FreeBSD/alpha. The most significant item is to change the command
argument to ioctl functions from int to u_long. This change brings us
inline with various other BSD versions. Driver writers may like to
use (__FreeBSD_version == 300003) to detect this change.
The prototype FreeBSD/alpha machdep will follow in a couple of days
time.
NetBSD, ported to FreeBSD by Pierre Beyssac <pb@fasterix.freenix.org> and
minorly tweaked by me.
This is a standard part of FreeBSD, but must be enabled with:
"sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fastforwarding=1" ...and of course forwarding must
also be enabled. This should probably be modified to use the zone
allocator for speed and space efficiency. The current algorithm also
appears to lose if the number of active paths exceeds IPFLOW_MAX (256),
in which case it wastes lots of time trying to figure out which cache
entry to drop.
This commit includes the following changes:
1) Old-style (pr_usrreq()) protocols are no longer supported, the compatibility
glue for them is deleted, and the kernel will panic on boot if any are compiled
in.
2) Certain protocol entry points are modified to take a process structure,
so they they can easily tell whether or not it is possible to sleep, and
also to access credentials.
3) SS_PRIV is no more, and with it goes the SO_PRIVSTATE setsockopt()
call. Protocols should use the process pointer they are now passed.
4) The PF_LOCAL and PF_ROUTE families have been updated to use the new
style, as has the `raw' skeleton family.
5) PF_LOCAL sockets now obey the process's umask when creating a socket
in the filesystem.
As a result, LINT is now broken. I'm hoping that some enterprising hacker
with a bit more time will either make the broken bits work (should be
easy for netipx) or dike them out.
pr_usrreqs. Collapse duplicates with udp_usrreq.c and
tcp_usrreq.c (calling the generic routines in uipc_socket2.c and
in_pcb.c). Calling sockaddr()_ or peeraddr() on a detached
socket now traps, rather than harmlessly returning an error; this
should never happen. Allow the raw IP buffer sizes to be
controlled via sysctl.
is administratively downed, all routes to that interface (including the
interface route itself) which are not static will be deleted. When
it comes back up, and addresses remaining will have their interface routes
re-added. This solves the problem where, for example, an Ethernet interface
is downed by traffic continues to flow by way of ARP entries.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
previous hackery involving struct in_ifaddr and arpcom. Get rid of the
abominable multi_kludge. Update all network interfaces to use the
new machanism. Distressingly few Ethernet drivers program the multicast
filter properly (assuming the hardware has one, which it usually does).
to TAILQs. Fix places which referenced these for no good reason
that I can see (the references remain, but were fixed to compile
again; they are still questionable).
in.c: when an interface address is deleted, keep its multicast membership
. records (attached to a struct multi_kludge) for attachment to the
. next address on the same interface. Also, in_multi structures now
. gain a reference to the ifaddr so that they won't point off into
. freed memory if an interface goes away and doesn't come back before
. the last socket reference drops. This is analogous to how it is
. done for routes, and seems to make the most sense.
to something more recent than the ancient 1.2 release contained in
4.4. This code has the following advantages as compared to
previous versions (culled from the README file for the SunOS release):
- True multicast delivery
- Configurable rate-limiting of forwarded multicast traffic on each
physical interface or tunnel, using a token-bucket limiter.
- Simplistic classification of packets for prioritized dropping.
- Administrative scoping of multicast address ranges.
- Faster detection of hosts leaving groups.
- Support for multicast traceroute (code not yet available).
- Support for RSVP, the Resource Reservation Protocol.
What still needs to be done:
- The multicast forwarder needs testing.
- The multicast routing daemon needs to be ported.
- Network interface drivers need to have the `#ifdef MULTICAST' goop ripped
out of them.
- The IGMP code should probably be bogon-tested.
Some notes about the porting process:
In some cases, the Berkeley people decided to incorporate functionality from
later releases of the multicast code, but then had to do things differently.
As a result, if you look at Deering's patches, and then look at
our code, it is not always obvious whether the patch even applies. Let
the reader beware.
I ran ip_mroute.c through several passes of `unifdef' to get rid of
useless grot, and to permanently enable the RSVP support, which we will
include as standard.

- Delete redundant declarations.
- Add -Wredundant-declarations to Makefile.i386 so they don't come back.
- Delete sloppy COMMON-style declarations of uninitialized data in
header files.
- Add a few prototypes.
- Clean up warnings resulting from the above.
NB: ioconf.c will still generate a redundant-declaration warning, which
is unavoidable unless somebody volunteers to make `config' smarter.
