Several ipfw options and actions use a 16-bit argument to indicate
pipes, queues, tags, rule numbers and so on. These are all different namespaces, and the only thing they have in common is the fact they use a 16-bit slot to represent the argument. There is some confusion in the code, mostly for historical reasons, on how the values 0 and 65535 should be used. At the moment, 0 is forbidden almost everywhere, while 65535 is used to represent a 'tablearg' argument, i.e. the result of the most recent table() lookup. For now, try to use explicit constants for the min and max allowed values, and do not overload the default rule number for that. Also, make the MTAG_IPFW declaration only visible to the kernel. NOTE: I think the issue needs to be revisited before 8.0 is out: the 2^16 namespace limit for rule numbers and pipe/queue is annoying, and we can easily bump the limit to 2^32 which gives a lot more flexibility in partitioning the namespace.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``world'' target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not changed from the currently running version. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
