aspect of time stamp configuration per interface rather than per BPF
descriptor. Prior to this, the order in which BPF devices were opened and the
per descriptor time stamp configuration settings could cause non-deterministic
and unintended behaviour with respect to time stamping. With the new scheme, a
BPF attached interface's tscfg sysctl entry can be set to "default", "none",
"fast", "normal" or "external". Setting "default" means use the system default
option (set with the net.bpf.tscfg.default sysctl), "none" means do not
generate time stamps for tapped packets, "fast" means generate time stamps for
tapped packets using a hz granularity system clock read, "normal" means
generate time stamps for tapped packets using a full timecounter granularity
system clock read and "external" (currently unimplemented) means use the time
stamp provided with the packet from an underlying source.
- Utilise the recently introduced sysclock_getsnapshot() and
sysclock_snap2bintime() KPIs to ensure the system clock is only read once per
packet, regardless of the number of BPF descriptors and time stamp formats
requested. Use the per BPF attached interface time stamp configuration to
control if sysclock_getsnapshot() is called and whether the system clock read
is fast or normal. The per BPF descriptor time stamp configuration is then
used to control how the system clock snapshot is converted to a bintime by
sysclock_snap2bintime().
- Remove all FAST related BPF descriptor flag variants. Performing a "fast"
read of the system clock is now controlled per BPF attached interface using
the net.bpf.tscfg sysctl tree.
- Update the bpf.4 man page.

7.x, 8.x and 9.x with pf(4) imports: pfsync(4) should suppress CARP
preemption, while it is running its bulk update.
However, reimplement the feature in more elegant manner, that is
partially inspired by newer OpenBSD:
- Rename term "suppression" to "demotion", to match with OpenBSD.
- Keep a global demotion factor, that can be raised by several
conditions, for now these are:
- interface goes down
- carp(4) has problems with ip_output() or ip6_output()
- pfsync performs bulk update
- Unlike in OpenBSD the demotion factor isn't a counter, but
is actual value added to advskew. The adjustment values for
particular error conditions are also configurable, and their
defaults are maximum advskew value, so a single failure bumps
demotion to maximum. This is for POLA compatibility, and should
satisfy most users.
- Demotion factor is a writable sysctl, so user can do
foot shooting, if he desires to.
from scratch, copying needed functionality from the old implemenation
on demand, with a thorough review of all code. The main change is that
interface layer has been removed from the CARP. Now redundant addresses
are configured exactly on the interfaces, they run on.
The CARP configuration itself is, as before, configured and read via
SIOCSVH/SIOCGVH ioctls. A new prefix created with SIOCAIFADDR or
SIOCAIFADDR_IN6 may now be configured to a particular virtual host id,
which makes the prefix redundant.
ifconfig(8) semantics has been changed too: now one doesn't need
to clone carpXX interface, he/she should directly configure a vhid
on a Ethernet interface.
To supply vhid data from the kernel to an application the getifaddrs(8)
function had been changed to pass ifam_data with each address. [1]
The new implementation definitely closes all PRs related to carp(4)
being an interface, and may close several others. It also allows
to run a single redundant IP per interface.
Big thanks to Bjoern Zeeb for his help with inet6 part of patch, for
idea on using ifam_data and for several rounds of reviewing!

If a selinfo object is recorded (via selrecord()) and then it is
quickly destroyed, with the waiters missing the opportunity to awake,
at the next iteration they will find the selinfo object destroyed,
causing a PF#.
That happens because the selinfo interface has no way to drain the
waiters before to destroy the registered selinfo object. Also this
race is quite rare to get in practice, because it would require a
selrecord(), a poll request by another thread and a quick destruction
of the selrecord()'ed selinfo object.
Fix this by adding the seldrain() routine which should be called
before to destroy the selinfo objects (in order to avoid such case),
and fix the present cases where it might have already been called.
Sometimes, the context is safe enough to prevent this type of race,
like it happens in device drivers which installs selinfo objects on
poll callbacks. There, the destruction of the selinfo object happens
at driver detach time, when all the filedescriptors should be already
closed, thus there cannot be a race.
For this case, mfi(4) device driver can be set as an example, as it
implements a full correct logic for preventing this from happening.

default dispatch method to NETISR_DISPATCH_DIRECT in order to force

changing default behavior, but in the future will allow deferred or
hybrid dispatch to other worker threads before link layer processing
has taken place.
For example, this could allow redistribution using RSS hashes
without ethernet header cache line hits, if the NIC was unable to
adequately implement load balancing to too small a number of input
queues -- perhaps due to hard queueset counts of 1, 3, or 8, but in
a modern system with 16-128 threads. This can happen on highly
threaded systems, where you want want an ithread per core,
redistributing work to other queues, but also on virtualised systems
where hardware hashing is (or is not) available, but only a single
queue has been directed to one VCPU on a VM.
Note: this adds a previously non-present assertion about the
equivalence of the ifnet from which the packet is received, and the
ifnet stamped in the mbuf header. I believe this assertion to
generally be true, but we'll find out soon -- if it's not, we might

"hybrid" which makes a dynamic decision based on CPU affinity, ordering,
etc. Routines are implemented to convert between strings and an integer
namespace.
- A new global variable, netisr_dispatch_policy, subsumes existing global
variables for direct dispatch, forced direct dispatch, etc, and is used
for explicit policy interpretation and composition. Old variables remain
so that they can be exported by legacy sysctls for use by old netstat(1)
binaries. A new sysctl and tunable, netisr.dispatch.policy, accepts the
above strings for specifying a global policy default.
- The protocol registration structure, netisr_handler, grows an nh_dispatch
field, which accepts a per-policy policy override. The default value is
'0', which corresponds to "default", meaning that protocols will accept
the global default policy unless otherwise specified.
- Policies are now interpreted and composed explicitly at various points in
packet dispatch; protocol policies override global policies.
- Protocols grow the ability to express a non-opinion about affinity even
when implenting m2cpuid by returning NETISR_CPUID_NONE. In that case, the
framework falls back on source ordering, rather than simply using the
current CPU.
These changes are in support of allowing link layer re-dispatch based on
RSS or similar hashes provided by NICs, especially in the case where the
number of hardware receive queues matches hardware core count, rather than
hardware thread count, requiring further software redistributeon. (i.e.,

IFM_FLOW isn't implemented as a global option via the "don't care

following advantages:
o allows flow control advertisement with autonegotiation to be

being off (though MIIF_FORCEPAUSE has been added causing flow
control to be always advertised, allowing to easily MFC this
changes for drivers that previously used home-grown support for

o allows to deal with PHY drivers where flow control advertisement
with manual selection doesn't work or at least isn't implemented,

by setting MIIF_NOMANPAUSE

- Add IFM_FLOW to IFM_SHARED_OPTION_DESCRIPTIONS and IFM_ETH_RXPAUSE
and IFM_ETH_TXPAUSE to IFM_SUBTYPE_ETHERNET_OPTION_DESCRIPTIONS so
these are understood by ifconfig(8).
o Make the master/slave support in mii(4) actually usable:
- Change IFM_ETH_MASTER from being implemented as a global option via
the "don't care mask" to a media specific one as it actually is only
applicable to IFM_1000_T to date.
- Let mii_phy_setmedia() set GTCR_MAN_MS in IFM_1000_T slave mode to
actually configure manually selected slave mode (like we also do in
the PHY specific implementations).
- Add IFM_ETH_MASTER to IFM_SUBTYPE_ETHERNET_OPTION_DESCRIPTIONS so it
is understood by ifconfig(8).
o Switch bge(4), bce(4), msk(4), nfe(4) and stge(4) along with brgphy(4),
e1000phy(4) and ip1000phy(4) to use the generic flow control support
instead of home-grown solutions via IFM_FLAGs. This includes changing
these PHY drivers and smcphy(4) to no longer unconditionally advertise
support for flow control but only if the selected media has IFM_FLOW
set (or MIIF_FORCEPAUSE is set) and implemented for these media variants,
i.e. typically only for copper.

them. The latter approach seems to have developed historically, besides
causing unnecessary code duplication it was also undesirable because
brgphy_mii_phy_auto() already based the capability advertisement on the
contents of the BMSR though.

When a fast machine first brings up some non TCP networking program
it is quite possible that we will drop packets due to the fact that
only one packet can be held per ARP entry. This leads to packets
being missed when a program starts or restarts if the ARP data is
not currently in the ARP cache.
This code adds a new sysctl, net.link.ether.inet.maxhold, which defines
a system wide maximum number of packets to be held in each ARP entry.
Up to maxhold packets are queued until an ARP reply is received or
the ARP times out. The default setting is the old value of 1
which has been part of the BSD networking code since time
immemorial.
Expose the time we hold an incomplete ARP entry by adding
the sysctl net.link.ether.inet.wait, which defaults to 20
seconds, the value used when the new ARP code was added..

Similarly, we can get the current resolution and accuracy with BIOCGTSTAMP

- Introduce new time stamp 'struct bpf_ts' and header 'struct bpf_xhdr'.
The new time stamp has both 64-bit second and fractional parts. bpf_xhdr
has this time stamp instead of 'struct timeval' for bh_tstamp. The new
structures let us use bh_tstamp of same size on both 32-bit and 64-bit
platforms without adding additional shims for 32-bit binaries. On 64-bit
platforms, size of BPF header does not change compared to bpf_hdr as its
members are already all 64-bit long. On 32-bit platforms, the size may
increase by 8 bytes. For backward compatibility, struct bpf_hdr with
struct timeval is still the default header unless new time stamp format is
explicitly requested. However, the behaviour may change in the future and
all relevant code is wrapped around "#ifdef BURN_BRIDGES" for now.

detached, all of its multicast addresses are removed before the ifnet
departure eventhandlers are invoked. This means that all of the multicast
addresses are removed before the vlan interfaces are removed which causes
the if_delmulti() calls in the vlan teardown to fail.
In the VLAN_ARRAY case, this left vlan interfaces referencing a no longer
valid parent interface. In the !VLAN_ARRAY case, the eventhandler gets
stuck in an infinite loop retrying vlan_unconfig_locked() forever. In
general the callers of vlan_unconfig_locked() do not expect nor handle

The other advantage of ECMP is for failover. The issue with the

the same prefix, the cable on one interface is unplugged, new and
existing connections should switch over to the other interface.

and tested over the past two months in the ipfw3-head branch. This
also happens to be the same code available in the Linux and Windows
ports of ipfw and dummynet.
The major enhancement is a completely restructured version of
dummynet, with support for different packet scheduling algorithms
(loadable at runtime), faster queue/pipe lookup, and a much cleaner
internal architecture and kernel/userland ABI which simplifies
future extensions.
In addition to the existing schedulers (FIFO and WF2Q+), we include
a Deficit Round Robin (DRR or RR for brevity) scheduler, and a new,
very fast version of WF2Q+ called QFQ.
Some test code is also present (in sys/netinet/ipfw/test) that
lets you build and test schedulers in userland.
Also, we have added a compatibility layer that understands requests
from the RELENG_7 and RELENG_8 versions of the /sbin/ipfw binaries,
and replies correctly (at least, it does its best; sometimes you
just cannot tell who sent the request and how to answer).
The compatibility layer should make it possible to MFC this code in a
relatively short time.
Some minor glitches (e.g. handling of ipfw set enable/disable,
and a workaround for a bug in RELENG_7's /sbin/ipfw) will be
fixed with separate commits.
CREDITS:
This work has been partly supported by the ONELAB2 project, and
mostly developed by Riccardo Panicucci and myself.
The code for the qfq scheduler is mostly from Fabio Checconi,
and Marta Carbone and Francesco Magno have helped with testing,
debugging and some bug fixes.
Enhanced process coredump routines.
This brings in the following features:
1) Limit number of cores per process via the %I coredump formatter.
Example:
if corefilename is set to %N.%I.core AND num_cores = 3, then
if a process "rpd" cores, then the corefile will be named
"rpd.0.core", however if it cores again, then the kernel will
generate "rpd.1.core" until we hit the limit of "num_cores".
this is useful to get several corefiles, but also prevent filling
the machine with corefiles.
2) Encode machine hostname in core dump name via %H.
3) Compress coredumps, useful for embedded platforms with limited space.
A sysctl kern.compress_user_cores is made available if turned on.
To enable compressed coredumps, the following config options need to be set:
options COMPRESS_USER_CORES
device zlib # brings in the zlib requirements.
device gzio # brings in the kernel vnode gzip output module.
4) Eventhandlers are fired to indicate coredumps in progress.
5) The imgact sv_coredump routine has grown a flag to pass in more
state, currently this is used only for passing a flag down to compress
the coredump or not.
Note that the gzio facility can be used for generic output of gzip'd
streams via vnodes.
