# 254963 27-Aug-2013 alfred

Remove include opt_ofed.h since OFED is unifdef'd.

# 254823 25-Aug-2013 alfred

Remove the #ifdef OFED from the 20 byte mac in struct llentry.

With this change it is now possible to build the entire infiniband
stack as modules and load it dynamically including IP over IB.


# 250300 06-May-2013 andre

Back out r249318, r249320 and r249327 due to a heisenbug most
likely related to a race condition in the ipi_hash_lock with
the exact cause currently unknown but under investigation.


# 249327 10-Apr-2013 glebius

Fix build.


# 246143 31-Jan-2013 glebius

Retire struct sockaddr_inarp.

Since ARP and routing are separated, "proxy only" entries
don't have any meaning, thus we don't need additional field
in sockaddr to pass SIN_PROXY flag.

New kernel is binary compatible with old tools, since sizes
of sockaddr_inarp and sockaddr_in match, and sa_family are
filled with same value.

The structure declaration is left for compatibility with
third party software, but in tree code no longer use it.

# 245924 25-Jan-2013 np

Move lle_event to if_llatbl.h

lle_event replaced arp_update_event after the ARP rewrite and ended up
in if_ether.h simply because arp_update_event used to be there too.
IPv6 neighbor discovery is going to grow lle_event support and this is a
good time to move it to if_llatbl.h.

The two in-tree consumers of this event - OFED and toecore - are not
affected.

# 238990 02-Aug-2012 glebius

Fix races between in_lltable_prefix_free(), lla_lookup(),
llentry_free() and arptimer():

o Use callout_init_rw() for lle timeout, this allows us safely
disestablish them.
- This allows us to simplify the arptimer() and make it
race safe.
o Consistently use ifp->if_afdata_lock to lock access to
linked lists in the lle hashes.
o Introduce new lle flag LLE_LINKED, which marks an entry that
is attached to the hash.
- Use LLE_LINKED to avoid double unlinking via consequent
calls to llentry_free().
- Mark lle with LLE_DELETED via |= operation istead of =,
so that other flags won't be lost.
o Make LLE_ADDREF(), LLE_REMREF() and LLE_FREE_LOCKED() more
consistent and provide more informative KASSERTs.

The patch is a collaborative work of all submitters and myself.

# 238989 02-Aug-2012 glebius

The llentry_update() is used only by flowtable and the latter
always passes NULL pointer to it. Thus, code can be simplified
and function renamed to llentry_alloc() to match rtalloc().

When using flowtable llentrys can outlive the interface with which they're associated
at which the lle_tbl pointer points to freed memory and the llt_free pointer is no longer
valid.

Move the free pointer in to the llentry itself and update the initalization sites.

Permit ARP to proceed for IPv4 host routes for which the gateway is the
same as the host address. This already works fine for INET6 and ND6.

While here, remove two function pointers from struct lltable which are
only initialized but never used.

The statically configured (permanent) ARP entries are removed when an
interface is brought down, even though the interface address is still
valid. This patch maintains the permanent ARP entries as long as the
interface address (having the same prefix as that of the ARP entries)
is valid.

a wider arg2 for sysctl, updates to vlan code, IFT_INFINIBAND,
and other miscellaneous small features.


# 216859 31-Dec-2010 bz

Use NULL rather than 0 to invalidate a pointer.

Rather than duplicating the LLE_FREE_LOCKED() macro code in LLE_FREE(),
call it directly (like we do for the RT_* macros).

# 215207 12-Nov-2010 gnn

Add a queue to hold packets while we await an ARP reply.

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..

# 201282 30-Dec-2009 qingli

The proxy arp entries could not be added into the system over the
IFF_POINTOPOINT link types. The reason was due to the routing
entry returned from the kernel covering the remote end is of an
interface type that does not support ARP. This patch fixes this
problem by providing a hint to the kernel routing code, which
indicates the prefix route instead of the PPP host route should
be returned to the caller. Since a host route to the local end
point is also added into the routing table, and there could be
multiple such instantiations due to multiple PPP links can be
created with the same local end IP address, this patch also fixes
the loopback route installation failure problem observed prior to
this patch. The reference count of loopback route to local end would
be either incremented or decremented. The first instantiation would
create the entry and the last removal would delete the route entry.

# 196535 25-Aug-2009 rwatson

Use locks specific to the lltable code, rather than borrow the ifnet
list/index locks, to protect link layer address tables. This avoids
lock order issues during interface teardown, but maintains the bug that
sysctl copy routines may be called while a non-sleepable lock is held.

When an interface address is removed and the last prefix
route is also being deleted, the link-layer address table
(arp or nd6) will flush those L2 llinfo entries that match
the removed prefix.
