# 337460 08-Aug-2018 ae

MFC r336405:
Move invoking of callout_stop(&lle->lle_timer) into llentry_free().

This deduplicates the code a bit, and also implicitly adds missing
callout_stop() to in[6]_lltable_delete_entry() functions.

MFC r318389 (by emaste):

Remove register keyword from sys/ and ANSIfy prototypes

A long long time ago the register keyword told the compiler to store
the corresponding variable in a CPU register, but it is not relevant
for any compiler used in the FreeBSD world today.

ANSIfy related prototypes while here.

No functional change.


# 292978 31-Dec-2015 melifaro

Implement interface link header precomputation API.

Add if_requestencap() interface method which is capable of calculating
various link headers for given interface. Right now there is support
for INET/INET6/ARP llheader calculation (IFENCAP_LL type request).
Other types are planned to support more complex calculation
(L2 multipath lagg nexthops, tunnel encap nexthops, etc..).

Reshape 'struct route' to be able to pass additional data (with is length)
to prepend to mbuf.

These two changes permits routing code to pass pre-calculated nexthop data
(like L2 header for route w/gateway) down to the stack eliminating the
need for other lookups. It also brings us closer to more complex scenarios
like transparently handling MPLS nexthops and tunnel interfaces.
Last, but not least, it removes layering violation introduced by flowtable
code (ro_lle) and simplifies handling of existing if_output consumers.

ARP/ND changes:
Make arp/ndp stack pre-calculate link header upon installing/updating lle
record. Interface link address change are handled by re-calculating
headers for all lles based on if_lladdr event. After these changes,
arpresolve()/nd6_resolve() returns full pre-calculated header for
supported interfaces thus simplifying if_output().
Move these lookups to separate ether_resolve_addr() function which ether
returs error or fully-prepared link header. Add <arp|nd6_>resolve_addr()
compat versions to return link addresses instead of pre-calculated data.

BPF changes:
Raw bpf writes occupied _two_ cases: AF_UNSPEC and pseudo_AF_HDRCMPLT.
Despite the naming, both of there have ther header "complete". The only
difference is that interface source mac has to be filled by OS for
AF_UNSPEC (controlled via BIOCGHDRCMPLT). This logic has to stay inside
BPF and not pollute if_output() routines. Convert BPF to pass prepend data
via new 'struct route' mechanism. Note that it does not change
non-optimized if_output(): ro_prepend handling is purely optional.
Side note: hackish pseudo_AF_HDRCMPLT is supported for ethernet and FDDI.
It is not needed for ethernet anymore. The only remaining FDDI user is
dev/pdq mostly untouched since 2007. FDDI support was eliminated from
OpenBSD in 2013 (sys/net/if_fddisubr.c rev 1.65).

Flowtable changes:
Flowtable violates layering by saving (and not correctly managing)
rtes/lles. Instead of passing lle pointer, pass pointer to pre-calculated
header data from that lle.

# 292155 13-Dec-2015 melifaro

Remove LLE read lock from IPv6 fast path.

LLE structure is mostly unchanged during its lifecycle: there are only 2
things relevant for fast path lookup code:
1) link-level address change. Since r286722, these updates are performed
under AFDATA WLOCK.
2) Some sort of feedback indicating that this particular entry is used so
we send NS to perform reachability verification instead of expiring entry.
The only signal that is needed from fast path is something like binary
yes/no.
The latter is solved by the following changes:

Special r_skip_req (introduced in D3688) value is used for fast path feedback.
It is read lockless by fast path, but updated under req_mutex mutex. If this
field is non-zero, then fast path will acquire lock and set it back to 0.

After transitioning to STALE state, callout timer is armed to run each
V_nd6_delay seconds to make sure that if packet was transmitted at the start
of given interval, we would be able to switch to PROBE state in V_nd6_delay
seconds as user expects.
(in STALE state) timer is rescheduled until original V_nd6_gctimer expires
keeping lle in STALE state (remaining timer value stored in lle_remtime).
(in STALE state) timer is rescheduled if packet was transmitted less that
V_nd6_delay seconds ago to make sure we transition to PROBE state exactly
after V_n6_delay seconds.

As a result, all packets towards lle in REACHABLE/STALE/PROBE states are handled
by fast path without acquiring lle read lock.

# 291853 05-Dec-2015 melifaro

Remove LLE read lock from IPv4 fast path.

LLE structure is mostly unchanged during its lifecycle.
To be more specific, there are 2 things relevant for fast path
lookup code:
1) link-level address change. Since r286722, these updates are performed
under AFDATA WLOCK.
2) Some sort of feedback indicating that this particular entry is used so
we re-send arp request to perform reachability verification instead of
expiring entry. The only signal that is needed from fast path is something
like binary yes/no.

The latter is solved by the following changes:
1) introduce special r_skip_req field which is read lockless by fast path,
but updated under (new) req_mutex mutex. If this field is non-zero, then
fast path will acquire lock and set it back to 0.
2) introduce simple state machine: incomplete->reachable<->verify->deleted.
Before that we implicitely had incomplete->reachable->deleted state machine,
with V_arpt_keep between "reachable" and "deleted". Verification was performed
in runtime 5 seconds before V_arpt_keep expire.
This is changed to "change state to verify 5 seconds before V_arpt_keep,
set r_skip_req to non-zero value and check it every second". If the value
is zero - then send arp verification probe.
These changes do not introduce any signifficant control plane overhead:
typically lle callout timer would fire 1 time more each V_arpt_keep (1200s)
for used lles and up to arp_maxtries (5) for dead lles.

As a result, all packets towards "reachable" lle are handled by fast path without
acquiring lle read lock.

Additional "req_mutex" is needed because callout / arpresolve_slow() or eventhandler
might keep LLE lock for signifficant amount of time, which might not be feasible
for fast path locking (e.g. having rmlock as ether AFDATA or lltable own lock).

# 290805 13-Nov-2015 rrs

This fixes several places where callout_stops return is examined. The
new return codes of -1 were mistakenly being considered "true". Callout_stop
now returns -1 to indicate the callout had either already completed or
was not running and 0 to indicate it could not be stopped. Also update
the manual page to make it more consistent no non-zero in the callout_stop
or callout_reset descriptions.

# 288301 27-Sep-2015 melifaro

Eliminate nd6_nud_hint() and its TCP bindings.

Initially function was introduced in r53541 (KAME initial commit) to
"provide hints from upper layer protocols that indicate a connection
is making "forward progress"" (quote from RFC 2461 7.3.1 Reachability
Confirmation).
However, it was converted to do nothing (e.g. just return) in r122922
(tcp_hostcache implementation) back in 2003. Some defines were moved
to tcp_var.h in r169541. Then, it was broken (for non-corner cases)
by r186119 (L2<>L3 split) in 2008 (NULL ifp in nd6_lookup). So,
right now this code is broken and has no "real" base users.

# 287318 31-Aug-2015 melifaro

Simplify lla_rt_output()/nd6_add_ifa_lle() by setting lle state in
alloc handler, based on flags.


# 286955 20-Aug-2015 melifaro

* Split allocation and table linking for lle's.
Before that, the logic besides lle_create() was the following:
return existing if found, create if not. This behaviour was error-prone
since we had to deal with 'sudden' static<>dynamic lle changes.
This commit fixes bunch of different issues like:
- refcount leak when lle is converted to static.
Simple check case:
console 1:
while true;
do for i in `arp -an|awk '$4~/incomp/{print$2}'|tr -d '()'`;
do arp -s $i 00:22:44:66:88:00 ; arp -d $i;
done;
done
console 2:
ping -f any-dead-host-in-L2
console 3:
# watch for memory consumption:
vmstat -m | awk '$1~/lltable/{print$2}'
- possible problems in arptimer() / nd6_timer() when dropping/reacquiring
lock.
New logic explicitly handles use-or-create cases in every lla_create
user. Basically, most of the changes are purely mechanical. However,
we explicitly avoid using existing lle's for interface/static LLE records.
* While here, call lle_event handlers on all real table lle change.
* Create lltable_free_entry() calling existing per-lltable

Change certain heavily used network related mutexes and rwlocks to

NB: Those mutexes and rwlocks with variables next to them that get

Actually it may be net negative because two cache misses would be
incurred in those cases.

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.

Fix races between in_lltable_prefix_free(), lla_lookup(),

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.

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..

When installing a new ARP entry via 'arp -S', lla_lookup() will
either find an existing entry, or allocate a new one. In the latter
case an entry would have flags, that were supplied as argument to
lla_lookup(). In case of an existing entry, flags aren't modified.

This lead to losing LLE_PUB and/or LLE_PROXY flags.

We should apply these flags either in lla_rt_output() or in the
in.c:in_lltable_lookup(). It seems to me that lla_rt_output() is
a more correct choice.

Plug reference leaks in the link-layer code ("new-arp") that previously
prevented the link-layer entry from being freed.

In both in.c and in6.c (though that code path seems to be basically dead)
plug a reference leak in case of a pending callout being drained.

In if_ether.c consistently add a reference before resetting the callout
and in case we canceled a pending one remove the reference for that.
In the final case in arptimer, before freeing the expired entry, remove
the reference again and explicitly call callout_stop() to clear the active
flag.

In nd6.c:nd6_free() we are only ever called from the callout function and
thus need to remove the reference there as well before calling into
llentry_free().

In if_llatbl.c when freeing entire tables make sure that in case we cancel
a pending callout to remove the reference as well.

# 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.

# 196864 05-Sep-2009 qingli

This patch fixes the following issues:
- Interface link-local address is not reachable within the
node that owns the interface, this is due to the mismatch
in address scope as the result of the installed interface
address loopback route. Therefore for each interface
address loopback route, the rt_gateway field (of AF_LINK
type) will be used to track which interface a given
address belongs to. This will aid the address source to
use the proper interface for address scope/zone validation.
- The loopback address is not reachable. The root cause is
the same as the above.
- Empty nd6 entries are created for the IPv6 loopback addresses
only for validation reason. Doing so will eliminate as much
of the special case (loopback addresses) handling code
as possible, however, these empty nd6 entries should not
be returned to the userland applications such as the
"ndp" command.
Since both of the above issues contain common files, these
files are committed together.

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.

# 196481 23-Aug-2009 rwatson

Rework global locks for interface list and index management, correcting
several critical bugs, including race conditions and lock order issues:

Replace the single rwlock, ifnet_lock, with two locks, an rwlock and an
sxlock. Either can be held to stablize the lists and indexes, but both
are required to write. This allows the list to be held stable in both
network interrupt contexts and sleepable user threads across sleeping
memory allocations or device driver interactions. As before, writes to
the interface list must occur from sleepable contexts.

Like with r185713 make sure to not leak a lock as rtalloc1(9) returns
a locked route. Thus we have to use RTFREE_LOCKED(9) to get it unlocked
and rtfree(9)d rather than just rtfree(9)d.

Since the PR was filed, new places with the same problem were added
with new code. Also check that the rt is valid before freeing it
either way there.
