# 256281 10-Oct-2013 gjb

# 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.


# 249318 09-Apr-2013 andre

Change certain heavily used network related mutexes and rwlocks to
reside on their own cache line to prevent false sharing with other
nearby structures, especially for those in the .bss segment.

NB: Those mutexes and rwlocks with variables next to them that get
changed on every invocation do not benefit from their own cache line.
Actually it may be net negative because two cache misses would be
incurred in those cases.


# 185571 02-Dec-2008 bz

Rather than using hidden includes (with cicular dependencies),
directly include only the header files needed. This reduces the
unneeded spamming of various headers into lots of files.

For now, this leaves us with very few modules including vnet.h
and thus needing to depend on opt_route.h.

# 185419 28-Nov-2008 zec

Unhide declarations of network stack virtualization structs from
underneath #ifdef VIMAGE blocks.

This change introduces some churn in #include ordering and nesting
throughout the network stack and drivers but is not expected to cause
any additional issues.

In the next step this will allow us to instantiate the virtualization
container structures and switch from using global variables to their
"containerized" counterparts.

# 176042 06-Feb-2008 silby

Replace the random IP ID generation code we
obtained from OpenBSD with an algorithm suggested
by Amit Klein. The OpenBSD algorithm has a few
flaws; see Amit's paper for more information.

For a description of how this algorithm works,
please see the comments within the code.

Note that this commit does not yet enable random IP ID
generation by default. There are still some concerns
that doing so will adversely affect performance.

Add FBSDID to all files in netinet so that people can more
easily include file version information in bug reports.

Approved by: re (kensmith)


# 169467 11-May-2007 rwatson

Minor white space and style cleanups.


# 139823 06-Jan-2005 imp

/* -> /*- for license, minor formatting changes


# 133874 16-Aug-2004 rwatson

White space cleanup for netinet before branch:

- Trailing tab/space cleanup
- Remove spurious spaces between or before tabs

This change avoids touching files that Andre likely has in his working
set for PFIL hooks changes for IPFW/DUMMYNET.

# 133720 14-Aug-2004 dwmalone

Get rid of the RANDOM_IP_ID option and make it a sysctl. NetBSD
have already done this, so I have styled the patch on their work:

1) introduce a ip_newid() static inline function that checks
the sysctl and then decides if it should return a sequential
or random IP ID.

2) named the sysctl net.inet.ip.random_id

3) IPv6 flow IDs and fragment IDs are now always random.
Flow IDs and frag IDs are significantly less common in the
IPv6 world (ie. rarely generated per-packet), so there should
be smaller performance concerns.

The sysctl defaults to 0 (sequential IP IDs).

# 126263 26-Feb-2004 mlaier

Tweak existing header and other build infrastructure to be able to build
pf/pflog/pfsync as modules. Do not list them in NOTES or modules/Makefile
(i.e. do not connect it to any (automatic) builds - yet).

MFp4: reminder that random id code is not reentrant

# 92723 19-Mar-2002 alfred

Remove __P.


# 77574 01-Jun-2001 kris

Add ``options RANDOM_IP_ID'' which randomizes the ID field of IP packets.
This closes a minor information leak which allows a remote observer to
determine the rate at which the machine is generating packets, since the
default behaviour is to increment a counter for each packet sent.
