Add if_requestencap() interface method which is capable of calculating
various link headers for given interface. Right now there is support
for INET/INET6/ARP llheader calculation (IFENCAP_LL type request).
Other types are planned to support more complex calculation
(L2 multipath lagg nexthops, tunnel encap nexthops, etc..).
Reshape 'struct route' to be able to pass additional data (with is length)
to prepend to mbuf.
These two changes permits routing code to pass pre-calculated nexthop data
(like L2 header for route w/gateway) down to the stack eliminating the
need for other lookups. It also brings us closer to more complex scenarios
like transparently handling MPLS nexthops and tunnel interfaces.
Last, but not least, it removes layering violation introduced by flowtable
code (ro_lle) and simplifies handling of existing if_output consumers.
ARP/ND changes:
Make arp/ndp stack pre-calculate link header upon installing/updating lle
record. Interface link address change are handled by re-calculating
headers for all lles based on if_lladdr event. After these changes,
arpresolve()/nd6_resolve() returns full pre-calculated header for
supported interfaces thus simplifying if_output().
Move these lookups to separate ether_resolve_addr() function which ether
returs error or fully-prepared link header. Add <arp|nd6_>resolve_addr()
compat versions to return link addresses instead of pre-calculated data.
BPF changes:
Raw bpf writes occupied _two_ cases: AF_UNSPEC and pseudo_AF_HDRCMPLT.
Despite the naming, both of there have ther header "complete". The only
difference is that interface source mac has to be filled by OS for
AF_UNSPEC (controlled via BIOCGHDRCMPLT). This logic has to stay inside
BPF and not pollute if_output() routines. Convert BPF to pass prepend data
via new 'struct route' mechanism. Note that it does not change
non-optimized if_output(): ro_prepend handling is purely optional.
Side note: hackish pseudo_AF_HDRCMPLT is supported for ethernet and FDDI.
It is not needed for ethernet anymore. The only remaining FDDI user is
dev/pdq mostly untouched since 2007. FDDI support was eliminated from
OpenBSD in 2013 (sys/net/if_fddisubr.c rev 1.65).
Flowtable changes:
Flowtable violates layering by saving (and not correctly managing)
rtes/lles. Instead of passing lle pointer, pass pointer to pre-calculated
header data from that lle.

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.

Use hhook(9) framework to achieve ability of loading and unloading
if_enc(4) kernel module. INET and INET6 code on initialization registers
two helper hooks points in the kernel. if_enc(4) module uses these helper
hook points and registers its hooks. IPSEC code uses these hhook points
to call helper hooks implemented in if_enc(4).
* prepare gateway before insertion
* use RTM_CHANGE instead of explicit find/change route
* Remove fib argument from ifa_switch_loopback_route added in r264887:
if old ifp fib differes from new one, that the caller
is doing something wrong
* Make ifa_*_loopback_route call single ifa_maintain_loopback_route().
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.

Some virtual if drivers has (ab)used ifa ifa_rtrequest hook to enforce
route MTU to be not bigger that interface MTU. While ifa_rtrequest hooking
might be an option in some situation, it is not feasible to do MTU checks
there: generic (or per-domain) routing code is perfectly capable of doing
this.
We currrently have 3 places where MTU is altered:
1) route addition.
In this case domain overrides radix _addroute callback (in[6]_addroute)
and all necessary checks/fixes are/can be done there.
2) route change (especially, GW change).
In this case, there are no explicit per-domain calls, but one can
override rte by setting ifa_rtrequest hook to domain handler
(inet6 does this).
3) ifconfig ifaceX mtu YYYY
In this case, we have no callbacks, but ip[6]_output performes runtime
checks and decreases rt_mtu if necessary.
Generally, the goals are to be able to handle all MTU changes in
control plane, not in runtime part, and properly deal with increased
interface MTU.
This commit changes the following:
* removes hooks setting MTU from drivers side
* adds proper per-doman MTU checks for case 1)
* adds generic MTU check for case 2)
* The latter is done by using new dom_ifmtu callback since
if_mtu denotes L3 interface MTU, e.g. maximum trasmitted _packet_ size.
However, IPv6 mtu might be different from if_mtu one (e.g. default 1280)
for some cases, so we need an abstract way to know maximum MTU size
for given interface and domain.
* moves rt_setmetrics() before MTU/ifa_rtrequest hooks since it copies
user-supplied data which must be checked.
* removes RT_LOCK_ASSERT() from other ifa_rtrequest hooks to be able to
use this functions on new non-inserted rte.
More changes will follow soon.

interface allows the ifnet structure to be defined as an opaque
type in NIC drivers. This then allows the ifnet structure to be
changed without a need to change or recompile NIC drivers.
Put differently, NIC drivers can be written and compiled once and
be used with different network stack implementations, provided of
course that those network stack implementations have an API and
ABI compatible interface.
This commit introduces the 'if_t' type to replace 'struct ifnet *'
as the type of a network interface. The 'if_t' type is defined as
'void *' to enable the compiler to perform type conversion to
'struct ifnet *' and vice versa where needed and without warnings.
The functions that implement the API are the only functions that
need to have an explicit cast.
The MII code has been converted to use the driver API to avoid
unnecessary code churn. Code churn comes from having to work with
both converted and unconverted drivers in correlation with having
callback functions that take an interface. By converting the MII
code first, the callback functions can be defined so that the
compiler will perform the typecasts automatically.
As soon as all drivers have been converted, the if_t type can be
redefined as needed and the API functions can be fix to not need
an explicit cast.
The immediate benefactors of this change are:
1. Juniper Networks - The network stack implementation in Junos
is entirely different from FreeBSD's one and this change
allows Juniper to build "stock" NIC drivers that can be used
in combination with both the FreeBSD and Junos stacks.
2. FreeBSD - This change opens the door towards changing ifnet
and implementing new features and optimizations in the network
stack without it requiring a change in the many NIC drivers
FreeBSD has.
