compile option. All FreeBSD packet filters now use the PFIL_HOOKS API and
thus it becomes a standard part of the network stack.
If no hooks are connected the entire packet filter hooks section and related
activities are jumped over. This removes any performance impact if no hooks
are active.
Both OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD have integrated PFIL_HOOKS permanently as well.
have already done this, so I have styled the patch on their work:
1) introduce a ip_newid() static inline function that checks
the sysctl and then decides if it should return a sequential
or random IP ID.
2) named the sysctl net.inet.ip.random_id
3) IPv6 flow IDs and fragment IDs are now always random.
Flow IDs and frag IDs are significantly less common in the
IPv6 world (ie. rarely generated per-packet), so there should
be smaller performance concerns.
The sysctl defaults to 0 (sequential IP IDs).

Wind River. In the IPv4 output path, one of the tests in ip_output()
checks how many slots are actually available in the interface output
queue before attempting to send a packet. If, for example, we need
to transmit a packet of 32K bytes over an interface with an MTU of
1500, we know it's going to take about 21 fragments to do it. If
there's less than 21 slots left in the output queue, there's no point
in transmitting anything at all: IP does not do retransmission, so
sending only some of the fragments would just be a waste of bandwidth.
(In an extreme case, if you're sending a heavy stream of fragmented
packets, you might find yourself sending nothing by the first fragment
of all your packets.) So if ip_output() notices there's not enough
room in the output queue to send the frame, it just dumps the packet
and returns ENOBUFS to the app.
It turns out ip6_output() lacks this code. Consequently, this caused
the netperf UDPIPV6_STREAM test to produce very poor results with large
write sizes. This commit adds code to check the remaining space in the
output queue and junk fragmented packets if they're too big to be
sent, just like with IPv4. (I can't imagine anyone's running an NFS
server using UDP over IPv6, but if they are, this will likely make them
a lot happier. :)
the routing table. Move all usage and references in the tcp stack
from the routing table metrics to the tcp hostcache.
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
ip address.
It removes significant locking requirements from the tcp stack with
regard to the routing table.

that covers updates to the contents. Note this is separate from holding
a reference and/or locking the routing table itself.
Other/related changes:
o rtredirect loses the final parameter by which an rtentry reference
may be returned; this was never used and added unwarranted complexity
for locking.
o minor style cleanups to routing code (e.g. ansi-fy function decls)
o remove the logic to bump the refcnt on the parent of cloned routes,
we assume the parent will remain as long as the clone; doing this avoids
a circularity in locking during delete
o convert some timeouts to MPSAFE callouts
Notes:
1. rt_mtx in struct rtentry is guarded by #ifdef _KERNEL as user-level
applications cannot/do-no know about mutex's. Doing this requires
that the mutex be the last element in the structure. A better solution
is to introduce an externalized version of struct rtentry but this is
a major task because of the intertwining of rtentry and other data
structures that are visible to user applications.
2. There are known LOR's that are expected to go away with forthcoming
work to eliminate many held references. If not these will be resolved
prior to release.
3. ATM changes are untested.

were sometimes propagated using M_COPY_PKTHDR which actually did
something between a "move" and a "copy" operation. This is replaced
by M_MOVE_PKTHDR (which copies the pkthdr contents and "removes" it
from the source mbuf) and m_dup_pkthdr which copies the packet
header contents including any m_tag chain. This corrects numerous
problems whereby mbuf tags could be lost during packet manipulations.
These changes also introduce arguments to m_tag_copy and m_tag_copy_chain
to specify if the tag copy work should potentially block. This
introduces an incompatibility with openbsd which we may want to revisit.
Note that move/dup of packet headers does not handle target mbufs
that have a cluster bound to them. We may want to support this;
for now we watch for it with an assert.
Finally, M_COPYFLAGS was updated to include M_FIRSTFRAG|M_LASTFRAG.

general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.
