5b84dc789a The statically configured (permanent) ARP entries are removed when an
interface is brought down, even though the interface address is still
valid. This patch maintains the permanent ARP entries as long as the
interface address (having the same prefix as that of the ARP entries)
is valid.

e4cd31dd3c - Merge changes to the base system to support OFED. These include
a wider arg2 for sysctl, updates to vlan code, IFT_INFINIBAND,
   and other miscellaneous small features.

962be6dfb3 Use NULL rather than 0 to invalidate a pointer.
Rather than duplicating the LLE_FREE_LOCKED() macro code in LLE_FREE(),
call it directly (like we do for the RT_* macros).

e162ea60d4 Add a queue to hold packets while we await an ARP reply.
When a fast machine first brings up some non TCP networking program
it is quite possible that we will drop packets due to the fact that
only one packet can be held per ARP entry.  This leads to packets
being missed when a program starts or restarts if the ARP data is
not currently in the ARP cache.

This code adds a new sysctl, net.link.ether.inet.maxhold, which defines
a system wide maximum number of packets to be held in each ARP entry.
Up to maxhold packets are queued until an ARP reply is received or
the ARP times out.  The default setting is the old value of 1
which has been part of the BSD networking code since time
immemorial.

Expose the time we hold an incomplete ARP entry by adding
the sysctl net.link.ether.inet.wait, which defaults to 20
seconds, the value used when the new ARP code was added..

fc2bfb3294 lltable_drain() has never been used so far, thus #if 0 it for now.
While touching it add the missing locking to the now disabled code
for the time when we'll resurrect it.

d4121a02c0 - restructure flowtable to support ipv6
- add a name argument to flowtable_alloc for printing with ddb commands
- extend ddb commands to print destination address or 4-tuples
- don't parse ports in ulp header if FL_HASH_ALL is not passed
- add kern_flowtable_insert to enable more generic use of flowtable
  (e.g. system calls for adding entries)
- don't hash loopback addresses
- cleanup whitespace
- keep statistics per-cpu for per-cpu flowtables to avoid cache line contention
- add sysctls to accumulate stats and report aggregate

c7ab66020f The proxy arp entries could not be added into the system over the
IFF_POINTOPOINT link types. The reason was due to the routing
entry returned from the kernel covering the remote end is of an
interface type that does not support ARP. This patch fixes this
problem by providing a hint to the kernel routing code, which
indicates the prefix route instead of the PPP host route should
be returned to the caller. Since a host route to the local end
point is also added into the routing table, and there could be
multiple such instantiations due to multiple PPP links can be
created with the same local end IP address, this patch also fixes
the loopback route installation failure problem observed prior to
this patch. The reference count of loopback route to local end would
be either incremented or decremented. The first instantiation would
create the entry and the last removal would delete the route entry.

dc56e98f0d Use locks specific to the lltable code, rather than borrow the ifnet
list/index locks, to protect link layer address tables.  This avoids
lock order issues during interface teardown, but maintains the bug that
sysctl copy routines may be called while a non-sleepable lock is held.

c9d763bf41 When an interface address is removed and the last prefix
route is also being deleted, the link-layer address table
(arp or nd6) will flush those L2 llinfo entries that match
the removed prefix.
