the IPV6 multicast setsockopts work on mapped addresses
too, but this is a lot more work and linux does not do it either.
switches and put into separate functions
xxx_bind(struct socket *, struct mbuf *)
xxx_listen(struct socket *)
- always KASSERT(solocked(so)) even if not implemented
- replace calls to pr_generic() with req = PRU_BIND with call to
pr_bind()
- replace calls to pr_generic() with req = PRU_LISTEN with call to
pr_listen()
- drop struct lwp * parameter from at_pcbsetaddr(), in_pcbbind() and
unp_bind() and always use curlwp.
rename existing functions that operate on PCB for consistency (and to
free up their names for xxx_{bind,listen}() PRUs
- l2cap_{bind,listen}() -> l2cap_{bind,listen}_pcb()
- sco_{bind,listen}() -> sco_{bind,listen}_pcb()
- rfcomm_{bind,listen}() -> rfcomm_{bind,listen}_pcb()

welcome to netbsd 6.99.48
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.
methods called Vestigial Time-Wait (VTW) and Maximum Segment Lifetime
Truncation (MSLT).
MSLT and VTW were contributed by Coyote Point Systems, Inc.
Even after a TCP session enters the TIME_WAIT state, its corresponding
socket and protocol control blocks (PCBs) stick around until the TCP
Maximum Segment Lifetime (MSL) expires. On a host whose workload
necessarily creates and closes down many TCP sockets, the sockets & PCBs
for TCP sessions in TIME_WAIT state amount to many megabytes of dead
weight in RAM.
Maximum Segment Lifetimes Truncation (MSLT) assigns each TCP session to
a class based on the nearness of the peer. Corresponding to each class
is an MSL, and a session uses the MSL of its class. The classes are
loopback (local host equals remote host), local (local host and remote
host are on the same link/subnet), and remote (local host and remote
host communicate via one or more gateways). Classes corresponding to
nearer peers have lower MSLs by default: 2 seconds for loopback, 10
seconds for local, 60 seconds for remote. Loopback and local sessions
expire more quickly when MSLT is used.
Vestigial Time-Wait (VTW) replaces a TIME_WAIT session's PCB/socket
dead weight with a compact representation of the session, called a
"vestigial PCB". VTW data structures are designed to be very fast and
memory-efficient: for fast insertion and lookup of vestigial PCBs,
the PCBs are stored in a hash table that is designed to minimize the
number of cacheline visits per lookup/insertion. The memory both
for vestigial PCBs and for elements of the PCB hashtable come from
fixed-size pools, and linked data structures exploit this to conserve
memory by representing references with a narrow index/offset from the
start of a pool instead of a pointer. When space for new vestigial PCBs
runs out, VTW makes room by discarding old vestigial PCBs, oldest first.
VTW cooperates with MSLT.
It may help to think of VTW as a "FIN cache" by analogy to the SYN
cache.
A 2.8-GHz Pentium 4 running a test workload that creates TIME_WAIT
sessions as fast as it can is approximately 17% idle when VTW is active
versus 0% idle when VTW is inactive. It has 103 megabytes more free RAM
when VTW is active (approximately 64k vestigial PCBs are created) than
when it is inactive.
- Properly authorize port binding in in_pcbsetport() and in6_pcbsetport()
- Pass struct sockaddr_in6 to in6_pcbsetport() instead of just the address,
so that we have a more complete context
- Adjust udp6_output() to craft a sockaddr_in6 as it calls in6_pcbsetport()
- Fix an issue in in_pcbbind() where we used the "dom_sa_any" pointer and
not a copy of it, pointed out by bouyer@, thanks!

in6_pcbbind_port(), used for binding to an address and a port respectively.
While here, fix a possible "leak" of an in6pcb when binding to an address
succeeded but binding to an auto-assigned port failed.
Proposed and received no objections on tech-net@:

- 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@.
