done in CURRENT over the last 4 months.
HEAD and RELENG_8 are almost in sync now for ipfw, dummynet
the pfil hooks and related components.
Among the most noticeable changes:
- r200855 more efficient lookup of skipto rules, and remove O(N)
blocks from critical sections in the kernel;
- r204591 large restructuring of the dummynet module, with support
for multiple scheduling algorithms (4 available so far)
See the original commit logs for details.
Changes in the kernel/userland ABI should be harmless because the
kernel is able to understand previous requests from RELENG_8 and
RELENG_7. For this reason, this changeset would be applicable
to RELENG_7 as well, but i am not sure if it is worthwhile.
Introduce a div_destroy() function which takes over per-vnet cleanup tasks
from the existing modevent / MOD_UNLOAD handler, and register div_destroy()
in protosw as per-vnet .pr_destroy() handler for options VIMAGE builds. In
nooptions VIMAGE builds, div_destroy() will be invoked from the modevent
handler, resulting in effectively identical operation as it was prior this
change. div_destroy() also tears down hashtables used by ipdivert, which
were previously left behind on ipdivert kldunloads.
For options VIMAGE builds only, temporarily disable kldunloading of ipdivert,
because without introducing additional locking logic it is impossible to
atomically check whether all ipdivert instances in all vnets are idle, and
proceed with cleanup without opening a race window for a vnet to open an
ipdivert socket while ipdivert tear-down is in progress.
While here, staticize div_init(), because it is not used outside of
ip_divert.c.

of protocols. The call to divert_packet() is done through a function pointer. All
semantics of IPDIVERT remain intact. If IPDIVERT is not loaded ipfw will refuse to
install divert rules and natd will complain about 'protocol not supported'. Once
it is loaded both will work and accept rules and open the divert socket. The module
can only be unloaded if no divert sockets are open. It does not close any divert
sockets when an unload is requested but will return EBUSY instead.
them mostly with packet tags (one case is handled by using an mbuf flag
since the linkage between "caller" and "callee" is direct and there's no
need to incur the overhead of a packet tag).
