# 301114 01-Jun-2016 bz

The pr_destroy field does not allow us to run the teardown code in a
specific order. VNET_SYSUNINITs however are doing exactly that.
Thus remove the VIMAGE conditional field from the domain(9) protosw
structure and replace it with VNET_SYSUNINITs.
This also allows us to change some order and to make the teardown functions
file local static.
Also convert divert(4) as it uses the same mechanism ip(4) and ip6(4) use
internally.

Slightly reshuffle the SI_SUB_* fields in kernel.h and add a new ones, e.g.,
for pfil consumers (firewalls), partially for this commit and for others

# 296242 01-Mar-2016 glebius

New way to manage reference counting of mbuf external storage.

The m_ext.ext_cnt pointer becomes a union. It can now hold the refcount
value itself. To tell that m_ext.ext_flags flag EXT_FLAG_EMBREF is used.
The first mbuf to attach a cluster stores the refcount. The further mbufs
to reference the cluster point at refcount in the first mbuf. The first
mbuf is freed only when the last reference is freed.

The benefit over refcounts stored in separate slabs is that now refcounts
of different, unrelated mbufs do not share a cache line.

For EXT_EXTREF mbufs the zone_ext_refcnt is no longer needed, and m_extadd()
becomes void, making widely used M_EXTADD macro safe.

For EXT_SFBUF mbufs the sf_ext_ref() is removed, which was an optimization
exactly against the cache aliasing problem with regular refcounting.

# 293633 10-Jan-2016 melifaro

Split in6_selectsrc() into in6_selectsrc_addr() and in6_selectsrc_socket().

in6_selectsrc() has 2 class of users: socket-based one (raw/udp/pcb/etc) and
socket-less (ND code). The main reason for that change is inability to
specify non-default FIB for callers w/o socket since (internally) inpcb
is used to determine fib.

As as result, add 2 wrappers for in6_selectsrc() (making in6_selectsrc()
static):
1) in6_selectsrc_socket() for the former class. Embed scope_ambiguous check
along with returning hop limit when needed.
2) in6_selectsrc_addr() for the latter case. Add 'fibnum' argument and
pass IPv6 address w/ explicitly specified scope as separate argument.

# 293101 03-Jan-2016 melifaro

Remove 'struct route_int6' argument from in6_selectsrc() and
in6_selectif().

The main task of in6_selectsrc() is to return IPv6 SAS (along with
output interface used for scope checks). No data-path code uses
route argument for caching. The only users are icmp6 (reflect code),
ND6 ns/na generation code. All this fucntions are control-plane, so
there is no reason to try to 'optimize' something by passing cached
route into to ip6_output(). Given that, simplify code by eliminating
in6_selectsrc() 'struct route_in6' argument. Since in6_selectif() is
used only by in6_selectsrc(), eliminate its 'struct route_in6' argument,
too. While here, reshape rte-related code inside in6_selectif() to
free lookup result immediately after saving all the needed fields.


# 290471 06-Nov-2015 adrian

[netinet6]: Create a new IPv6 netisr which expects the frames to have been verified.

This is required for fragments and encapsulated data (eg tunneling) to be redistributed
to the RSS bucket based on the eventual IPv6 header and protocol (TCP, UDP, etc) header.

* Add an mbuf tag with the state of IPv6 options parsing before the frame is queued
into the direct dispatch handler;
* Continue processing and complete the frame reception in the correct RSS bucket /
netisr context.

Testing results are in the phabricator review.

# 287278 29-Aug-2015 adrian

Implement RSS hashing/re-hashing for IPv6 ingress packets.

This mirrors the basic IPv4 implementation - IPv6 packets under RSS
now are checked for a correct RSS hash and if one isn't provided,
it's done in software.

This only handles the initial receive - it doesn't yet handle
reinjecting / rehashing packets after being decapsulated from
various tunneling setups. That'll come in some follow-up work.

For non-RSS users, this is almost a giant no-op.

It does change a couple of ipv6 methods to use const mbuf * instead of
mbuf * but it doesn't have any functional changes.

So, the following now occurs:

* If the NIC doesn't do any RSS hashing, it's all done in software.
Single-queue, non-RSS NICs will now have the RX path distributed
into multiple receive netisr queues.

* If the NIC provides the wrong hash (eg only IPv6 hash when we needed
an IPv6 TCP hash, or IPv6 UDP hash when we expected IPv6 hash)
then the hash is recalculated.

* .. if the hash is recalculated, it'll end up being injected into
the correct netisr queue for v6 processing.

# 279588 04-Mar-2015 ae

Fix deadlock in IPv6 PCB code.

When several threads are trying to send datagram to the same destination,
but fragmentation is disabled and datagram size exceeds link MTU,
ip6_output() calls pfctlinput2(PRC_MSGSIZE). It does notify all
sockets wanted to know MTU to this destination. And since all threads
hold PCB lock while sending, taking the lock for each PCB in the
in6_pcbnotify() leads to deadlock.

RFC 3542 p.11.3 suggests notify all application wanted to receive
IPV6_PATHMTU ancillary data for each ICMPv6 packet too big message.
But it doesn't require this, when we don't receive ICMPv6 message.

Change ip6_notify_pmtu() function to be able use it directly from
ip6_output() to notify only one socket, and to notify all sockets
when ICMPv6 packet too big message received.

# 225521 13-Sep-2011 hrs

Add $ipv6_cpe_wanif to enable functionality required for IPv6 CPE
(r225485). When setting an interface name to it, the following
configurations will be enabled:

1. "no_radr" is set to all IPv6 interfaces automatically.

2. "-no_radr accept_rtadv" will be set only for $ipv6_cpe_wanif. This is
done just before evaluating $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 in the rc.d scripts (this
means you can manually supersede this configuration if necessary).

3. The node will add RA-sending routers to the default router list
even if net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1.

This mode is added to conform to RFC 6204 (a router which connects
the end-user network to a service provider network). To enable
packet forwarding, you still need to set ipv6_gateway_enable=YES.

Note that accepting router entries into the default router list when
packet forwarding capability and a routing daemon are enabled can
result in messing up the routing table. To minimize such unexpected
behaviors, "no_radr" is set on all interfaces but $ipv6_cpe_wanif.

# 222728 06-Jun-2011 hrs

- Accept Router Advertisement messages even when net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1.

- A new per-interface knob IFF_ND6_NO_RADR and sysctl IPV6CTL_NO_RADR.
This controls if accepting a route in an RA message as the default route.
The default value for each interface can be set by net.inet6.ip6.no_radr.
The system wide default value is 0.

- A new sysctl: net.inet6.ip6.norbit_raif. This controls if setting R-bit in
NA on RA accepting interfaces. The default is 0 (R-bit is set based on
net.inet6.ip6.forwarding).

Background:

IPv6 host/router model suggests a router sends an RA and a host accepts it for
router discovery. Because of that, KAME implementation does not allow
accepting RAs when net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1. Accepting RAs on a router can
make the routing table confused since it can change the default router
unintentionally.

However, in practice there are cases where we cannot distinguish a host from
a router clearly. For example, a customer edge router often works as a host
against the ISP, and as a router against the LAN at the same time. Another
example is a complex network configurations like an L2TP tunnel for IPv6
connection to Internet over an Ethernet link with another native IPv6 subnet.
In this case, the physical interface for the native IPv6 subnet works as a
host, and the pseudo-interface for L2TP works as the default IP forwarding
route.

Problem:

Disabling processing RA messages when net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1 and
accepting them when net.inet6.ip6.forward=0 cause the following practical
issues:

- A router cannot perform SLAAC. It becomes a problem if a box has
multiple interfaces and you want to use SLAAC on some of them, for
example. A customer edge router for IPv6 Internet access service
using an IPv6-over-IPv6 tunnel sometimes needs SLAAC on the
physical interface for administration purpose; updating firmware
and so on (link-local addresses can be used there, but GUAs by
SLAAC are often used for scalability).

- When a host has multiple IPv6 interfaces and it receives multiple RAs on
them, controlling the default route is difficult. Router preferences
defined in RFC 4191 works only when the routers on the links are
under your control.

Details of Implementation Changes:

Router Advertisement messages will be accepted even when
net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1. More precisely, the conditions are as
follow:

(ACCEPT_RTADV && !NO_RADR && !ip6.forwarding)
=> Normal RA processing on that interface. (as IPv6 host)

(ACCEPT_RTADV && (NO_RADR || ip6.forwarding))
=> Accept RA but add the router to the defroute list with
rtlifetime=0 unconditionally. This effectively prevents
from setting the received router address as the box's
default route.

(!ACCEPT_RTADV)
=> No RA processing on that interface.

ACCEPT_RTADV and NO_RADR are per-interface knob. In short, all interface
are classified as "RA-accepting" or not. An RA-accepting interface always
processes RA messages regardless of ip6.forwarding. The difference caused by
NO_RADR or ip6.forwarding is whether the RA source address is considered as
the default router or not.

R-bit in NA on the RA accepting interfaces is set based on
net.inet6.ip6.forwarding. While RFC 6204 W-1 rule (for CPE case) suggests
a router should disable the R-bit completely even when the box has
net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1, I believe there is no technical reason with
doing so. This behavior can be set by a new sysctl net.inet6.ip6.norbit_raif
(the default is 0).

Usage:

# ifconfig fxp0 inet6 accept_rtadv
=> accept RA on fxp0
# ifconfig fxp0 inet6 accept_rtadv no_radr
=> accept RA on fxp0 but ignore default route information in it.
# sysctl net.inet6.ip6.norbit_no_radr=1
=> R-bit in NAs on RA accepting interfaces will always be set to 0.

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

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,
destructor functions should be in general compiled in only in
options VIMAGE builds, except for kernel modules which can be safely

This main goals of this project are:
1. separating L2 tables (ARP, NDP) from the L3 routing tables
2. removing as much locking dependencies among these layers as
possible to allow for some parallelism in the search operations
3. simplify the logic in the routing code,

The most notable end result is the obsolescent of the route
cloning (RTF_CLONING) concept, which translated into code reduction
in both IPv4 ARP and IPv6 NDP related modules, and size reduction in
struct rtentry{}. The change in design obsoletes the semantics of
RTF_CLONING, RTF_WASCLONE and RTF_LLINFO routing flags. The userland
applications such as "arp" and "ndp" have been modified to reflect
those changes. The output from "netstat -r" shows only the routing
entries.

Quite a few developers have contributed to this project in the
past: Glebius Smirnoff, Luigi Rizzo, Alessandro Cerri, and
Andre Oppermann. And most recently:

- Kip Macy revised the locking code completely, thus completing
the last piece of the puzzle, Kip has also been conducting
active functional testing
- Sam Leffler has helped me improving/refactoring the code, and
provided valuable reviews
- Julian Elischer setup the perforce tree for me and has helped
me maintaining that branch before the svn conversion

Put the extern declarations of the virtualized globals

Fix a regression introduced in r179289 splitting up ip6_savecontrol()
into v4-only vs. v6-only inp_flags processing.
When ip6_savecontrol_v4() is called from ip6_savecontrol() we
were not passing back the **mp thus the information will be missing
in userland.
Istead of going with a *** as suggested in the PR we are returning
**mp now and passing in the v4only flag as a pointer argument.

scope cleanup. with this change
- most of the kernel code will not care about the actual encoding of
scope zone IDs and won't touch "s6_addr16[1]" directly.
- similarly, most of the kernel code will not care about link-local
scoped addresses as a special case.
- scope boundary check will be stricter. For example, the current
*BSD code allows a packet with src=::1 and dst=(some global IPv6
address) to be sent outside of the node, if the application do:
s = socket(AF_INET6);
bind(s, "::1");
sendto(s, some_global_IPv6_addr);
This is clearly wrong, since ::1 is only meaningful within a single
node, but the current implementation of the *BSD kernel cannot
reject this attempt.

Check the alignment of the IP header before passing the packet up to the
packet filter. This would cause a panic on architectures that require strict
alignment such as sparc64 (tier1) and ia64/ppc (tier2).

This adds two new macros that check the alignment, these are compile time
dependent on __NO_STRICT_ALIGNMENT which is set for i386 and amd64 where
alignment isn't need so the cost is avoided.

IP_HDR_ALIGNED_P()
IP6_HDR_ALIGNED_P()

Move bridge_ip_checkbasic()/bridge_ip6_checkbasic() up so that the alignment
is checked for ipfw and dummynet too.

Always compile PFIL_HOOKS into the kernel and remove the associated kernel
compile option. All FreeBSD packet filters now use the PFIL_HOOKS API and
thus it becomes a standard part of the network stack.

If no hooks are connected the entire packet filter hooks section and related
activities are jumped over. This removes any performance impact if no hooks
are active.

Both OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD have integrated PFIL_HOOKS permanently as well.


# 133720 14-Aug-2004 dwmalone

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).
