action argument with the value obtained from table lookup. The feature
is now applicable only to "pipe", "queue", "divert", "tee", "netgraph"
and "ngtee" rules.
An example usage:
ipfw pipe 1000 config bw 1000Kbyte/s
ipfw pipe 4000 config bw 4000Kbyte/s
ipfw table 1 add x.x.x.x 1000
ipfw table 1 add x.x.x.y 4000
ipfw pipe tablearg ip from table(1) to any
In the example above the rule will throw different packets to different pipes.
TODO:
- Support "skipto" action, but without searching all rules.
- Improve parser, so that it warns about bad rules. These are:
- "tablearg" argument to action, but no "table" in the rule. All
traffic will be blocked.
- "tablearg" argument to action, but "table" searches for entry with
a specific value. All traffic will be blocked.
- "tablearg" argument to action, and two "table" looks - for src and
for dst. The last lookup will match.
IPv6 support was committed:
- Stop treating `ip' and `ipv6' as special in `proto' option as they
conflict with /etc/protocols.
- Disuse `ipv4' in `proto' option as it is corresponding to `ipv6'.
- When protocol is specified as numeric, treat it as it is even it is
41 (ipv6).
- Allow zero for protocol as it is valid number of `ip'.
Still, we cannot specify an IPv6 over an IPv4 tunnel like before such
as:
pass ipv6 from any to any
But, now, you can specify it like:
pass ip4 from any to any proto ipv6

This option has to be specified in addition to IPFIRWALL_FORWARD.
With this option even packets targeted for an IP address local
to the host can be redirected. All restrictions to ensure proper
behaviour for locally generated packets are turned off. Firewall

PMTU discovery do not break.

This commit replaces those with two new functions that simplify the code
and produce warnings that the syntax is deprecated. A small number of
sensible abbreviations may be explicitly added based on user feedback.
There were previously three types of strncmp use in ipfw:
- Most commonly, strncmp(av, "string", sizeof(av)) was used to allow av
to match string or any shortened form of it. I have replaced this
with a new function _substrcmp(av, "string") which returns 0 if av
is a substring of "string", but emits a warning if av is not exactly
"string".
- The next type was two instances of strncmp(av, "by", 2) which allowed
the abbreviation of bytes to "by", "byt", etc. Unfortunately, it
also supported "bykHUygh&*g&*7*ui". I added a second new function
_substrcmp2(av, "by", "bytes") which acts like the strncmp did, but
complains if the user doesn't spell out the word "bytes".
- There is also one correct use of strncmp to match "table(" which might
have another token after it without a space.
Since I changed all the lines anyway, I also fixed the treatment of
strncmp's return as a boolean in many cases. I also modified a few
strcmp cases as well to be fully consistent.
reversals+system lock ups if they are using ucred based rules
while running with debug.mpsafenet=1.
I am working on merging a shared locking mechanism into ipfw which
should take care of this problem, but it still requires a bit more
testing and review.
