- eliminate the fast/slow timeout lists for TCP and instead use a
callout entry for each timer.
- increase the TCP timer granularity to HZ
- implement "bad retransmit" recovery, as presented in
"On Estimating End-to-End Network Path Properties", by Allman and Paxson.

using syslog(3) (log(9)) for its various purposes! This long-awaited
change also includes such nice things as:
* macros expanding into _two_ comma-delimited arguments!
* snprintf!
* more snprintf!
* linting and criticism by more people than you can shake a stick at!
* a slightly more uniform message style than before!
and last but not least
* no less than 5 rewrites!

drop any segment arriving at a closed port.
tcp.blackhole=1 - only drop SYN without RST
tcp.blackhole=2 - drop everything without RST
tcp.blackhole=0 - always send RST - default behaviour
This confuses nmap -sF or -sX or -sN quite badly.
sysctl knobs.
With these knobs on, refused connection attempts are dropped
without sending a RST, or Port unreachable in the UDP case.
In the TCP case, sending of RST is inhibited iff the incoming
segment was a SYN.

- Be consistent with section names as outlines in mdoc(7)
- Other misc mdoc cleanup.

with a match probability to achieve non-deterministic behaviour of
the firewall. This can be extremely useful for testing purposes
such as simulating random packet drop without having to use dummynet
(which already does the same thing), and simulating multipath effects
and the associated out-of-order delivery (this time in conjunction
with dummynet).
The overhead on normal rules is just one comparison with 0.
Since it would have been trivial to implement this by just adding
a field to the ip_fw structure, I decided to do it in a
backward-compatible way (i.e. struct ip_fw is unchanged, and as a
consequence you don't need to recompile ipfw if you don't want to
use this feature), since this was also useful for -STABLE.
When, at some point, someone decides to change struct ip_fw, please
add a length field and a version number at the beginning, so userland
apps can keep working even if they are out of sync with the kernel.
respectively logging and dropping ICMP REDIRECT packets.
Note that there is no rate limiting on the log messages, so log_redirect
should be used with caution (preferrably only for debugging purposes).
_or_ you may specify "log logamount number" to set logging specifically
the rule.
In addition, "ipfw resetlog" has been added, which will reset the
logging counters on any/all rule(s). ipfw resetlog does not affect
the packet/byte counters (as ipfw reset does), and is the only "set"
command that can be run at securelevel >= 3.
This should address complaints about not being able to set logging
amounts, not being able to restart logging at a high securelevel,
and not being able to just reset logging without resetting all of the
counters in a rule.
would make a difference. However, my previous diff _did_ change the
behavior in some way (not necessarily break it), so I'm fixing it.

If we don't, in_pcbrehash() is called without a preceeding

There are apparently several conditions that could cause the crash;

This is the change to struct sockets that gets rid of so_uid and replaces
it with a much more useful struct pcred *so_cred. This is here to be able
to do socket-level credential checks (i.e. IPFW uid/gid support, to be added
to HEAD soon). Along with this comes an update to pidentd which greatly
simplifies the code necessary to get a uid from a socket. Soon to come:
a sysctl() interface to finding individual sockets' credentials.
to either enqueue or free their mbuf chains, but tcp_usr_send() was
dropping them on the floor if the tcpcb/inpcb has been torn down in the
middle of a send/write attempt. This has been responsible for a wide
variety of mbuf leak patterns, ranging from slow gradual leakage to rather
rapid exhaustion. This has been a problem since before 2.2 was branched
and appears to have been fixed in rev 1.16 and lost in 1.23/1.28.
Thanks to Jayanth Vijayaraghavan <jayanth@yahoo-inc.com> for checking
(extensively) into this on a live production 2.2.x system and that it
was the actual cause of the leak and looks like it fixes it. The machine
in question was loosing (from memory) about 150 mbufs per hour under
load and a change similar to this stopped it. (Don't blame Jayanth
for this patch though)
An alternative approach to this would be to recheck SS_CANTSENDMORE etc
inside the splnet() right before calling pru_send() after all the potential
sleeps, interrupts and delays have happened. However, this would mean
exposing knowledge of the tcp stack's reset handling and removal of the
pcb to the generic code. There are other things that call pru_send()
directly though.

The cdevsw_add() function now finds the major number(s) in the
struct cdevsw passed to it. cdevsw_add_generic() is no longer
needed, cdevsw_add() does the same thing.
cdevsw_add() will print an message if the d_maj field looks bogus.
Remove nblkdev and nchrdev variables. Most places they were used
bogusly. Instead check a dev_t for validity by seeing if devsw()
or bdevsw() returns NULL.
Move bdevsw() and devsw() functions to kern/kern_conf.c
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 400006
This commit removes:
72 bogus makedev() calls
26 bogus SYSINIT functions
if_xe.c bogusly accessed cdevsw[], author/maintainer please fix.
I4b and vinum not changed. Patches emailed to authors. LINT
probably broken until they catch up.
Reformat and initialize correctly all "struct cdevsw".
Initialize the d_maj and d_bmaj fields.
The d_reset field was not removed, although it is never used.
I used a program to do most of this, so all the files now use the
same consistent format. Please keep it that way.
Vinum and i4b not modified, patches emailed to respective authors.

the standard case by locking the MTU on a static route (including the
default route), this method doesn't work in the face of dynamic routing
protocols like gated.
+ add a missing call to dn_rule_delete() when flushing firewall
rules, thus preventing possible panics due to dangling pointers
(this was already done for single rule deletes).
+ improve "usage" output in ipfw(8)
+ add a few checks to ipfw pipe parameters and make it a bit more
tolerant of common mistakes (such as specifying kbit instead of Kbit)
