A single gratuitous ARP (GARP) is always transmitted when an IPv4
address is added to an interface, and that is usually sufficient.
However, in some circumstances, such as when a shared address is
passed between cluster nodes, this single GARP may occasionally be
dropped or lost. This can lead to neighbors on the network link
working with a stale ARP cache and sending packets destined for
that address to the node that previously owned the address, which
may not respond.
To avoid this situation, GARP retransmissions can be enabled by setting
the net.link.ether.inet.garp_rexmit_count sysctl to a value greater
than zero. The setting represents the maximum number of retransmissions.
The interval between retransmissions is calculated using an exponential
backoff algorithm, doubling each time, so the retransmission intervals
are: {1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...} (seconds).
Due to the exponential backoff algorithm used for the interval
between GARP retransmissions, the maximum number of retransmissions
is limited to 16 for sanity. This limit corresponds to a maximum
interval between retransmissions of 2^16 seconds ~= 18 hours.
Increasing this limit is possible, but sending out GARPs spaced
days apart would be of little use.

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.

If source of ARP request didn't pass the routing check

Reported by: quadro at irc@rusnet
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
This also fixes the carp IPv6 NA's that stopped working after r251584 which
added the ipv6_route__llma route.
The new behavour can be controlled using the sysctls:
* net.link.ether.inet.arp_on_link
* net.inet6.icmp6.nd6_on_link

LLE structure is mostly unchanged during its lifecycle.
To be more specific, there are 2 things relevant for fast path
lookup code:
1) link-level address change. Since r286722, these updates are performed
under AFDATA WLOCK.
2) Some sort of feedback indicating that this particular entry is used so
we re-send arp request to perform reachability verification instead of
expiring entry. The only signal that is needed from fast path is something
like binary yes/no.
The latter is solved by the following changes:
1) introduce special r_skip_req field which is read lockless by fast path,
but updated under (new) req_mutex mutex. If this field is non-zero, then
fast path will acquire lock and set it back to 0.
2) introduce simple state machine: incomplete->reachable<->verify->deleted.
Before that we implicitely had incomplete->reachable->deleted state machine,
with V_arpt_keep between "reachable" and "deleted". Verification was performed
in runtime 5 seconds before V_arpt_keep expire.
This is changed to "change state to verify 5 seconds before V_arpt_keep,
set r_skip_req to non-zero value and check it every second". If the value
is zero - then send arp verification probe.
These changes do not introduce any signifficant control plane overhead:
typically lle callout timer would fire 1 time more each V_arpt_keep (1200s)
for used lles and up to arp_maxtries (5) for dead lles.
As a result, all packets towards "reachable" lle are handled by fast path without
acquiring lle read lock.
Additional "req_mutex" is needed because callout / arpresolve_slow() or eventhandler
might keep LLE lock for signifficant amount of time, which might not be feasible
for fast path locking (e.g. having rmlock as ether AFDATA or lltable own lock).

unconditionally, we end up with an mbuf chain of two mbufs, which
later in in_arpreply() is rewritten from ARP request to ARP reply
and is sent out. Looks like igb(4) (at least mine, and at least
at my network) fails on such mbuf chain, so ARP reply doesn't go
out wire. Thus, make the m_pullup() call conditional, as it is
everywhere. Of course, the bug in igb(?) should be investigated,
but better first fix the head. And unconditional m_pullup() was
suboptimal, anyway.

Before that, the logic besides lle_create() was the following:
return existing if found, create if not. This behaviour was error-prone
since we had to deal with 'sudden' static<>dynamic lle changes.
This commit fixes bunch of different issues like:
- refcount leak when lle is converted to static.
Simple check case:
console 1:
while true;
do for i in `arp -an|awk '$4~/incomp/{print$2}'|tr -d '()'`;
do arp -s $i 00:22:44:66:88:00 ; arp -d $i;
done;
done
console 2:
ping -f any-dead-host-in-L2
console 3:
# watch for memory consumption:
vmstat -m | awk '$1~/lltable/{print$2}'
- possible problems in arptimer() / nd6_timer() when dropping/reacquiring
lock.
New logic explicitly handles use-or-create cases in every lla_create
user. Basically, most of the changes are purely mechanical. However,
we explicitly avoid using existing lle's for interface/static LLE records.
* While here, call lle_event handlers on all real table lle change.
* Create lltable_free_entry() calling existing per-lltable
lle_free_t callback for entry deletion
This change isolates the most common case (e.g. successful lookup)
from more complicates scenarios. It also (tries to) make code
more simple by avoiding retry: cycle.
The actual goal is to prepare code to the upcoming change that will
allow LL address retrieval without acquiring LLE lock at all.

and arp were being used. They basically would pass in the
mutex to the callout_init. Because they used this method
to the callout system, it was possible to "stop" the callout.
When flushing the table and you stopped the running callout, the
callout_stop code would return 1 indicating that it was going
to stop the callout (that was about to run on the callout_wheel blocked
by the function calling the stop). Now when 1 was returned, it would
lower the reference count one extra time for the stopped timer, then
a few lines later delete the memory. Of course the callout_wheel was
stuck in the lock code and would then crash since it was accessing
freed memory. By using callout_init(c, 1) we always get a 0 back
and the reference counting bug does not rear its head. We do have
to make a few adjustments to the callouts themselves though to make
sure it does the proper thing if rescheduled as well as gets the lock.

The goals of the new API is to provide consumers with minimal
needed information, but as fast as possible. So we provide
full nexthop info copied into alighed on-cache structure
instead of rte/ia pointers, their refcounts and locks.
This does not provide solution for protecting from egress
ifp destruction, but does not make it any worse.
Current changes:
nhops:
Add fib4_lookup_prepend() function which stores either full
L2+L3 prepend info (e.g. MAC header in case of plain IPv4) or
L3 info with NH_FLAGS_L2_INCOMPLETE flag indicating that no valid L2
info exists and we have to take "slow" path.
ip_output:
Currently ip[ 46]_output consumers use 'struct route' for
the following purposes:
1) double lookup avoidance(route caching)
2) plain route caching
3) get path MTU to be able to notify source.
The former pattern is mostly used by various tunnels
(gif, gre, stf). (Actually, gre is the only remaining,
others were already converted. Their locking model did
not scale good enogh to benefit from such caching, so
we have (temporarily) removed it without any performance
loss).
Plain route caching used by SCTP is simply wrong and should be removed.
Temporary break it for now just to be able to compile.
Optimize path mtu reporting by providing it in new 'route_info' stucture.
Minimize games with @ia locking/refcounting for route lookup:
add special nhop[46]_extended structure to store more route attributes.
Pointer to given structure can be passed to fib4_lookup_prepend() to indicate
we want this info (we actually needs it for UDP and raw IP).
ether_output:
Provide light-weight ether_output2() call to deal with
transmitting L2 frame (e.g. properly handle broadcast/simloop/bridge/
other L2 hooks before actually transmitting frame by if_transmit()).
Add a hack based on new RT_NHOP ro_flag to distinguish which version should
we call. Better way is probably to add a new "if_output_frame" driver
callbacks.
Next steps:
* Convert ip_fastfwd part
* Implement auto-growing array for per-radix nexthops
* Implement LLE tracking for nexthop calculations to be able to
immediately provide all necessary info in single route lookup
for gateway routes
* Switch radix locking scheme to runtime/cfg lock
* Implement multipath support for rtsock
* Implement "tracked nexthops" for tunnels (e.g. _proper_
nexthop caching)
* Add IPv6 support for remaining parts (postponed not to
interfere with user/ae/inet6 branch)
* Consider adding "if_output_frame" driver call to
