Ipfw processing of frames at layer 2 can be enabled by the sysctl variable
net.link.ether.ipfw=1
Consider this feature experimental, because right now, the firewall
is invoked in the places indicated below, and controlled by the
sysctl variables listed on the right. As a consequence, a packet
can be filtered from 1 to 4 times depending on the path it follows,
which might make a ruleset a bit hard to follow.
I will add an ipfw option to tell if we want a given rule to apply
to ether_demux() and ether_output_frame(), but we have run out of
flags in the struct ip_fw so i need to think a bit on how to implement
this.

field. This returns the sdl_data field to a variable-length field. More
importantly, this prevents a easily-reproduceable data-corruption bug when
the interface name plus the hardware address exceed the sdl_data field's
original 12 byte limit. However, token-ring interfaces may still overflow
the new sdl_data field's 46 byte limit if the interface name exceeds 6
characters (since 6 characters for interface name plus 6 for hardware
address plus 34 for source routing = the size of sdl_data). Further
refinements could overcome this limitation but would break binary
compatibility; this commit only addresses fixing the bug for
commonly-occuring cases without breaking binary compatibility with the
intention that the functionality can be MFC'ed to -stable.

ibss is the modern ad-hoc mode. ibss-master is the same, except that
it creates the ibss network. This distinction is necessary because
some supported cards (symbol) support the former without supporting
the latter.
A seprate commit will introduce a demo-adhoc mode so that we can
disentwingle the multiple, mutually exclusive meandings of adhoc in
the present state of affairs.

be done internally.
Ensure that no one can fsetown() to a dying process/pgrp. We need
to check the process for P_WEXIT to see if it's exiting. Process
groups are already safe because there is no such thing as a pgrp
zombie, therefore the proctree lock completely protects the pgrp
from having sigio structures associated with it after it runs
funsetownlst.
Add sigio lock to witness list under proctree and allproc, but over
proc and pgrp.
Seigo Tanimura helped with this.
Turn the sigio sx into a mutex.
Sigio lock is really only needed to protect interrupts from dereferencing
the sigio pointer in an object when the sigio itself is being destroyed.
In order to do this in the most unintrusive manner change pgsigio's
sigio * argument into a **, that way we can lock internally to the
function.

Since locking sigio_lock is usually followed by calling pgsigio(),
move the declaration of sigio_lock and the definitions of SIGIO_*() to

While I am here, sort include files alphabetically, where possible.

process in pgsigio().
sowakeup() and the callers of it (sowwakeup, soisconnected, etc.) now
require sigio_lock to be locked. Provide sowwakeup_locked(),
soisconnected_locked(), and so on in case where we have to modify a

general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

- Make sure the interface is UP and RUNNING in fddi_input().
- Reorder and comment packet tests in fddi_input().
- Call if_attach() in fddi_ifattach().
- Test for a valid return from ifaddr_byindex().
- Use struct fddi_header where appropriate.
- Use bcopy() rather than memcpy().
- Use FDDI_ADDR_LEN macro instead of ETHER_ADDR_LEN macro.
- Add loadable module support.
- Use FDDI_ADDR_LEN rather than a magic number or a sizeof().
- Hide distracting sizeof() behind FDDI_HDR_LEN macro.
- Don't use sizeof(struct llc) in areas where we mean LLC_SNAPFRAMELEN.

Ian Dowse came up with the same patch independantly 68 seconds before I

to close in on the commit that caused his crashes.

To enable. Just like ipfw(8) bridging, only input packets are filtered
in the bridge. Filtering works just like in the IP layer, ipf(8)
first, then ipfw(8). And just like in the IP layer, both are
independent, one need not be run to use the other. (Note: This will
not work in, but doesn't break, the bridge.ko module. The ipl.ko
module would need to be fixed before that is worth worrying about.)
