Forwarded packets passed through PFIL_OUT, which made it difficult for
firewalls to figure out if they were forwarding or producing packets. This in
turn is an issue for pf for IPv6 fragment handling: it needs to call
ip6_output() or ip6_forward() to handle the fragments. Figuring out which was
difficult (and until now, incorrect).
Having pfil distinguish the two removes an ugly piece of code from pf.
Introduce a new variant of the netpfil callbacks with a flags variable, which
has PFIL_FWD set for forwarded packets. This allows pf to reliably work out if
a packet is forwarded.

This macro allocates memory and, if malloc does not return NULL, copies
data into the new memory. However, it doesn't just check whether malloc
returns NULL. It also checks whether we called malloc with M_NOWAIT. That
is not necessary.
While it may be that malloc() will only return NULL when the M_NOWAIT flag
is set, we don't need to check for this when checking malloc's return
value. Further, in this case, the check was not completely accurate,
because it checked for flags == M_NOWAIT, rather than treating it as a bit
field and checking for (flags & M_NOWAIT).

Rename the mtu variable in ip6_fragment(), because mtu is misleading. The
variable actually holds the fragment length.
No functional change.
Suggested by: ae
When forwarding pf tracks the size of the largest fragment in a fragmented
packet, and refragments based on this size.
It failed to ensure that this size was a multiple of 8 (as is required for all
but the last fragment), so it could end up generating incorrect fragments.
For example, if we received an 8 byte and 12 byte fragment pf would emit a first
fragment with 12 bytes of payload and the final fragment would claim to be at
offset 8 (not 12).
We now assert that the fragment size is a multiple of 8 in ip6_fragment(), so
other users won't make the same mistake.

ip_forward, TCP/IPv6, and probably SCTP leaked references to L2 cache
entry because they used their own routes on the stack, not in_pcb routes.
The original model for route caching was callers that provided a route
structure to ip{,6}input() would keep the route, and this model was used
for L2 caching as well. Instead, change L2 caching to be done by default
only when using a route structure in the in_pcb; the pcb deallocation
code frees L2 as well as L3 cacches. A separate change will add route
caching to TCP/IPv6.
Another suggestion was to have the transport protocols indicate willingness
to use L2 caching, but this approach keeps the changes in the network
level

Small summary
-------------
o Almost all IPsec releated code was moved into sys/netipsec.
o New kernel modules added: ipsec.ko and tcpmd5.ko. New kernel
option IPSEC_SUPPORT added. It enables support for loading
and unloading of ipsec.ko and tcpmd5.ko kernel modules.
o IPSEC_NAT_T option was removed. Now NAT-T support is enabled by
default. The UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP_NON_IKE encapsulation type
support was removed. Added TCP/UDP checksum handling for
inbound packets that were decapsulated by transport mode SAs.
setkey(8) modified to show run-time NAT-T configuration of SA.
o New network pseudo interface if_ipsec(4) added. For now it is
build as part of ipsec.ko module (or with IPSEC kernel).
It implements IPsec virtual tunnels to create route-based VPNs.
o The network stack now invokes IPsec functions using special
methods. The only one header file <netipsec/ipsec_support.h>
should be included to declare all the needed things to work
with IPsec.
o All IPsec protocols handlers (ESP/AH/IPCOMP protosw) were removed.
Now these protocols are handled directly via IPsec methods.
o TCP_SIGNATURE support was reworked to be more close to RFC.
o PF_KEY SADB was reworked:
- now all security associations stored in the single SPI namespace,
and all SAs MUST have unique SPI.
- several hash tables added to speed up lookups in SADB.
- SADB now uses rmlock to protect access, and concurrent threads
can do SA lookups in the same time.
- many PF_KEY message handlers were reworked to reflect changes
in SADB.
- SADB_UPDATE message was extended to support new PF_KEY headers:
SADB_X_EXT_NEW_ADDRESS_SRC and SADB_X_EXT_NEW_ADDRESS_DST. They
can be used by IKE daemon to change SA addresses.
o ipsecrequest and secpolicy structures were cardinally changed to
avoid locking protection for ipsecrequest. Now we support
only limited number (4) of bundled SAs, but they are supported
for both INET and INET6.
o INPCB security policy cache was introduced. Each PCB now caches
used security policies to avoid SP lookup for each packet.
o For inbound security policies added the mode, when the kernel does
check for full history of applied IPsec transforms.
o References counting rules for security policies and security
associations were changed. The proper SA locking added into xform
code.
o xform code was also changed. Now it is possible to unregister xforms.
tdb_xxx structures were changed and renamed to reflect changes in
SADB/SPDB, and changed rules for locking and refcounting.

- Add RATELIMIT kernel configuration keyword which must be set to
enable the new functionality.
- Add support for hardware driven, Receive Side Scaling, RSS aware, rate
limited sendqueues and expose the functionality through the already
established SO_MAX_PACING_RATE setsockopt(). The API support rates in
the range from 1 to 4Gbytes/s which are suitable for regular TCP and
UDP streams. The setsockopt(2) manual page has been updated.
- Add rate limit function callback API to "struct ifnet" which supports
the following operations: if_snd_tag_alloc(), if_snd_tag_modify(),
if_snd_tag_query() and if_snd_tag_free().
- Add support to ifconfig to view, set and clear the IFCAP_TXRTLMT
flag, which tells if a network driver supports rate limiting or not.
- This patch also adds support for rate limiting through VLAN and LAGG
intermediate network devices.
- How rate limiting works:
1) The userspace application calls setsockopt() after accepting or
making a new connection to set the rate which is then stored in the
socket structure in the kernel. Later on when packets are transmitted
a check is made in the transmit path for rate changes. A rate change
implies a non-blocking ifp->if_snd_tag_alloc() call will be made to the
destination network interface, which then sets up a custom sendqueue
with the given rate limitation parameter. A "struct m_snd_tag" pointer is
returned which serves as a "snd_tag" hint in the m_pkthdr for the
subsequently transmitted mbufs.
2) When the network driver sees the "m->m_pkthdr.snd_tag" different
from NULL, it will move the packets into a designated rate limited sendqueue
given by the snd_tag pointer. It is up to the individual drivers how the rate
limited traffic will be rate limited.
3) Route changes are detected by the NIC drivers in the ifp->if_transmit()
routine when the ifnet pointer in the incoming snd_tag mismatches the
one of the network interface. The network adapter frees the mbuf and
returns EAGAIN which causes the ip_output() to release and clear the send
tag. Upon next ip_output() a new "snd_tag" will be tried allocated.
4) When the PCB is detached the custom sendqueue will be released by a
non-blocking ifp->if_snd_tag_free() call to the currently bound network
interface.

- Re-write tcp_ctlinput6() to closely mimic the IPv4 tcp_ctlinput()
- Now that tcp_ctlinput6() updates t_maxseg, we can allow ip6_output()
to send TCP packets without looking at the tcp host cache for every
single transmit.
- Make the icmp6 code mimic the IPv4 code & avoid returning
PRC_HOSTDEAD because it is so expensive.
Without these changes in place, every TCP6 pmtu discovery or host
unreachable ICMP resulted in a call to in6_pcbnotify() which walks the
tcbinfo table with the write lock held. Because the tcbinfo table is
shared between IPv4 and IPv6, this causes huge scalabilty issues on
servers with lots of (~100K) TCP connections, to the point where even
a small percent of IPv6 traffic had a disproportionate impact on
overall throughput.

The m_ext.ext_cnt pointer becomes a union. It can now hold the refcount

The first mbuf to attach a cluster stores the refcount. The further mbufs
to reference the cluster point at refcount in the first mbuf. The first
mbuf is freed only when the last reference is freed.
The benefit over refcounts stored in separate slabs is that now refcounts
of different, unrelated mbufs do not share a cache line.
For EXT_EXTREF mbufs the zone_ext_refcnt is no longer needed, and m_extadd()
becomes void, making widely used M_EXTADD macro safe.
For EXT_SFBUF mbufs the sf_ext_ref() is removed, which was an optimization
exactly against the cache aliasing problem with regular refcounting.

Add ro_mtu field to 'struct route' to be able to pass lookup MTU back to
the caller.
Currently, ip6_getpmtu() has 2 totally different use cases:
1) control plane (IPV6_PATHMTU req), where we just need to calculate MTU
and return it, w/o any reusability.
2) Actual ip6_output() data path where we (nearly) always use the provided
route lookup data. If this data is not 'valid' we need to perform another
lookup and save the result (which cannot be re-used by ip6_output()).
Given that, handle 1) by calling separate function doing rte lookup itself.
Resulting MTU is calculated by (newly-added) ip6_calcmtu() used by both
ip6_getpmtu_ctl() and ip6_getpmtu().
For 2) instead of storing ref'ed rte, store mtu (the only needed data
from the lookup result) inside newly-added ro_mtu field.
'struct route' was shrinked by 8(or 4 bytes) in r292978. Grow it again
by 4 bytes. New ro_mtu field will be used in other places like
ip/tcp_output (EMSGSIZE handling from output routines).

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).

- We assume ip6 header inside passed mbuf in ip6_mloopback
When forwarding fragmented IPv6 packets and filtering with PF we
reassemble and refragment. That means we generate new fragment headers
and a new fragment ID.
We already save the fragment IDs so we can do the reassembly so it's
straightforward to apply the incoming fragment ID on the refragmented
packets.

When several threads are trying to send datagram to the same destination,
but fragmentation is disabled and datagram size exceeds link MTU,
ip6_output() calls pfctlinput2(PRC_MSGSIZE). It does notify all
sockets wanted to know MTU to this destination. And since all threads
hold PCB lock while sending, taking the lock for each PCB in the
in6_pcbnotify() leads to deadlock.
RFC 3542 p.11.3 suggests notify all application wanted to receive
IPV6_PATHMTU ancillary data for each ICMPv6 packet too big message.
But it doesn't require this, when we don't receive ICMPv6 message.
Change ip6_notify_pmtu() function to be able use it directly from
ip6_output() to notify only one socket, and to notify all sockets
when ICMPv6 packet too big message received.
