Currently, 'ifconfig laggX down' does not remove members from this
lagg(4) interface. So, 'service netif stop laggX' followed by
'service netif start laggX' will choke, because "stop" will leave
interfaces attached to the laggX and ifconfig from the "start" will
refuse to add already-existing interfaces.
The real-world case is when I am bundling together my Ethernet and
WiFi interfaces and using multiple profiles for accessing network in
different places: system being booted up with one profile, but later
this profile being exchanged to another one, followed by 'service
netif restart' will not add WiFi interface back to the lagg: the
"stop" action from 'service netif restart' will shut down my main WiFi
interface, so wlan0 that exists in the lagg0 will be destroyed and
purged from lagg0; the "start" action will try to re-add both
interfaces, but since Ethernet one is already in lagg0, ifconfig will
refuse to add the wlan0 from WiFi interface.
Since adding the interface to the lagg(4) when it is already here
should be an idempotent action: we're really not changing anything,
so this fix doesn't change the semantics of interface addition.

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.

Linux and Solaris (at least OpenSolaris) has PF_PACKET socket families to send
raw ethernet frames. The only FreeBSD interface that can be used to send raw frames
is BPF. As a result, many programs like cdpd, lldpd, various dhcp stuff uses
BPF only to send data. This leads us to the situation when software like cdpd,
being run on high-traffic-volume interface significantly reduces overall performance
since we have to acquire additional locks for every packet.
Here we add sysctl that changes BPF behavior in the following way:
If program came and opens BPF socket without explicitly specifyin read filter we
assume it to be write-only and add it to special writer-only per-interface list.
This makes bpf_peers_present() return 0, so no additional overhead is introduced.
After filter is supplied, descriptor is added to original per-interface list permitting
packets to be captured.
Unfortunately, pcap_open_live() sets catch-all filter itself for the purpose of
setting snap length.
Fortunately, most programs explicitly sets (event catch-all) filter after that.
tcpdump(1) is a good example.
So a bit hackis approach is taken: we upgrade description only after second
BIOCSETF is received.
Sysctl is named net.bpf.optimize_writers and is turned off by default.

aspect of time stamp configuration per interface rather than per BPF
descriptor. Prior to this, the order in which BPF devices were opened and the
per descriptor time stamp configuration settings could cause non-deterministic
and unintended behaviour with respect to time stamping. With the new scheme, a
BPF attached interface's tscfg sysctl entry can be set to "default", "none",
"fast", "normal" or "external". Setting "default" means use the system default
option (set with the net.bpf.tscfg.default sysctl), "none" means do not
generate time stamps for tapped packets, "fast" means generate time stamps for
tapped packets using a hz granularity system clock read, "normal" means
generate time stamps for tapped packets using a full timecounter granularity
system clock read and "external" (currently unimplemented) means use the time
stamp provided with the packet from an underlying source.
- Utilise the recently introduced sysclock_getsnapshot() and
sysclock_snap2bintime() KPIs to ensure the system clock is only read once per
packet, regardless of the number of BPF descriptors and time stamp formats
requested. Use the per BPF attached interface time stamp configuration to
control if sysclock_getsnapshot() is called and whether the system clock read
is fast or normal. The per BPF descriptor time stamp configuration is then
used to control how the system clock snapshot is converted to a bintime by
sysclock_snap2bintime().
- Remove all FAST related BPF descriptor flag variants. Performing a "fast"
read of the system clock is now controlled per BPF attached interface using
the net.bpf.tscfg sysctl tree.

However, reimplement the feature in more elegant manner, that is
partially inspired by newer OpenBSD:
- Rename term "suppression" to "demotion", to match with OpenBSD.
- Keep a global demotion factor, that can be raised by several
conditions, for now these are:
- interface goes down
- carp(4) has problems with ip_output() or ip6_output()
- pfsync performs bulk update
- Unlike in OpenBSD the demotion factor isn't a counter, but
is actual value added to advskew. The adjustment values for
particular error conditions are also configurable, and their
defaults are maximum advskew value, so a single failure bumps
demotion to maximum. This is for POLA compatibility, and should
satisfy most users.
- Demotion factor is a writable sysctl, so user can do
foot shooting, if he desires to.
from scratch, copying needed functionality from the old implemenation
on demand, with a thorough review of all code. The main change is that
interface layer has been removed from the CARP. Now redundant addresses
are configured exactly on the interfaces, they run on.
The CARP configuration itself is, as before, configured and read via
SIOCSVH/SIOCGVH ioctls. A new prefix created with SIOCAIFADDR or
SIOCAIFADDR_IN6 may now be configured to a particular virtual host id,
which makes the prefix redundant.
ifconfig(8) semantics has been changed too: now one doesn't need
to clone carpXX interface, he/she should directly configure a vhid
on a Ethernet interface.
To supply vhid data from the kernel to an application the getifaddrs(8)
function had been changed to pass ifam_data with each address. [1]
The new implementation definitely closes all PRs related to carp(4)
being an interface, and may close several others. It also allows
to run a single redundant IP per interface.
Big thanks to Bjoern Zeeb for his help with inet6 part of patch, for

If a selinfo object is recorded (via selrecord()) and then it is
quickly destroyed, with the waiters missing the opportunity to awake,
at the next iteration they will find the selinfo object destroyed,
causing a PF#.
That happens because the selinfo interface has no way to drain the
waiters before to destroy the registered selinfo object. Also this
race is quite rare to get in practice, because it would require a
selrecord(), a poll request by another thread and a quick destruction
of the selrecord()'ed selinfo object.
Fix this by adding the seldrain() routine which should be called
before to destroy the selinfo objects (in order to avoid such case),
and fix the present cases where it might have already been called.
Sometimes, the context is safe enough to prevent this type of race,
like it happens in device drivers which installs selinfo objects on
poll callbacks. There, the destruction of the selinfo object happens
at driver detach time, when all the filedescriptors should be already
closed, thus there cannot be a race.
For this case, mfi(4) device driver can be set as an example, as it
implements a full correct logic for preventing this from happening.

On MP systems this is not a usable solution anymore and could easily
lead to false positives triggering enough logging that even using
the console was no longer usable (multiple parallel ping -f can do).
Switch to the suggested solution of using mbuf tags to carry per
packet state between gre_output() invocations. Contrary to the
proposed solution modelled after gif(4) only allocate one mbuf tag
per packet rather than per packet and per gre_output() pass through.
As the sysctl to control the possible valid (gre in gre) nestings does
no sanity checks, make sure to always allocate space in the mbuf tag
for at least one, and at most 255 possible gre interfaces to detect
loops in addition to the counter.

default dispatch method to NETISR_DISPATCH_DIRECT in order to force
direct dispatch. This adds a fairly negligble overhead without
changing default behavior, but in the future will allow deferred or
hybrid dispatch to other worker threads before link layer processing
has taken place.
For example, this could allow redistribution using RSS hashes
without ethernet header cache line hits, if the NIC was unable to
adequately implement load balancing to too small a number of input
queues -- perhaps due to hard queueset counts of 1, 3, or 8, but in
a modern system with 16-128 threads. This can happen on highly
threaded systems, where you want want an ithread per core,
redistributing work to other queues, but also on virtualised systems
where hardware hashing is (or is not) available, but only a single
queue has been directed to one VCPU on a VM.
Note: this adds a previously non-present assertion about the
equivalence of the ifnet from which the packet is received, and the
ifnet stamped in the mbuf header. I believe this assertion to
generally be true, but we'll find out soon -- if it's not, we might
have to add additional overhead in some cases to add an m_tag with
the originating ifnet pointer stored in it.

particular, that thread 0 on each core be brought up first). The SLIST
through which we loop to start the CPUs has all of its entries added with
SLIST_INSERT_HEAD(), which means it is in reverse order of enumeration
and so AP startup would always fail in such situations (causing a machine
check or RTAS failure). Fix this by changing the SLIST into an STAILQ,
and inserting new CPUs at the end.

be represented:
- A single policy namespace is defined, consisting of four possible
policies: "default" to use the global default, "deferred" to force
deferred dispatch, "direct" to employ direct dispatch where possible, and
"hybrid" which makes a dynamic decision based on CPU affinity, ordering,
etc. Routines are implemented to convert between strings and an integer
namespace.
- A new global variable, netisr_dispatch_policy, subsumes existing global
variables for direct dispatch, forced direct dispatch, etc, and is used
for explicit policy interpretation and composition. Old variables remain
so that they can be exported by legacy sysctls for use by old netstat(1)
binaries. A new sysctl and tunable, netisr.dispatch.policy, accepts the
above strings for specifying a global policy default.
- The protocol registration structure, netisr_handler, grows an nh_dispatch
field, which accepts a per-policy policy override. The default value is
'0', which corresponds to "default", meaning that protocols will accept
the global default policy unless otherwise specified.
- Policies are now interpreted and composed explicitly at various points in
packet dispatch; protocol policies override global policies.
- Protocols grow the ability to express a non-opinion about affinity even
when implenting m2cpuid by returning NETISR_CPUID_NONE. In that case, the
framework falls back on source ordering, rather than simply using the
current CPU.
These changes are in support of allowing link layer re-dispatch based on
RSS or similar hashes provided by NICs, especially in the case where the
number of hardware receive queues matches hardware core count, rather than
hardware thread count, requiring further software redistributeon. (i.e.,
on RMI XLR).

While this reduces the number of vnet recursion in some places like
NFS, POSIX local sockets and some netgraph, .. recursions are
impossible to fix.
