There is a hashing algorithm which should distribute IPv6 reassembly
queues across the available buckets in a relatively even way. However,
if there is a flaw in the hashing algorithm which allows a large number
of IPv6 fragment reassembly queues to end up in a single bucket, a per-
bucket limit could help mitigate the performance impact of this flaw.
Implement such a limit, with a default of twice the maximum number of
reassembly queues divided by the number of buckets. Recalculate the
limit any time the maximum number of reassembly queues changes.
However, allow the user to override the value using a sysctl
(net.inet6.ip6.maxfragbucketsize).

The IPv4 fragment reassembly code supports a limit on the number of
fragments per packet. The default limit is currently 17 fragments.
Among other things, this limit serves to limit the number of fragments
the code must parse when trying to reassembly a packet.
Add a limit to the IPv6 reassembly code. By default, limit a packet
to 65 fragments (64 on the queue, plus one final fragment to complete
the packet). This allows an average fragment size of 1,008 bytes, which
should be sufficient to hold a fragment. (Recall that the IPv6 minimum
MTU is 1280 bytes. Therefore, this configuration allows a full-size
IPv6 packet to be fragmented on a link with the minimum MTU and still
carry approximately 272 bytes of headers before the fragmented portion
of the packet.)
Users can adjust this limit using the net.inet6.ip6.maxfragsperpacket
sysctl.

Security: CVE-2018-6923
The IPv6 reassembly fragment limit is based on the number of mbuf clusters,
which are a global resource. However, the limit is currently applied
on a per-VNET basis. Given enough VNETs (or given sufficient customization
on enough VNETs), it is possible that the sum of all the VNET fragment
limits will exceed the number of mbuf clusters available in the system.
Given the fact that the fragment limits are intended (at least in part) to
regulate access to a global resource, the IPv6 fragment limit should
be applied on a global basis.
Note that it is still possible to disable fragmentation for a particular
VNET by setting the net.inet6.ip6.maxfragpackets sysctl to 0 for that
VNET. In addition, it is now possible to disable fragmentation globally
by setting the net.inet6.ip6.maxfrags sysctl to 0.

The m_ext.ext_cnt pointer becomes a union. It can now hold the refcount

The first mbuf to attach a cluster stores the refcount. The further mbufs

mbuf is freed only when the last reference is freed.
The benefit over refcounts stored in separate slabs is that now refcounts
of different, unrelated mbufs do not share a cache line.
For EXT_EXTREF mbufs the zone_ext_refcnt is no longer needed, and m_extadd()
becomes void, making widely used M_EXTADD macro safe.

This mirrors the basic IPv4 implementation - IPv6 packets under RSS
now are checked for a correct RSS hash and if one isn't provided,
it's done in software.
This only handles the initial receive - it doesn't yet handle
reinjecting / rehashing packets after being decapsulated from
various tunneling setups. That'll come in some follow-up work.
For non-RSS users, this is almost a giant no-op.
It does change a couple of ipv6 methods to use const mbuf * instead of
mbuf * but it doesn't have any functional changes.
So, the following now occurs:
* If the NIC doesn't do any RSS hashing, it's all done in software.
Single-queue, non-RSS NICs will now have the RX path distributed
into multiple receive netisr queues.
* If the NIC provides the wrong hash (eg only IPv6 hash when we needed
an IPv6 TCP hash, or IPv6 UDP hash when we expected IPv6 hash)
then the hash is recalculated.
* .. if the hash is recalculated, it'll end up being injected into
the correct netisr queue for v6 processing.

This mode is added to conform to RFC 6204 (a router which connects

packet forwarding, you still need to set ipv6_gateway_enable=YES.
Note that accepting router entries into the default router list when

- A new per-interface knob IFF_ND6_NO_RADR and sysctl IPV6CTL_NO_RADR.
This controls if accepting a route in an RA message as the default route.
The default value for each interface can be set by net.inet6.ip6.no_radr.
The system wide default value is 0.
- A new sysctl: net.inet6.ip6.norbit_raif. This controls if setting R-bit in
NA on RA accepting interfaces. The default is 0 (R-bit is set based on
net.inet6.ip6.forwarding).
Background:
IPv6 host/router model suggests a router sends an RA and a host accepts it for
router discovery. Because of that, KAME implementation does not allow
accepting RAs when net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1. Accepting RAs on a router can
make the routing table confused since it can change the default router
unintentionally.
However, in practice there are cases where we cannot distinguish a host from
a router clearly. For example, a customer edge router often works as a host
against the ISP, and as a router against the LAN at the same time. Another
example is a complex network configurations like an L2TP tunnel for IPv6
connection to Internet over an Ethernet link with another native IPv6 subnet.
In this case, the physical interface for the native IPv6 subnet works as a
host, and the pseudo-interface for L2TP works as the default IP forwarding
route.
Problem:
Disabling processing RA messages when net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1 and
accepting them when net.inet6.ip6.forward=0 cause the following practical
issues:
- A router cannot perform SLAAC. It becomes a problem if a box has
multiple interfaces and you want to use SLAAC on some of them, for
example. A customer edge router for IPv6 Internet access service
using an IPv6-over-IPv6 tunnel sometimes needs SLAAC on the
physical interface for administration purpose; updating firmware
and so on (link-local addresses can be used there, but GUAs by
SLAAC are often used for scalability).
- When a host has multiple IPv6 interfaces and it receives multiple RAs on
them, controlling the default route is difficult. Router preferences
defined in RFC 4191 works only when the routers on the links are
under your control.
Details of Implementation Changes:
Router Advertisement messages will be accepted even when
net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1. More precisely, the conditions are as
follow:
(ACCEPT_RTADV && !NO_RADR && !ip6.forwarding)
=> Normal RA processing on that interface. (as IPv6 host)
(ACCEPT_RTADV && (NO_RADR || ip6.forwarding))
=> Accept RA but add the router to the defroute list with
rtlifetime=0 unconditionally. This effectively prevents
from setting the received router address as the box's
default route.
(!ACCEPT_RTADV)
=> No RA processing on that interface.
ACCEPT_RTADV and NO_RADR are per-interface knob. In short, all interface
are classified as "RA-accepting" or not. An RA-accepting interface always
processes RA messages regardless of ip6.forwarding. The difference caused by
NO_RADR or ip6.forwarding is whether the RA source address is considered as
the default router or not.
R-bit in NA on the RA accepting interfaces is set based on
net.inet6.ip6.forwarding. While RFC 6204 W-1 rule (for CPE case) suggests
a router should disable the R-bit completely even when the box has
net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1, I believe there is no technical reason with
doing so. This behavior can be set by a new sysctl net.inet6.ip6.norbit_raif
(the default is 0).
Usage:
# ifconfig fxp0 inet6 accept_rtadv
=> accept RA on fxp0
# ifconfig fxp0 inet6 accept_rtadv no_radr
=> accept RA on fxp0 but ignore default route information in it.
# sysctl net.inet6.ip6.norbit_no_radr=1
=> R-bit in NAs on RA accepting interfaces will always be set to 0.
In protosw we define pr_protocol as short, while on the wire
it is an uint8_t. That way we can have "internal" protocols
like DIVERT, SEND or gaps for modules (PROTO_SPACER).
Switch ipproto_{un,}register to accept a short protocol number(*)
and do an upfront check for valid boundries. With this we
also consistently report EPROTONOSUPPORT for out of bounds
protocols, as we did for proto == 0. This allows a caller
to not error for this case, which is especially important
if we want to automatically call these from domain handling.
(*) the functions have been without any in-tree consumer
since the initial introducation, so this is considered save.

network stack memory allocator. Modify vnet to use the allocator
instead of monolithic global container structures (vinet, ...). This
change solves many binary compatibility problems associated with
VIMAGE, and restores ELF symbols for virtualized global variables.
Each virtualized global variable exists as a "reference copy", and also
once per virtual network stack. Virtualized global variables are
tagged at compile-time, placing the in a special linker set, which is
loaded into a contiguous region of kernel memory. Virtualized global
variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules
are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet
region with the help of a the kernel linker.
Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the
network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from
the reference copy. Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which
converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet
address. When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal
global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided.
This change restores static initialization for network stack global
variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates
the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem
structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for
monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the
per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the
need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate
