When epoch(9) was introduced to network stack, it was basically
dropped in place of existing locking, which was mutexes and
rwlocks. For the sake of performance mutex covered areas were
as small as possible, so became epoch covered areas.
However, epoch doesn't introduce any contention, it just delays
memory reclaim. So, there is no point to minimise epoch covered
areas in sense of performance. Meanwhile entering/exiting epoch
also has non-zero CPU usage, so doing this less often is a win.
Not the least is also code maintainability. In the new paradigm
we can assume that at any stage of processing a packet, we are
inside network epoch. This makes coding both input and output
path way easier.
On output path we already enter epoch quite early - in the
ip_output(), in the ip6_output().
This patch does the same for the input path. All ISR processing,
network related callouts, other ways of packet injection to the
network stack shall be performed in net_epoch. Any leaf function
that walks network configuration now asserts epoch.
Tricky part is configuration code paths - ioctls, sysctls. They
also call into leaf functions, so some need to be changed.
This patch would introduce more epoch recursions (see EPOCH_TRACE)
than we had before. They will be cleaned up separately, as several
of them aren't trivial. Note, that unlike a lock recursion the
epoch recursion is safe and just wastes a bit of resources.

- Remove macros that covertly create epoch_tracker on thread stack. Such
macros a quite unsafe, e.g. will produce a buggy code if same macro is

- Unmask interface list IFNET_RLOCK_NOSLEEP(), interface address list

Keeping them as is is very misleading. They all are named FOO_RLOCK(),
while they no longer have lock semantics. Now they allow recursion and
what's more important they now no longer guarantee protection against
their companion WLOCK macros.

It is not enough to set ifnet->if_mtu to change the interface MTU.
System saves the MTU for route in the radix tree, and route cache keeps
the interface MTU as well. Since addition of the multicast group causes
recalculation of MTU, even bringing the interface up changes MTU from
4042 to 1500, which makes the system configuration inconsistent. Worse,
ip_output() prefers route MTU over interface MTU, so large packets are
not fragmented and dropped on floor.
Fix it for ipoib(4) using the same approach (or hack) as was applied
for it_tun/if_tap in r339012. Thanks to bz@ for giving the hint.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
Set the IPOIB_FLAG_INITIALIZED on dev_open and clear it on dev_stop to

The device module must dispatch the IB_EVENT_PORT_ACTIVE event before ipoib

The only piece of information that is required is rt_flags subset.
In particular, if_loop() requires RTF_REJECT and RTF_BLACKHOLE flags
to check if this particular mbuf needs to be dropped (and what
error should be returned).
Note that if_loop() will always return EHOSTUNREACH for "reject" routes
regardless of RTF_HOST flag existence. This is due to upcoming routing
changes where RTF_HOST value won't be available as lookup result.
All other functions require RTF_GATEWAY flag to check if they need
to return EHOSTUNREACH instead of EHOSTDOWN error.
There are 11 places where non-zero 'struct route' is passed to if_output().
For most of the callers (forwarding, bpf, arp) does not care about exact
error value. In fact, the only place where this result is propagated
is ip_output(). (ip6_output() passes NULL route to nd6_output_ifp()).
Given that, add 3 new 'struct route' flags (RT_REJECT, RT_BLACKHOLE and
RT_IS_GW) and inline function (rt_update_ro_flags()) to copy necessary
rte flags to ro_flags. Call this function in ip_output() after looking up/
verifying rte.

Add if_requestencap() interface method which is capable of calculating
various link headers for given interface. Right now there is support
for INET/INET6/ARP llheader calculation (IFENCAP_LL type request).
Other types are planned to support more complex calculation
(L2 multipath lagg nexthops, tunnel encap nexthops, etc..).
Reshape 'struct route' to be able to pass additional data (with is length)
to prepend to mbuf.
These two changes permits routing code to pass pre-calculated nexthop data
(like L2 header for route w/gateway) down to the stack eliminating the
need for other lookups. It also brings us closer to more complex scenarios
like transparently handling MPLS nexthops and tunnel interfaces.
Last, but not least, it removes layering violation introduced by flowtable
code (ro_lle) and simplifies handling of existing if_output consumers.
ARP/ND changes:
Make arp/ndp stack pre-calculate link header upon installing/updating lle
record. Interface link address change are handled by re-calculating
headers for all lles based on if_lladdr event. After these changes,
arpresolve()/nd6_resolve() returns full pre-calculated header for
supported interfaces thus simplifying if_output().
Move these lookups to separate ether_resolve_addr() function which ether
returs error or fully-prepared link header. Add <arp|nd6_>resolve_addr()
compat versions to return link addresses instead of pre-calculated data.
BPF changes:
Raw bpf writes occupied _two_ cases: AF_UNSPEC and pseudo_AF_HDRCMPLT.
Despite the naming, both of there have ther header "complete". The only
difference is that interface source mac has to be filled by OS for
AF_UNSPEC (controlled via BIOCGHDRCMPLT). This logic has to stay inside
BPF and not pollute if_output() routines. Convert BPF to pass prepend data
via new 'struct route' mechanism. Note that it does not change
non-optimized if_output(): ro_prepend handling is purely optional.
Side note: hackish pseudo_AF_HDRCMPLT is supported for ethernet and FDDI.
It is not needed for ethernet anymore. The only remaining FDDI user is
dev/pdq mostly untouched since 2007. FDDI support was eliminated from
OpenBSD in 2013 (sys/net/if_fddisubr.c rev 1.65).
Flowtable changes:
Flowtable violates layering by saving (and not correctly managing)
rtes/lles. Instead of passing lle pointer, pass pointer to pre-calculated
header data from that lle.

Problem description:
How do we currently perform layer 2 resolution and header imposition:
For IPv4 we have the following chain:
ip_output() -> (ether|atm|whatever)_output() -> arpresolve()
Lookup is done in proper place (link-layer output routine) and it is possible
to provide cached lle data.
For IPv6 situation is more complex:
ip6_output() -> nd6_output() -> nd6_output_ifp() -> (whatever)_output() ->
nd6_storelladdr()
We have ip6_ouput() which calls nd6_output() instead of link output routine.
nd6_output() does the following:
* checks if lle exists, creates it if needed (similar to arpresolve())
* performes lle state transitions (similar to arpresolve())
* calls nd6_output_ifp() which pushes packets to link output routine along
with running SeND/MAC hooks regardless of lle state
(e.g. works as run-hooks placeholder).
After that, iface output routine like ether_output() calls nd6_storelladdr()
which performs lle lookup once again.
As a result, we perform lookup twice for each outgoing packet for most types
of interfaces. We also need to maintain runtime-checked table of 'nd6-free'
interfaces (see nd6_need_cache()).
Fix this behavior by eliminating first ND lookup. To be more specific:
* make all nd6_output() consumers use nd6_output_ifp() instead
* rename nd6_output[_slow]() to nd6_resolve_[slow]()
* convert nd6_resolve() and nd6_resolve_slow() to arpresolve() semantics,
e.g. copy L2 address to buffer instead of pushing packet towards lower
layers
* Make all nd6_storelladdr() users use nd6_resolve()
* eliminate nd6_storelladdr()
The resulting callchain is the following:
ip6_output() -> nd6_output_ifp() -> (whatever)_output() -> nd6_resolve()
Error handling:
Currently sending packet to non-existing la results in ip6_<output|forward>
-> nd6_output() -> nd6_output _lle() which returns 0.
In new scenario packet is propagated to <ether|whatever>_output() ->
nd6_resolve() which will return EWOULDBLOCK, and that result
will be converted to 0.
(And EWOULDBLOCK is actually used by IB/TOE code).

o Remove the if_baudrate_pf crutch.
o Make all fields of struct if_data fixed machine independent size. The
notion of data (packet counters, etc) are by no means MD. And it is a
bug that on amd64 we've got a 64-bit counters, while on i386 32-bit,
which at modern speeds overflow within a second.
This also removes quite a lot of COMPAT_FREEBSD32 code.
o Give 16 bit for the ifi_datalen field. This field was provided to
make future changes to if_data less ABI breaking. Unfortunately the
8 bit size of it had effectively limited sizeof if_data to 256 bytes.
o Give 32 bits to ifi_mtu and ifi_metric.
