These are global (i.e. shared across vnets) structures, so we need
global lock to protect them. However, we look up entries in these lists
(find_aqm_type(), find_sched_type()) and return them. We must ensure
that the returned structures cannot go away while we are using them.
Resolve this by using NET_EPOCH(). The structures can be safely accessed
under it, and we postpone their cleanup until we're sure they're no
longer used.

This moves dn_cfg and other parameters into per VNET variables.
The taskqueue and control state remains global.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
than removing the network interfaces first. This change is rather larger
and convoluted as the ordering requirements cannot be separated.
Move the pfil(9) framework to SI_SUB_PROTO_PFIL, move Firewalls and
related modules to their own SI_SUB_PROTO_FIREWALL.
Move initialization of "physical" interfaces to SI_SUB_DRIVERS,
move virtual (cloned) interfaces to SI_SUB_PSEUDO.
Move Multicast to SI_SUB_PROTO_MC.
Re-work parts of multicast initialisation and teardown, not taking the
huge amount of memory into account if used as a module yet.
For interface teardown we try to do as many of them as we can on
SI_SUB_INIT_IF, but for some this makes no sense, e.g., when tunnelling
over a higher layer protocol such as IP. In that case the interface
has to go along (or before) the higher layer protocol is shutdown.
Kernel hhooks need to go last on teardown as they may be used at various
higher layers and we cannot remove them before we cleaned up the higher
layers.
For interface teardown there are multiple paths:
(a) a cloned interface is destroyed (inside a VIMAGE or in the base system),
(b) any interface is moved from a virtual network stack to a different
network stack ("vmove"), or (c) a virtual network stack is being shut down.
All code paths go through if_detach_internal() where we, depending on the
vmove flag or the vnet state, make a decision on how much to shut down;
in case we are destroying a VNET the individual protocol layers will
cleanup their own parts thus we cannot do so again for each interface as
we end up with, e.g., double-frees, destroying locks twice or acquiring
already destroyed locks.
When calling into protocol cleanups we equally have to tell them
whether they need to detach upper layer protocols ("ulp") or not
(e.g., in6_ifdetach()).
Provide or enahnce helper functions to do proper cleanup at a protocol
rather than at an interface level.

Implementing AQM in FreeBSD

Overview
Recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in better managing
the depth of bottleneck queues in routers, switches and other places
that get congested. Solutions include transport protocol enhancements
at the end-hosts (such as delay-based or hybrid congestion control
schemes) and active queue management (AQM) schemes applied within
bottleneck queues.
The notion of AQM has been around since at least the late 1990s
(e.g. RFC 2309). In recent years the proliferation of oversized
buffers in all sorts of network devices (aka bufferbloat) has
stimulated keen community interest in four new AQM schemes -- CoDel,
FQ-CoDel, PIE and FQ-PIE.
The IETF AQM working group is looking to document these schemes,
and independent implementations are a corner-stone of the IETF's
process for confirming the clarity of publicly available protocol
descriptions. While significant development work on all three schemes
has occured in the Linux kernel, there is very little in FreeBSD.
Project Goals
This project began in late 2015, and aims to design and implement
functionally-correct versions of CoDel, FQ-CoDel, PIE and FQ_PIE
in FreeBSD (with code BSD-licensed as much as practical). We have
chosen to do this as extensions to FreeBSD's ipfw/dummynet firewall
and traffic shaper. Implementation of these AQM schemes in FreeBSD
will:
* Demonstrate whether the publicly available documentation is
sufficient to enable independent, functionally equivalent implementations
* Provide a broader suite of AQM options for sections the networking
community that rely on FreeBSD platforms

reside, and move there ipfw(4) and pf(4).
o Move most modified parts of pf out of contrib.
Actual movements:
sys/contrib/pf/net/*.c -> sys/netpfil/pf/
sys/contrib/pf/net/*.h -> sys/net/
contrib/pf/pfctl/*.c -> sbin/pfctl
contrib/pf/pfctl/*.h -> sbin/pfctl
contrib/pf/pfctl/pfctl.8 -> sbin/pfctl
contrib/pf/pfctl/*.4 -> share/man/man4
contrib/pf/pfctl/*.5 -> share/man/man5
sys/netinet/ipfw -> sys/netpfil/ipfw
The arguable movement is pf/net/*.h -> sys/net. There are
future plans to refactor pf includes, so I decided not to
break things twice.
Not modified bits of pf left in contrib: authpf, ftp-proxy,
tftp-proxy, pflogd.
The ipfw(4) movement is planned to be merged to stable/9,
to make head and stable match.
