# 252555 03-Jul-2013 np

MFC/backport core kernel and userspace parts of r237263 (TCP_OFFLOAD
rework). MFC r237563, r239511, r243603, r245915, r245916, r245919,
r245921, r245922, r245924, r245925, r245932, r245934 too.

Build tested with make universe.

r237263:
- Updated TOE support in the kernel.
...

r237563:
Fix clang warning when compiling iw_cxgb.

r239511:
Correctly handle the case where an inp has already been dropped by the time
the TOE driver reports that an active open failed. toe_connect_failed is
supposed to handle this but it should be provided the inpcb instead of the
tcpcb which may no longer be around.

r243603:
Make sure that tcp_timer_activate() correctly sees TCP_OFFLOAD (or not).

r245915:
Heed SO_NO_OFFLOAD.

r245916:
Teach toe_4tuple_check() to deal with IPv6 4-tuples too.

r245919:
Add TCP_OFFLOAD hook in syncache_respond for IPv6 too, just like the one
that exists for IPv4.

r245921:
There is no need to call into the TOE driver twice in pru_rcvd (tod_rcvd
and then tod_output right after that).

r245922:
Avoid NULL dereference in nd6_storelladdr when no mbuf is provided. It
is called this way from a couple of places in the OFED code. (toecore
calls it too but that's going to change shortly).

r245924:
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.

r245925:
Generate lle_event in the IPv6 neighbor discovery code too.

r245932:
Teach toe_l2_resolve to resolve IPv6 destinations too.

r245934:
Add checks for SO_NO_OFFLOAD in a couple of places that I missed earlier
in r245915.


# 225736 22-Sep-2011 kensmith

Copy head to stable/9 as part of 9.0-RELEASE release cycle.

Approved by: re (implicit)


# 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

Add CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol), which allows multiple
hosts to share an IP address, providing high availability and load
balancing.

Original work on CARP done by Michael Shalayeff, with many
additions by Marco Pfatschbacher and Ryan McBride.

FreeBSD port done solely by Max Laier.

# 127828 04-Apr-2004 luigi

+ arpresolve(): remove an unused argument
+ struct ifnet: remove unused fields, move ipv6-related field close
to each other, add a pointer to l3<->l2 translation tables (arp,nd6,
etc.) for future use.

+ struct route: remove an unused field, move close to each
other some fields that might likely go away in the future


# 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.

# 55205 29-Dec-1999 peter

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>.


# 22975 22-Feb-1997 peter

Back out part 1 of the MCFH that changed $Id$ to $FreeBSD$. We are not
ready for it yet.


# 21673 14-Jan-1997 jkh

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

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).


# 21260 03-Jan-1997 wollman

Move the ethertypes from <netinet/if_ether.h> to <net/ethernet.h>.
Many programs need the numbers but don't need the internals of ARP.

More commits to follow...


# 20330 11-Dec-1996 wollman

Include <net/if_arp.h> in the one header that requires it,
<netinet/if_ether.h>, rather than in <net/if.h>, most of whose callers
have no need of it.

# 17455 06-Aug-1996 phk

Megacommit to straigthen out ETHER_ mess.

I'm pretty convinced after looking at this that the majority of our
drivers are confused about the in/exclusion of ETHER_CRC_LEN :-(


# 14761 22-Mar-1996 fenner

Send ARP's for aliased subnets with the proper source address.
Get rid of ac->ac_ipaddr and arpwhohas() since they assume that
an interface has only one address.

# 12693 09-Dec-1995 phk

Remove old ballast, clean up a little bit, staticize.
Add five sysctl variables that you should probably never tweak.
net.arp.t_prune: 300
net.arp.t_keep: 1200
net.arp.t_down: 20
net.arp.maxtries: 5
net.arp.useloopback: 1
net.arp.proxyall: 0

(It's net.arp because arp isn't limited to inet, though our present
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 world. (This dates back to when ARP entries were not stored in
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.)


# 10938 21-Sep-1995 wollman

# 7575 01-Apr-1995 wpaul

# 5196 22-Dec-1994 wollman

# 5195 22-Dec-1994 wollman

Move ARP interface initialization into if_ether.c:arp_ifinit().


# 3514 11-Oct-1994 wollman

Fix a bug which caused panics when attempting to change just the flags of
a route. (This still doesn't work, but it doesn't panic now.) It looks
like there may be a number of incipient bugs in this code.

Also, get ready for the time when all IP gateway routes are cloning, which
is necessary to keep proper TCP statistics.


# 2169 21-Aug-1994 paul

Made idempotent.

# 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.
