# 368183 30-Nov-2020 tuexen

MFC r367530:
RFC 7323 specifies that:
* TCP segments without timestamps should be dropped when support for
the timestamp option has been negotiated.
* TCP segments with timestamps should be processed normally if support
for the timestamp option has not been negotiated.
This patch enforces the above.
Manually resolved merge conflicts.

MFC 367891:
Fix an issue I introuced in r367530: tcp_twcheck() can be called
with to == NULL for SYN segments. So don't assume tp != NULL.
Thanks to jhb@ for reporting and suggesting a fix.

MFC r367946:
Fix two occurences of a typo in a comment introduced in r367530.

MFC r358621:

When using automatically generated flow labels and using TCP SYN
cookies, use the same flow label for the segments sent during the
handshake and after the handshake.
This fixes a bug by making sure that sc_flowlabel is always stored in

MFC r358614:

Don't send an uninitialised traffic class in the IPv6 header, when
sending a TCP segment from the TCP SYN cache (like a SYN-ACK).
This fix initialises it to zero. This is correct for the ECN bits,
but is does not honor the DSCP what an application might have set via
the IPPROTO_IPV6 level socket options IPV6_TCLASS. That will be
fixed separately.

# 348435 30-May-2019 tuexen

MFC r338053:

Don't expose the uptime via the TCP timestamps.

The TCP client side or the TCP server side when not using SYN-cookies
used the uptime as the TCP timestamp value. This patch uses in all
cases an offset, which is the result of a keyed hash function taking
the source and destination addresses and port numbers into account.
The keyed hash function is the same a used for the initial TSN.

The use of
VNET_DEFINE_STATIC(u_char, ts_offset_secret[32]);
had to be replaced by
VNET_DEFINE(u_char, ts_offset_secret[32]);

MFC r348290:

When an ACK segment as the third message of the three way handshake is
received and support for time stamps was negotiated in the SYN/SYNACK
exchange, perform the PAWS check and only expand the syn cache entry if
the check is passed.
Without this check, endpoints may get stuck on the incomplete queue.

# 347153 05-May-2019 tuexen

MFC r335194:
When retransmitting TCP SYN-ACK segments with the TCP timestamp option
enabled use an updated timestamp instead of reusing the one used in
the initial TCP SYN-ACK segment.

This patch ensures that an updated timestamp is used when sending the
SYN-ACK from the syncache code. It was already done if the
SYN-ACK was retransmitted from the generic code.

This makes the behaviour consistent and also conformant with
the TCP specification.

tcp: Don't "negotiate" MSS.

_NO_ OSes actually "negotiate" MSS.

"... This Maximum Segment Size (MSS) announcement (often mistakenly
called a negotiation) ..."

This negotiation behaviour was introduced 11 years ago by r159955

In syncache_respond() do not reply with a MSS that is larger than what
the peer announced to us but make it at least tcp_minmss in size.

IPsec RFC6479 support for replay window sizes up to 2^32 - 32 packets.

Since the previous algorithm, based on bit shifting, does not scale
with large replay windows, the algorithm used here is based on
RFC 6479: IPsec Anti-Replay Algorithm without Bit Shifting.
The replay window will be fast to be updated, but will cost as many bits
in RAM as its size.

The previous implementation did not provide a lock on the replay window,
which may lead to replay issues.

Small summary
-------------

o Almost all IPsec releated code was moved into sys/netipsec.
o New kernel modules added: ipsec.ko and tcpmd5.ko. New kernel
option IPSEC_SUPPORT added. It enables support for loading
and unloading of ipsec.ko and tcpmd5.ko kernel modules.
o IPSEC_NAT_T option was removed. Now NAT-T support is enabled by
default. The UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP_NON_IKE encapsulation type
support was removed. Added TCP/UDP checksum handling for
inbound packets that were decapsulated by transport mode SAs.
setkey(8) modified to show run-time NAT-T configuration of SA.
o New network pseudo interface if_ipsec(4) added. For now it is
build as part of ipsec.ko module (or with IPSEC kernel).
It implements IPsec virtual tunnels to create route-based VPNs.
o The network stack now invokes IPsec functions using special
methods. The only one header file <netipsec/ipsec_support.h>
should be included to declare all the needed things to work
with IPsec.
o All IPsec protocols handlers (ESP/AH/IPCOMP protosw) were removed.
Now these protocols are handled directly via IPsec methods.
o TCP_SIGNATURE support was reworked to be more close to RFC.
o PF_KEY SADB was reworked:
- now all security associations stored in the single SPI namespace,
and all SAs MUST have unique SPI.
- several hash tables added to speed up lookups in SADB.
- SADB now uses rmlock to protect access, and concurrent threads
can do SA lookups in the same time.
- many PF_KEY message handlers were reworked to reflect changes
in SADB.
- SADB_UPDATE message was extended to support new PF_KEY headers:
SADB_X_EXT_NEW_ADDRESS_SRC and SADB_X_EXT_NEW_ADDRESS_DST. They
can be used by IKE daemon to change SA addresses.
o ipsecrequest and secpolicy structures were cardinally changed to
avoid locking protection for ipsecrequest. Now we support
only limited number (4) of bundled SAs, but they are supported
for both INET and INET6.
o INPCB security policy cache was introduced. Each PCB now caches
used security policies to avoid SP lookup for each packet.
o For inbound security policies added the mode, when the kernel does
check for full history of applied IPsec transforms.
o References counting rules for security policies and security
associations were changed. The proper SA locking added into xform
code.
o xform code was also changed. Now it is possible to unregister xforms.
tdb_xxx structures were changed and renamed to reflect changes in
SADB/SPDB, and changed rules for locking and refcounting.

MFC r313331:
Add removed headers into the ObsoleteFiles.inc.

MFC r313561 (by glebius):
Move tcp_fields_to_net() static inline into tcp_var.h, just below its
friend tcp_fields_to_host(). There is third party code that also uses
this inline.

MFC r313697:
Remove IPsec related PCB code from SCTP.

The inpcb structure has inp_sp pointer that is initialized by
ipsec_init_pcbpolicy() function. This pointer keeps strorage for IPsec
security policies associated with a specific socket.
An application can use IP_IPSEC_POLICY and IPV6_IPSEC_POLICY socket
options to configure these security policies. Then ip[6]_output()
uses inpcb pointer to specify that an outgoing packet is associated
with some socket. And IPSEC_OUTPUT() method can use a security policy
stored in the inp_sp. For inbound packet the protocol-specific input
routine uses IPSEC_CHECK_POLICY() method to check that a packet conforms
to inbound security policy configured in the inpcb.

SCTP protocol doesn't specify inpcb for ip[6]_output() when it sends
packets. Thus IPSEC_OUTPUT() method does not consider such packets as
associated with some socket and can not apply security policies
from inpcb, even if they are configured. Since IPSEC_CHECK_POLICY()
method is called from protocol-specific input routine, it can specify
inpcb pointer and associated with socket inbound policy will be
checked. But there are two problems:
1. Such check is asymmetric, becasue we can not apply security policy
from inpcb for outgoing packet.
2. IPSEC_CHECK_POLICY() expects that caller holds INPCB lock and
access to inp_sp is protected. But for SCTP this is not correct,
becasue SCTP uses own locks to protect inpcb.

To fix these problems remove IPsec related PCB code from SCTP.
This imply that IP_IPSEC_POLICY and IPV6_IPSEC_POLICY socket options
will be not applicable to SCTP sockets. To be able correctly check
inbound security policies for SCTP, mark its protocol header with
the PR_LASTHDR flag.

MFC r314812:
Introduce the concept of IPsec security policies scope.

Currently are defined three scopes: global, ifnet, and pcb.
Generic security policies that IKE daemon can add via PF_KEY interface
or an administrator creates with setkey(8) utility have GLOBAL scope.
Such policies can be applied by the kernel to outgoing packets and checked
agains inbound packets after IPsec processing.
Security policies created by if_ipsec(4) interfaces have IFNET scope.
Such policies are applied to packets that are passed through if_ipsec(4)
interface.
And security policies created by application using setsockopt()
IP_IPSEC_POLICY option have PCB scope. Such policies are applied to
packets related to specific socket. Currently there is no way to list
PCB policies via setkey(8) utility.

Modify setkey(8) and libipsec(3) to be able distinguish the scope of
security policies in the `setkey -DP` listing. Add two optional flags:
'-t' to list only policies related to virtual *tunneling* interfaces,
i.e. policies with IFNET scope, and '-g' to list only policies with GLOBAL
scope. By default policies from all scopes are listed.

To implement this PF_KEY's sadb_x_policy structure was modified.
sadb_x_policy_reserved field is used to pass the policy scope from the
kernel to userland. SADB_SPDDUMP message extended to support filtering
by scope: sadb_msg_satype field is used to specify bit mask of requested
scopes.

For IFNET policies the sadb_x_policy_priority field of struct sadb_x_policy
is used to pass if_ipsec's interface if_index to the userland. For GLOBAL
policies sadb_x_policy_priority is used only to manage order of security
policies in the SPDB. For IFNET policies it is not used, so it can be used
to keep if_index.

After this change the output of `setkey -DP` now looks like:
# setkey -DPt
0.0.0.0/0[any] 0.0.0.0/0[any] any
in ipsec
esp/tunnel/87.250.242.144-87.250.242.145/unique:145

# 309548 04-Dec-2016 hiren

MFC r308943

For RTT calculations mid-session, we explicitly ignore ACKs with tsecr of 0 as
many borken middle-boxes tend to do that. But during 3whs, in syncache_expand(),
we don't do that which causes us to send a RST to such a client. Relax this
constraint by only using tsecr to compare against timestamp that we sent when it
is not 0. As a result, we'd now accept the final ACK of 3whs with tsecr of 0.

Use Jenkins hash for TCP syncache.

o Unlike xor, in Jenkins hash every bit of input affects virtually
every bit of output, thus salting the hash actually works. With
xor salting only provides a false sense of security, since if
hash(x) collides with hash(y), then of course, hash(x) ^ salt
would also collide with hash(y) ^ salt. [1]
o Jenkins provides much better distribution than xor, very close to
ideal.

TCP connection setup/teardown benchmark has shown a 10% increase
with default hash size, and with bigger hashes that still provide
possibility for collisions. With enormous hash size, when dataset is
by an order of magnitude smaller than hash size, the benchmark has
shown 4% decrease in performance decrease, which is expected and

Start process of removing the use of the deprecated "M_FLOWID" flag
from the FreeBSD network code. The flag is still kept around in the
"sys/mbuf.h" header file, but does no longer have any users. Instead
the "m_pkthdr.rsstype" field in the mbuf structure is now used to
decide the meaning of the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. To modify the
"m_pkthdr.rsstype" field please use the existing "M_HASHTYPE_XXX"
macros as defined in the "sys/mbuf.h" header file.

This patch introduces new behaviour in the transmit direction.
Previously network drivers checked if "M_FLOWID" was set in "m_flags"
before using the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. This check has now now been
replaced by checking if "M_HASHTYPE_GET(m)" is different from
"M_HASHTYPE_NONE". In the future more hashtypes will be added, for
example hashtypes for hardware dedicated flows.

"M_HASHTYPE_OPAQUE" indicates that the "m_pkthdr.flowid" value is
valid and has no particular type. This change removes the need for an
"if" statement in TCP transmit code checking for the presence of a
valid flowid value. The "if" statement mentioned above is now a direct
variable assignment which is then later checked by the respective
network drivers like before.

Additional notes:
- The SCTP code changes will be committed as a separate patch.
- Removal of the "M_FLOWID" flag will also be done separately.
- The FreeBSD version has been bumped.

Free the non-fatal "timestamp missing" debug string manually as it is

# 253210 11-Jul-2013 andre

Improve SYN cookies by encoding the MSS, WSCALE (window scaling) and SACK
information into the ISN (initial sequence number) without the additional
use of timestamp bits and switching to the very fast and cryptographically
strong SipHash-2-4 MAC hash algorithm to protect the SYN cookie against
forgeries.

The purpose of SYN cookies is to encode all necessary session state in
the 32 bits of our initial sequence number to avoid storing any information
locally in memory. This is especially important when under heavy spoofed
SYN attacks where we would either run out of memory or the syncache would
fill with bogus connection attempts swamping out legitimate connections.

The original SYN cookies method only stored an indexed MSS values in the
cookie. This isn't sufficient anymore and breaks down in the presence of
WSCALE information which is only exchanged during SYN and SYN-ACK. If we
can't keep track of it then we may severely underestimate the available
send or receive window. This is compounded with large windows whose size
information on the TCP segment header is even lower numerically. A number
of years back SYN cookies were extended to store the additional state in
the TCP timestamp fields, if available on a connection. While timestamps
are common among the BSD, Linux and other *nix systems Windows never enabled
them by default and thus are not present for the vast majority of clients
seen on the Internet.

The common parameters used on TCP sessions have changed quite a bit since
SYN cookies very invented some 17 years ago. Today we have a lot more
bandwidth available making the use window scaling almost mandatory. Also
SACK has become standard making recovering from packet loss much more
efficient.

This change moves all necessary information into the ISS removing the need
for timestamps. Both the MSS (16 bits) and send WSCALE (4 bits) are stored
in 3 bit indexed form together with a single bit for SACK. While this is
significantly less than the original range, it is sufficient to encode all
common values with minimal rounding.

The MSS depends on the MTU of the path and with the dominance of ethernet
the main value seen is around 1460 bytes. Encapsulations for DSL lines
and some other overheads reduce it by a few more bytes for many connections
seen. Rounding down to the next lower value in some cases isn't a problem
as we send only slightly more packets for the same amount of data.

The send WSCALE index is bit more tricky as rounding down under-estimates
the available send space available towards the remote host, however a small
number values dominate and are carefully selected again.

The receive WSCALE isn't encoded at all but recalculated based on the local
receive socket buffer size when a valid SYN cookie returns. A listen socket
buffer size is unlikely to change while active.

The index values for MSS and WSCALE are selected for minimal rounding errors
based on large traffic surveys. These values have to be periodically
validated against newer traffic surveys adjusting the arrays tcp_sc_msstab[]
and tcp_sc_wstab[] if necessary.

In addition the hash MAC to protect the SYN cookies is changed from MD5
to SipHash-2-4, a much faster and cryptographically secure algorithm.

It turns out that too many drivers are not only parsing the L2/3/4
headers for TSO but also for generic checksum offloading. Ideally we
would only have one common function shared amongst all drivers, and
perhaps when updating them for IPv6 we should introduce that.
Eventually we should provide the meta information along with mbufs to
avoid (re-)parsing entirely.

To not break IPv6 (checksums and offload) and to be able to MFC the
changes without risking to hurt 3rd party drivers, duplicate the v4
framework, as other OSes have done as well.

Introduce interface capability flags for TX/RX checksum offload with
IPv6, to allow independent toggling (where possible). Add CSUM_*_IPV6
flags for UDP/TCP over IPv6, and reserve further for SCTP, and IPv6
fragmentation. Define CSUM_DELAY_DATA_IPV6 as we do for legacy IP and
add an alias for CSUM_DATA_VALID_IPV6.

This pretty much brings IPv6 handling in line with IPv4.
TSO is still handled in a different way and not via if_hwassist.

Update ifconfig to allow (un)setting of the new capability flags.

# 222748 06-Jun-2011 rwatson

Implement a CPU-affine TCP and UDP connection lookup data structure,
struct inpcbgroup. pcbgroups, or "connection groups", supplement the
existing inpcbinfo connection hash table, which when pcbgroups are
enabled, might now be thought of more usefully as a per-protocol
4-tuple reservation table.

Connections are assigned to connection groups base on a hash of their
4-tuple; wildcard sockets require special handling, and are members
of all connection groups. During a connection lookup, a
per-connection group lock is employed rather than the global pcbinfo
lock. By aligning connection groups with input path processing,
connection groups take on an effective CPU affinity, especially when
aligned with RSS work placement (see a forthcoming commit for
details). This eliminates cache line migration associated with
global, protocol-layer data structures in steady state TCP and UDP
processing (with the exception of protocol-layer statistics; further
commit to follow).

Elements of this approach were inspired by Willman, Rixner, and Cox's
2006 USENIX paper, "An Evaluation of Network Stack Parallelization
Strategies in Modern Operating Systems". However, there are also
significant differences: we maintain the inpcb lock, rather than using
the connection group lock for per-connection state.

Likewise, the focus of this implementation is alignment with NIC
packet distribution strategies such as RSS, rather than pure software
strategies. Despite that focus, software distribution is supported
through the parallel netisr implementation, and works well in
configurations where the number of hardware threads is greater than
the number of NIC input queues, such as in the RMI XLR threaded MIPS
architecture.

Another important difference is the continued maintenance of existing
hash tables as "reservation tables" -- these are useful both to
distinguish the resource allocation aspect of protocol name management
and the more common-case lookup aspect. In configurations where
connection tables are aligned with hardware hashes, it is desirable to
use the traditional lookup tables for loopback or encapsulated traffic
rather than take the expense of hardware hashes that are hard to
implement efficiently in software (such as RSS Toeplitz).

Connection group support is enabled by compiling "options PCBGROUP"
into your kernel configuration; for the time being, this is an
experimental feature, and hence is not enabled by default.

Subject to the limited MFCability of change dependencies in inpcb,
and its change to the inpcbinfo init function signature, this change
in principle could be merged to FreeBSD 8.x.

Add notes that it would be nice to be able to pass mbufs into lookup

# 222488 30-May-2011 rwatson

Decompose the current single inpcbinfo lock into two locks:

- The existing ipi_lock continues to protect the global inpcb list and
inpcb counter. This lock is now relegated to a small number of
allocation and free operations, and occasional operations that walk
all connections (including, awkwardly, certain UDP multicast receive
operations -- something to revisit).

- A new ipi_hash_lock protects the two inpcbinfo hash tables for
looking up connections and bound sockets, manipulated using new
INP_HASH_*() macros. This lock, combined with inpcb locks, protects
the 4-tuple address space.

Unlike the current ipi_lock, ipi_hash_lock follows the individual inpcb
connection locks, so may be acquired while manipulating a connection on
which a lock is already held, avoiding the need to acquire the inpcbinfo
lock preemptively when a binding change might later be required. As a
result, however, lookup operations necessarily go through a reference
acquire while holding the lookup lock, later acquiring an inpcb lock --
if required.

A new function in_pcblookup() looks up connections, and accepts flags
indicating how to return the inpcb. Due to lock order changes, callers
no longer need acquire locks before performing a lookup: the lookup
routine will acquire the ipi_hash_lock as needed. In the future, it will
also be able to use alternative lookup and locking strategies
transparently to callers, such as pcbgroup lookup. New lookup flags are,
supplementing the existing INPLOOKUP_WILDCARD flag:

INPLOOKUP_RLOCKPCB - Acquire a read lock on the returned inpcb
INPLOOKUP_WLOCKPCB - Acquire a write lock on the returned inpcb

Callers must pass exactly one of these flags (for the time being).

Some notes:

- All protocols are updated to work within the new regime; especially,
TCP, UDPv4, and UDPv6. pcbinfo ipi_lock acquisitions are largely
eliminated, and global hash lock hold times are dramatically reduced
compared to previous locking.
- The TCP syncache still relies on the pcbinfo lock, something that we
may want to revisit.
- Support for reverting to the FreeBSD 7.x locking strategy in TCP input
is no longer available -- hash lookup locks are now held only very
briefly during inpcb lookup, rather than for potentially extended
periods. However, the pcbinfo ipi_lock will still be acquired if a
connection state might change such that a connection is added or
removed.
- Raw IP sockets continue to use the pcbinfo ipi_lock for protection,
due to maintaining their own hash tables.
- The interface in6_pcblookup_hash_locked() is maintained, which allows
callers to acquire hash locks and perform one or more lookups atomically
with 4-tuple allocation: this is required only for TCPv6, as there is no
in6_pcbconnect_setup(), which there should be.
- UDPv6 locking remains significantly more conservative than UDPv4
locking, which relates to source address selection. This needs
attention, as it likely significantly reduces parallelism in this code
for multithreaded socket use (such as in BIND).
- In the UDPv4 and UDPv6 multicast cases, we need to revisit locking
somewhat, as they relied on ipi_lock to stablise 4-tuple matches, which
is no longer sufficient. A second check once the inpcb lock is held
should do the trick, keeping the general case from requiring the inpcb
lock for every inpcb visited.
- This work reminds us that we need to revisit locking of the v4/v6 flags,
which may be accessed lock-free both before and after this change.
- Right now, a single lock name is used for the pcbhash lock -- this is
undesirable, and probably another argument is required to take care of
this (or a char array name field in the pcbinfo?).

This is not an MFC candidate for 8.x due to its impact on lookup and
locking semantics. It's possible some of these issues could be worked
around with compatibility wrappers, if necessary.

Fix a bug in syncache where the initial CWND for new incoming connections
was limited to one segment under the faulty assumption of a retransmit.
Due to this the opportunity to initialize the increased congestion window
according to RFC3390 was missed.

Support for RFC3465 introduced in r187289 uncovered the bug as the ACK
to SYN/ACK no longer caused snd_cwnd increase by MSS (actually, this
increase shouldn't happen as it's explicitly forbidden by RFC3390, but
it's another issue). Snd_cwnd remains really small (1*MSS + 1) and this
causes really bad interaction with delayed acks on other side.

The variable name sc_rxmits is a bit misleading as it counts all transmits,
not just retransmits.

Build on Jeff Roberson's linker-set based dynamic per-CPU allocator
(DPCPU), as suggested by Peter Wemm, and implement a new per-virtual
network stack memory allocator. Modify vnet to use the allocator
instead of monolithic global container structures (vinet, ...). This
change solves many binary compatibility problems associated with
VIMAGE, and restores ELF symbols for virtualized global variables.

Each virtualized global variable exists as a "reference copy", and also
once per virtual network stack. Virtualized global variables are
tagged at compile-time, placing the in a special linker set, which is
loaded into a contiguous region of kernel memory. Virtualized global
variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules
are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet
region with the help of a the kernel linker.

Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the
network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from
the reference copy. Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which
converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet
address. When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal
global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided.

This change restores static initialization for network stack global
variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates
the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem
structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for
monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the
per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the
need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate
definitions of virtualized globals under VIMAGE_GLOBALS.

Introduce an infrastructure for dismantling vnet instances.

Vnet modules and protocol domains may now register destructor
functions to clean up and release per-module state. The destructor
mechanisms can be triggered by invoking "vimage -d", or a future
equivalent command which will be provided via the new jail framework.

While this patch introduces numerous placeholder destructor functions,
many of those are currently incomplete, thus leaking memory or (even
worse) failing to stop all running timers. Many of such issues are
already known and will be incrementaly fixed over the next weeks in
smaller incremental commits.

Apart from introducing new fields in structs ifnet, domain, protosw
and vnet_net, which requires the kernel and modules to be rebuilt, this
change should have no impact on nooptions VIMAGE builds, since vnet
destructors can only be called in VIMAGE kernels. Moreover,

# 193332 02-Jun-2009 rwatson

Add internal 'mac_policy_count' counter to the MAC Framework, which is a

Rather than unconditionally locking sockets before passing them into MAC,
lock them in the MAC entry points only if mac_policy_count is non-zero.

This avoids locking overhead for a number of socket system calls when no
policies are registered, eliminating measurable overhead for the MAC
Framework for the socket subsystem when there are no active policies.

Possibly socket locks should be acquired by policies if they are required
for socket labels, which would further avoid locking overhead when there
are policies but they don't require labeling of sockets, or possibly
don't even implement socket controls.

Permit buiding kernels with options VIMAGE, restricted to only a single
active network stack instance. Turning on options VIMAGE at compile
time yields the following changes relative to default kernel build:

1) V_ accessor macros for virtualized variables resolve to structure
fields via base pointers, instead of being resolved as fields in global
structs or plain global variables. As an example, V_ifnet becomes:

options VIMAGE: ((struct vnet_net *) vnet_net)->_ifnet
default build: vnet_net_0._ifnet
options VIMAGE_GLOBALS: ifnet

2) INIT_VNET_* macros will declare and set up base pointers to be used
by V_ accessor macros, instead of resolving to whitespace:

INIT_VNET_NET(ifp->if_vnet); becomes

struct vnet_net *vnet_net = (ifp->if_vnet)->mod_data[VNET_MOD_NET];

3) Memory for vnet modules registered via vnet_mod_register() is now
allocated at run time in sys/kern/kern_vimage.c, instead of per vnet
module structs being declared as globals. If required, vnet modules
can now request the framework to provide them with allocated bzeroed
memory by filling in the vmi_size field in their vmi_modinfo structures.

4) structs socket, ifnet, inpcbinfo, tcpcb and syncache_head are
extended to hold a pointer to the parent vnet. options VIMAGE builds
will fill in those fields as required.

5) curvnet is introduced as a new global variable in options VIMAGE
builds, always pointing to the default and only struct vnet.

6) struct sysctl_oid has been extended with additional two fields to
store major and minor virtualization module identifiers, oid_v_subs and
oid_v_mod. SYSCTL_V_* family of macros will fill in those fields
accordingly, and store the offset in the appropriate vnet container
struct in oid_arg1.
In sysctl handlers dealing with virtualized sysctls, the
SYSCTL_RESOLVE_V_ARG1() macro will compute the address of the target
variable and make it available in arg1 variable for further processing.

Add code to allow the system to handle multiple routing tables.
This particular implementation is designed to be fully backwards compatible
and to be MFC-able to 7.x (and 6.x)

Currently the only protocol that can make use of the multiple tables is IPv4
Similar functionality exists in OpenBSD and Linux.

From my notes:

-----

One thing where FreeBSD has been falling behind, and which by chance I
have some time to work on is "policy based routing", which allows
different
packet streams to be routed by more than just the destination address.

Constraints:
------------

I want to make some form of this available in the 6.x tree
(and by extension 7.x) , but FreeBSD in general needs it so I might as
well do it in -current and back port the portions I need.

One of the ways that this can be done is to have the ability to
instantiate multiple kernel routing tables (which I will now
refer to as "Forwarding Information Bases" or "FIBs" for political
correctness reasons). Which FIB a particular packet uses to make
the next hop decision can be decided by a number of mechanisms.
The policies these mechanisms implement are the "Policies" referred
to in "Policy based routing".

One of the constraints I have if I try to back port this work to
6.x is that it must be implemented as a EXTENSION to the existing
ABIs in 6.x so that third party applications do not need to be
recompiled in timespan of the branch.

This first version will not have some of the bells and whistles that
will come with later versions. It will, for example, be limited to 16
tables in the first commit.
Implementation method, Compatible version. (part 1)
-------------------------------
For this reason I have implemented a "sufficient subset" of a
multiple routing table solution in Perforce, and back-ported it
to 6.x. (also in Perforce though not always caught up with what I
have done in -current/P4). The subset allows a number of FIBs
to be defined at compile time (8 is sufficient for my purposes in 6.x)
and implements the changes needed to allow IPV4 to use them. I have not
done the changes for ipv6 simply because I do not need it, and I do not
have enough knowledge of ipv6 (e.g. neighbor discovery) needed to do it.

Other protocol families are left untouched and should there be
users with proprietary protocol families, they should continue to work
and be oblivious to the existence of the extra FIBs.

To understand how this is done, one must know that the current FIB
code starts everything off with a single dimensional array of
pointers to FIB head structures (One per protocol family), each of
which in turn points to the trie of routes available to that family.

The basic change in the ABI compatible version of the change is to
extent that array to be a 2 dimensional array, so that
instead of protocol family X looking at rt_tables[X] for the
table it needs, it looks at rt_tables[Y][X] when for all
protocol families except ipv4 Y is always 0.
Code that is unaware of the change always just sees the first row
of the table, which of course looks just like the one dimensional
array that existed before.

The entry points rtrequest(), rtalloc(), rtalloc1(), rtalloc_ign()
are all maintained, but refer only to the first row of the array,
so that existing callers in proprietary protocols can continue to
do the "right thing".
Some new entry points are added, for the exclusive use of ipv4 code
called in_rtrequest(), in_rtalloc(), in_rtalloc1() and in_rtalloc_ign(),
which have an extra argument which refers the code to the correct row.

In addition, there are some new entry points (currently called
rtalloc_fib() and friends) that check the Address family being
looked up and call either rtalloc() (and friends) if the protocol
is not IPv4 forcing the action to row 0 or to the appropriate row
if it IS IPv4 (and that info is available). These are for calling
from code that is not specific to any particular protocol. The way
these are implemented would change in the non ABI preserving code
to be added later.

One feature of the first version of the code is that for ipv4,
the interface routes show up automatically on all the FIBs, so
that no matter what FIB you select you always have the basic
direct attached hosts available to you. (rtinit() does this
automatically).

You CAN delete an interface route from one FIB should you want
to but by default it's there. ARP information is also available
in each FIB. It's assumed that the same machine would have the
same MAC address, regardless of which FIB you are using to get
to it.

This brings us as to how the correct FIB is selected for an outgoing
IPV4 packet.

Firstly, all packets have a FIB associated with them. if nothing
has been done to change it, it will be FIB 0. The FIB is changed
in the following ways.

Packets fall into one of a number of classes.

1/ locally generated packets, coming from a socket/PCB.
Such packets select a FIB from a number associated with the
socket/PCB. This in turn is inherited from the process,
but can be changed by a socket option. The process in turn
inherits it on fork. I have written a utility call setfib
that acts a bit like nice..

setfib -3 ping target.example.com # will use fib 3 for ping.

It is an obvious extension to make it a property of a jail
but I have not done so. It can be achieved by combining the setfib and
jail commands.

2/ packets received on an interface for forwarding.
By default these packets would use table 0,
(or possibly a number settable in a sysctl(not yet)).
but prior to routing the firewall can inspect them (see below).
(possibly in the future you may be able to associate a FIB
with packets received on an interface.. An ifconfig arg, but not yet.)

3/ packets inspected by a packet classifier, which can arbitrarily
associate a fib with it on a packet by packet basis.
A fib assigned to a packet by a packet classifier
(such as ipfw) would over-ride a fib associated by
a more default source. (such as cases 1 or 2).

4/ a tcp listen socket associated with a fib will generate
accept sockets that are associated with that same fib.

5/ Packets generated in response to some other packet (e.g. reset
or icmp packets). These should use the FIB associated with the
packet being reponded to.

6/ Packets generated during encapsulation.
gif, tun and other tunnel interfaces will encapsulate using the FIB
that was in effect withthe proces that set up the tunnel.
thus setfib 1 ifconfig gif0 [tunnel instructions]
will set the fib for the tunnel to use to be fib 1.

Routing messages would be associated with their
process, and thus select one FIB or another.
messages from the kernel would be associated with the fib they
refer to and would only be received by a routing socket associated
with that fib. (not yet implemented)

In addition Netstat has been edited to be able to cope with the
fact that the array is now 2 dimensional. (It looks in system
memory using libkvm (!)). Old versions of netstat see only the first FIB.

In addition two sysctls are added to give:
a) the number of FIBs compiled in (active)
b) the default FIB of the calling process.

Early testing experience:
-------------------------

Basically our (IronPort's) appliance does this functionality already
using ipfw fwd but that method has some drawbacks.

For example,
It can't fully simulate a routing table because it can't influence the
socket's choice of local address when a connect() is done.

Testing during the generating of these changes has been
remarkably smooth so far. Multiple tables have co-existed
with no notable side effects, and packets have been routes
accordingly.

ipfw has grown 2 new keywords:

setfib N ip from anay to any
count ip from any to any fib N

In pf there seems to be a requirement to be able to give symbolic names to the
fibs but I do not have that capacity. I am not sure if it is required.

SCTP has interestingly enough built in support for this, called VRFs
in Cisco parlance. it will be interesting to see how that handles it
when it suddenly actually does something.

Where to next:
--------------------

After committing the ABI compatible version and MFCing it, I'd
like to proceed in a forward direction in -current. this will
result in some roto-tilling in the routing code.

Firstly: the current code's idea of having a separate tree per
protocol family, all of the same format, and pointed to by the
1 dimensional array is a bit silly. Especially when one considers that
there is code that makes assumptions about every protocol having the
same internal structures there. Some protocols don't WANT that
sort of structure. (for example the whole idea of a netmask is foreign
to appletalk). This needs to be made opaque to the external code.

My suggested first change is to add routing method pointers to the
'domain' structure, along with information pointing the data.
instead of having an array of pointers to uniform structures,
there would be an array pointing to the 'domain' structures
for each protocol address domain (protocol family),
and the methods this reached would be called. The methods would have
an argument that gives FIB number, but the protocol would be free
to ignore it.

When the ABI can be changed it raises the possibilty of the
addition of a fib entry into the "struct route". Currently,
the structure contains the sockaddr of the desination, and the resulting
fib entry. To make this work fully, one could add a fib number
so that given an address and a fib, one can find the third element, the
fib entry.

Interaction with the ARP layer/ LL layer would need to be
revisited as well. Qing Li has been working on this already.

move tcbinfo lock acquisition in to syncache


# 178285 17-Apr-2008 rwatson

Convert pcbinfo and inpcb mutexes to rwlocks, and modify macros to
explicitly select write locking for all use of the inpcb mutex.
Update some pcbinfo lock assertions to assert locked rather than
write-locked, although in practice almost all uses of the pcbinfo
rwlock main exclusive, and all instances of inpcb lock acquisition
are exclusive.

This change should introduce (ideally) little functional change.
However, it lays the groundwork for significantly increased

# 174775 19-Dec-2007 ru

Fix bugs in the TCP syncache timeout code. including:

When system ticks are positive, for entries in the cache
bucket, syncache_timer() ran on every tick (doing nothing
useful) instead of the supposed 3, 6, 12, and 24 seconds
later (when it's time to retransmit SYN,ACK).

When ticks are negative, syncache_timer() was scheduled
for the too far future (up to ~25 days on systems with
HZ=1000), no SYN,ACK retransmits were attempted at all,
and syncache entries added in that period that correspond
to non-established connections stay there forever.

Only HEAD and RELENG_7 are affected.

Pick the smallest possible TCP window scaling factor that will still allow
us to scale up to sb_max, aka kern.ipc.maxsockbuf.

We do this because there are broken firewalls that will corrupt the window
scale option, leading to the other endpoint believing that our advertised
window is unscaled. At scale factors larger than 5 the unscaled window will
drop below 1500 bytes, leading to serious problems when traversing these
broken firewalls.

With the default maxsockbuf of 256K, a scale factor of 3 will be chosen by
this algorithm. Those who choose a larger maxsockbuf should watch out

Enforcement of the accept queue limits is done by sonewconn() after the

For both cases an RST is sent back in tcp_input().

it to tcp_dropwithreset() to issue a RST to the peer.

Change the way the advertized TCP window scaling is computed. Instead of
upper-bounding it to the size of the initial socket buffer lower-bound it
to the smallest MSS we accept. Ideally we'd use the actual MSS information
here but it is not available yet.

For socket buffer auto sizing to be effective we need room to grow the
receive window. The window scale shift is determined at connection setup
and can't be changed afterwards. The previous, original, method effectively
just did a power of two roundup of the socket buffer size at connection
setup severely limiting the headroom for larger socket buffers.

# 165149 13-Dec-2006 csjp

Fix LOR between the syncache and inpcb locks when MAC is present in the
kernel. This LOR snuck in with some of the recent syncache changes. To
fix this, the inpcb handling was changed:

- Hang a MAC label off the syncache object
- When the syncache entry is initially created, we pickup the PCB lock
is held because we extract information from it while initializing the
syncache entry. While we do this, copy the MAC label associated with
the PCB and use it for the syncache entry.
- When the packet is transmitted, copy the label from the syncache entry
to the mbuf so it can be processed by security policies which analyze
mbuf labels.

This change required that the MAC framework be extended to support the
label copy operations from the PCB to the syncache entry, and then from
the syncache entry to the mbuf.

These functions really should be referencing the syncache structure instead
of the label. However, due to some of the complexities associated with
exposing this syncache structure we operate directly on it's label pointer.
This should be OK since we aren't making any access control decisions within
this code directly, we are merely allocating and copying label storage so
we can properly initialize mbuf labels for any packets the syncache code
might create.

This also has a nice side effect of caching. Prior to this change, the
PCB would be looked up/locked for each packet transmitted. Now the label
is cached at the time the syncache entry is initialized.

Rewrite of TCP syncookies to remove locking requirements and to enhance
functionality:

- Remove a rwlock aquisition/release per generated syncookie. Locking
is now integrated with the bucket row locking of syncache itself and
syncookies no longer add any additional lock overhead.
- Syncookie secrets are different for and stored per syncache buck row.
Secrets expire after 16 seconds and are reseeded on-demand.
- The computational overhead for syncookie generation and verification
is one MD5 hash computation as before.
- Syncache can be turned off and run with syncookies only by setting the
sysctl net.inet.tcp.syncookies_only=1.

This implementation extends the orginal idea and first implementation
of FreeBSD by using not only the initial sequence number field to store
information but also the timestamp field if present. This way we can
keep track of the entire state we need to know to recreate the session in
its original form. Almost all TCP speakers implement RFC1323 timestamps
these days. For those that do not we still have to live with the known
shortcomings of the ISN only SYN cookies. The use of the timestamp field
causes the timestamps to be randomized if syncookies are enabled.

The idea of SYN cookies is to encode and include all necessary information
about the connection setup state within the SYN-ACK we send back and thus
to get along without keeping any local state until the ACK to the SYN-ACK
arrives (if ever). Everything we need to know should be available from
the information we encoded in the SYN-ACK.

A detailed description of the inner working of the syncookies mechanism
is included in the comments in tcp_syncache.c.

Add locking to TCP syncache and drop the global tcpinfo lock as early

parallel with bucket granularity.

On a P4 the additional locks cause a slight degression of 0.7% in tcp
connections per second. When IP and TCP input are deserialized and
can run in parallel this little overhead can be neglected. The syncookie
handling still leaves room for improvement and its random salts may be
moved to the syncache bucket head structures to remove the second lock
operation currently required for it. However this would be a more
involved change from the way syncookies work at the moment.

Remove RFC1644 T/TCP support from the TCP side of the network stack.

A complete rationale and discussion is given in this message
and the resulting discussion:

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?4177C8AD.6060706

Note that this commit removes only the functional part of T/TCP
from the tcp_* related functions in the kernel. Other features
introduced with RFC1644 are left intact (socket layer changes,
sendmsg(2) on connection oriented protocols) and are meant to
be reused by a simpler and less intrusive reimplemention of the
previous T/TCP functionality.

# 135274 15-Sep-2004 andre

Remove the last two global variables that are used to store packet state while
it travels through the IP stack. This wasn't much of a problem because IP
source routing is disabled by default but when enabled together with SMP and
preemption it would have very likely cross-corrupted the IP options in transit.

The IP source route options of a packet are now stored in a mtag instead of the
global variable.

Get rid of the RANDOM_IP_ID option and make it a sysctl. NetBSD
have already done this, so I have styled the patch on their work:

1) introduce a ip_newid() static inline function that checks
the sysctl and then decides if it should return a sequential
or random IP ID.

2) named the sysctl net.inet.ip.random_id

3) IPv6 flow IDs and fragment IDs are now always random.
Flow IDs and frag IDs are significantly less common in the
IPv6 world (ie. rarely generated per-packet), so there should
be smaller performance concerns.

The sysctl defaults to 0 (sequential IP IDs).

The tcp syncache code was leaving the IPv6 flowlabel uninitialised
for the SYN|ACK packet and then letting in6_pcbconnect set the
flowlabel later. Arange for the syncache/syncookie code to set and
recall the flow label so that the flowlabel used for the SYN|ACK

Switch to using the inpcb MAC label instead of socket MAC label when
labeling new mbufs created from sockets/inpcbs in IPv4. This helps avoid
the need for socket layer locking in the lower level network paths
where inpcb locks are already frequently held where needed. In
particular:

- Use the inpcb for label instead of socket in raw_append().
- Use the inpcb for label instead of socket in tcp_output().
- Use the inpcb for label instead of socket in tcp_respond().
- Use the inpcb for label instead of socket in tcp_twrespond().
- Use the inpcb for label instead of socket in syncache_respond().

While here, modify tcp_respond() to avoid assigning NULL to a stack
variable and centralize assertions about the inpcb when inp is
assigned.

Initial import of RFC 2385 (TCP-MD5) digest support.

This is the first of two commits; bringing in the kernel support first.
This can be enabled by compiling a kernel with options TCP_SIGNATURE
and FAST_IPSEC.

For the uninitiated, this is a TCP option which provides for a means of
authenticating TCP sessions which came into being before IPSEC. It is
still relevant today, however, as it is used by many commercial router
vendors, particularly with BGP, and as such has become a requirement for
interconnect at many major Internet points of presence.

Several parts of the TCP and IP headers, including the segment payload,
are digested with MD5, including a shared secret. The PF_KEY interface
is used to manage the secrets using security associations in the SADB.

There is a limitation here in that as there is no way to map a TCP flow
per-port back to an SPI without polluting tcpcb or using the SPD; the
code to do the latter is unstable at this time. Therefore this code only
supports per-host keying granularity.

Whilst FAST_IPSEC is mutually exclusive with KAME IPSEC (and thus IPv6),
TCP_SIGNATURE applies only to IPv4. For the vast majority of prospective
users of this feature, this will not pose any problem.

This implementation is output-only; that is, the option is honoured when
responding to a host initiating a TCP session, but no effort is made
[yet] to authenticate inbound traffic. This is, however, sufficient to
interwork with Cisco equipment.

Tested with a Cisco 2501 running IOS 12.0(27), and Quagga 0.96.4 with
local patches. Patches for tcpdump to validate TCP-MD5 sessions are also
available from me upon request.

Introduce tcp_hostcache and remove the tcp specific metrics from

from the routing table metrics to the tcp hostcache.

It caches measured parameters of past tcp sessions to provide better
initial start values for following connections from or to the same
source or destination. Depending on the network parameters to/from
the remote host this can lead to significant speedups for new tcp
connections after the first one because they inherit and shortcut
the learning curve.

tcp_hostcache is designed for multiple concurrent access in SMP
environments with high contention and is hash indexed by remote
ip address.

It removes significant locking requirements from the tcp stack with
regard to the routing table.

Improve the security and performance of syncookies:

Security improvements:
- Increase the size of each syncookie secret from 32 to 128 bits
in order to make brute force attacks on the secrets much more
difficult.
- Always return the lowest order dword from the MD5 hash; this
allows us to expose 2 more bits of the cookie and makes ACK
floods which seek to guess the cookie value more difficult.

Performance improvements:
- Increase the lifetime of each syncookie from 4 seconds to 16
seconds. This increases the usefulness of syncookies during
an attack.
- From Yahoo!: Reduce the number of calls to MD5Update; this
results in a ~17% increase in cookie generation time here.
