When we remove an interface it is first removed from the interface list V_ifnet (by if_unlink_ifnet()) and marked as IFF_DYING. We then wait for any possible references to stop being used (i.e. epoch_wait/epoch_drain_callbacks) before we tear it fully down. However, the index in ifindex_table is not removed, so m_rcvif_restore() can still find the (now dying) interface. This results in panics, for example when dummynet restores the rcvif pointer and passes a packet to ip6_input() we can panic because the AF_INET6 domain has already been removed (so we end up dereferencing a NULL pointer there). Check that the interface is not dying before we restore it, which is equivalent to checking its presence in V_ifnet, and thus ensures that future accesses (while in NET_EPOCH) are safe.

FreeBSD Source:
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
