To retain the security advantage of random ports and ensure
correct operation for high connection rate users, disable
port randomization during periods of high connection rates.
Whenever the connection rate exceeds randomcps (10 by default),
randomization will be disabled for randomtime (45 by default)

While it is true that the pcbinfo lock provides a pseudo-reference to
inpcbs, both the inpcb and pcbinfo locks are required to free an
un-referenced inpcb. As such, we can release the pcbinfo lock as
long as the inpcb remains locked with the confidence that it will not
be garbage-collected. This leads to a less conservative locking
strategy that should reduce contention on the TCP pcbinfo lock.

So this removes the debug.mpsafenet=0 requirement when using

It should be noted that this locking mechanism does not guarantee
fairness between read and write locks, and that it will favor

This socket option allows processes query a TCP socket for some low

this makes the API somewhat fragile as it makes it dificult to add

configuration, when running with multiple netisrs or direct ithread

- Eliminate udp_ip6, which is believed to be generated but then never

- Eliminate setting, testing, and existence of 'init' status fields

could lead to amortization of IPv4 -> IPv6 conversion when
delivering an IPv4 UDP packet to an IPv6 socket, it added
substantial complexity and side effects.
- Move global structures into the stack, declaring udp_in in
udp_input(), and udp_in6 in udp_append() to be used if a conversion

- Re-annotate comments to reflect updates.

Remove conflicting declaration 'struct pr_usrreqs nousrreqs'. It is
now declared and initialized in kern/uipc_domain.c.
With pr_proto_register() it has become possible to dynamically load protocols
within the PF_INET domain. However the PF_INET domain has a second important
structure called ip_protox[] that is derived from the 'struct protosw inetsw[]'
and takes care of the de-multiplexing of the various protocols that ride on
top of IP packets.
The functions ipproto_[un]register() allow to dynamically adjust the ip_protox[]
array mux in a consistent and easy way. To register a protocol within
ip_protox[] the existence of a corresponding and matching protocol definition
in inetsw[] is required. The function does not allow to overwrite an already
registered protocol. The unregister function simply replaces the mux slot with
the default index pointer to IPPROTO_RAW as it was previously.
(sorele()/sotryfree()):
- This permits the caller to acquire the accept mutex before the socket
mutex, avoiding sofree() having to drop the socket mutex and re-order,
which could lead to races permitting more than one thread to enter
sofree() after a socket is ready to be free'd.
- This also covers clearing of the so_pcb weak socket reference from
the protocol to the socket, preventing races in clearing and
evaluation of the reference such that sofree() might be called more
than once on the same socket.
This appears to close a race I was able to easily trigger by repeatedly
opening and resetting TCP connections to a host, in which the
tcp_close() code called as a result of the RST raced with the close()
of the accepted socket in the user process resulting in simultaneous
attempts to de-allocate the same socket. The new locking increases
the overhead for operations that may potentially free the socket, so we
will want to revise the synchronization strategy here as we normalize
the reference counting model for sockets. The use of the accept mutex
in freeing of sockets that are not listen sockets is primarily
motivated by the potential need to remove the socket from the
incomplete connection queue on its parent (listen) socket, so cleaning
up the reference model here may allow us to substantially weaken the
synchronization requirements.

processes in jail could create raw sockets, additional access control
checks were added to raw IP sockets to limit the ways in which those
sockets could be used. Specifically, only the socket option IP_HDRINCL
was permitted in rip_ctloutput(). Other socket options were protected
by a call to suser(). This change was required to prevent processes
in a Jail from modifying system properties such as multicast routing
and firewall rule sets.
However, it also introduced a regression: processes that create a raw
socket with root privilege, but then downgraded credential (i.e., a
daemon giving up root, or a setuid process switching back to the real
uid) could no longer issue other unprivileged generic IP socket option
operations, such as IP_TOS, IP_TTL, and the multicast group membership
options, which prevented multicast routing daemons (and some other
tools) from operating correctly.
This change pushes the access control decision down to the granularity
of individual socket options, rather than all socket options, on raw
IP sockets. When rip_ctloutput() doesn't implement an option, it will
now pass the request directly to in_control() without an access
control check. This should restore the functionality of the generic
IP socket options for raw sockets in the above-described scenarios,
which may be confirmed with the ipsockopt regression test.

and preserves the ipfw ABI. The ipfw core packet inspection and filtering
functions have not been changed, only how ipfw is invoked is different.
However there are many changes how ipfw is and its add-on's are handled:
In general ipfw is now called through the PFIL_HOOKS and most associated
magic, that was in ip_input() or ip_output() previously, is now done in
ipfw_check_[in|out]() in the ipfw PFIL handler.
IPDIVERT is entirely handled within the ipfw PFIL handlers. A packet to
be diverted is checked if it is fragmented, if yes, ip_reass() gets in for
reassembly. If not, or all fragments arrived and the packet is complete,
divert_packet is called directly. For 'tee' no reassembly attempt is made
and a copy of the packet is sent to the divert socket unmodified. The
original packet continues its way through ip_input/output().
ipfw 'forward' is done via m_tag's. The ipfw PFIL handlers tag the packet
with the new destination sockaddr_in. A check if the new destination is a
local IP address is made and the m_flags are set appropriately. ip_input()
and ip_output() have some more work to do here. For ip_input() the m_flags
are checked and a packet for us is directly sent to the 'ours' section for
further processing. Destination changes on the input path are only tagged
and the 'srcrt' flag to ip_forward() is set to disable destination checks
and ICMP replies at this stage. The tag is going to be handled on output.
ip_output() again checks for m_flags and the 'ours' tag. If found, the
packet will be dropped back to the IP netisr where it is going to be picked
up by ip_input() again and the directly sent to the 'ours' section. When
only the destination changes, the route's 'dst' is overwritten with the
new destination from the forward m_tag. Then it jumps back at the route
lookup again and skips the firewall check because it has been marked with
M_SKIP_FIREWALL. ipfw 'forward' has to be compiled into the kernel with
'option IPFIREWALL_FORWARD' to enable it.
DUMMYNET is entirely handled within the ipfw PFIL handlers. A packet for
a dummynet pipe or queue is directly sent to dummynet_io(). Dummynet will
then inject it back into ip_input/ip_output() after it has served its time.
Dummynet packets are tagged and will continue from the next rule when they
hit the ipfw PFIL handlers again after re-injection.
BRIDGING and IPFW_ETHER are not changed yet and use ipfw_chk() directly as
they did before. Later this will be changed to dedicated ETHER PFIL_HOOKS.
More detailed changes to the code:

Add netinet/ip_fw_pfil.c.

- Append the ipfw opcode list with O_JAIL.
- While Iam here, add a comment informing others that if they
want to add additional opcodes, they should append them to the end
of the list to avoid ABI breakage.
- Add ``fw_prid'' to the ipfw ucred cache structure.
- When initializing ucred cache, if the process is jailed,
set fw_prid to the prison ID, otherwise set it to -1.
- Update man page to reflect these changes.
This change was a strong motivator behind the ucred caching
mechanism in ipfw.
A sample usage of this new functionality could be:

It should be noted that because ucred based constraints
are only implemented for TCP and UDP packets, the same
applies for jail associations.

Alice is too lazy to write a server application in PF-independent
manner. Therefore she knocks up the server using PF_INET6 only
and allows the IPv6 socket to accept mapped IPv4 as well. An evil
hacker known on IRC as cheshire_cat has an account in the same
system. He starts a process listening on the same port as used
by Alice's server, but in PF_INET. As a consequence, cheshire_cat
will distract all IPv4 traffic supposed to go to Alice's server.
Such sort of port theft was initially enabled by copying the code that
implemented the RFC 2553 semantics on IPv4/6 sockets (see inet6(4)) for
the implied case of the same owner for both connections. After this
change, the above scenario will be impossible. In the same setting,
the user who attempts to start his server last will get EADDRINUSE.
Of course, using IPv4 mapped to IPv6 leads to security complications
in the first place, but there is no reason to make it even more unsafe.
This change doesn't apply to KAME since it affects a FreeBSD-specific
part of the code. It doesn't modify the out-of-box behaviour of the
TCP/IP stack either as long as mapping IPv4 to IPv6 is off by default.

To quote the submitter:
The uRPF loose-check implementation by the industry vendors, at least on Cisco

is pointed to Null0 (on Juniper, discard or reject route). What this means is,
even if uRPF Loose-check finds the route, if the route is pointed to blackhole,
uRPF loose-check must fail. This allows people to utilize uRPF loose-check mode
as a pseudo-packet-firewall without using any manual filtering configuration --
one can simply inject a IGP or BGP prefix with next-hop set to a static route
that directs to null/discard facility. This results in uRPF Loose-check failing
on all packets with source addresses that are within the range of the nullroute.

Notes:
- INP_LOCK() is already held in udp_output(). The connection is in effect
happening at a layer lower than the socket layer, therefore in theory
socket locking should not be needed.
- Inlining the in_pcbdisconnect() operation buys us nothing (in the case
of the current state of the code), as laddr is not part of the
inpcb hash or the udbinfo hash. Therefore there should be no need
to rehash after restoring laddr in the error case (this was a

flags relating to several aspects of socket functionality. This change
breaks out several bits relating to send and receive operation into a
new per-socket buffer field, sb_state, in order to facilitate locking.
This is required because, in order to provide more granular locking of
sockets, different state fields have different locking properties. The
following fields are moved to sb_state:
SS_CANTRCVMORE (so_state)
SS_CANTSENDMORE (so_state)
SS_RCVATMARK (so_state)
Rename respectively to:
SBS_CANTRCVMORE (so_rcv.sb_state)
SBS_CANTSENDMORE (so_snd.sb_state)
SBS_RCVATMARK (so_rcv.sb_state)
This facilitates locking by isolating fields to be located with other
identically locked fields, and permits greater granularity in socket
locking by avoiding storing fields with different locking semantics in
the same short (avoiding locking conflicts). In the future, we may
wish to coallesce sb_state and sb_flags; for the time being I leave
them separate and there is no additional memory overhead due to the
packing/alignment of shorts in the socket buffer structure.

1. rt_check() cleanup:
rt_check() is only necessary for some address families to gain access
to the corresponding arp entry, so call it only in/near the *resolve()
routines where it is actually used -- at the moment this is
arpresolve(), nd6_storelladdr() (the call is embedded here),
and atmresolve() (the call is just before atmresolve to reduce
the number of changes).
This change will make it a lot easier to decouple the arp table
from the routing table.
There is an extra call to rt_check() in if_iso88025subr.c to
determine the routing info length. I have left it alone for
the time being.
The interface of arpresolve() and nd6_storelladdr() now changes slightly:
+ the 'rtentry' parameter (really a hint from the upper level layer)
is now passed unchanged from *_output(), so it becomes the route
to the final destination and not to the gateway.
+ the routines will return 0 if resolution is possible, non-zero
otherwise.
+ arpresolve() returns EWOULDBLOCK in case the mbuf is being held
waiting for an arp reply -- in this case the error code is masked
in the caller so the upper layer protocol will not see a failure.
