4fb3a8208c Implement interface link header precomputation API.
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.

427c2f4ef0 Provide additional lle data in IPv6 lltable dump used by ndp(8).
Before the change, things like lle state were queried via
  SIOCGNBRINFO_IN6 by ndp(8) for _each_ lle entry in dump.
This ioctl was added in 1999, probably to avoid touching rtsock code.

This change maps SIOCGNBRINFO_IN6 data to standard rtsock dump the
 following way:
  expire (already) maps to rtm_rmx.rmx_expire
  isrouter -> rtm_flags & RTF_GATEWAY
  asked -> rtm_rmx.rmx_pksent
  state -> rtm_rmx.rmx_state (maps to rmx_weight via define)

65ff3638df Merge helper fib* functions used for basic lookups.
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).

e8b0643eee Add new rt_foreach_fib_walk_del() function for deleting route entries
by filter function instead of picking into routing table details in
  each consumer.
Remove now-unused rt_expunge() (eliminating last external RTF_RNH_LOCKED
 user).
This simplifies future nexthops/mulitipath changes and rtrequest1_fib()
  locking refactoring.

Actual changes:
Add "rt_chain" field to permit rte grouping while doing batched delete
  from routing table (thus growing rte 200->208 on amd64).
Add "rti_filter" /  "rti_filterdata" / "rti_spare" fields to rt_addrinfo
  to pass filter function to various routing subsystems in standard way.
Convert all rt_expunge() customers to new rt_addinfo-based api and eliminate

d375edc9b5 Simplify inet alias handling code: if we're adding/removing alias which

This eliminates the following rtsock messages:

Pinned RTM_ADD for prefix (for alias addition).
Pinned RTM_DELETE for prefix (for alias withdrawal).

Sending both RTM_ADD/RTM_DELETE messages to rtsock is completely wrong
(and requires some hacks to keep prefix in route table on RTM_DELETE).

I've tested this change with quagga (no change) and bird (*).

bird alias handling is already broken in *BSD sysdep code, so nothing
changes here, too.

I'm going to MFC this change if there will be no complains about behavior
change.

bf9840512a When ip_output()/ip6_output() is supplied a struct route *ro argument,
it skips FLOWTABLE lookup. However, the non-NULL ro has dual meaning
here: it may be supplied to provide route, and it may be supplied to
store and return to caller the route that ip_output()/ip6_output()
finds. In the latter case skipping FLOWTABLE lookup is pessimisation.

The difference between struct route filled by FLOWTABLE and filled
by rtalloc() family is that the former doesn't hold a reference on
its rtentry. Reference is hold by flow entry, and it is about to
be released in future. Thus, route filled by FLOWTABLE shouldn't
be passed to RTFREE() macro.

- Introduce new flag for struct route/route_in6, that marks route
  not holding a reference on rtentry.
- Introduce new macro RO_RTFREE() that cleans up a struct route
  depending on its kind.
- All callers to ip_output()/ip6_output() that do supply non-NULL
  but empty route should use RO_RTFREE() to free results of
  lookup.
- ip_output()/ip6_output() now do FLOWTABLE lookup always when
  ro->ro_rt == NULL.

This allows users to change the number of FIBs from 1..RT_MAXFIBS(16)
dynamically using the tunable without the need to change the kernel
config for the maximum anymore.  This means that thet multi-FIB

c7ea0aa648 One of the advantages of enabling ECMP (a.k.a RADIX_MPATH) is to
allow for connection load balancing across interfaces. Currently
the address alias handling method is colliding with the ECMP code.
For example, when two interfaces are configured on the same prefix,
only one prefix route is installed. So connection load balancing
among the available interfaces is not possible.

The other advantage of ECMP is for failover. The issue with the
current code, is that the interface link-state is not reflected
in the route entry. For example, if there are two interfaces on
the same prefix, the cable on one interface is unplugged, new and
existing connections should switch over to the other interface.
This is not done today and packets go into a black hole.

Also, there is a small bug in the kernel where deleting ECMP routes
in the userland will always return an error even though the command
is successfully executed.

c7ab66020f The proxy arp entries could not be added into the system over the
IFF_POINTOPOINT link types. The reason was due to the routing
entry returned from the kernel covering the remote end is of an
interface type that does not support ARP. This patch fixes this
problem by providing a hint to the kernel routing code, which
indicates the prefix route instead of the PPP host route should
be returned to the caller. Since a host route to the local end
point is also added into the routing table, and there could be
multiple such instantiations due to multiple PPP links can be
created with the same local end IP address, this patch also fixes
the loopback route installation failure problem observed prior to
this patch. The reference count of loopback route to local end would
be either incremented or decremented. The first instantiation would
create the entry and the last removal would delete the route entry.

8eca593c5a This checkin addresses a couple of issues:
1. The "route" command allows route insertion through the interface-direct
   option "-iface". During if_attach(), an sockaddr_dl{} entry is created
   for the interface and is part of the interface address list. This
   sockaddr_dl{} entry describes the interface in detail. The "route"
   command selects this entry as the "gateway" object when the "-iface"
   option is present. The "arp" and "ndp" commands also interact with the
   kernel through the routing socket when adding and removing static L2
   entries. The static L2 information is also provided through the
   "gateway" object with an AF_LINK family type, similar to what is
   provided by the "route" command. In order to differentiate between
   these two types of operations, a RTF_LLDATA flag is introduced. This
   flag is set by the "arp" and "ndp" commands when issuing the add and
   delete commands. This flag is also set in each L2 entry returned by the
   kernel. The "arp" and "ndp" command follows a convention where a RTM_GET
   is issued first followed by a RTM_ADD/DELETE. This RTM_GET request fills
   in the fields for a "rtm" object, which is reinjected into the kernel by
   a subsequent RTM_ADD/DELETE command. The entry returend from RTM_GET
   is a prefix route, so the RTF_LLDATA flag must be specified when issuing
   the RTM_ADD/DELETE messages.

2. Enforce the convention that NET_RT_FLAGS with a 0 w_arg is the
   specification for retrieving L2 information. Also optimized the
   code logic.

6e6b3f7cbc This main goals of this project are:
1. separating L2 tables (ARP, NDP) from the L3 routing tables
2. removing as much locking dependencies among these layers as
   possible to allow for some parallelism in the search operations
3. simplify the logic in the routing code,

The most notable end result is the obsolescent of the route
cloning (RTF_CLONING) concept, which translated into code reduction
in both IPv4 ARP and IPv6 NDP related modules, and size reduction in
struct rtentry{}. The change in design obsoletes the semantics of
RTF_CLONING, RTF_WASCLONE and RTF_LLINFO routing flags. The userland
applications such as "arp" and "ndp" have been modified to reflect
those changes. The output from "netstat -r" shows only the routing
entries.

Quite a few developers have contributed to this project in the
past: Glebius Smirnoff, Luigi Rizzo, Alessandro Cerri, and
Andre Oppermann. And most recently:

- Kip Macy revised the locking code completely, thus completing
  the last piece of the puzzle, Kip has also been conducting
  active functional testing
- Sam Leffler has helped me improving/refactoring the code, and
  provided valuable reviews
- Julian Elischer setup the perforce tree for me and has helped
  me maintaining that branch before the svn conversion

4e7840e25e Move #defines for MRT-related constants from net/route.c to
net/route.h, because the vnet code will need those constants as
well.

93fcb5a28d Revert a part of the MRT commit that proved un-needed.
rt_check() in its original form proved to be sufficient and
rt_check_fib() can go away (as can its evil twin in_rt_check()).

I believe this does NOT address the crashes people have been seeing
in rt_check.
