# sysctl net.link.ether.bdg_ipf=1
To enable. Just like ipfw(8) bridging, only input packets are filtered
in the bridge. Filtering works just like in the IP layer, ipf(8)
first, then ipfw(8). And just like in the IP layer, both are
independent, one need not be run to use the other. (Note: This will
not work in, but doesn't break, the bridge.ko module. The ipl.ko
module would need to be fixed before that is worth worrying about.)

o Prepend underscores to the ntohl() family to help deal with
complexities associated with having MD (asm and inline) versions, and
having to prevent exposure of these functions in other headers that
happen to make use of endian-specific defines.
o Create weak aliases to the canonical function name to help deal with
third-party software forgetting to include an appropriate header.

o Add missing <arpa/inet.h> includes in userland.

In order of importance:
+ each cluster now uses private data structures (filtering and
local address tables) so you can treat them as fully independent
switches. This part of the work was supported by:
Cisco Systems, Inc. - NSITE lab, RTP, NC.
+ cleaned up the handling of configuration, so the system will behave
much better when real or pseudo devices are dynamically attached
or detached. It should also not panic anymore on systems with large
number of devices, closing a few existings PRs on the topic.
+ while at it, add support for VLAN. This means that a FreeBSD box
can now work as a real VLAN switch, with trunk interfaces etc.
As an example:
ifconfig vlan0 vlan 3 vlandev dc0
ifconfig vlan1 vlan 4 vlandev dc0
net.link.ether.bridge_cfg="vlan0:3,dc1:3,vlan1:4,dc1:4"
uses dc0 as a trunk interface, and dc1 and dc3 as ports on vlans 3 and 4
You get the idea...
NOTA BENE: by default bridge_cfg is initialised to "" so even if
you enable bridging, no packets will be bridged until you set the
list of interfaces on which you want this to happen.
+ large restructuring of the code, moving private vars and types from
bridge.h to bridge.c.
+ added a lot of comments to the code to explain how to use it.
+ implement "limit" rules, which permit to limit the number of sessions
between certain host pairs (according to masks). These are a special
type of stateful rules, which might be of interest in some cases.
See the ipfw manpage for details.
+ merge the list pointers and ipfw rule descriptors in the kernel, so
the code is smaller, faster and more readable. This patch basically
consists in replacing "foo->rule->bar" with "rule->bar" all over
the place.
I have been willing to do this for ages!
MFC after: 1 week
+ configuration: make sure that the NUL at the end of the config
string is properly detected and handled, and the stats passed
up via sysctl properly reflect which interfaces do bridging.
(The whole config support might make good use of some cleanup
in the future).
+ fixed some bugs related to the corruption of multicast and
broadcast packets: make sure that for those packets the entire
IP + ethernet header is in the mbuf, not in a cluster, so
that writes performed in that area by the upper layers do
not affect us.
+ performance: when calling m_pullup, make room for the ethernet header
as well, we are going to add it in right after. Also, change an m_dup
back to m_copypacket. The former is not necessary anymore now, and
it did not help, anyways.
I will do a fast MFC because 95% of this patch is fixing bad bugs
and i doubt anyone would test the fix in CURRENT. Plus the last
two items mostly bring back some code which was already there in 4.0
times.
before adding/removing packets from the queue. Also, the if_obytes and
if_omcasts fields should only be manipulated under protection of the mutex.
IF_ENQUEUE, IF_PREPEND, and IF_DEQUEUE perform all necessary locking on
the queue. An IF_LOCK macro is provided, as well as the old (mutex-less)
versions of the macros in the form _IF_ENQUEUE, _IF_QFULL, for code which
needs them, but their use is discouraged.
Two new macros are introduced: IF_DRAIN() to drain a queue, and IF_HANDOFF,
which takes care of locking/enqueue, and also statistics updating/start
if necessary.
* Some dummynet code incorrectly handled a malloc()-allocated pseudo-mbuf
header structure, called "pkt," and could consequently pollute the mbuf
free list if it was ever passed to m_freem(). The fix involved passing not
pkt, but essentially pkt->m_next (which is a real mbuf) to the mbuf
utility routines.
* Also, for dummynet, in bdg_forward(), made the code copy the ethernet header
back into the mbuf (prepended) because the dummynet code that follows expects
it to be there but it is, unfortunately for dummynet, passed to bdg_forward
as a seperate argument.

sifficient. But somewhere (I believe in the UDP stuff), someone is
overwriting an mbuf without calling m_pullup() first. This results in
broad- and multi-cast traffic that is passed through the bridge getting
corrupted.
This should be backed out when there is some assurance that the upper
layers (and I suppose all of the device drivers) are fixed.

happens to free the packet and make our pointer NULL. There may be
more similar problems like this one with calls to bdg_forward().

Also, remove the (incomplete) hack for matching ethernet headers

The good news: net result of 1016 lines removed, and this should make
bridging now work with *all* Ethernet drivers.
The bad news: it's nearly impossible to test every driver, especially
for bridging, and I was unable to get much testing help on the mailing
lists.
