by bde, a few other tweaks to get the patch to apply cleanly again and
some improvements to the comments.
This change closes some fairly minor security holes associated with
F_SETOWN, fixes a few bugs, and removes some limitations that F_SETOWN
had on tty devices. For more details, see the description on the PR.
Because this patch increases the size of the proc and pgrp structures,
it is necessary to re-install the includes and recompile libkvm,
the vinum lkm, fstat, gcore, gdb, ipfilter, ps, top, and w.

FreeBSD repository version of this file and the isdn4bsd version,
adopt those changes from the i4b version that make this file
BSD-version independent. I attempted to avoid uglifying this file too
much, thus deviated a little from the i4b version (and hope they will
adopt the changes, too).
The diffs mostly concentrate on:
. #include differences between the systems
. different callout handling between FreeBSD vs. Net/OpenBSD
. interface naming (Net/OpenBSD store the ASCII name including the
unit # in struct ifnet, FreeBSD only the name)
. use of random() in FreeBSD vs. time-based pseudo-randomization in
Net/OpenBSD (for loopback detection ad CHAP challenges -- i
assume at least OpenBSD could also benefit from random(), but that's
the way i've got this file)
. interface address list elements are named a little differently
between FreeBSD and Net/OpenBSD
I attempted to segregate those compat fixes from other code fixes and
enhancements.

another specialized mbuf type in the process. Also clean up some
of the cruft surrounding IPFW, multicast routing, RSVP, and other
ill-explored corners.
ioctl() routine at the end of if_delmulti() so that interfaces with
hardware multicast filtering can update their filters in a timely
manner.
If the interface doesn't support hardware multicast filtering, then
reception of multicast frames is done using 'promiscious mode' or
'capture all multicast frames' mode and software filtering in the
kernel. In this case, it doesn't matter if if_delmulti() ever does
an SCIODELMULTI on the interface or not: if MULTICAST support is
enabled, then we join the 'all hosts' group when the interface is
configured, and remain in it until the interface is brought down.
Without hardware filtering, joining one group means joining all
groups, so it makes no difference if we call the SIOCDELMULTI
routine.
If the interface does support hardware multicast filtering, then
by not reprogramming the hardware filter in if_delmulti(), we have
to wait until somebody calls if_setmulti(), during which time the
interface is receiving frames for multicast groups in which we are
no longer interested.
several new features are added:
- support vc/vp shaping
- support pvc shadow interface
code cleanup:
- remove WMAYBE related code. ENI WMAYBE DMA doen't work.
- remove updating if_lastchange for every packet.
- BPF related code is moved to midway.c as it should be.
(bpfwrite should work if atm_pseudohdr and LLC/SNAP are
prepended.)
- BPF link type is changed to DLT_ATM_RFC1483.
BPF now understands only LLC/SNAP!! (because bpf can't
handle variable link header length.)
It is recommended to use LLC/SNAP instead of NULL
encapsulation for various reasons. (BPF, IPv6,
interoperability, etc.)
the code has been used for months in ALTQ and KAME IPv6.

respectively. Most of the longs should probably have been
u_longs, but this changes is just to prevent warnings about
casts between pointers and integers of different sizes, not
to fix poorly chosen types.
sizeof(struct bpf_hdr) > 20. 20 is normal on 32-bit systems with
32-bit alignment, but we still assume that the last 2 bytes of the
struct are unnecessary padding on such systems. On systems with
64-bit longs, struct timeval is bloated to 16 bytes, so bpf headers
certainly don't fit in 18 bytes.
Remove lots'o'hacks.
looutput is now static.
Other callers who want to use loopback to allow shortcutting
should call the special entrypoint for this, if_simloop(), which is
specifically designed for this purpose. Using looutput for this purpose
was problematic, particularly with bpf and trying to keep track
of whether one should be using the charateristics of the loopback interface
or the interface (e.g. if_ethersubr.c) that was requesting the loopback.
There was a whole class of errors due to this mis-use each of which had
hacks to cover them up.
Consists largly of hack removal :-)
FreeBSD/alpha. The most significant item is to change the command
argument to ioctl functions from int to u_long. This change brings us
inline with various other BSD versions. Driver writers may like to
use (__FreeBSD_version == 300003) to detect this change.
The prototype FreeBSD/alpha machdep will follow in a couple of days
time.
NetBSD, ported to FreeBSD by Pierre Beyssac <pb@fasterix.freenix.org> and
minorly tweaked by me.
This is a standard part of FreeBSD, but must be enabled with:
"sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fastforwarding=1" ...and of course forwarding must
also be enabled. This should probably be modified to use the zone
allocator for speed and space efficiency. The current algorithm also
appears to lose if the number of active paths exceeds IPFLOW_MAX (256),
in which case it wastes lots of time trying to figure out which cache
entry to drop.
