# 249925 26-Apr-2013 glebius

Add const qualifier to the dst parameter of the ifnet if_output method.


# 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.

# 237263 19-Jun-2012 np

- Updated TOE support in the kernel.

- Stateful TCP offload drivers for Terminator 3 and 4 (T3 and T4) ASICs.
These are available as t3_tom and t4_tom modules that augment cxgb(4)
and cxgbe(4) respectively. The cxgb/cxgbe drivers continue to work as
usual with or without these extra features.

- iWARP driver for Terminator 3 ASIC (kernel verbs). T4 iWARP in the
works and will follow soon.

Build-tested with make universe.

30s overview
============
What interfaces support TCP offload? Look for TOE4 and/or TOE6 in the
capabilities of an interface:
# ifconfig -m | grep TOE

Enable/disable TCP offload on an interface (just like any other ifnet
capability):
# ifconfig cxgbe0 toe
# ifconfig cxgbe0 -toe

Which connections are offloaded? Look for toe4 and/or toe6 in the
output of netstat and sockstat:
# netstat -np tcp | grep toe
# sockstat -46c | grep toe

# 229810 08-Jan-2012 glebius

Move arprequest() declaration to if_ether.h.


# 228571 16-Dec-2011 glebius

A major overhaul of the CARP implementation. The ip_carp.c was started
from scratch, copying needed functionality from the old implemenation
on demand, with a thorough review of all code. The main change is that
interface layer has been removed from the CARP. Now redundant addresses
are configured exactly on the interfaces, they run on.

The CARP configuration itself is, as before, configured and read via
SIOCSVH/SIOCGVH ioctls. A new prefix created with SIOCAIFADDR or
SIOCAIFADDR_IN6 may now be configured to a particular virtual host id,
which makes the prefix redundant.

ifconfig(8) semantics has been changed too: now one doesn't need
to clone carpXX interface, he/she should directly configure a vhid
on a Ethernet interface.

To supply vhid data from the kernel to an application the getifaddrs(8)
function had been changed to pass ifam_data with each address. [1]

The new implementation definitely closes all PRs related to carp(4)
being an interface, and may close several others. It also allows
to run a single redundant IP per interface.

Big thanks to Bjoern Zeeb for his help with inet6 part of patch, for
idea on using ifam_data and for several rounds of reviewing!

# 196995 08-Sep-2009 np

Add arp_update_event. This replaces route_arp_update_event, which
has not worked since the arp-v2 rewrite.

The event handler will be called with the llentry write-locked and
can examine la_flags to determine whether the entry is being added
or removed.

# 188672 16-Feb-2009 luigi

remove dependency on net/if.h of this header


# 186119 15-Dec-2008 qingli

This main goals of this project are:
1. separating L2 tables (ARP, NDP) from the L3 routing tables
2. removing as much locking dependencies among these layers as
possible to allow for some parallelism in the search operations
3. simplify the logic in the routing code,

The most notable end result is the obsolescent of the route
cloning (RTF_CLONING) concept, which translated into code reduction
in both IPv4 ARP and IPv6 NDP related modules, and size reduction in
struct rtentry{}. The change in design obsoletes the semantics of
RTF_CLONING, RTF_WASCLONE and RTF_LLINFO routing flags. The userland
applications such as "arp" and "ndp" have been modified to reflect
those changes. The output from "netstat -r" shows only the routing
entries.

Quite a few developers have contributed to this project in the
past: Glebius Smirnoff, Luigi Rizzo, Alessandro Cerri, and
Andre Oppermann. And most recently:

- Kip Macy revised the locking code completely, thus completing
the last piece of the puzzle, Kip has also been conducting
active functional testing
- Sam Leffler has helped me improving/refactoring the code, and
provided valuable reviews
- Julian Elischer setup the perforce tree for me and has helped
me maintaining that branch before the svn conversion


# 175025 31-Dec-2007 julian

Don't duplicate the whole of arpresolve to arpresolve 2 for the sake
of two compares against 0. The negative effect of cache flushing
is probably more than the gain by not doing the two compares (the
value is almost certainly in register or at worst, cache).
Note that the uses of m_freem() are in error cases and m_freem()
handles NULL anyhow. So fast-path really isn't changed much at all.


# 174703 17-Dec-2007 kmacy

widen the routing event interface (arp update, redirect, and eventually pmtu change)
into separate functions

revert previous commit's changes to arpresolve and add a new interface
arpresolve2 which does arp resolution without an mbuf


# 142215 22-Feb-2005 glebius

# 111888 04-Mar-2003 jlemon

Update netisr handling; Each SWI now registers its queue, and all queue
drain routines are done by swi_net, which allows for better queue control
at some future point. Packets may also be directly dispatched to a netisr
instead of queued, this may be of interest at some installations, but
currently defaults to off.

Change #ifdef KERNEL to #ifdef _KERNEL in the public headers. "KERNEL"
is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free
to use it as they please (but cannot). This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago. More commits to come.

Make INET a proper option.

This will not make any of object files that LINT create change; there
might be differences with INET disabled, but hardly anything compiled
before without INET anyway. Now the 'obvious' things will give a
proper error if compiled without inet - ipx_ip, ipfw, tcp_debug. The
only thing that _should_ work (but can't be made to compile reasonably
easily) is sppp :-(

This commit move struct arpcom from <netinet/if_ether.h> to
<net/if_arp.h>.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.


# 21666 13-Jan-1997 wollman

Use the new if_multiaddrs list for multicast addresses rather than the
previous hackery involving struct in_ifaddr and arpcom. Get rid of the
abominable multi_kludge. Update all network interfaces to use the
new machanism. Distressingly few Ethernet drivers program the multicast
filter properly (assuming the hardware has one, which it usually does).

net.arp.t_down: 20
net.arp.maxtries: 5
net.arp.useloopback: 1

implementation surely is).


# 12628 05-Dec-1995 dg

all:
Removed ifnet.if_init and ifnet.if_reset as they are generally unused.
Change the parameter passed to if_watchdog to be a ifnet * rather than
a unit number. All of this is an attempt to move toward not needing an
array of softc pointers (which is usually static in size) to point to
the driver softc.

if_ed.c:
Changed some of the argument passing to some functions to make a little
more sense.

if_ep.c, if_vx.c:
Killed completely bogus use of if_timer. It was being set in such a way
that the interface was being reset once per second (blech!).


# 11225 05-Oct-1995 wollman

Convert ARP to use queue.h macros rather than insque/remque. While
we're at it, eliminate obsolete exposure of `struct llinfo_arp' to

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.)

# 2112 18-Aug-1994 wollman

Fix up some sloppy coding practices:

- 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.
