queue so the output network card must support the same tagging mechanism as
how the frame was input (prepended Ethernet header tag or stripped HW mflag).
Now the vlan Ethernet header is _always_ stripped in ether_input and the mbuf
flagged, only only network cards with VLAN_HWTAGGING enabled would properly
re-tag any outgoing vlan frames.
If the outgoing interface does not support hardware tagging then readd the vlan
header to the front of the frame. Move the common vlan encapsulation in to
ether_vlanencap().

This can help to spot bugs (which it did for me,)
and let people know which mode the vlan module is
actually using if they suspect it isn't picking its
options from the main kernel config file.
- ifv_list member of struct ifvlan is unneeded in array mode,
it's used only in hash mode to resolve hash collisions.
- We don't need the list of trunks at all. (The initial reason for
having it was to be able to destroy all trunks in the MOD_UNLOAD
handler, but a trunk is not to be destroyed forcibly -- it will
go away when all vlan interfaces on it have been deleted.
Note that if_clone_detach() called first of all under MOD_UNLOAD
will delete all vlan interfaces and thus make all trunks go away
quietly.)
- It's enough to use a single [S]LIST_FIRST() in a typical list
destruction loop.
- Micro-optimize the addition of an 802.1q header to match the removal code.
- Consistently check for interfaces being up and running.
- Consistently use NULL instead of 0 with pointers.
m_pkthdr.ether_vlan. The presence of the M_VLANTAG flag on the mbuf
signifies the presence and validity of its content.
Drivers that support hardware VLAN tag stripping fill in the received
VLAN tag (containing both vlan and priority information) into the
ether_vtag mbuf packet header field:
m->m_pkthdr.ether_vtag = vlan_id; /* ntohs()? */
m->m_flags |= M_VLANTAG;
to mark the packet m with the specified VLAN tag.
On output the driver should check the mbuf for the M_VLANTAG flag to
see if a VLAN tag is present and valid:
if (m->m_flags & M_VLANTAG) {
... = m->m_pkthdr.ether_vtag; /* htons()? */
... pass tag to hardware ...
}
VLAN tags are stored in host byte order. Byte swapping may be necessary.
(Note: This driver conversion was mechanic and did not add or remove any
byte swapping in the drivers.)
Remove zone_mtag_vlan UMA zone and MTAG_VLAN definition. No more tag
memory allocation have to be done.

interface, do not just assign -1 to tag because it breaks the logic of
the code to follow. The better way is to handle this case as an unsupported
protocol and return unless INVARIANTS is in effect and we can panic.
Panic is good there because the scenario can happen only because of a
coding error elsewhere.
We also should show the interface name in the panic message for easier
debugging of the problem, should it ever emerge.

as it tried to solve:
- it smuggled hidden 802.1q details into otherwise protocol-neutral code;
- it put an important code consistency check under DEBUG, which was never
defined by anyone but a developer hacking this file for the moment;
- lastly, the former bcopy() call had been correct as long as the "dead"
code was there.
(A new version of the fix for tag of -1 to come in the next commit.)

vlan tag processing, the code will use bcopy() to remove the vlan
tag field but the code copies 2 bytes too many, which essentially
overwrites the protocol type field.
Also, a tag value of -1 is generated for unrecognized interface type,
which would cause an invalid memory access in the vlans[] array.
In addition, removed a line of dead code and its associated comments.

In order to be able to call vlan_unconfig() on a detached

beginning and simply refuse to attach to a parent without either
flag.
Our network stack cannot handle well IFF_BROADCAST or IFF_MULTICAST
on an interface changing on the fly. E.g., IP will or won't assign
a broadcast address to an interface and join the all-hosts multicast
group on it depending on its IFF_BROADCAST and IFF_MULTICAST settings.
Should the flags alter later, IP will miss the change and keep using
bogus settings. This can lead to evil things like supplying an
invalid broadcast address or trying to leave a multicast group that
hasn't been joined. So just avoid touching the flags since an
interface was created. This has no practical purpose.

work by yar, thompsa and myself. The checksum offloading part also involves
work done by Mihail Balikov.
The most important changes:
o Instead of global linked list of all vlan softc use a per-trunk
hash. The size of hash is dynamically adjusted, depending on
number of entries. This changes struct ifnet, replacing counter
of vlans with a pointer to trunk structure. This change is an
improvement for setups with big number of VLANs, several interfaces
and several CPUs. It is a small regression for a setup with a single
VLAN interface.
An alternative to dynamic hash is a per-trunk static array with
4096 entries, which is a compile time option - VLAN_ARRAY. In my
experiments the array is not an improvement, probably because such
a big trunk structure doesn't fit into CPU cache.
o Introduce an UMA zone for VLAN tags. Since drivers depend on it,
the zone is declared in kern_mbuf.c, not in optional vlan(4) driver.
This change is a big improvement for any setup utilizing vlan(4).
o Use rwlock(9) instead of mutex(9) for locking. We are the first
ones to do this! :)
o Some drivers can do hardware VLAN tagging + hardware checksum
offloading. Add an infrastructure for this. Whenever vlan(4) is
attached to a parent or parent configuration is changed, the flags
on vlan(4) interface are updated.

struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
