to sleep on commands to the NIC when updating multicast filters. More generally this permitted
driver's to use an sx as a softc lock. Unfortunately this change introduced a race whereby a
a multicast update would still be queued for deletion when ifconfig deleted the interface
thus calling down in to _purgemaddrs and synchronously deleting _all_ of the multicast addresses
on the interface.
Synchronously remove all external references to a multicast address before enqueueing for delete.

This is a component of a system which lets the kernel dump core to
a remote host after a panic, rather than to a local storage device.
The server component is available in the ports tree. netdump is
particularly useful on diskless systems.
The netdump(4) man page contains some details describing the protocol.
Support for configuring netdump will be added to dumpon(8) in a future
commit. To use netdump, the kernel must have been compiled with the
NETDUMP option.
The initial revision of netdump was written by Darrell Anderson and
was integrated into Sandvine's OS, from which this version was derived.

According to 802.1Q-2014, VLAN tagged packets with VLAN id 0 should be

The MAC address reported by `ifconfig ${nic} ether' does not always match
the address in the hardware, as reported by the driver during attach. In
particular, NICs which are components of a lagg(4) interface all report the

When attaching, the NIC driver passes the MAC address it read from the
hardware as an argument to ether_ifattach(). Keep a second copy of it, and
create ioctl(SIOCGHWADDR) to return it. Teach `ifconfig' to report it along

- Add RATELIMIT kernel configuration keyword which must be set to
enable the new functionality.
- Add support for hardware driven, Receive Side Scaling, RSS aware, rate
limited sendqueues and expose the functionality through the already
established SO_MAX_PACING_RATE setsockopt(). The API support rates in
the range from 1 to 4Gbytes/s which are suitable for regular TCP and
UDP streams. The setsockopt(2) manual page has been updated.
- Add rate limit function callback API to "struct ifnet" which supports
the following operations: if_snd_tag_alloc(), if_snd_tag_modify(),
if_snd_tag_query() and if_snd_tag_free().
- Add support to ifconfig to view, set and clear the IFCAP_TXRTLMT
flag, which tells if a network driver supports rate limiting or not.
- This patch also adds support for rate limiting through VLAN and LAGG
intermediate network devices.
- How rate limiting works:
1) The userspace application calls setsockopt() after accepting or
making a new connection to set the rate which is then stored in the
socket structure in the kernel. Later on when packets are transmitted
a check is made in the transmit path for rate changes. A rate change
implies a non-blocking ifp->if_snd_tag_alloc() call will be made to the
destination network interface, which then sets up a custom sendqueue
with the given rate limitation parameter. A "struct m_snd_tag" pointer is
returned which serves as a "snd_tag" hint in the m_pkthdr for the
subsequently transmitted mbufs.
2) When the network driver sees the "m->m_pkthdr.snd_tag" different
from NULL, it will move the packets into a designated rate limited sendqueue
given by the snd_tag pointer. It is up to the individual drivers how the rate
limited traffic will be rate limited.
3) Route changes are detected by the NIC drivers in the ifp->if_transmit()
routine when the ifnet pointer in the incoming snd_tag mismatches the
one of the network interface. The network adapter frees the mbuf and
returns EAGAIN which causes the ip_output() to release and clear the send
tag. Upon next ip_output() a new "snd_tag" will be tried allocated.
4) When the PCB is detached the custom sendqueue will be released by a
non-blocking ifp->if_snd_tag_free() call to the currently bound network
interface.

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.

When using lagg failover mode neither Gratuitous ARP (IPv4) or Unsolicited
Neighbour Advertisements (IPv6) are sent to notify other nodes that the
address may have moved.
This results is slow failover, dropped packets and network outages for the
lagg interface when the primary link goes down.
We now use the new if_link_state_change_cond with the force param set to
allow lagg to force through link state changes and hence fire a
ifnet_link_event which are now monitored by rip and nd6.
Upon receiving these events each protocol trigger the relevant
notifications:
* inet4 => Gratuitous ARP
* inet6 => Unsolicited Neighbour Announce

* Make ifa_*_loopback_route call single ifa_maintain_loopback_route().
To make driver programming easier the TSO limits are changed to
reflect the values used in the BUSDMA tag a network adapter driver is
using. The TCP/IP network stack will subtract space for all linklevel
and protocol level headers and ensure that the full mbuf chain passed
to the network adapter fits within the given limits.
Implementation notes:
If a network adapter driver needs to fixup the first mbuf in order to
support VLAN tag insertion, the size of the VLAN tag should be
subtracted from the TSO limit. Else not.
Network adapters which typically inline the complete header mbuf could
technically transmit one more segment. This patch does not implement a
mechanism to recover the last segment for data transmission. It is
believed when sufficiently large mbuf clusters are used, the segment
limit will not be reached and recovering the last segment will not
have any effect.
The current TSO algorithm tries to send MTU-sized packets, where the
MTU typically is 1500 bytes, which gives 1448 bytes of TCP data
payload per packet for IPv4. That means if the TSO length limitiation
is set to 65536 bytes, there will be a data payload remainder of
(65536 - 1500) mod 1448 bytes which is equal to 324 bytes. Trying to
recover total TSO length due to inlining mbuf header data will not
have any effect, because adding or removing the ETH/IP/TCP headers
to or from 324 bytes will not cause more or less TCP payload to be
TSO'ed.
Existing network adapter limits will be updated separately.

Some virtual if drivers has (ab)used ifa ifa_rtrequest hook to enforce
route MTU to be not bigger that interface MTU. While ifa_rtrequest hooking
might be an option in some situation, it is not feasible to do MTU checks
there: generic (or per-domain) routing code is perfectly capable of doing
this.
We currrently have 3 places where MTU is altered:
1) route addition.
In this case domain overrides radix _addroute callback (in[6]_addroute)
and all necessary checks/fixes are/can be done there.
2) route change (especially, GW change).
In this case, there are no explicit per-domain calls, but one can
override rte by setting ifa_rtrequest hook to domain handler
(inet6 does this).
3) ifconfig ifaceX mtu YYYY
In this case, we have no callbacks, but ip[6]_output performes runtime
checks and decreases rt_mtu if necessary.
Generally, the goals are to be able to handle all MTU changes in
control plane, not in runtime part, and properly deal with increased
interface MTU.
This commit changes the following:
* removes hooks setting MTU from drivers side
* adds proper per-doman MTU checks for case 1)
* adds generic MTU check for case 2)
* The latter is done by using new dom_ifmtu callback since
if_mtu denotes L3 interface MTU, e.g. maximum trasmitted _packet_ size.
However, IPv6 mtu might be different from if_mtu one (e.g. default 1280)
for some cases, so we need an abstract way to know maximum MTU size
for given interface and domain.
* moves rt_setmetrics() before MTU/ifa_rtrequest hooks since it copies
user-supplied data which must be checked.
* removes RT_LOCK_ASSERT() from other ifa_rtrequest hooks to be able to
use this functions on new non-inserted rte.
More changes will follow soon.
