The name trunk is misused as the networking term trunk means carrying multiple
VLANs over a single connection. The IEEE standard for link aggregation (802.3
section 3) does not talk about 'trunk' at all while it is used throughout IEEE
802.1Q in describing vlans.
The lagg(4) driver provides link aggregation, failover and fault tolerance.

tolerance. This driver allows aggregation of multiple network interfaces as
one virtual interface using a number of different protocols/algorithms.
failover - Sends traffic through the secondary port if the master becomes
inactive.
fec - Supports Cisco Fast EtherChannel.
lacp - Supports the IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol
(LACP) and the Marker Protocol.
loadbalance - Static loadbalancing using an outgoing hash.
roundrobin - Distributes outgoing traffic using a round-robin scheduler
through all active ports.
This code was obtained from OpenBSD and this also includes 802.3ad LACP support
from agr(4) in NetBSD.

With this change we are able to change a link level route to a
gateway one, that wasn't possible before:

# arp -s 192.168.22.99 00:11:22:33:44:55

stack and perform appropriate cleanup to prevent memory leaks.
This has been implemented in such a way as to be backwards ABI compatible.
Kernel consumers are changed to use if_delmulti_ifma(); in_delmulti()
is unable to detect interface removal by design, as it performs searches
on structures which are removed with the interface.
With this architectural change, the panics FreeBSD users have experienced
with carp and pfsync should be resolved.

Main points of this change:
* Drop frames immediately if the interface is not marked IFF_UP.
* Always trim off the frame checksum if present.
* Always use M_VLANTAG in preference to passing 802.1Q frames
to consumers.
* Use __func__ consistently for KASSERT().
* Use the M_PROMISC flag to detect situations where ether_input()
may reenter itself on the same call graph with the same mbuf which
was promiscuously received on behalf of subsystems such as
netgraph, carp, and vlan.
* 802.1P frames (that is, VLAN frames with an ID of 0) will now be
passed to layer 3 input paths.
* Deal with the special case for CARP in a sane way.
This is a significant rewrite of code on the critical path. Please report
any issues to me if they arise. Frames will now only pass through dummynet
if M_PROMISC is cleared, to avoid problems with re-entry.
The handling of CARP needs to be revisited architecturally. The M_PROMISC
flag may potentially be demoted to a link-layer flag only as it is in
NetBSD, where the idea originated.

- ifv_list member of struct ifvlan is unneeded in array mode,
it's used only in hash mode to resolve hash collisions.
- We don't need the list of trunks at all. (The initial reason for
having it was to be able to destroy all trunks in the MOD_UNLOAD
handler, but a trunk is not to be destroyed forcibly -- it will
go away when all vlan interfaces on it have been deleted.
Note that if_clone_detach() called first of all under MOD_UNLOAD
will delete all vlan interfaces and thus make all trunks go away
quietly.)
- It's enough to use a single [S]LIST_FIRST() in a typical list
destruction loop.
Add macro EVL_APPLY_VLID() which may be used to apply an 802.1q VLAN ID
to the M_VLANTAG field in an mbuf packet header non-destructively.
This will be used by net80211 to begin with.
Add macro EVL_APPLY_PRI() which may be used to apply an 802.1p priority
class to the M_VLANTAG field in an mbuf packet header non-destructively.
Add other macros for manipulating tags and the CFI bit.

- BIOCGDIRECTION and BIOCSDIRECTION get or set the setting determining
whether incoming, outgoing, or all packets on the interface should be
returned by BPF. Set to BPF_D_IN to see only incoming packets on the
interface. Set to BPF_D_INOUT to see packets originating locally and
remotely on the interface. Set to BPF_D_OUT to see only outgoing
packets on the interface. This setting is initialized to BPF_D_INOUT
by default. BIOCGSEESENT and BIOCSSEESENT are obsoleted by these but
kept for backward compatibility.
- BIOCFEEDBACK sets packet feedback mode. This allows injected packets
to be fed back as input to the interface when output via the interface is
successful. When BPF_D_INOUT direction is set, injected outgoing packet
is not returned by BPF to avoid duplication. This flag is initialized to
zero by default.
Note that libpcap has been modified to support BPF_D_OUT direction for
pcap_setdirection(3) and PCAP_D_OUT direction is functional now.

In tap(4), we should emulate the effect IFF_PROMISC would have on
hardware, otherwise we risk introducing layer 2 loops if tap(4) is

This patch has been tested in a variety of situations. Multicast and

behaviour causing problems with multiple QEMU instances hosted on

The checks in in ether_demux() [if_ethersubr.c, rev 1.222, line 638]
