MFC r296063 r297397 r299213

296063:
Lock the NDP default router list and count defrouter references.

This addresses a number of race conditions that can cause crashes as a
result of unsynchronized access to the list.

297397
Modify nd6_llinfo_timer() to acquire the nd6 lock before the LLE lock.

When expiring a neighbour cache entry we may need to look up the associated
default router, which requires the nd6 read lock. To avoid an LOR, the nd6
lock should be acquired first.

299213
Clean up callers of nd6_prelist_add().

nd6_prelist_add() sets *newp if and only if it is successful, so there's no
need for code that handles the case where the return value is 0 and
*newp == NULL. Fix some style bugs in nd6_prelist_add() while here.

# 299145 05-May-2016 markj

MFC r295583, r295584, r295729, r295730:
NDP code cleanup changes.

MFC r295732:
Fix an IPv6 DAD reference count leak.


# 299014 03-May-2016 markj

MFC r295575, r295576, r295578, r295579, r295580:
Various NDP cleanups. No functional change intended.


# 290348 03-Nov-2015 hrs

MFC r288600:

- Schedule DAD for IN6_IFF_TENTATIVE addresses in nd6_timer(). This
catches cases that DAD probes cannot be sent because of
IFF_UP && !IFF_DRV_RUNNING.

- nd6_dad_starttimer() now calls nd6_dad_ns_output(), instead of
calling it before nd6_dad_starttimer().

- Do not release an entry in dadq when a duplicate entry is being
added.


# 287734 13-Sep-2015 hrs

MFC 287094:

- Deprecate IN6_IFF_NODAD. It was used to prevent DAD on a loopback
interface but in6if_do_dad() already had a check for IFF_LOOPBACK.

- Remove in6if_do_dad() check in in6_broadcast_ifa(). An address
which needs DAD always has IN6_IFF_TENTATIVE there.

- in6if_do_dad() now returns EAGAIN when the interface is not ready
since DAD callout handler ignores such an interface.

- In DAD callout handler, mark an address as IN6_IFF_TENTATIVE
when the interface has ND6_IFF_IFDISABLED. And Do IFF_UP and
IFF_DRV_RUNNING check consistently when DAD is required.

- draft-ietf-6man-enhanced-dad is now published as RFC 7527.

- Fix some typos.


# 285825 23-Jul-2015 hrs

MFC r282805:

- Remove ND6_IFF_IGNORELOOP. This functionality was useless in practice
because a link where looped back NS messages are permanently observed
does not work with either NDP or ARP for IPv4.

- draft-ietf-6man-enhanced-dad is now RFC 7527.

A bunch of IPv6 fixes by melifaro, hrs and ae

Major changes:
Simplify nd6_output_lle()
Add refcounting to DAD and fix races and other errors
Implement Enhanced DAD algorithm for IPv6

# 281866 22-Apr-2015 ae

MFC r281309:
Fix the check for maximum mbuf's size needed to send ND6 NA and NS.
It is acceptable that the size can be equal to MCLBYTES. In the later
KAME's code this check has been moved under DIAGNOSTIC ifdef, because
the size of NA and NS is much smaller than MCLBYTES. So, it is safe to
replace the check with KASSERT.

PR: 199304


# 280705 26-Mar-2015 ae

MFC r280236:
To avoid a possible race, release the reference to ifa after return
from nd6_dad_na_input().


# 272857 09-Oct-2014 hrs

MFC r266248:

Cancel DAD for an ifa when the ifp has ND6_IFF_IFDISABLED as early as
possible and do not clear IN6_IFF_TENTATIVE. If IFDISABLED was accidentally
set after a DAD started, TENTATIVE could be cleared because no NA was
received due to IFDISABLED, and as a result it could prevent DAD when
manually clearing IFDISABLED after that.


# 272847 09-Oct-2014 hrs

MFC r266857:

- Add rwlock to struct dadq. A panic could occur when a large number of
addresses performed DAD at the same time.


# 270923 01-Sep-2014 ae

MFC r257985:
Fix panic with RADIX_MPATH, when RTFREE_LOCKED() called for already
unlocked route. Use in6_rtalloc() instead of in6_rtalloc1. This helps
simplify the code and remove several now unused variables.

# 260504 10-Jan-2014 ae

MFC r260151 (by adrian):
Use an RLOCK here instead of an RWLOCK - matching all the other calls
to lla_lookup().

This drastically reduces the very high lock contention when doing parallel
TCP throughput tests (> 1024 sockets) with IPv6.

MFC r260187:
lla_lookup() does modification only when LLE_CREATE is specified.
Thus we can use IF_AFDATA_RLOCK() instead of IF_AFDATA_LOCK() when doing
lla_lookup() without LLE_CREATE flag.

MFC r260217:
Add IF_AFDATA_WLOCK_ASSERT() in case lla_lookup() is called with
LLE_CREATE flag.
