possible for a panic to occur if BPF is in use on the interface at the
time of the call to if_detach. This happens because BPF maintains pointers
to the struct ifnet describing the interface, which is freed by if_detach.
To correct this problem, a new call, bpfdetach, is introduced. bpfdetach
locates BPF descriptor references to the interface, and NULLs them. Other
BPF code is modified so that discovery of a NULL interface results in
ENXIO (already implemented for some calls). Processes blocked on a BPF
call will also be woken up so that they can receive ENXIO.
Interface drivers that invoke bpfattach and if_detach must be modified to
also call bpfattach(ifp) before calling if_detach(ifp). This is relevant
for buses that support hot removal, such as pccard and usb. Patches to
all effected devices will not be committed, only to if_wi.c, due to
testing limitations. To reproduce the crash, load up tcpdump on you
favorite pccard ethernet card, and then eject the card. As some pccard
drivers do not invoke if_detach(ifp), this bug will not manifest itself
for those drivers.

Now most big problem of IPv6 is getting IPv6 address

6to4 solve the problem. 6to4 addr is defined like below,

The most important point of the address format is that an IPv4 addr
is embeded in it. So any user who has IPv4 addr can get IPv6 address

Pleases let me make sure that no one touch the invalid ro_rt pointer,
after splx(s) and before next ro_rt initialization.
Though usually this seems to be already called at splnet,
I still sometime experience kernel crash at rtfree() in my
INET6 enabled environment where IPv6 connection is frequently used.
(Off-course, it might be just due to another bug.)
Packets are received inside USB bulk transfer callbacks, which run at
splusb() (actually splbio()). The packet input queues are meant to be
manipulated at splimp(). However the locking apparently breaks down under
certain circumstances and the input queues can get trampled.
There's a similar problem with if_ppp, which is driven by hardware/tty
interrupts from the serial driver, but which must also manipulate the
packet input queues at splimp(). The fix there is to use a netisr, and
that's the fix I used here. (I can hear you groaning back there. Hush up.)
The usb_ethersubr module maintains a single queue of its own. When a
packet is received in the USB callback routine, it's placed on this
queue with usb_ether_input(). This routine also schedules a soft net
interrupt with schednetisr(). The ISR routine then runs later, at
splnet, outside of the USB callback/interrupt context, and passes the
packet to ether_input(), hopefully in a safe manner.
The reason this is implemented as a separate module is that there are
a limited number of NETISRs that we can use, and snarfing one up for
each driver that needs it is wasteful (there will be three once I get
the CATC driver done). It also reduces code duplication to a certain
small extent. Unfortunately, it also needs to be linked in with the
usb.ko module in order for the USB ethernet drivers to share it.
Also removed some uneeded includes from if_aue.c and if_kue.c

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.

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.
