them mostly with packet tags (one case is handled by using an mbuf flag
since the linkage between "caller" and "callee" is direct and there's no
need to incur the overhead of a packet tag).

Quote from kern/37573:
There is an obvious race in netinet/ip_dummynet.c:config_pipe().
Interrupts are not blocked when changing the params of an
existing pipe. The specific crash observed:
... -> config_pipe -> set_fs_parms -> config_red
malloc a new w_q_lookup table but take an interrupt before
intializing it, interrupt handler does:
... -> dummynet_io -> red_drops
red_drops dereferences the uninitialized (zeroed) w_q_lookup
table.
o Flush accumulated credits for idle pipes.
o Flush accumulated credits when change pipe characteristics.
o Change dn_flow_queue.numbytes type to unsigned long.
Overlapping dn_flow_queue->numbytes in ready_event() leads to
numbytes becomes negative and SET_TICKS() macro returns a very
big value. heap_insert() overlaps dn_key again and inserts a
queue to a ready heap with a sched_time points to the past.
That leads to an "infinity" loop.

MFC after: 6 weeks
When a pipe or queue has the "noerror" attribute, do not report
drops to the caller (ip_output() and friends).
(2 lines to implement it, 2 lines to document it.)
This will let you simulate losses on the sender side as if they
happened in the middle of the network, i.e. with no explicit feedback
to the sender.
manpage and ipfw2.c changes to follow shortly, together with other
ipfw2 changes.

packet forwarding state ("annotations") during ip processing.
The code is considerably cleaner now.
The variables removed by this change are:
ip_divert_cookie used by divert sockets
ip_fw_fwd_addr used for transparent ip redirection
last_pkt used by dynamic pipes in dummynet
Removal of the first two has been done by carrying the annotations
into volatile structs prepended to the mbuf chains, and adding
appropriate code to add/remove annotations in the routines which
make use of them, i.e. ip_input(), ip_output(), tcp_input(),
bdg_forward(), ether_demux(), ether_output_frame(), div_output().
On passing, remove a bug in divert handling of fragmented packet.
Now it is the fragment at offset 0 which sets the divert status of
the whole packet, whereas formerly it was the last incoming fragment
to decide.
Removal of last_pkt required a change in the interface of ip_fw_chk()
and dummynet_io(). On passing, use the same mechanism for dummynet
annotations and for divert/forward annotations.
option IPFIREWALL_FORWARD is effectively useless, the code to
implement it is very small and is now in by default to avoid the
obfuscation of conditionally compiled code.
NOTES:
* there is at least one global variable left, sro_fwd, in ip_output().
I am not sure if/how this can be removed.
* I have deliberately avoided gratuitous style changes in this commit
to avoid cluttering the diffs. Minor stule cleanup will likely be
necessary
* this commit only focused on the IP layer. I am sure there is a
number of global variables used in the TCP and maybe UDP stack.
* despite the number of files touched, there are absolutely no API's
or data structures changed by this commit (except the interfaces of
ip_fw_chk() and dummynet_io(), which are internal anyways), so
an MFC is quite safe and unintrusive (and desirable, given the
improved readability of the code).

Ipfw processing of frames at layer 2 can be enabled by the sysctl variable
net.link.ether.ipfw=1
Consider this feature experimental, because right now, the firewall
is invoked in the places indicated below, and controlled by the
sysctl variables listed on the right. As a consequence, a packet
can be filtered from 1 to 4 times depending on the path it follows,
which might make a ruleset a bit hard to follow.
I will add an ipfw option to tell if we want a given rule to apply
to ether_demux() and ether_output_frame(), but we have run out of
flags in the struct ip_fw so i need to think a bit on how to implement
this.

+ implement "limit" rules, which permit to limit the number of sessions
between certain host pairs (according to masks). These are a special
type of stateful rules, which might be of interest in some cases.
See the ipfw manpage for details.
+ merge the list pointers and ipfw rule descriptors in the kernel, so
the code is smaller, faster and more readable. This patch basically
consists in replacing "foo->rule->bar" with "rule->bar" all over
the place.
I have been willing to do this for ages!

now you can dynamically create rate-limited queues for different
flows using masks on dst/src IP, port and protocols.
Read the ipfw(8) manpage for details and examples.
Restructure the internals of the traffic shaper to use heaps,
so that it manages efficiently large number of queues.
Fix a bug which was present in the previous versions which could
cause, under certain unfrequent conditions, to send out very large
bursts of traffic.
All in all, this new code is much cleaner than the previous one and
should also perform better.

is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free
to use it as they please (but cannot). This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago. More commits to come.
pr_input() routines prototype is also changed to support IPSEC and IPV6
chained protocol headers.

- unifdef -DCOMPAT_IPFW (this was on by default already)
- remove traces of in-kernel ip_nat package, it was never committed.
- Make IPFW and DUMMYNET initialize themselves rather than depend on
compiled-in hooks in ip_init(). This means they initialize the same
way both in-kernel and as kld modules. (IPFW initializes now :-)
