When using lagg failover mode neither Gratuitous ARP (IPv4) or Unsolicited
Neighbour Advertisements (IPv6) are sent to notify other nodes that the
address may have moved.
This results is slow failover, dropped packets and network outages for the
lagg interface when the primary link goes down.
We now use the new if_link_state_change_cond with the force param set to
allow lagg to force through link state changes and hence fire a
ifnet_link_event which are now monitored by rip and nd6.
Upon receiving these events each protocol trigger the relevant
notifications:
* inet4 => Gratuitous ARP
* inet6 => Unsolicited Neighbour Announce
This also fixes the carp IPv6 NA's that stopped working after r251584 which
added the ipv6_route__llma route.
The new behavour can be controlled using the sysctls:
* net.link.ether.inet.arp_on_link
* net.inet6.icmp6.nd6_on_link
Also removed unused param from lagg_port_state and added descriptions for the
sysctls while here.

Before r291643, adding new interface prefix had the following logic:
try_add:
EEXIST && (PINNED) {
try_del(w/o PINNED flag)
if (OK)
try_add(PINNED)
}
In r291643, deletion was performed w/ PINNED flag held which leaded
to new interface prefixes (like ::1) overriding older ones.
Fix this by requesting deletion w/o RTF_PINNED.

LLE structure is mostly unchanged during its lifecycle: there are only 2
things relevant for fast path lookup code:
1) link-level address change. Since r286722, these updates are performed
under AFDATA WLOCK.
2) Some sort of feedback indicating that this particular entry is used so
we send NS to perform reachability verification instead of expiring entry.
The only signal that is needed from fast path is something like binary
yes/no.
The latter is solved by the following changes:
Special r_skip_req (introduced in D3688) value is used for fast path feedback.
It is read lockless by fast path, but updated under req_mutex mutex. If this
field is non-zero, then fast path will acquire lock and set it back to 0.
After transitioning to STALE state, callout timer is armed to run each
V_nd6_delay seconds to make sure that if packet was transmitted at the start
of given interval, we would be able to switch to PROBE state in V_nd6_delay
seconds as user expects.
(in STALE state) timer is rescheduled until original V_nd6_gctimer expires
keeping lle in STALE state (remaining timer value stored in lle_remtime).
(in STALE state) timer is rescheduled if packet was transmitted less that
V_nd6_delay seconds ago to make sure we transition to PROBE state exactly
after V_n6_delay seconds.
As a result, all packets towards lle in REACHABLE/STALE/PROBE states are handled
by fast path without acquiring lle read lock.

Vast majority of rtalloc(9) users require only basic info from
route table (e.g. "does the rtentry interface match with the interface
I have?". "what is the MTU?", "Give me the IPv4 source address to use",
etc..).
Instead of hand-rolling lookups, checking if rtentry is up, valid,
dealing with IPv6 mtu, finding "address" ifp (almost never done right),
provide easy-to-use API hiding all the complexity and returning the
needed info into small on-stack structure.
This change also helps hiding route subsystem internals (locking, direct
rtentry accesses).
Additionaly, using this API improves lookup performance since rtentry is not
locked.
(This is safe, since all the rtentry changes happens under both radix WLOCK
and rtentry WLOCK).

LLE structure is mostly unchanged during its lifecycle.
To be more specific, there are 2 things relevant for fast path
lookup code:
1) link-level address change. Since r286722, these updates are performed
under AFDATA WLOCK.
2) Some sort of feedback indicating that this particular entry is used so
we re-send arp request to perform reachability verification instead of
expiring entry. The only signal that is needed from fast path is something
like binary yes/no.
The latter is solved by the following changes:
1) introduce special r_skip_req field which is read lockless by fast path,
but updated under (new) req_mutex mutex. If this field is non-zero, then
fast path will acquire lock and set it back to 0.
2) introduce simple state machine: incomplete->reachable<->verify->deleted.
Before that we implicitely had incomplete->reachable->deleted state machine,
with V_arpt_keep between "reachable" and "deleted". Verification was performed
in runtime 5 seconds before V_arpt_keep expire.
This is changed to "change state to verify 5 seconds before V_arpt_keep,
set r_skip_req to non-zero value and check it every second". If the value
is zero - then send arp verification probe.
These changes do not introduce any signifficant control plane overhead:
typically lle callout timer would fire 1 time more each V_arpt_keep (1200s)
for used lles and up to arp_maxtries (5) for dead lles.
As a result, all packets towards "reachable" lle are handled by fast path without
acquiring lle read lock.
Additional "req_mutex" is needed because callout / arpresolve_slow() or eventhandler
might keep LLE lock for signifficant amount of time, which might not be feasible
for fast path locking (e.g. having rmlock as ether AFDATA or lltable own lock).

In certain configurations (mostly but not exclusively as a VM on Xen) pf
produced packets with an invalid TCP checksum.
The problem was that pf could only handle packets with a full checksum. The
FreeBSD IP stack produces TCP packets with a pseudo-header checksum (only
addresses, length and protocol).
Certain network interfaces expect to see the pseudo-header checksum, so they
end up producing packets with invalid checksums.
To fix this stop calculating the full checksum and teach pf to only update TCP
checksums if TSO is disabled or the change affects the pseudo-header checksum.

Problem description:
How do we currently perform layer 2 resolution and header imposition:
For IPv4 we have the following chain:
ip_output() -> (ether|atm|whatever)_output() -> arpresolve()
Lookup is done in proper place (link-layer output routine) and it is possible
to provide cached lle data.
For IPv6 situation is more complex:
ip6_output() -> nd6_output() -> nd6_output_ifp() -> (whatever)_output() ->
nd6_storelladdr()
We have ip6_ouput() which calls nd6_output() instead of link output routine.
nd6_output() does the following:
* checks if lle exists, creates it if needed (similar to arpresolve())
* performes lle state transitions (similar to arpresolve())
* calls nd6_output_ifp() which pushes packets to link output routine along
with running SeND/MAC hooks regardless of lle state
(e.g. works as run-hooks placeholder).
After that, iface output routine like ether_output() calls nd6_storelladdr()
which performs lle lookup once again.
As a result, we perform lookup twice for each outgoing packet for most types
of interfaces. We also need to maintain runtime-checked table of 'nd6-free'
interfaces (see nd6_need_cache()).
Fix this behavior by eliminating first ND lookup. To be more specific:
* make all nd6_output() consumers use nd6_output_ifp() instead
* rename nd6_output[_slow]() to nd6_resolve_[slow]()
* convert nd6_resolve() and nd6_resolve_slow() to arpresolve() semantics,
e.g. copy L2 address to buffer instead of pushing packet towards lower
layers
* Make all nd6_storelladdr() users use nd6_resolve()
* eliminate nd6_storelladdr()
The resulting callchain is the following:
ip6_output() -> nd6_output_ifp() -> (whatever)_output() -> nd6_resolve()
Error handling:
Currently sending packet to non-existing la results in ip6_<output|forward>
-> nd6_output() -> nd6_output _lle() which returns 0.
In new scenario packet is propagated to <ether|whatever>_output() ->
nd6_resolve() which will return EWOULDBLOCK, and that result
will be converted to 0.
(And EWOULDBLOCK is actually used by IB/TOE code).

On receipt of a redirect message, install an interface route for the

entry, remove the interface route.
This requires changes in rtredirect_fib() to cope with an AF_LINK

To make driver programming easier the TSO limits are changed to
reflect the values used in the BUSDMA tag a network adapter driver is
using. The TCP/IP network stack will subtract space for all linklevel
and protocol level headers and ensure that the full mbuf chain passed
to the network adapter fits within the given limits.
Implementation notes:
If a network adapter driver needs to fixup the first mbuf in order to
support VLAN tag insertion, the size of the VLAN tag should be
subtracted from the TSO limit. Else not.
Network adapters which typically inline the complete header mbuf could
technically transmit one more segment. This patch does not implement a
mechanism to recover the last segment for data transmission. It is
believed when sufficiently large mbuf clusters are used, the segment
limit will not be reached and recovering the last segment will not
have any effect.
The current TSO algorithm tries to send MTU-sized packets, where the
MTU typically is 1500 bytes, which gives 1448 bytes of TCP data
payload per packet for IPv4. That means if the TSO length limitiation
is set to 65536 bytes, there will be a data payload remainder of
(65536 - 1500) mod 1448 bytes which is equal to 324 bytes. Trying to
recover total TSO length due to inlining mbuf header data will not
have any effect, because adding or removing the ETH/IP/TCP headers
to or from 324 bytes will not cause more or less TCP payload to be
TSO'ed.
Existing network adapter limits will be updated separately.
