in /etc/fstab. This isn't a real fix though and I'm still not sure
why it started failing. mount(8) breaks up the nfs args into seperate
repeated '-o option=value' arguments. But, the altflags variable that
we use to track things is incrementally built up each time we see the
next option and shows us the cumulative set of flags, not just the
flag that we are currently looking at. As a result, the strstr hack
for looking up flags in a giant -o opt=val,opt=val, etc string was failing
and causing a segfault. I do not know what changed recently that caused
this to suddenly break, but the code has been rather bogus for some time.
Also, for all interfaces in this mode pass all ethernet frames to upper layer,

Valuable suggestions by: fenner
following Julian's good suggestion: since you can specify any match
pattern as an option, rules now have the following format:
[<proto> from <src> to <dst>] [options]
i.e. the first part is now entirely optional (and left there just
for compatibility with ipfw1 rulesets).
Add a "-c" flag to show/list rules in the compact form
(i.e. without the "ip from any to any" part) when possible.
The default is to include it so that scripts processing ipfw's
canonical output will still work.
Note that as part of this cleanup (and to remove ambiguity), MAC
fields now can only be specified in the options part.
Update the manpage to reflect the syntax.
Clarify the behaviour when a match is attempted on fields which
are not present in the packet, e.g. port numbers on non TCP/UDP
packets, and the "not" operator is specified. E.g.
ipfw add allow not src-port 80
will match also ICMP packets because they do not have port numbers, so
"src-port 80" will fail and "not src-port 80" will succeed. For such
cases it is advised to insert further options to prevent undesired results
(e.g. in the case above, "ipfw add allow proto tcp not src-port 80").
We definitely need to rewrite the parser using lex and yacc!
render the syntax less ambiguous.
Now rules can be in one of these two forms
<action> <protocol> from <src> to <dst> [options]
<action> MAC dst-mac src-mac mac-type [options]
however you can now specify MAC and IP header fields as options e.g.
ipfw add allow all from any to any mac-type arp
ipfw add allow all from any to any { dst-ip me or src-ip me }
which makes complex expressions a lot easier to write and parse.
The "all from any to any" part is there just for backward compatibility.
Manpage updated accordingly.
noting that the restrictions do not apply if the user invoking the
program is also the owner of the program.
Also, capitalize a section header properly.

This is just a preliminary commit, where i simply added the basic

things in alphabetical rather than random order).
I would appreciate feedback and possible corrections/extensions
by interested parties.
Still missing are a more detailed description of stateful rules

that!), examples of use with the recently introduced rule sets.
There is an issue related to the MFC: RELENG_4 still has ipfw as a
default, and ipfw2 is optional. We have two options here: MFC this
page as ipfw(8) adding a large number of "SORRY NOT IN IPFW" notes,
or create a new ipfw2(8) manpage just for -stable users. I am all
for the first approach, but of course am listening to your comments.
The bugfix (ipfw2.c) makes the handling of port numbers with
a dash in the name, e.g. ftp-data, consistent with old ipfw:
use \\ before the - to consider it as part of the name and not
a range separator.
The new feature (all this description will go in the manpage):
each rule now belongs to one of 32 different sets, which can
be optionally specified in the following form:
ipfw add 100 set 23 allow ip from any to any
If "set N" is not specified, the rule belongs to set 0.
Individual sets can be disabled, enabled, and deleted with the commands:
ipfw disable set N
ipfw enable set N
ipfw delete set N
Enabling/disabling of a set is atomic. Rules belonging to a disabled
set are skipped during packet matching, and they are not listed
unless you use the '-S' flag in the show/list commands.
Note that dynamic rules, once created, are always active until
they expire or their parent rule is deleted.
Set 31 is reserved for the default rule and cannot be disabled.
All sets are enabled by default. The enable/disable status of the sets
can be shown with the command
ipfw show sets
Hopefully, this feature will make life easier to those who want to
have atomic ruleset addition/deletion/tests. Examples:
To add a set of rules atomically:
ipfw disable set 18
ipfw add ... set 18 ... # repeat as needed
ipfw enable set 18
To delete a set of rules atomically
ipfw disable set 18
ipfw delete set 18
ipfw enable set 18
To test a ruleset and disable it and regain control if something
goes wrong:
ipfw disable set 18
ipfw add ... set 18 ... # repeat as needed
ipfw enable set 18 ; echo "done "; sleep 30 && ipfw disable set 18
here if everything goes well, you press control-C before
the "sleep" terminates, and your ruleset will be left
active. Otherwise, e.g. if you cannot access your box,
the ruleset will be disabled after the sleep terminates.
I think there is only one more thing that one might want, namely
a command to assign all rules in set X to set Y, so one can
test a ruleset using the above mechanisms, and once it is
considered acceptable, make it part of an existing ruleset.
gcc memcpy "knows" about types that are supposed to be actually already
aligned and triggers alignment errors doing the memcpy itself.
"Fix" this by changing it to a bcopy(). In this case, we had:
struct timeval *tp;
struct timeval tv1;
memcpy(&tv1,tp,sizeof(tv1));
.. and since gcc *knows* that a pointer to a timeval is longword aligned
and that tv1 is longword aligned, then it can use an inline that assumes
alignment. The following works too:
cp = (char *)tp;
memcpy(&tv1,cp,sizeof(tv1));
Simply casting (char *)tp for the memcpy doesn't work. :-(
This affected different 64 bit platforms in different ways and depends

This code makes use of variable-size kernel representation of rules
(exactly the same concept of BPF instructions, as used in the BSDI's
firewall), which makes firewall operation a lot faster, and the
code more readable and easier to extend and debug.
The interface with the rest of the system is unchanged, as witnessed
by this commit. The only extra kernel files that I am touching
are if_fw.h and ip_dummynet.c, which is quite tied to ipfw. In
userland I only had to touch those programs which manipulate the
internal representation of firewall rules).
The code is almost entirely new (and I believe I have written the
vast majority of those sections which were taken from the former
ip_fw.c), so rather than modifying the old ip_fw.c I decided to
create a new file, sys/netinet/ip_fw2.c . Same for the user
interface, which is in sbin/ipfw/ipfw2.c (it still compiles to
/sbin/ipfw). The old files are still there, and will be removed
in due time.
I have not renamed the header file because it would have required
touching a one-line change to a number of kernel files.
In terms of user interface, the new "ipfw" is supposed to accepts
the old syntax for ipfw rules (and produce the same output with
"ipfw show". Only a couple of the old options (out of some 30 of
them) has not been implemented, but they will be soon.
On the other hand, the new code has some very powerful extensions.
First, you can put "or" connectives between match fields (and soon
also between options), and write things like
ipfw add allow ip from { 1.2.3.4/27 or 5.6.7.8/30 } 10-23,25,1024-3000 to any
This should make rulesets slightly more compact (and lines longer!),
by condensing 2 or more of the old rules into single ones.
Also, as an example of how easy the rules can be extended, I have
implemented an 'address set' match pattern, where you can specify
an IP address in a format like this:
10.20.30.0/26{18,44,33,22,9}
which will match the set of hosts listed in braces belonging to the
subnet 10.20.30.0/26 . The match is done using a bitmap, so it is
essentially a constant time operation requiring a handful of CPU
instructions (and a very small amount of memmory -- for a full /24
subnet, the instruction only consumes 40 bytes).
Again, in this commit I have focused on functionality and tried
to minimize changes to the other parts of the system. Some performance
improvement can be achieved with minor changes to the interface of
ip_fw_chk_t. This will be done later when this code is settled.
The code is meant to compile unmodified on RELENG_4 (once the
PACKET_TAG_* changes have been merged), for this reason
you will see #ifdef __FreeBSD_version in a couple of places.
This should minimize errors when (hopefully soon) it will be time
to do the MFC.

filesystem expands the inode to 256 bytes to make space for 64-bit
block pointers. It also adds a file-creation time field, an ability
to use jumbo blocks per inode to allow extent like pointer density,
and space for extended attributes (up to twice the filesystem block
size worth of attributes, e.g., on a 16K filesystem, there is space
for 32K of attributes). UFS2 fully supports and runs existing UFS1
filesystems. New filesystems built using newfs can be built in either
UFS1 or UFS2 format using the -O option. In this commit UFS1 is
the default format, so if you want to build UFS2 format filesystems,
you must specify -O 2. This default will be changed to UFS2 when
UFS2 proves itself to be stable. In this commit the boot code for
reading UFS2 filesystems is not compiled (see /sys/boot/common/ufsread.c)
as there is insufficient space in the boot block. Once the size of the
boot block is increased, this code can be defined.
