+ implement "limit" rules, which permit to limit the number of sessions
between certain host pairs (according to masks). These are a special
type of stateful rules, which might be of interest in some cases.
See the ipfw manpage for details.
+ merge the list pointers and ipfw rule descriptors in the kernel, so
the code is smaller, faster and more readable. This patch basically
consists in replacing "foo->rule->bar" with "rule->bar" all over
the place.
I have been willing to do this for ages!

MFC will occur in due time and probably in stages.
BUGFIX: fix a problem in old code which prevented reallocation of
the hash table for dynamic rules (there is a PR on this).
OTHER CHANGES: minor changes to the internal struct for static and dynamic rules.
Requires rebuild of ipfw binary.
Add comments to show how data structures are linked together.
(It probably makes no sense to keep the chain pointers separate
from actual rule descriptors. They will be hopefully merged soon.
keep a (sysctl-readable) counter for the number of static rules,

initial support for a "grace time" for expired connections, so we
can set timeouts for closing connections to much shorter times.
merge zero_entry() and resetlog_entry(), they use basically the
same code.
clean up and reduce replication of code for removing rules,
both for readability and code size.
introduce a separate lifetime for dynamic UDP rules.
fix a problem in old code which prevented reallocation of

restructure dynamic rule descriptors
introduce some local variables to avoid multiple dereferencing of
pointer chains (reduces code size and hopefully increases speed).
about rules and dynamic rules. it later fills this buffer with these
rules.
it also takes the opporunity to compare the expiration of the dynamic
rules with the current time and either marks them for deletion or simply
charges the countdown.
unfortunatly it does this all (the sizing, the buffer copying, and the
expiration GC) with no spl protection whatsoever. it was possible for
the dynamic rule(s) to be ripped out from under the request before it
had completed, resulting in corrupt memory dereferencing.

This allows you to install rules that are persistent across flushes,
which is very useful if you want a default set of rules that
maintains your access to remote machines while you're reconfiguring
the other rules.

When we recieve a fragmented TCP packet (other than the first) we can't
extract header information (we don't have state to reference). In a rather
unelegant fashion we just move on and assume a non-match.
Recent additions to the TCP header-specific section of the code neglected
to add the logic to the fragment code so in those cases the match was
assumed to be positive and those parts of the rule (which should have
resulted in a non-match/continue) were instead skipped (which means
the processing of the rule continued even though it had already not
matched).
Fault can be spread out over Rich Steenbergen (tcpoptions) and myself
(tcp{seq,ack,win}).
rwatson sent me a patch that got me thinking about this whole situation
(but what I'm committing / this description is mine so don't blame him).
address is configured on a interface. This is useful for routers with
dynamic interfaces. It is now possible to say:
0100 allow tcp from any to any established
0200 skipto 1000 tcp from any to any
0300 allow ip from any to any
1000 allow tcp from 1.2.3.4 to me 22
1010 deny tcp from any to me 22
1020 allow tcp from any to any
and not have to worry about the behaviour if dynamic interfaces configure
new IP numbers later on.
The check is semi expensive (traverses the interface address list)
so it should be protected as in the above example if high performance
is a requirement.
reserved and now allocated TCP flags in incoming packets. This patch
stops overloading those bits in the IP firewall rules, and moves
colliding flags to a seperate field, ipflg. The IPFW userland
management tool, ipfw(8), is updated to reflect this change. New TCP
flags related to ECN are now included in tcp.h for reference, although
we don't currently implement TCP+ECN.
o To use this fix without completely rebuilding, it is sufficient to copy
ip_fw.h and tcp.h into your appropriate include directory, then rebuild
the ipfw kernel module, and ipfw tool, and install both. Note that a
mismatch between module and userland tool will result in incorrect
installation of firewall rules that may have unexpected effects. This
is an MFC candidate, following shakedown. This bug does not appear
to affect ipfilter.

I did not like to have the conversion happen in userland, and I
think that the similar conversions for fw_tcp(seq|ack|win) should
be moved out of userland (src/sbin/ipfw/ipfw.c) into the kernel.

2. You cannot add a uid/gid rule to something that isn't TCP, UDP, or IP.
XXX - this should be handled in ipfw(8) as well (for more diagnostic output),
but this at least protects bogus rules from being added.

Also, remove the (incomplete) hack for matching ethernet headers
in the ip_fw code.
The good news: net result of 1016 lines removed, and this should make
bridging now work with *all* Ethernet drivers.
The bad news: it's nearly impossible to test every driver, especially
for bridging, and I was unable to get much testing help on the mailing
lists.
