MFC will occur in due time and probably in stages.
BUGFIX: fix a problem in old code which prevented reallocation of
the hash table for dynamic rules (there is a PR on this).
OTHER CHANGES: minor changes to the internal struct for static and dynamic rules.
Requires rebuild of ipfw binary.
Add comments to show how data structures are linked together.
(It probably makes no sense to keep the chain pointers separate
from actual rule descriptors. They will be hopefully merged soon.
keep a (sysctl-readable) counter for the number of static rules,
to speed up IP_FW_GET operations
initial support for a "grace time" for expired connections, so we
can set timeouts for closing connections to much shorter times.
merge zero_entry() and resetlog_entry(), they use basically the
same code.
clean up and reduce replication of code for removing rules,
both for readability and code size.
introduce a separate lifetime for dynamic UDP rules.
fix a problem in old code which prevented reallocation of
the hash table for dynamic rules (PR ...)
restructure dynamic rule descriptors
introduce some local variables to avoid multiple dereferencing of
pointer chains (reduces code size and hopefully increases speed).
Note ALL MODULES MUST BE RECOMPILED
make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.

about rules and dynamic rules. it later fills this buffer with these
rules.
it also takes the opporunity to compare the expiration of the dynamic
rules with the current time and either marks them for deletion or simply
charges the countdown.
unfortunatly it does this all (the sizing, the buffer copying, and the
expiration GC) with no spl protection whatsoever. it was possible for
the dynamic rule(s) to be ripped out from under the request before it
had completed, resulting in corrupt memory dereferencing.

It seems a wide number of people think 32k buffers would not cause major
issues, and is in fact in use by many other OS's at this time. The
receive buffers can be bumped higher as buffers are hardly used and several
research papers indicate that receive buffers rarely use much space at all.

generation scheme. Users may now select between the currently used
OpenBSD algorithm and the older random positive increment method.
While the OpenBSD algorithm is more secure, it also breaks TIME_WAIT
handling; this is causing trouble for an increasing number of folks.
To switch between generation schemes, one sets the sysctl
net.inet.tcp.tcp_seq_genscheme. 0 = random positive increments,
1 = the OpenBSD algorithm. 1 is still the default.
Once a secure _and_ compatible algorithm is implemented, this sysctl
will be removed.

RTF_DYNAMIC route, it got freed twice). I am not sure what was
the actual problem in 1992, but the current behavior is memory
leak if PCB holds a reference to a dynamically created/modified
routing table entry. (rt_refcnt>0 and we don't call rtfree().)
My test bed was:
1. Set net.inet.tcp.msl to a low value (for test purposes), e.g.,
5 seconds, to speed up the transition of TCP connection to a
"closed" state.
2. Add a network route which causes ICMP redirect from the gateway.
3. ping(8) host H that matches this route; this creates RTF_DYNAMIC
RTF_HOST route to H. (I was forced to use ICMP to cause gateway
to generate ICMP host redirect, because gateway in question is a
4.2-STABLE system vulnerable to a problem that was fixed later in
ip_icmp.c,v 1.39.2.6, and TCP packets with DF bit set were
triggering this bug.)
4. telnet(1) to H
5. Block access to H with ipfw(8)
6. Send something in telnet(1) session; this causes EPERM, followed
by an in_losing() call in a few seconds.
7. Delete ipfw(8) rule blocking access to H, and wait for TCP
connection moving to a CLOSED state; PCB is freed.
8. Delete host route to H.
9. Watch with netstat(1) that `rttrash' increased.
10. Repeat steps 3-9, and watch `rttrash' increases.
