* struct llentry is now basically split into 2 pieces:
all fields within 64 bytes (amd64) are now protected by both
ifdata lock AND lle lock, e.g. you require both locks to be held
exclusively for modification. All data necessary for fast path
operations is kept here. Some fields were added:
- r_l3addr - makes lookup key liev within first 64 bytes.
- r_flags - flags, containing pre-compiled decision whether given
lle contains usable data or not. Current the only flag is RLLE_VALID.
- r_len - prepend data len, currently unused
- r_kick - used to provide feedback to control plane (see below).
All other fields are protected by lle lock.
* Add simple state machine for ARP to handle "about to expire" case:
Current model (for the fast path) is the following:
- rlock afdata
- find / rlock rte
- runlock afdata
- see if "expire time" is approaching
(time_uptime + la->la_preempt > la->la_expire)
- if true, call arprequest() and decrease la_preempt
- store MAC and runlock rte
New model (data plane):
- rlock afdata
- find rte
- check if it can be used using r_* fields only
- if true, store MAC
- if r_kick field != 0 set it to 0.
- runlock afdata
New mode (control plane):
- schedule arptimer to be called in (V_arpt_keep - V_arp_maxtries)
seconds instead of V_arpt_keep.
- on first timer invocation change state from ARP_LLINFO_REACHABLE
to ARP_LLINFO_VERIFY, sets r_kick to 1 and shedules next call in
V_arpt_rexmit (default to 1 sec).
- on subsequent timer invocations in ARP_LLINFO_VERIFY state, checks
for r_kick value: reschedule if not changed, and send arprequest()
if set to zero (e.g. entry was used).
* Convert IPv4 path to use new single-lock approach. IPv6 bits to follow.
* Slow down in_arpinput(): now valid reply will (in most cases) require
acquiring afdata WLOCK twice. This is requirement for storing changed
lle data. This change will be slightly optimized in future.
* Provide explicit hash link/unlink functions for both ipv4/ipv6 code.
This will probably be moved to generic lle code once we have per-AF
hashing callback inside lltable.
* Perform lle unlink on deletion immediately instead of delaying it to
the timer routine.
* Make r244183 more explicit: use new LLE_CALLOUTREF flag to indicate the
presence of lle reference used for safe callout calls.
lla_lookup(LLE_CREATE) -> lla_create
lla_lookup(LLE_DELETE) -> lla_delete
Assume lla_create to return LLE_EXCLUSIVE lock for lle.
* Rework lla_rt_output to perform all lle changes under afdata WLOCK.
* change arp_ifscrub() ackquire afdata WLOCK, the same as arp_ifinit().

Previously there was a race condition between the address addition

This caused "is using my IP address" warnings as well as data being

changed the fibnum parameter in the call to rtalloc1_fib() in
ifa_switch_loopback_route() from RT_DEFAULT_FIB to RT_ALL_FIBS. The solution
is to use the interface fib in that call. For the majority of users, that will

from scratch, copying needed functionality from the old implemenation

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.

When a fast machine first brings up some non TCP networking program
it is quite possible that we will drop packets due to the fact that
only one packet can be held per ARP entry. This leads to packets
being missed when a program starts or restarts if the ARP data is
not currently in the ARP cache.
This code adds a new sysctl, net.link.ether.inet.maxhold, which defines
a system wide maximum number of packets to be held in each ARP entry.
Up to maxhold packets are queued until an ARP reply is received or
the ARP times out. The default setting is the old value of 1
which has been part of the BSD networking code since time
immemorial.
Expose the time we hold an incomplete ARP entry by adding
the sysctl net.link.ether.inet.wait, which defaults to 20
seconds, the value used when the new ARP code was added..

only one prefix route is installed. So connection load balancing
among the available interfaces is not possible.
The other advantage of ECMP is for failover. The issue with the
current code, is that the interface link-state is not reflected
in the route entry. For example, if there are two interfaces on
the same prefix, the cable on one interface is unplugged, new and
existing connections should switch over to the other interface.
This is not done today and packets go into a black hole.
Also, there is a small bug in the kernel where deleting ECMP routes
in the userland will always return an error even though the command
is successfully executed.

these cases the loopback route is not installed for the local
end.

aliases were added or deleted. The announced route entry for
an address alias is no longer empty because this empty route
entry was causing some route daemon to fail and exit abnormally.

IFF_POINTOPOINT link types. The reason was due to the routing
entry returned from the kernel covering the remote end is of an
interface type that does not support ARP. This patch fixes this
problem by providing a hint to the kernel routing code, which
indicates the prefix route instead of the PPP host route should
be returned to the caller. Since a host route to the local end
point is also added into the routing table, and there could be
multiple such instantiations due to multiple PPP links can be
created with the same local end IP address, this patch also fixes
the loopback route installation failure problem observed prior to
this patch. The reference count of loopback route to local end would
be either incremented or decremented. The first instantiation would
create the entry and the last removal would delete the route entry.
