Forwarded packets passed through PFIL_OUT, which made it difficult for
firewalls to figure out if they were forwarding or producing packets. This in
turn is an issue for pf for IPv6 fragment handling: it needs to call
ip6_output() or ip6_forward() to handle the fragments. Figuring out which was
difficult (and until now, incorrect).
Having pfil distinguish the two removes an ugly piece of code from pf.
Introduce a new variant of the netpfil callbacks with a flags variable, which
has PFIL_FWD set for forwarded packets. This allows pf to reliably work out if
a packet is forwarded.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
This ensures that the loader will not load the module if it's also built in to

This calls ioctl() handlers for the different interfaces in the bridge.
These handlers expect to get called in an ioctl context where it's safe
for them to sleep. We may not sleep with the bridge lock held.
However, we still need to protect the interface list, to ensure it
doesn't get changed while we iterate over it.
Use BRIDGE_XLOCK(), which prevents bridge members from being removed.
Adding bridge members is safe, because it uses LIST_INSERT_HEAD().
This caused panics when adding xen interfaces to a bridge.

Fragmented UDP and ICMP packets were corrupted if a firewall with reassembling
feature (like pf'scrub) is enabled on the bridge. This patch fixes corrupted
packet problem and the panic (triggered easly with low RAM) as explain in PR
185633.
bridge_pfil and bridge_fragment relationship:
bridge_pfil() receive (IN direction) packets and sent it to the firewall The
firewall can be configured for reassembling fragmented packet (like pf'scrubing)
in one mbuf chain when bridge_pfil() need to send this reassembled packet to the
outgoing interface, it needs to re-fragment it by using bridge_fragment()
bridge_fragment() had to split this mbuf (using ip_fragment) first then
had to M_PREPEND each packet in the mbuf chain for adding Ethernet
header.
But M_PREPEND can sometime create a new mbuf on the begining of the mbuf chain,
then the "main" pointer of this mbuf chain should be updated and this case is
tottaly forgotten. The original bridge_fragment code (Revision 158140,
2006 April 29) came from OpenBSD, and the call to bridge_enqueue was
embedded. But on FreeBSD, bridge_enqueue() is done after bridge_fragment(),
then the original OpenBSD code can't work as-it of FreeBSD.

than removing the network interfaces first. This change is rather larger
and convoluted as the ordering requirements cannot be separated.
Move the pfil(9) framework to SI_SUB_PROTO_PFIL, move Firewalls and
related modules to their own SI_SUB_PROTO_FIREWALL.
Move initialization of "physical" interfaces to SI_SUB_DRIVERS,
move virtual (cloned) interfaces to SI_SUB_PSEUDO.
Move Multicast to SI_SUB_PROTO_MC.
Re-work parts of multicast initialisation and teardown, not taking the
huge amount of memory into account if used as a module yet.
For interface teardown we try to do as many of them as we can on
SI_SUB_INIT_IF, but for some this makes no sense, e.g., when tunnelling
over a higher layer protocol such as IP. In that case the interface
has to go along (or before) the higher layer protocol is shutdown.
Kernel hhooks need to go last on teardown as they may be used at various
higher layers and we cannot remove them before we cleaned up the higher
layers.
For interface teardown there are multiple paths:
(a) a cloned interface is destroyed (inside a VIMAGE or in the base system),
(b) any interface is moved from a virtual network stack to a different
network stack ("vmove"), or (c) a virtual network stack is being shut down.
All code paths go through if_detach_internal() where we, depending on the
vmove flag or the vnet state, make a decision on how much to shut down;
in case we are destroying a VNET the individual protocol layers will
cleanup their own parts thus we cannot do so again for each interface as
we end up with, e.g., double-frees, destroying locks twice or acquiring
already destroyed locks.
When calling into protocol cleanups we equally have to tell them
whether they need to detach upper layer protocols ("ulp") or not
(e.g., in6_ifdetach()).
Provide or enahnce helper functions to do proper cleanup at a protocol
rather than at an interface level.

vtnet interfaces are always in promiscuous mode (at least if the
VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_RX feature is not negotiated with the host). if_promisc() on
a vtnet interface returned ENOTSUP although it has IFF_PROMISC set. This
confused the bridge code. Instead we now accept all enable/disable promiscuous
commands (and always keep IFF_PROMISC set).
There are also two issues with the if_bridge error handling.
If if_promisc() fails it uses bridge_delete_member() to clean up. This tries to
disable promiscuous mode on the interface. That runs into an assert, because
promiscuous mode was never set in the first place. (That's the panic reported in
PR 200210.)
We can only unset promiscuous mode if the interface actually is promiscuous.
This goes against the reference counting done by if_promisc(), but only the
first/last if_promic() calls can actually fail, so this is safe.
A second issue is a double free of bif. It's already freed by
bridge_delete_member().

there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

interface, in the r241616 a crutch was provided. It didn't work well, and

o Remove the if_baudrate_pf crutch.
o Make all fields of struct if_data fixed machine independent size. The
notion of data (packet counters, etc) are by no means MD. And it is a
bug that on amd64 we've got a 64-bit counters, while on i386 32-bit,
which at modern speeds overflow within a second.
This also removes quite a lot of COMPAT_FREEBSD32 code.
o Give 16 bit for the ifi_datalen field. This field was provided to
make future changes to if_data less ABI breaking. Unfortunately the
8 bit size of it had effectively limited sizeof if_data to 256 bytes.
o Give 32 bits to ifi_mtu and ifi_metric.
o Give 64 bits to the rest of fields, since they are counters.
