as possible for the syncache_add() case. The syncache timer no longer
aquires the tcpinfo lock and timeout/retransmit runs can happen in
parallel with bucket granularity.
On a P4 the additional locks cause a slight degression of 0.7% in tcp
connections per second. When IP and TCP input are deserialized and
can run in parallel this little overhead can be neglected. The syncookie
handling still leaves room for improvement and its random salts may be
moved to the syncache bucket head structures to remove the second lock
operation currently required for it. However this would be a more
involved change from the way syncookies work at the moment.

pru_abort(), pru_detach(), and in_pcbdetach():
- Universally support and enforce the invariant that so_pcb is
never NULL, converting dozens of unnecessary NULL checks into
assertions, and eliminating dozens of unnecessary error handling
cases in protocol code.
- In some cases, eliminate unnecessary pcbinfo locking, as it is no
longer required to ensure so_pcb != NULL. For example, the receive
code no longer requires the pcbinfo lock, and the send code only
requires it if building a new connection on an otherwise unconnected
socket triggered via sendto() with an address. This should
significnatly reduce tcbinfo lock contention in the receive and send
cases.
- In order to support the invariant that so_pcb != NULL, it is now
necessary for the TCP code to not discard the tcpcb any time a
connection is dropped, but instead leave the tcpcb until the socket
is shutdown. This case is handled by setting INP_DROPPED, to
substitute for using a NULL so_pcb to indicate that the connection
has been dropped. This requires the inpcb lock, but not the pcbinfo
lock.
- Unlike all other protocols in the tree, TCP may need to retain access
to the socket after the file descriptor has been closed. Set
SS_PROTOREF in tcp_detach() in order to prevent the socket from being
freed, and add a flag, INP_SOCKREF, so that the TCP code knows whether
or not it needs to free the socket when the connection finally does
close. The typical case where this occurs is if close() is called on
a TCP socket before all sent data in the send socket buffer has been
transmitted or acknowledged. If INP_SOCKREF is found when the
connection is dropped, we release the inpcb, tcpcb, and socket instead
of flagging INP_DROPPED.
- Abort and detach protocol switch methods no longer return failures,
nor attempt to free sockets, as the socket layer does this.
- Annotate the existence of a long-standing race in the TCP timer code,
in which timers are stopped but not drained when the socket is freed,
as waiting for drain may lead to deadlocks, or have to occur in a
context where waiting is not permitted. This race has been handled
by testing to see if the tcpcb pointer in the inpcb is NULL (and vice
versa), which is not normally permitted, but may be true of a inpcb
and tcpcb have been freed. Add a counter to test how often this race
has actually occurred, and a large comment for each instance where
we compare potentially freed memory with NULL. This will have to be
fixed in the near future, but requires is to further address how to
handle the timer shutdown shutdown issue.
- Several TCP calls no longer potentially free the passed inpcb/tcpcb,
so no longer need to return a pointer to indicate whether the argument
passed in is still valid.
- Un-macroize debugging and locking setup for various protocol switch
methods for TCP, as it lead to more obscurity, and as locking becomes
more customized to the methods, offers less benefit.
- Assert copyright on tcp_usrreq.c due to significant modifications that
have been made as part of this work.

and preserves the ipfw ABI. The ipfw core packet inspection and filtering
functions have not been changed, only how ipfw is invoked is different.
However there are many changes how ipfw is and its add-on's are handled:
In general ipfw is now called through the PFIL_HOOKS and most associated
magic, that was in ip_input() or ip_output() previously, is now done in
ipfw_check_[in|out]() in the ipfw PFIL handler.
IPDIVERT is entirely handled within the ipfw PFIL handlers. A packet to
be diverted is checked if it is fragmented, if yes, ip_reass() gets in for
reassembly. If not, or all fragments arrived and the packet is complete,
divert_packet is called directly. For 'tee' no reassembly attempt is made
and a copy of the packet is sent to the divert socket unmodified. The
original packet continues its way through ip_input/output().
ipfw 'forward' is done via m_tag's. The ipfw PFIL handlers tag the packet
with the new destination sockaddr_in. A check if the new destination is a
local IP address is made and the m_flags are set appropriately. ip_input()
and ip_output() have some more work to do here. For ip_input() the m_flags
are checked and a packet for us is directly sent to the 'ours' section for
further processing. Destination changes on the input path are only tagged
and the 'srcrt' flag to ip_forward() is set to disable destination checks
and ICMP replies at this stage. The tag is going to be handled on output.
ip_output() again checks for m_flags and the 'ours' tag. If found, the
packet will be dropped back to the IP netisr where it is going to be picked
up by ip_input() again and the directly sent to the 'ours' section. When
only the destination changes, the route's 'dst' is overwritten with the
new destination from the forward m_tag. Then it jumps back at the route
lookup again and skips the firewall check because it has been marked with
M_SKIP_FIREWALL. ipfw 'forward' has to be compiled into the kernel with
'option IPFIREWALL_FORWARD' to enable it.
DUMMYNET is entirely handled within the ipfw PFIL handlers. A packet for
a dummynet pipe or queue is directly sent to dummynet_io(). Dummynet will
then inject it back into ip_input/ip_output() after it has served its time.
Dummynet packets are tagged and will continue from the next rule when they
hit the ipfw PFIL handlers again after re-injection.
BRIDGING and IPFW_ETHER are not changed yet and use ipfw_chk() directly as
they did before. Later this will be changed to dedicated ETHER PFIL_HOOKS.

flags relating to several aspects of socket functionality. This change
breaks out several bits relating to send and receive operation into a
new per-socket buffer field, sb_state, in order to facilitate locking.
This is required because, in order to provide more granular locking of
sockets, different state fields have different locking properties. The
following fields are moved to sb_state:
SS_CANTRCVMORE (so_state)
SS_CANTSENDMORE (so_state)
SS_RCVATMARK (so_state)
Rename respectively to:
SBS_CANTRCVMORE (so_rcv.sb_state)
SBS_CANTSENDMORE (so_snd.sb_state)
SBS_RCVATMARK (so_rcv.sb_state)
This facilitates locking by isolating fields to be located with other
identically locked fields, and permits greater granularity in socket
locking by avoiding storing fields with different locking semantics in
the same short (avoiding locking conflicts). In the future, we may
wish to coallesce sb_state and sb_flags; for the time being I leave
them separate and there is no additional memory overhead due to the
packing/alignment of shorts in the socket buffer structure.

This is the first of two commits; bringing in the kernel support first.
This can be enabled by compiling a kernel with options TCP_SIGNATURE
and FAST_IPSEC.
For the uninitiated, this is a TCP option which provides for a means of
authenticating TCP sessions which came into being before IPSEC. It is
still relevant today, however, as it is used by many commercial router
vendors, particularly with BGP, and as such has become a requirement for
interconnect at many major Internet points of presence.
Several parts of the TCP and IP headers, including the segment payload,
are digested with MD5, including a shared secret. The PF_KEY interface
is used to manage the secrets using security associations in the SADB.
There is a limitation here in that as there is no way to map a TCP flow
per-port back to an SPI without polluting tcpcb or using the SPD; the
code to do the latter is unstable at this time. Therefore this code only
supports per-host keying granularity.
Whilst FAST_IPSEC is mutually exclusive with KAME IPSEC (and thus IPv6),
TCP_SIGNATURE applies only to IPv4. For the vast majority of prospective
users of this feature, this will not pose any problem.
This implementation is output-only; that is, the option is honoured when
responding to a host initiating a TCP session, but no effort is made
[yet] to authenticate inbound traffic. This is, however, sufficient to
interwork with Cisco equipment.
Tested with a Cisco 2501 running IOS 12.0(27), and Quagga 0.96.4 with
local patches. Patches for tcpdump to validate TCP-MD5 sessions are also

resource exhaustion attacks.
For network link optimization TCP can adjust its MSS and thus
packet size according to the observed path MTU. This is done
dynamically based on feedback from the remote host and network
components along the packet path. This information can be
abused to pretend an extremely low path MTU.
The resource exhaustion works in two ways:
o during tcp connection setup the advertized local MSS is
exchanged between the endpoints. The remote endpoint can
set this arbitrarily low (except for a minimum MTU of 64
octets enforced in the BSD code). When the local host is
sending data it is forced to send many small IP packets
instead of a large one.
For example instead of the normal TCP payload size of 1448
it forces TCP payload size of 12 (MTU 64) and thus we have
a 120 times increase in workload and packets. On fast links
this quickly saturates the local CPU and may also hit pps
processing limites of network components along the path.
This type of attack is particularly effective for servers
where the attacker can download large files (WWW and FTP).
We mitigate it by enforcing a minimum MTU settable by sysctl
net.inet.tcp.minmss defaulting to 256 octets.
o the local host is reveiving data on a TCP connection from
the remote host. The local host has no control over the
packet size the remote host is sending. The remote host
may chose to do what is described in the first attack and
send the data in packets with an TCP payload of at least
one byte. For each packet the tcp_input() function will
be entered, the packet is processed and a sowakeup() is
signalled to the connected process.
For example an attack with 2 Mbit/s gives 4716 packets per
second and the same amount of sowakeup()s to the process
(and context switches).
This type of attack is particularly effective for servers
where the attacker can upload large amounts of data.
Normally this is the case with WWW server where large POSTs
can be made.
We mitigate this by calculating the average MSS payload per
second. If it goes below 'net.inet.tcp.minmss' and the pps
rate is above 'net.inet.tcp.minmssoverload' defaulting to
1000 this particular TCP connection is resetted and dropped.

It caches measured parameters of past tcp sessions to provide better
initial start values for following connections from or to the same
source or destination. Depending on the network parameters to/from
the remote host this can lead to significant speedups for new tcp
connections after the first one because they inherit and shortcut
the learning curve.
tcp_hostcache is designed for multiple concurrent access in SMP
environments with high contention and is hash indexed by remote

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.

sure that the MAC label on TCP responses during TIMEWAIT is
properly set from either the socket (if available), or the mbuf
that it's responding to.
Unfortunately, this is made somewhat difficult by the TCP code,
as tcp_twstart() calls tcp_twrespond() after discarding the socket
but without a reference to the mbuf that causes the "response".
Passing both the socket and the mbuf works arounds this--eventually
it might be good to make sure the mbuf always gets passed in in
"response" scenarios but working through this provided to

timestamped TCP packets where FreeBSD will send DATA+FIN and
A W2K box will ack just the DATA portion. If this occurs
after FreeBSD has done a (NewReno) fast-retransmit and is
recovering it (dupacks > threshold) it triggers a case in
tcp_newreno_partial_ack() (tcp_newreno() in stable) where
tcp_output() is called with the expectation that the retransmit
timer will be reloaded. But tcp_output() falls through and
returns without doing anything, causing the persist timer to be
loaded instead. This causes the connection to hang until W2K gives up.
This occurs because in the case where only the FIN must be acked, the
'len' calculation in tcp_output() will be 0, a lot of checks will be
skipped, and the FIN check will also be skipped because it is designed
to handle FIN retransmits, not forced transmits from tcp_newreno().
The solution is to simply set TF_ACKNOW before calling tcp_output()
to absolute guarentee that it will run the send code and reset the
retransmit timer. TF_ACKNOW is already used for this purpose in other
cases.
For some unknown reason this patch also seems to greatly reduce
the number of duplicate acks received when Guido runs his tests over
a lossy network. It is quite possible that there are other
tcp_newreno{_partial_ack()} cases which were not generating the expected
output which this patch also fixes.

Windows 2000 box and a FreeBSD box could stall. The problem turned out
to be a timestamp reply bug in the W2K TCP stack. FreeBSD sends a
timestamp with the SYN, W2K returns a timestamp of 0 in the SYN+ACK
causing FreeBSD to calculate an insane SRTT and RTT, resulting in
a maximal retransmit timeout (60 seconds). If there is any packet
loss on the connection for the first six or so packets the retransmit
case may be hit (the window will still be too small for fast-retransmit),
causing a 60+ second pause. The W2K box gives up and closes the
connection.
This commit works around the W2K bug.

MAC policies cannot influence the PCB matching algorithm, so cannot
implement polyinstantiation. Note that there is at least one case
where a PCB is not available due to the TCP packet not being associated
with any socket, so we don't label in that case, but need to handle
it in a special manner.

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

NOTES:

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
