draft-ietf-6man-enhanced-dad-13.
This basically adds a random nonce option (RFC 3971) to NS messages
for DAD probe to detect a looped back packet. This looped back packet
prevented DAD on some pseudo-interfaces which aggregates multiple L2 links
such as lagg(4).
The length of the nonce is set to 6 bytes. This algorithm can be disabled by
setting net.inet6.ip6.dad_enhanced sysctl to 0 in a per-vnet basis.

of packets. When the data payload length excluding any headers, of an
outgoing IPv4 packet exceeds PAGE_SIZE bytes, a special case in
ip_fragment() can kick in to optimise the outgoing payload(s). The
code which was added in r98849 as part of zero copy socket support
assumes that the beginning of any MTU sized payload is aligned to
where a MBUF's "m_data" pointer points. This is not always the case
and can sometimes cause large IPv4 packets, as part of ping replies,
to be split more than needed.
Instead of iterating the MBUFs to figure out how much data is in the
current chain, use the value already in the "m_pkthdr.len" field of
the first MBUF in the chain.

Previous __alignment(4) allowed compiler to assume that operations are
performed on aligned region. On ARM processor, this led to alignment fault
as shown below:
trapframe: 0xda9e5b10
FSR=00000001, FAR=a67b680e, spsr=60000113
r0 =00000000, r1 =00000068, r2 =0000007c, r3 =00000000
r4 =a67b6826, r5 =a67b680e, r6 =00000014, r7 =00000068
r8 =00000068, r9 =da9e5bd0, r10=00000011, r11=da9e5c10
r12=da9e5be0, ssp=da9e5b60, slr=a054f164, pc =a054f2cc
<...>
udp_input+0x264: ldmia r5, {r0-r3, r6}
udp_input+0x268: stmia r12, {r0-r3, r6}
This was due to instructions which do not support unaligned access,
whereas for __alignment(2) compiler replaced ldmia/stmia with some
logically equivalent memcpy operations.
In fact, the assumption that 'struct ip' is always 4-byte aligned
is definitely false, as we have no impact on data alignment of packet
stream received.
Another possible solution would be to explicitely perform memcpy()
on objects of 'struct ip' type, which, however, would suffer from
performance drop, and be merely a problem hiding.
Please, note that this has nothing to do with
ARM32_DISABLE_ALIGNMENT_FAULTS option, but is related strictly to
compiler behaviour.

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 motivation here is to eventually teach netisr and potentially
other networking subsystems a bit more about how RSS work queues / buckets
are configured so things have a hope of auto-configuring in the future.
* net/rss_config.[ch] takes care of the generic bits for doing
configuration, hash function selection, etc;
* topelitz.[ch] is now in net/ rather than netinet/;

that's a later thing to fix up.)
* netinet/in_rss.[ch] now just contains the IPv4 specific methods;
* and netinet/in6_rss.[ch] now just contains the IPv6 specific methods.
This should have no functional impact on anyone currently using

DCTCP congestion control algorithm aims to maximise throughput and minimise
latency in data center networks by utilising the proportion of Explicit
Congestion Notification (ECN) marked packets received from capable hardware as a
congestion signal.
Highlights:
Implemented as a mod_cc(4) module.
ECN (Explicit congestion notification) processing is done differently from
RFC3168.
Takes one-sided DCTCP into consideration where only one of the sides is using
DCTCP and other is using standard ECN.

* Remove IFT_ARCNET check from arpresolve() since arc_output() does not
use arpresolve() to handle broadcast/multicast. This check was there
since r84931. It looks like it was not used since r89099 (initial
import of Arcnet support where multicast is handled separately).
* Remove IFT_IEEE1394 case from nd6_storelladdr() since firewire_output()
calles nd6_storelladdr() for unicast addresses only.
* Remove IFT_ARCNET case from nd6_storelladdr() since arc_output() now
handles multicast by itself.
As a result, we have the following pattern: all non-ethernet-style
media have their own multicast map handling inside their appropriate
routines. On the other hand, arpresolve() (and nd6_storelladdr()) which
meant to be 'generic' ones de-facto handles ethernet-only multicast maps.

CARP devices are created with advskew set to '0' and once you set it to
any other value in the valid range (0..254) you can't set it back to zero.
The code in question is also used to prevent that zeroed values overwrite
the CARP defaults when a new CARP device is created. Since advskew already
defaults to '0' for newly created devices and the new value is guaranteed
to be within the valid range, it is safe to overwrite it here.

the knowledge of mbuf layout, and in particular constants such as M_EXT,
MLEN, MHLEN, and so on, in mbuf consumers by unifying various alignment
utility functions (M_ALIGN(), MH_ALIGN(), MEXT_ALIGN() in a single
M_ALIGN() macro, implemented by a now-inlined m_align() function:
- Move m_align() from uipc_mbuf.c to mbuf.h; mark as __inline.
- Reimplement M_ALIGN(), MH_ALIGN(), and MEXT_ALIGN() using m_align().
- Update consumers around the tree to simply use M_ALIGN().
This change eliminates a number of cases where mbuf consumers must be aware
of whether or not mbufs returned by the allocator use external storage, but
also assumptions about the size of the returned mbuf. This will make it
easier to introduce changes in how we use external storage, as well as
features such as variable-size mbufs.
