a socket from a regular socket to a listening socket able to accept new
connections. As part of this state transition, solisten() calls into the
protocol to update protocol-layer state. There were several bugs in this
implementation that could result in a race wherein a TCP SYN received
in the interval between the protocol state transition and the shortly
following socket layer transition would result in a panic in the TCP code,
as the socket would be in the TCPS_LISTEN state, but the socket would not
have the SO_ACCEPTCONN flag set.
This change does the following:
- Pushes the socket state transition from the socket layer solisten() to
to socket "library" routines called from the protocol. This permits
the socket routines to be called while holding the protocol mutexes,
preventing a race exposing the incomplete socket state transition to TCP
after the TCP state transition has completed. The check for a socket
layer state transition is performed by solisten_proto_check(), and the
actual transition is performed by solisten_proto().
- Holds the socket lock for the duration of the socket state test and set,
and over the protocol layer state transition, which is now possible as
the socket lock is acquired by the protocol layer, rather than vice
versa. This prevents additional state related races in the socket
layer.
This permits the dual transition of socket layer and protocol layer state
to occur while holding locks for both layers, making the two changes
atomic with respect to one another. Similar changes are likely require
elsewhere in the socket/protocol code.

configuration, when running with multiple netisrs or direct ithread
dispatch, this can result in races wherein user processes using
recvmsg() get back the wrong source IP/port. To correct this and
related races:
- Eliminate udp_ip6, which is believed to be generated but then never
used. Eliminate ip_2_ip6_hdr() as it is now unneeded.
- Eliminate setting, testing, and existence of 'init' status fields
for the IPv6 structures. While with multiple UDP delivery this
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
is required. Pass &udp_in into udp_append().
- Re-annotate comments to reflect updates.
With this change, UDP appears to operate correctly in the presence of

Remove conflicting declaration 'struct pr_usrreqs nousrreqs'. It is

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.
