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.

Some dummynet modules used strcpy() to copy from a larger buffer
(dn_aqm->name) to a smaller buffer (dn_extra_parms->name). It happens that
the lengths of the strings in the dn_aqm buffers were always hardcoded to be
smaller than the dn_extra_parms buffer ("CODEL", "PIE").
Use strlcpy() instead, to appease static checkers. No functional change.

The module is designed for modification of a packets of any protocols.
For now it implements only TCP MSS modification. It adds the external
action handler for "tcp-setmss" action.
A rule with tcp-setmss action does additional check for protocol and
TCP flags. If SYN flag is present, it parses TCP options and modifies
MSS option if its value is greater than configured value in the rule.
Then it adjustes TCP checksum if needed. After handling the search

In pf_route6() we re-run the ruleset with PF_FWD if the packet goes out
of a different interface. pf_test6() needs to know that the packet was
forwarded (in case it needs to refragment so it knows whether to call
ip6_output() or ip6_forward()).
This lead pf_test6() to try to evaluate rules against the PF_FWD
direction, which isn't supported, so it needs to treat PF_FWD as PF_OUT.
Once fwdir is set correctly the correct output/forward function will be
called.

- PIE_MAX_PROB is compared to variable of int64_t and the type promotion
rules can cause the value of that variable to be treated as unsigned.
If the value is actually negative, then the result of the comparsion
is incorrect, causing the algorithm to perform poorly in some
situations. Changing the constant to be signed cause the comparision
to work correctly.
- PIE_SCALE is also compared to signed values. Fortunately they are
also compared to zero and negative values are discarded so this is
more of a cosmetic fix.
- PIE_DQ_THRESHOLD is only compared to unsigned values, but it is small

as accesses to 64-bit members of struct dn_* are concerned, tripping

larger parts of dummynet(4) still need to be rewritten in order to

In principle, considering the amount of code in dummynet(4) that needs
this erroneous pattern corrected, an acceptable workaround would be to
declare all struct dn_* packed, forcing compilers to do byte-accesses

# ipfw table T64 create type addr valtype ipv4
2. Fill T46 and T64 tables.

# ipfw add nat64stl NAT ip from any to table(T46)
# ipfw add nat64stl NAT ip from table(T64) to 64:ff9b::/96
6. Configure DNS64 for IPv6 clients and add route to 64:ff9b::/96

For interface teardown we try to do as many of them as we can on

over a higher layer protocol such as IP. In that case the interface
has to go along (or before) the higher layer protocol is shutdown.
Kernel hhooks need to go last on teardown as they may be used at various
higher layers and we cannot remove them before we cleaned up the higher
layers.
For interface teardown there are multiple paths:
(a) a cloned interface is destroyed (inside a VIMAGE or in the base system),
(b) any interface is moved from a virtual network stack to a different
network stack ("vmove"), or (c) a virtual network stack is being shut down.
All code paths go through if_detach_internal() where we, depending on the
vmove flag or the vnet state, make a decision on how much to shut down;
in case we are destroying a VNET the individual protocol layers will
cleanup their own parts thus we cannot do so again for each interface as
we end up with, e.g., double-frees, destroying locks twice or acquiring
already destroyed locks.
When calling into protocol cleanups we equally have to tell them
whether they need to detach upper layer protocols ("ulp") or not
(e.g., in6_ifdetach()).

Overview
Recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in better managing
the depth of bottleneck queues in routers, switches and other places
that get congested. Solutions include transport protocol enhancements
at the end-hosts (such as delay-based or hybrid congestion control
schemes) and active queue management (AQM) schemes applied within
bottleneck queues.
The notion of AQM has been around since at least the late 1990s
(e.g. RFC 2309). In recent years the proliferation of oversized
buffers in all sorts of network devices (aka bufferbloat) has
stimulated keen community interest in four new AQM schemes -- CoDel,
FQ-CoDel, PIE and FQ-PIE.
The IETF AQM working group is looking to document these schemes,
and independent implementations are a corner-stone of the IETF's
process for confirming the clarity of publicly available protocol
descriptions. While significant development work on all three schemes
has occured in the Linux kernel, there is very little in FreeBSD.
Project Goals
This project began in late 2015, and aims to design and implement
functionally-correct versions of CoDel, FQ-CoDel, PIE and FQ_PIE
in FreeBSD (with code BSD-licensed as much as practical). We have
chosen to do this as extensions to FreeBSD's ipfw/dummynet firewall
and traffic shaper. Implementation of these AQM schemes in FreeBSD
will:
* Demonstrate whether the publicly available documentation is
sufficient to enable independent, functionally equivalent implementations
* Provide a broader suite of AQM options for sections the networking
community that rely on FreeBSD platforms
Program Members:
* Rasool Al Saadi (developer)
* Grenville Armitage (project lead)

In the DIOCRSETADDRS ioctl() handler we allocate a table for struct pfr_addrs,

feedback on the deleted addresses, by storing them after the new list
('bcopy(&ad, addr + size + i, sizeof(ad));' in pfr_set_addrs()).
This means we write outside the bounds of the buffer we've just allocated.
We need to look at pfrio_size2 instead (i.e. the size the user reserved for our

pfrio_size though, in which case we'd still read outside of the allocated

There are number of radix consumers in kernel land (pf,ipfw,nfs,route)

and first 2 does not use radix locking. On the other hand, routing
structure do have these requirements (rnh_gen, multipath, custom
to-be-added control plane functions, different locking).
Additionally, radix should not known anything about its consumers internals.
So, radix code now uses tiny 'struct radix_head' structure along with
internal 'struct radix_mask_head' instead of 'struct radix_node_head'.
Existing consumers still uses the same 'struct radix_node_head' with
slight modifications: they need to pass pointer to (embedded)
'struct radix_head' to all radix callbacks.
Routing code now uses new 'struct rib_head' with different locking macro:
RADIX_NODE_HEAD prefix was renamed to RIB_ (which stands for routing
information base).
New net/route_var.h header was added to hold routing subsystem internal
data. 'struct rib_head' was placed there. 'struct rtentry' will also

Table value code uses internal objhash API which requires unique key

is used. The actual problem arises from the fact that 'actual' e.g.
runtime data is stored in array and that array is auto-growing. There is
special hook (update_tvalue() function) which is used to update the pointers
after the change. For some reason, object 'key' was not updated.

That was already done in the IPv4 case, but not for the IPv6 case. As a result

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).

even if there was non-zero number of restarts, we would unref/clear
all value references and start ipfw_link_table_values() once again
with (mostly) cleared "tei" buffer.
Additionally, ptei->ptv stores only to-be-added values, not existing ones.
This is a forgotten piece of previous value refconting implementation,
and now it is simply incorrect.
Currently we have tables identified by their names in userland
with internal kernel-assigned indices. This works the following way:
When userland wishes to communicate with kernel to add or change rule(s),
it makes indexed sorted array of table names
(internally ipfw_obj_ntlv entries), and refer to indices in that
array in rule manipulation.
Prior to committing new rule to the ruleset kernel
a) finds all referenced tables, bump their refcounts and change
values inside the opcodes to be real kernel indices
b) auto-creates all referenced but not existing tables and then
do a) for them.
Kernel does almost the same when exporting rules to userland:
prepares array of used tables in all rules in range, and
prepends it before the actual ruleset retaining actual in-kernel
indexes for that.
There is also special translation layer for legacy clients which is
able to provide 'real' indices for table names (basically doing atoi()).
While it is arguable that every subsystem really needs names instead of
numbers, there are several things that should be noted:
1) every non-singleton subsystem needs to store its runtime state
somewhere inside ipfw chain (and be able to get it fast)
2) we can't assume object numbers provided by humans will be dense.
Existing nat implementation (O(n) access and LIST inside chain) is a
good example.
Hence the following:
* Convert table-centric rewrite code to be more generic, callback-based
* Move most of the code from ip_fw_table.c to ip_fw_sockopt.c
* Provide abstract API to permit subsystems convert their objects
between userland string identifier and in-kernel index.
(See struct opcode_obj_rewrite) for more details
* Create another per-chain index (in next commit) shared among all subsystems
* Convert current NAT44 implementation to use new API, O(1) lookups,
shared index and names instead of numbers (in next commit).

In cases where we scrub (fragment reassemble) on both input and output
we risk ending up in infinite loops when forwarding packets.
Fragmented packets come in and get collected until we can defragment. At
that point the defragmented packet is handed back to the ip stack (at
the pfil point in ip6_input(). Normal processing continues.
Eventually we figure out that the packet has to be forwarded and we end
up at the pfil hook in ip6_forward(). After doing the inspection on the
defragmented packet we see that the packet has been defragmented and
because we're forwarding we have to refragment it.
In pf_refragment6() we split the packet up again and then ip6_forward()
the individual fragments. Those fragments hit the pfil hook on the way
out, so they're collected until we can reconstruct the full packet, at
which point we're right back where we left off and things continue until
we run out of stack.
Break that loop by marking the fragments generated by pf_refragment6()
as M_SKIP_FIREWALL. There's no point in processing those packets in the
firewall anyway. We've already filtered on the full packet.
