filtering mechanisms to use the new rwlock(9) locking API:
- Drop the variables stored in the phil_head structure which were specific to
conditions and the home rolled read/write locking mechanism.
- Drop some includes which were used for condition variables
- Drop the inline functions, and convert them to macros. Also, move these
macros into pfil.h
- Move pfil list locking macros intp phil.h as well
- Rename ph_busy_count to ph_nhooks. This variable will represent the number
of IN/OUT hooks registered with the pfil head structure
- Define PFIL_HOOKED macro which evaluates to true if there are any
hooks to be ran by pfil_run_hooks
- In the IP/IP6 stacks, change the ph_busy_count comparison to use the new
PFIL_HOOKED macro.
- Drop optimization in pfil_run_hooks which checks to see if there are any
hooks to be ran, and returns if not. This check is already performed by the
IP stacks when they call:
if (!PFIL_HOOKED(ph))
goto skip_hooks;
- Drop in assertion which makes sure that the number of hooks never drops
below 0 for good measure. This in theory should never happen, and if it
does than there are problems somewhere
- Drop special logic around PFIL_WAITOK because rw_wlock(9) does not sleep
- Drop variables which support home rolled read/write locking mechanism from
the IPFW firewall chain structure.
- Swap out the read/write firewall chain lock internal to use the rwlock(9)
API instead of our home rolled version
- Convert the inlined functions to macros

- most of the kernel code will not care about the actual encoding of
scope zone IDs and won't touch "s6_addr16[1]" directly.
- similarly, most of the kernel code will not care about link-local
scoped addresses as a special case.
- scope boundary check will be stricter. For example, the current
*BSD code allows a packet with src=::1 and dst=(some global IPv6
address) to be sent outside of the node, if the application do:
s = socket(AF_INET6);
bind(s, "::1");
sendto(s, some_global_IPv6_addr);
This is clearly wrong, since ::1 is only meaningful within a single
node, but the current implementation of the *BSD kernel cannot
reject this attempt.

struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

Discussed extensively with KAME. The API author's intent isn't clear at this

passing along socket information. This is required to work around a LOR with
the socket code which results in an easy reproducible hard lockup with
debug.mpsafenet=1. This commit does *not* fix the LOR, but enables us to do
so later. The missing piece is to turn the filter locking into a leaf lock
and will follow in a seperate (later) commit.
This will hopefully be MT5'ed in order to fix the problem for RELENG_5 in
forseeable future.

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.
