# 252511 02-Jul-2013 hrs

- Allow ND6_IFF_AUTO_LINKLOCAL for IFT_BRIDGE. An interface with IFT_BRIDGE
is initialized with !ND6_IFF_AUTO_LINKLOCAL && !ND6_IFF_ACCEPT_RTADV
regardless of net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv and net.inet6.ip6.auto_linklocal.
To configure an autoconfigured link-local address (RFC 4862), the
following rc.conf(5) configuration can be used:

ifconfig_bridge0_ipv6="inet6 auto_linklocal"

- if_bridge(4) now removes IPv6 addresses on a member interface to be
added when the parent interface or one of the existing member
interfaces has an IPv6 address. if_bridge(4) merges each link-local
scope zone which the member interfaces form respectively, so it causes
address scope violation. Removal of the IPv6 addresses prevents it.

- if_lagg(4) now removes IPv6 addresses on a member interfaces
unconditionally.

- Set reasonable flags to non-IPv6-capable interfaces. [*]

# 228768 21-Dec-2011 glebius

Provide ABI compatibility shim to enable configuring of addresses
with ifconfig(8) prior to r228571.

Requested by: brooks


# 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!

"Whitspace" churn after the VIMAGE/VNET whirls.

Remove the need for some "init" functions within the network
stack, like pim6_init(), icmp_init() or significantly shorten
others like ip6_init() and nd6_init(), using static initialization
again where possible and formerly missed.

Move (most) variables back to the place they used to be before the
container structs and VIMAGE_GLOABLS (before r185088) and try to
reduce the diff to stable/7 and earlier as good as possible,
to help out-of-tree consumers to update from 6.x or 7.x to 8 or 9.

This also removes some header file pollution for putatively
static global variables.

Revert VIMAGE specific changes in ipfilter::ip_auth.c, that are
no longer needed.

# 195699 14-Jul-2009 rwatson

Build on Jeff Roberson's linker-set based dynamic per-CPU allocator
(DPCPU), as suggested by Peter Wemm, and implement a new per-virtual
network stack memory allocator. Modify vnet to use the allocator
instead of monolithic global container structures (vinet, ...). This
change solves many binary compatibility problems associated with
VIMAGE, and restores ELF symbols for virtualized global variables.

Each virtualized global variable exists as a "reference copy", and also
once per virtual network stack. Virtualized global variables are
tagged at compile-time, placing the in a special linker set, which is
loaded into a contiguous region of kernel memory. Virtualized global
variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules
are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet
region with the help of a the kernel linker.

Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the
network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from
the reference copy. Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which
converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet
address. When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal
global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided.

This change restores static initialization for network stack global
variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates
the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem
structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for
monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the
per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the
need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate
definitions of virtualized globals under VIMAGE_GLOBALS.

Bump __FreeBSD_version and update UPDATING.

# 194760 23-Jun-2009 rwatson

Modify most routines returning 'struct ifaddr *' to return references
rather than pointers, requiring callers to properly dispose of those
references. The following routines now return references:

ifaddr_byindex
ifa_ifwithaddr
ifa_ifwithbroadaddr
ifa_ifwithdstaddr
ifa_ifwithnet
ifaof_ifpforaddr
ifa_ifwithroute
ifa_ifwithroute_fib

IFP_TO_IA
ip_rtaddr
in6_ifawithifp
in6ifa_ifpforlinklocal
in6ifa_ifpwithaddr
in6_ifadd
carp_iamatch6
ip6_getdstifaddr

Remove unused macro which didn't have required referencing:

IFP_TO_IA6

This closes many small races in which changes to interface
or address lists while an ifaddr was in use could lead to use of freed
memory (etc). In a few cases, add missing if_addr_list locking
required to safely acquire references.

Because of a lack of deep copying support, we accept a race in which
an in6_ifaddr pointed to by mbuf tags and extracted with
ip6_getdstifaddr() doesn't hold a reference while in transmit. Once
we have mbuf tag deep copy support, this can be fixed.

# 191672 29-Apr-2009 bms

Bite the bullet, and make the IPv6 SSM and MLDv2 mega-commit:
import from p4 bms_netdev. Summary of changes:

* Connect netinet6/in6_mcast.c to build.
The legacy KAME KPIs are mostly preserved.
* Eliminate now dead code from ip6_output.c.
Don't do mbuf bingo, we are not going to do RFC 2292 style
CMSG tricks for multicast options as they are not required
by any current IPv6 normative reference.
* Refactor transports (UDP, raw_ip6) to do own mcast filtering.
SCTP, TCP unaffected by this change.
* Add ip6_msource, in6_msource structs to in6_var.h.
* Hookup mld_ifinfo state to in6_ifextra, allocate from
domifattach path.
* Eliminate IN6_LOOKUP_MULTI(), it is no longer referenced.
Kernel consumers which need this should use in6m_lookup().
* Refactor IPv6 socket group memberships to use a vector (like IPv4).
* Update ifmcstat(8) for IPv6 SSM.
* Add witness lock order for IN6_MULTI_LOCK.
* Move IN6_MULTI_LOCK out of lower ip6_output()/ip6_input() paths.
* Introduce IP6STAT_ADD/SUB/INC/DEC as per rwatson's IPv4 cleanup.
* Update carp(4) for new IPv6 SSM KPIs.
* Virtualize ip6_mrouter socket.
Changes mostly localized to IPv6 MROUTING.
* Don't do a local group lookup in MROUTING.
* Kill unused KAME prototypes in6_purgemkludge(), in6_restoremkludge().
* Preserve KAME DAD timer jitter behaviour in MLDv1 compatibility mode.
* Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800084.
* Update UPDATING.

NOTE WELL:
* This code hasn't been tested against real MLDv2 queriers
(yet), although the on-wire protocol has been verified in Wireshark.
* There are a few unresolved issues in the socket layer APIs to
do with scope ID propagation.
* There is a LOR present in ip6_output()'s use of
in6_setscope() which needs to be resolved. See comments in mld6.c.
This is believed to be benign and can't be avoided for the moment
without re-introducing an indirect netisr.

# 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

There is a consensus that ifaddr.ifa_addr should never be NULL,
except in places dealing with ifaddr creation or destruction; and
in such special places incomplete ifaddrs should never be linked

scope cleanup. with this change
- most of the kernel code will not care about the actual encoding of
scope zone IDs and won't touch "s6_addr16[1]" directly.
- similarly, most of the kernel code will not care about link-local
scoped addresses as a special case.
- scope boundary check will be stricter. For example, the current
*BSD code allows a packet with src=::1 and dst=(some global IPv6
address) to be sent outside of the node, if the application do:
s = socket(AF_INET6);
bind(s, "::1");
sendto(s, some_global_IPv6_addr);
This is clearly wrong, since ::1 is only meaningful within a single
node, but the current implementation of the *BSD kernel cannot
reject this attempt.
