semicolons from the end of macros:
#define FOO() bar(a,b,c);
becomes
#define FOO() bar(a,b,c)
Thus requiring the semicolon in the invocation of FOO. This is much
cleaner syntax and more consistent with expectations when writing
function-like things in source.
With both peril-sensitive sunglasses and flame-proof undies on, tighten
up some types, and work around some warnings generated by this. There
are some _horrible_ const/non-const issues in this code.
This represents the original standardization of the following functions
and headers:
popen()
<regex.h>: regcomp(), regexec(), regerror(), regfree()
<fnmatch.h>: fnmatch()
getopt(), optarg, optind, opterr, optopt
<glob.h>: glob()
<wordexp.h>: wordexp(), wordfree()
confstr()
and a cluster in one shot.
o Introduce MBP_PERSIST and MBP_PERSISTENT control bits to mb_alloc();
MBP_PERSIST means "if you can allocate, then keep the cache lock
held on exit," and MBP_PERSISTENT means "a cache lock is alredy held
on entry, so allocate from the specified (already locked) cache."
They may be used in combination.
o m_getcl() uses the MBP_PERSIST/MBP_PERSISTENT interface so that it
doesn't drop the cache lock in between the mbuf and cluster allocations.
o m_getm(), which takes a size and allocates an mbuf + cluster "best fit"
chain, has been moved from uipc_mbuf.c to subr_mbuf.c and shown how to
use MBP_PERSIST/MBP_PERSISTENT to attempt to do a grouped allocation
without dropping the cache lock in between.
Why this is good: much less bus-locked lock acquires/drops when they're
not needed. Also, prototype for m_getcl():
struct mbuf * m_getcl(int how, short type, int flags);
"how" and "type" are self-explanatory. "flags" may be M_PKTHDR, in
which case m_getcl() will make the mbuf a pkthdr-mbuf.
While I'm in subr_mbuf.c:
o Every exported routine now has a nice comment with a description of
the expected arguments. Eventually, mbuf(9) needs to be re-vamped
but there's still more code to write/finalize before I get to that.
o internal macros have been changed a bit.
o consistently use 'short' for "type." This somehow slipped through
before (that 'type' was sometimes declared as int).
Alfred has been pushing for the MBP_PERSIST{,ENT} thing for almost a
year now. Luigi asked for m_getcl(), and will probably MFC that
part of this commit.
TODO [Related]: teach mb_free() about MBP_PERSIST{, ENT}.
because the previous interface handle gets freed when the config
number is set. This fixes a problem where memory could be accessed
after it was freed when the interface was ifconfig'd up.

one out of a block cipher. This has 2 advantages:
1) The code is _much_ simpler
2) We aren't committing our security to one algorithm (much as we
may think we trust AES).
While I'm here, make an explicit reseed do a slow reseed instead
of a fast; this is in line with what the original paper suggested.
just because you leave your session idle.
Also, put in a fix for 64-bit architectures (to be revised).
In detail:
ip_fw.h
* Reorder fields in struct ip_fw to avoid alignment problems on
64-bit machines. This only masks the problem, I am still not
sure whether I am doing something wrong in the code or there
is a problem elsewhere (e.g. different aligmnent of structures
between userland and kernel because of pragmas etc.)
* added fields in dyn_rule to store ack numbers, so we can
generate keepalives when the dynamic rule is about to expire
ip_fw2.c
* use a local function, send_pkt(), to generate TCP RST for Reset rules;
* save about 250 bytes by cleaning up the various snprintf()
in ipfw_log() ...
* ... and use twice as many bytes to implement keepalives
(this seems to be working, but i have not tested it extensively).
Keepalives are generated once every 5 seconds for the last 20 seconds
of the lifetime of a dynamic rule for an established TCP flow. The
packets are sent to both sides, so if at least one of the endpoints
is responding, the timeout is refreshed and the rule will not expire.
You can disable this feature with
sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_keepalive=0
(the default is 1, to have them enabled).
MFC after: 1 day
(just kidding... I will supply an updated version of ipfw2 for
RELENG_4 tomorrow).
