56b61ca27a Remove ifq_drops from struct ifqueue. Now queue drops are accounted in
struct ifnet if_oqdrops.

Some netgraph modules used ifqueue w/o ifnet. Accounting of queue drops
is simply removed from them. There were no API to read this statistic.

4f8585e021 Revisions 264905 and 266860 added a "int fib" argument to ifa_ifwithnet and
ifa_ifwithdstaddr. For the sake of backwards compatibility, the new
arguments were added to new functions named ifa_ifwithnet_fib and
ifa_ifwithdstaddr_fib, while the old functions became wrappers around the
new ones that passed RT_ALL_FIBS for the fib argument. However, the
backwards compatibility is not desired for FreeBSD 11, because there are
numerous other incompatible changes to the ifnet(9) API. We therefore
decided to remove it from head but leave it in place for stable/9 and
stable/10. In addition, this commit adds the fib argument to
ifa_ifwithbroadaddr for consistency's sake.

e6485f73de o Remove struct if_data from struct ifnet. Now it is merely API structure
for route(4) socket and ifmib(4) sysctl.
o Move fields from if_data to ifnet, but keep all statistic counters
  separate, since they should disappear later.
o Provide function if_data_copy() to fill if_data, utilize it in routing
  socket and ifmib handler.
o Provide overridable ifnet(9) method to fetch counters. If no provided,
  if_get_counters_compat() would be used, that returns old counters.

2f308a343f Fix unintended KBI change from r264905. Add _fib versions of

_fib() versions with RT_ALL_FIBS, preserving legacy behavior.

	Improve the udp_dontroute test.  The bug that this test exercises is
	that ifa_ifwithnet() will return the wrong address, if multiple
	interfaces have addresses on the same subnet but with different
	fibs.  The previous version of the test only considered one possible
	failure mode: that ifa_ifwithnet_fib() might fail to find any
	suitable address at all.  The new version also checks whether
	ifa_ifwithnet_fib() finds the correct address by checking where the
	ARP request goes.

3deb3649d5 Fix incorrect netmasks being passed via rtsock.
Since radix has been ignoring sa_family in passed sockaddrs,
no one ever has bothered filling valid sa_family in netmasks.
Additionally, radix adjusts sa_len field in every netmask not to
compare zero bytes at all.

This leads us to rt_mask with sa_family of AF_UNSPEC (-1) and
arbitrary sa_len field (0 for default route, for example).

However, rtsock have been passing that rt_mask intact for ages,
requiring all rtsock consumers to make ther own local hacks.
We even have unfixed on in base:

do `route -n monitor` in one window and issue `route -n get addr`
for some directly-connected address. You will probably see the following:

0cfee0c223 Fix subnet and default routes on different FIBs on the same subnet.
These two bugs are closely related.  The root cause is that ifa_ifwithnet
does not consider FIBs when searching for an interface address.

sys/net/if_var.h
sys/net/if.c
	Add a fib argument to ifa_ifwithnet and ifa_ifwithdstadddr.  Those
	functions will only return an address whose interface fib equals the
	argument.

sys/net/route.c
	Update calls to ifa_ifwithnet and ifa_ifwithdstaddr with fib
	arguments.

sys/netinet/in.c
	Update in_addprefix to consider the interface fib when adding
	prefixes.  This will prevent it from not adding a subnet route when
	one already exists on a different fib.

sys/net/rtsock.c
sys/netinet/in_pcb.c
sys/netinet/ip_output.c
sys/netinet/ip_options.c
sys/netinet6/nd6.c
	Add RT_DEFAULT_FIB arguments to ifa_ifwithdstaddr and ifa_ifwithnet.
	In some cases it there wasn't a clear specific fib number to use.
	In others, I was unable to test those functions so I chose
	RT_DEFAULT_FIB to minimize divergence from current behavior.  I will
	fix some of the latter changes along with PR kern/187553.

tests/sys/netinet/fibs_test.sh
tests/sys/netinet/udp_dontroute.c
tests/sys/netinet/Makefile
	Revert r263738.  The udp_dontroute test was right all along.
	However, bugs kern/187550 and kern/187553 cancelled each other out
	when it came to this test.  Because of kern/187553, ifa_ifwithnet
	searched the default fib instead of the requested one, but because
	of kern/187550, there was an applicable subnet route on the default
	fib.  The new test added in r263738 doesn't work right, however.  I
	can verify with dtrace that ifa_ifwithnet returned the wrong address
	before I applied this commit, but route(8) miraculously found the
	correct interface to use anyway.  I don't know how.

	Clear expected failure messages for kern/187550 and kern/187552.

2c284d9395 Remove IPX support.
IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.

Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.

b245f96c44 Since 32-bit if_baudrate isn't enough to describe a baud rate of a 10 Gbit
interface, in the r241616 a crutch was provided. It didn't work well, and
finally we decided that it is time to break ABI and simply make if_baudrate
a 64-bit value. Meanwhile, the entire struct if_data was reviewed.

o Remove the if_baudrate_pf crutch.

o Make all fields of struct if_data fixed machine independent size. The
  notion of data (packet counters, etc) are by no means MD. And it is a
  bug that on amd64 we've got a 64-bit counters, while on i386 32-bit,
  which at modern speeds overflow within a second.

  This also removes quite a lot of COMPAT_FREEBSD32 code.

o Give 16 bit for the ifi_datalen field. This field was provided to
  make future changes to if_data less ABI breaking. Unfortunately the
  8 bit size of it had effectively limited sizeof if_data to 256 bytes.

o Give 32 bits to ifi_mtu and ifi_metric.
o Give 64 bits to the rest of fields, since they are counters.

__FreeBSD_version bumped.

d375edc9b5 Simplify inet alias handling code: if we're adding/removing alias which

Pinned RTM_DELETE for prefix (for alias withdrawal).

Sending both RTM_ADD/RTM_DELETE messages to rtsock is completely wrong
(and requires some hacks to keep prefix in route table on RTM_DELETE).

I've tested this change with quagga (no change) and bird (*).

bird alias handling is already broken in *BSD sysdep code, so nothing
changes here, too.

I'm going to MFC this change if there will be no complains about behavior
change.

via sysctl(4) interface. This permits router not to stop forwarding
packets while route table is being written to user-supplied buffer.

6d076ae8f7 Introduce a new NET_RT_IFLISTL API to query the address list. It works
on extended and extensible structs if_msghdrl and ifa_msghdrl.  This
will allow us to extend both the msghdrl structs and eventually if_data
in the future without breaking the ABI.

Bump __FreeBSD_version to allow ports to more easily detect the new API.

e82cf13bfb Backout changes from r228571. Remove if_data from struct ifa_msghdr again.
While this breaks carp on HEAD temporary, it restores the upgrade path from
stable, and head before 20111215.

08b68b0e4c A major overhaul of the CARP implementation. The ip_carp.c was started
from scratch, copying needed functionality from the old implemenation
on demand, with a thorough review of all code. The main change is that
interface layer has been removed from the CARP. Now redundant addresses
are configured exactly on the interfaces, they run on.

The CARP configuration itself is, as before, configured and read via
SIOCSVH/SIOCGVH ioctls. A new prefix created with SIOCAIFADDR or
SIOCAIFADDR_IN6 may now be configured to a particular virtual host id,
which makes the prefix redundant.

ifconfig(8) semantics has been changed too: now one doesn't need
to clone carpXX interface, he/she should directly configure a vhid
on a Ethernet interface.

To supply vhid data from the kernel to an application the getifaddrs(8)
function had been changed to pass ifam_data with each address. [1]

The new implementation definitely closes all PRs related to carp(4)
being an interface, and may close several others. It also allows
to run a single redundant IP per interface.

Big thanks to Bjoern Zeeb for his help with inet6 part of patch, for
idea on using ifam_data and for several rounds of reviewing!

6472ac3d8a Mark all SYSCTL_NODEs static that have no corresponding SYSCTL_DECLs.
The SYSCTL_NODE macro defines a list that stores all child-elements of
that node. If there's no SYSCTL_DECL macro anywhere else, there's no
reason why it shouldn't be static.
