new constants have SIZ in their name instead of LEN. As soon as all
consumers in the tree are converted to use the new defines the old
defines will be put under BURN_BRIDGES.

Change a prototype.
Add a function version of ng_ref_node() when debugging so
a breakpoint can be set on it.
ng_base.c:
add 'node' as an argument to ng_apply_item so that it is up
to the caller to take over and release the item's reference on
the node. If the release reports back that the node went away
due to the reference going to 0, the caller should cease referencing
the now defunct node. (e.g. the item was a 'kill node' message).
Alter ng_unref_node to report back the residual references as a result.
ng_pptpgre.c:
Don't reference a node after we dropped a reference to it.
(What if it was the last?)
Fixes a node leak reported by Harti Brandt <brandt@fokus.gmd.de>
which was due to an incorrect earlier attempt to fix the
"accessing node after dropping the last reference" problem.
and add a sysctl to pppoe to activate non standard ethertypes
so that idiot ISPs (apparently in France) who use
equipment from idiot suppliers (rumour says 3com)
who use nonstandard ethertypes can still connect.
"yep, sure we do pppoe, we use a different identifier to that dictated in
the standard, but sure it's pppoe!"
sysctl -w net.graph.stupid_isp=1 enables the changeover.
also try implement teh documented behaviour in socket nodes
so that when there is only one hook, an unaddressed write/send
will DTRT and send the data to that hook.
(e.g. ethernet nodes are persistent until you rip out the hardware)
Use this support in the ethernet and sample nodes.
Add some more abstraction on the 'item's so that node and
hook reference counting can be checked easier.
Slight man page correction.
Make pppoe type dependent on ethernet type.
Clean up node shutdown a little.
Move a mutex from MTX_SPIN to MTX_DEF (oops)
Fix small ref-counting bug.
remove warning on one2many type.
from a node, but does it via the locking queue, thus ensuring that the
node is locked when it's hook is removed.
Add 'deadnode' and 'deadhook' structures for when a node or hook is
invalidated but not yet freed. (not yet freed)
This version is functional and is aproaching solid..
notice I said APROACHING. There are many node types I cannot test
I have tested: echo hole ppp socket vjc iface tee bpf async tty
The rest compile and "Look" right. More changes to follow.
DEBUGGING is enabled in this code to help if people have problems.
format version number. (userland programs should not need to be
recompiled when the netgraph kernel internal ABI is changed.
Also fix modules that don;t handle the fact that a caller may not supply
a return message pointer. (benign at the moment because the calling code
checks, but that will change)
This clears out my outstanding netgraph changes.
There is a netgraph change of design in the offing and this is to some
extent a superset of soem of the new functionality and some of the old
functionality that may be removed.
This code works as before, but allows some new features that I want to
work with and evaluate. It is the basis for a version of netgraph
with integral locking for SMP use.
This is running on my test machine with no new problems :-)
is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free
to use it as they please (but cannot). This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago. More commits to come.
NGM_BINARY2ASCII, which convert control messages to ASCII and back.
This allows control messages to be sent and received in ASCII form
using ngctl(8), which makes ngctl a lot more useful.
This also allows all the type-specific debugging code in libnetgraph
to go away -- instead, we just ask the node itself to do the ASCII
translation for us.
Currently, all generic control messages are supported, as well as
messages associated with the following node types: async, cisco,
ksocket, and ppp.
See /usr/share/examples/netgraph/ngctl for an example of using this.
Also give ngctl(8) the ability to print out incoming data and
control messages at any time. Eventually nghook(8) may be subsumed.
Several other misc. bug fixes.
