# 259065 07-Dec-2013 gjb

- Copy stable/10 (r259064) to releng/10.0 as part of the
10.0-RELEASE cycle.
- Update __FreeBSD_version [1]
- Set branch name to -RC1

[1] 10.0-CURRENT __FreeBSD_version value ended at '55', so
start releng/10.0 at '100' so the branch is started with
a value ending in zero.

# 240494 14-Sep-2012 glebius

o Create directory sys/netpfil, where all packet filters should
reside, and move there ipfw(4) and pf(4).

o Move most modified parts of pf out of contrib.

Actual movements:

sys/contrib/pf/net/*.c -> sys/netpfil/pf/
sys/contrib/pf/net/*.h -> sys/net/
contrib/pf/pfctl/*.c -> sbin/pfctl
contrib/pf/pfctl/*.h -> sbin/pfctl
contrib/pf/pfctl/pfctl.8 -> sbin/pfctl
contrib/pf/pfctl/*.4 -> share/man/man4
contrib/pf/pfctl/*.5 -> share/man/man5

sys/netinet/ipfw -> sys/netpfil/ipfw

The arguable movement is pf/net/*.h -> sys/net. There are
future plans to refactor pf includes, so I decided not to
break things twice.

Not modified bits of pf left in contrib: authpf, ftp-proxy,
tftp-proxy, pflogd.

The ipfw(4) movement is planned to be merged to stable/9,
to make head and stable match.

Discussed with: bz, luigi


# 213253 28-Sep-2010 luigi

Whitespace changes to reduce diffs wrt the most recent ipfw/dummynet code:
+ remove an unused macro,
+ adjust the constants in an enum
+ small whitespace changes

MFC after: 3 days


# 206845 19-Apr-2010 luigi

whitespace fixes (trailing whitespace, bad indentation
after a merge, etc.)


# 206428 09-Apr-2010 luigi

This commit enables partial operation of dummynet with kernels
compiled with "options VIMAGE".
As it is now, there is still a single instance of the pipes,
and it is only usable from vnet0 (the main instance).
Trying to use a pipe from a different vimage does not crash
the system as it did before, but the traffic coming out from
the pipe goes to the wrong place, and i still need to
figure out where.

Support for per-vimage pipes is almost there (just a matter of
uncommenting the VNET_* definitions for dn_cfg, plus putting into
the structure the remaining static variables), however i need
first to figure out how init/uninit work, and also to understand
where packets are ending up on exit from a pipe.

In summary: vimage support for dummynet is not complete yet,
but we are getting there.


# 206425 09-Apr-2010 luigi

no need to pass an argument to dn_compat_calc_size()

MFC after: 3 days


# 205173 15-Mar-2010 luigi

+ implement (two lines) the kernel side of 'lookup dscp N' to use the
dscp as a search key in table lookups;

+ (re)implement a sysctl variable to control the expire frequency of
pipes and queues when they become empty;

+ add 'queue number' as optional part of the flow_id. This can be
enabled with the command

queue X config mask queue ...

and makes it possible to support priority-based schedulers, where
packets should be grouped according to the priority and not some
fields in the 5-tuple.
This is implemented as follows:
- redefine a field in the ipfw_flow_id (in sys/netinet/ip_fw.h) but
without changing the size or shape of the structure, so there are
no ABI changes. On passing, also document how other fields are
used, and remove some useless assignments in ip_fw2.c

- implement small changes in the userland code to set/read the field;

- revise the functions in ip_dummynet.c to manipulate masks so they
also handle the additional field;

There are no ABI changes in this commit.


# 205050 11-Mar-2010 luigi

implement listing of a subset of pipes/queues/schedulers.
The filtering of the output is done in the kernel instead of userland
to reduce the amount of data transfered.


# 204591 02-Mar-2010 luigi

Bring in the most recent version of ipfw and dummynet, developed
and tested over the past two months in the ipfw3-head branch. This
also happens to be the same code available in the Linux and Windows
ports of ipfw and dummynet.

The major enhancement is a completely restructured version of
dummynet, with support for different packet scheduling algorithms
(loadable at runtime), faster queue/pipe lookup, and a much cleaner
internal architecture and kernel/userland ABI which simplifies
future extensions.

In addition to the existing schedulers (FIFO and WF2Q+), we include
a Deficit Round Robin (DRR or RR for brevity) scheduler, and a new,
very fast version of WF2Q+ called QFQ.

Some test code is also present (in sys/netinet/ipfw/test) that
lets you build and test schedulers in userland.

Also, we have added a compatibility layer that understands requests
from the RELENG_7 and RELENG_8 versions of the /sbin/ipfw binaries,
and replies correctly (at least, it does its best; sometimes you
just cannot tell who sent the request and how to answer).
The compatibility layer should make it possible to MFC this code in a
relatively short time.

Some minor glitches (e.g. handling of ipfw set enable/disable,
and a workaround for a bug in RELENG_7's /sbin/ipfw) will be
fixed with separate commits.

CREDITS:
This work has been partly supported by the ONELAB2 project, and
mostly developed by Riccardo Panicucci and myself.
The code for the qfq scheduler is mostly from Fabio Checconi,
and Marta Carbone and Francesco Magno have helped with testing,
debugging and some bug fixes.
