problem here still to be solved: the sockaddr_hci has still a 16 byte
field for the node name. The code currently does not correctly use the
length field in the sockaddr to handle the address length, so
node names get truncated to 15 characters when put into a sockaddr_hci.
introducing a START_NOW command. This command does not send
and GET_IFINDEX message downstream (to wait for the response from
the ETHERNET node), but directly starts the sending process. This allows
one to generate traffic as input for any hook on any node.
a new bpf_mtap2 routine that does the right thing for an mbuf
and a variable-length chunk of data that should be prepended.
o while we're sweeping the drivers, use u_int32_t uniformly when
when prepending the address family (several places were assuming
sizeof(int) was 4)
o return M_ASSERTVALID to BPF_MTAP* now that all stack-allocated
mbufs have been eliminated; this may better be moved to the bpf
routines

which means "always stay in the standard mode of PPPoE operation
regardless of any junk floating around."
As the referenced PR stated clearly, the old default setting of 0
was extremely dangerous because it opened a possibility for a
spurious frame not only to put down a single PPPoE node running
FreeBSD, but to plague *every* FreeBSD node in a PPPoE network in
such a way that those nodes would keep poisoning each other until
rebooted simultaneously.

nonstandard. They differ in the values of certain fields in
the PPPoE frame. Previously, ng_pppoe would start in standard
mode, yet switch to nonstandard one upon reception of a single
nonstandard frame. After having done so, ng_pppoe would be unable
to interact with standard PPPoE peers. Thus, a DoS condition
existed that could be triggered by a buggy peer or malicious party.
Since few people have expressed their displeasure WRT this problem,
the default operation of ng_pppoe is left untouched for now. However,
a new value for the sysctl net.graph.nonstandard_pppoe is introduced,
-1, which will force ng_pppoe stay in standard mode regardless of any
bogus frames floating around.

In practice it seems that in situations of high packet loss the ACK
timeout seems to hit this maximum (perhaps inappropriately, but the
estimation algorithm is not perfect, so apparently it happens). In
any case, 10 seconds is way too high a value so lower to 1 second.

the MAC label referenced from 'struct socket' in the IPv4 and
IPv6-based protocols. This permits MAC labels to be checked during
network delivery operations without dereferencing inp->inp_socket
to get to so->so_label, which will eventually avoid our having to
grab the socket lock during delivery at the network layer.
This change introduces 'struct inpcb' as a labeled object to the
MAC Framework, along with the normal circus of entry points:
initialization, creation from socket, destruction, as well as a
delivery access control check.
For most policies, the inpcb label will simply be a cache of the
socket label, so a new protocol switch method is introduced,
pr_sosetlabel() to notify protocols that the socket layer label
has been updated so that the cache can be updated while holding
appropriate locks. Most protocols implement this using
pru_sosetlabel_null(), but IPv4/IPv6 protocols using inpcbs use
the the worker function in_pcbsosetlabel(), which calls into the
MAC Framework to perform a cache update.
Biba, LOMAC, and MLS implement these entry points, as do the stub
policy, and test policy.

The fact that some of the USB code needs to include <sys/vnode.h>
