arprequest() is a void function and in case of error we simply return without any feedback. In case of any local operation or *if_output() failing no feedback is send up the stack for the packet which triggered the arp request to be sent. arpresolve_full() has three pre-canned possible errors returned (if we have not yet sent enough arp requests or if we tried often enough without success) otherwise "no error" is returned. Make arprequest() an "internal" function arprequest_internal() which does return a possible error to the caller. Preserve arprequest() as a void wrapper function for external consumers. In arpresolve_full() add an extra error checking. Use the arprequest_internal() function and only return an error if non of the three ones (mentioend above) are already set. This will return possible errors all the way up the stack and allows functions and programs to react on the send errors rather than leaving them in the dark. Also they might get more detailed feedback of why packets cannot be sent and they will receive it quicker. Reviewed by: karels, hselasky Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D18904

FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
