|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interface allows a function to be called on every incoming or outgoing
|
|
packets. The hooks for these are embedded in the
|
|
.Fn ip_input
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn ip_output
|
|
routines. The
|
|
.Fn pfil_hook_get
|
|
function returns the first member of a particular hook, either the in or out
|
|
list. The
|
|
.Fn pfil_add_hook
|
|
function takes a function of the form below as it's first argument, and the
|
|
flags for which lists to add the function to. The possible values for these
|
|
flags are some combination of PFIL_IN and PFIL_OUT. The
|
|
.Fn pfil_remove_hook
|
|
removes a hook from the specified lists.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Va func
|
|
argument is a function with the following prototype.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn func "void *data" "int hlen" "struct ifnet *net" "int dir" "struct mbuf **m"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Va data
|
|
describes the packet. Currently, this may only be a pointer to a ip structure. The
|
|
.Va net
|
|
and
|
|
.Va m
|
|
arguments describe the network interface and the mbuf holding data for this
|
|
packet. The
|
|
.Va dir
|
|
is the direction; 0 for incoming packets and 1 for outgoing packets. if the function
|
|
returns non-zero, this signals an error and no further processing of this packet is
|
|
performed. The function should set errno to indicate the nature of the error.
|
|
It is the hook's responsibiliy to free the chain if the packet is being dropped.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interface is enabled in the kernel via the
|
|
.Sy PFIL_HOOKS
|
|
option.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If successful
|
|
.Fn pfil_hook_get
|
|
returns the first member of the packet filter list,
|
|
.Fn pfil_add_hook
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn pfil_remove_hook
|
|
are expected to always succeed.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interface first appeared in
|
|
.Nx 1.3 .
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
input and output lists were originally implemented as
|
|
.Fd <sys/queue.h>
|
|
.Dv LIST
|
|
structures;
|
|
however this was changed in
|
|
.Nx 1.4
|
|
to
|
|
.Dv TAILQ
|
|
structures. This change was to allow the input and output filters to be
|
|
processed in reverse order, to allow the same path to be taken, in or out
|
|
of the kernel.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The current
|
|
.Nm
|
|
implementation will need changes to suit a threaded kernel model.
