# 284072 06-Jun-2015 ae

MFC r276148:
Remove in_gif.h and in6_gif.h files. They only contain function
declarations used by gif(4). Instead declare these functions in C files.
Also make some variables static.

MFC r276215:
Extern declarations in C files loses compile-time checking that
the functions' calls match their definitions. Move them to header files.


# 284066 06-Jun-2015 ae

MFC r274246:
Overhaul if_gre(4).

Split it into two modules: if_gre(4) for GRE encapsulation and
if_me(4) for minimal encapsulation within IP.

gre(4) changes:
* convert to if_transmit;
* rework locking: protect access to softc with rmlock,
protect from concurrent ioctls with sx lock;
* correct interface accounting for outgoing datagramms (count only payload size);
* implement generic support for using IPv6 as delivery header;
* make implementation conform to the RFC 2784 and partially to RFC 2890;
* add support for GRE checksums - calculate for outgoing datagramms and check
for inconming datagramms;
* add support for sending sequence number in GRE header;
* remove support of cached routes. This fixes problem, when gre(4) doesn't
work at system startup. But this also removes support for having tunnels with
the same addresses for inner and outer header.
* deprecate support for various GREXXX ioctls, that doesn't used in FreeBSD.
Use our standard ioctls for tunnels.

me(4):
* implementation conform to RFC 2004;
* use if_transmit;
* use the same locking model as gre(4);

MFC r274289 (by bz):
gcc requires variables to be initialised in two places. One of them
is correctly used only under the same conditional though.

For module builds properly check if the kernel supports INET or INET6,
as otherwise various mips kernels without IPv6 support would fail to build.

MFC r274964:
Add ip_gre.h to ObsoleteFiles.inc.


# 284018 05-Jun-2015 ae

MFC r271918 (by hrs):
- Virtualize interface cloner for gre(4). This fixes a panic when destroying
a vnet jail which has a gre(4) interface.

- Make net.link.gre.max_nesting vnet-local.
