This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
duplicate ip address 204.162.228.7! sent from ethernet address: 08:00:20:09:7b:1d
changed to
arp: 08:00:20:09:7b:1d is using my IP address 204.162.228.7!
and
arp info overwritten for 204.162.228.2 by 08:00:20:09:7b:1d
changed to
arp: 204.162.228.2 moved from 08:00:20:07:b6:a0 to 08:00:20:09:7b:1d
I think the new wordings are more clear and could save some support
questions.
<net/if_arp.h> and fixed the things that depended on it. The nested
include just allowed unportable programs to compile and made my
simple #include checking program report that networking code doesn't
need to include <sys/socket.h>.
broadcast and multicast routes, otherwise they will be expired by
arptimeout after a few minutes, reverting to " (incomplete)". This makes
the work done by rev 1.27 stay around until the route itself is deleted.
This is mainly cosmetic for 'arp' and 'netstat -r'.
for ARP requests.
The NetBSD version of this patch (see NetBSD PR kern/2381) has this change
already. This should close our PR kern/1140 .
Although it's not quite what he submitted, I got the idea from him so

gcc only inlines memcpy()'s whose count is constant and didn't inline
these. I want memcpy() in the kernel go away so that it's obvious that
it doesn't need to be optimized. Now it is only used for one struct
copy in si.c.
Get rid of ac->ac_ipaddr and arpwhohas() since they assume that
an interface has only one address.

others: start to populate the link-layer branch of the net mib, by
moving ARP to its proper place. (ARP is not a protocol family, it's an
interface layer between a medium-access layer and a protocol family.)
sysctl(8) needs to be taught about the structure of this branch, unless
Poul-Henning implements dynamic MIB exploration soon.
Add five sysctl variables that you should probably never tweak.
net.arp.t_prune: 300
net.arp.t_keep: 1200
net.arp.t_down: 20
net.arp.maxtries: 5
net.arp.useloopback: 1
net.arp.proxyall: 0
(It's net.arp because arp isn't limited to inet, though our present
implementation surely is).
we're at it, eliminate obsolete exposure of `struct llinfo_arp' to
the world. (This dates back to when ARP entries were not stored in
the routing table, and there was no other way for the `arp' program
to read the whole table than to grovel around in /dev/kmem.)
there may even be LKMs.) Also, change the internal name of `unixdomain'
to `localdomain' since AF_LOCAL is now the preferred name of this family.
Declare netisr correctly and in the right place.
a route. (This still doesn't work, but it doesn't panic now.) It looks
like there may be a number of incipient bugs in this code.
Also, get ready for the time when all IP gateway routes are cloning, which
is necessary to keep proper TCP statistics.
a FreeBSD box to do proxy ARP as easily as most commercial routers do,
without messing around with (potentially variable) Ethernet addresses.
This code is really quite simple; I'm not at all sure why it wasn't
implemented in 4.4.
It might be worth stealing an interface flag (maybe IFF_LINK1) to use for
finer-grained control over which interfaces get proxy treatment. For the
moment, it's all or nothing.
- Delete redundant declarations.
- Add -Wredundant-declarations to Makefile.i386 so they don't come back.
- Delete sloppy COMMON-style declarations of uninitialized data in
header files.
- Add a few prototypes.
- Clean up warnings resulting from the above.
NB: ioconf.c will still generate a redundant-declaration warning, which
is unavoidable unless somebody volunteers to make `config' smarter.
