IPv4 multicast: fix netstat -g

The vif structure includes fields at the end which are #ifdef KERNEL,
causing a mismatch between the structure sizes between kernel and
user level. netstat -g failed with an ENOMEM on the sysctl to fetch
the vif table. Change the vif sysctl code in ip_mroute to copy out
only the user-level-visible portion of each table entry.

ip_mroute: rework ip_mroute

Approved by: mw

Sponsored by: Stormshield
Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D30354

Changes:
1. add spinlock to bw_meter

If two contexts read and modify bw_meter values
it might happen that these are corrupted.
Guard only code fragments which do read-and-modify.
Context which only do "reads" are not done inside
spinlock block. The only sideffect that can happen is
an 1-p;acket outdated value reported back to userspace.

2. replace all locks with a single RWLOCK

Multiple locks caused a performance issue in routing
hot path, when two of them had to be taken. All locks
were replaced with single RWLOCK which makes the hot
path able to take only shared access to lock most of
the times.
All configuration routines have to take exclusive lock
(as it was done before) but these operation are very rare
compared to packet routing.

3. redesign MFC expire and UPCALL expire

Use generic kthread and cv_wait/cv_signal for deferring
work. Previously, upcalls could be sent from two contexts
which complicated the design. All upcall sending is now
done in a kthread which allows hot path to work more
efficient in some rare cases.

4. replace mutex-guarded linked list with lock free buf_ring

All message and data is now passed over lockless buf_ring.
This allowed to remove some heavy locking when linked
lists were used.

# 443fc317 18-Mar-2009 Bruce M Simpson <bms@FreeBSD.org>

Introduce a number of changes to the MROUTING code.
This is purely a forwarding plane cleanup; no control plane
code is involved.

Summary:
* Split IPv4 and IPv6 MROUTING support. The static compile-time
kernel option remains the same, however, the modules may now
be built for IPv4 and IPv6 separately as ip_mroute_mod and
ip6_mroute_mod.
* Clean up the IPv4 multicast forwarding code to use BSD queue
and hash table constructs. Don't build our own timer abstractions
when ratecheck() and timevalclear() etc will do.
* Expose the multicast forwarding cache (MFC) and virtual interface
table (VIF) as sysctls, to reduce netstat's dependence on libkvm
for this information for running kernels.
* bandwidth meters however still require libkvm.
* Make the MFC hash table size a boot/load-time tunable ULONG,
net.inet.ip.mfchashsize (defaults to 256).
* Remove unused members from struct vif and struct mfc.
* Kill RSVP support, as no current RSVP implementation uses it.
These stubs could be moved to raw_ip.c.
* Don't share locks or initialization between IPv4 and IPv6.
* Don't use a static struct route_in6 in ip6_mroute.c.
The v6 code is still using a cached struct route_in6, this is
moved to mif6 for the time being.
* More cleanup remains to be merged from ip_mroute.c to ip6_mroute.c.

v4 path tested using ports/net/mcast-tools.
v6 changes are mostly mechanical locking and *have not* been tested.
As these changes partially break some kernel ABIs, they will not
be MFCed. There is a lot more work to be done here.

# 8b07e49a 09-May-2008 Julian Elischer <julian@FreeBSD.org>

Add code to allow the system to handle multiple routing tables.
This particular implementation is designed to be fully backwards compatible
and to be MFC-able to 7.x (and 6.x)

Currently the only protocol that can make use of the multiple tables is IPv4
Similar functionality exists in OpenBSD and Linux.

From my notes:

-----

One thing where FreeBSD has been falling behind, and which by chance I
have some time to work on is "policy based routing", which allows
different
packet streams to be routed by more than just the destination address.

Constraints:
------------

I want to make some form of this available in the 6.x tree
(and by extension 7.x) , but FreeBSD in general needs it so I might as
well do it in -current and back port the portions I need.

One of the ways that this can be done is to have the ability to
instantiate multiple kernel routing tables (which I will now
refer to as "Forwarding Information Bases" or "FIBs" for political
correctness reasons). Which FIB a particular packet uses to make
the next hop decision can be decided by a number of mechanisms.
The policies these mechanisms implement are the "Policies" referred
to in "Policy based routing".

One of the constraints I have if I try to back port this work to
6.x is that it must be implemented as a EXTENSION to the existing
ABIs in 6.x so that third party applications do not need to be
recompiled in timespan of the branch.

This first version will not have some of the bells and whistles that
will come with later versions. It will, for example, be limited to 16
tables in the first commit.
Implementation method, Compatible version. (part 1)
-------------------------------
For this reason I have implemented a "sufficient subset" of a
multiple routing table solution in Perforce, and back-ported it
to 6.x. (also in Perforce though not always caught up with what I
have done in -current/P4). The subset allows a number of FIBs
to be defined at compile time (8 is sufficient for my purposes in 6.x)
and implements the changes needed to allow IPV4 to use them. I have not
done the changes for ipv6 simply because I do not need it, and I do not
have enough knowledge of ipv6 (e.g. neighbor discovery) needed to do it.

Other protocol families are left untouched and should there be
users with proprietary protocol families, they should continue to work
and be oblivious to the existence of the extra FIBs.

To understand how this is done, one must know that the current FIB
code starts everything off with a single dimensional array of
pointers to FIB head structures (One per protocol family), each of
which in turn points to the trie of routes available to that family.

The basic change in the ABI compatible version of the change is to
extent that array to be a 2 dimensional array, so that
instead of protocol family X looking at rt_tables[X] for the
table it needs, it looks at rt_tables[Y][X] when for all
protocol families except ipv4 Y is always 0.
Code that is unaware of the change always just sees the first row
of the table, which of course looks just like the one dimensional
array that existed before.

The entry points rtrequest(), rtalloc(), rtalloc1(), rtalloc_ign()
are all maintained, but refer only to the first row of the array,
so that existing callers in proprietary protocols can continue to
do the "right thing".
Some new entry points are added, for the exclusive use of ipv4 code
called in_rtrequest(), in_rtalloc(), in_rtalloc1() and in_rtalloc_ign(),
which have an extra argument which refers the code to the correct row.

In addition, there are some new entry points (currently called
rtalloc_fib() and friends) that check the Address family being
looked up and call either rtalloc() (and friends) if the protocol
is not IPv4 forcing the action to row 0 or to the appropriate row
if it IS IPv4 (and that info is available). These are for calling
from code that is not specific to any particular protocol. The way
these are implemented would change in the non ABI preserving code
to be added later.

One feature of the first version of the code is that for ipv4,
the interface routes show up automatically on all the FIBs, so
that no matter what FIB you select you always have the basic
direct attached hosts available to you. (rtinit() does this
automatically).

You CAN delete an interface route from one FIB should you want
to but by default it's there. ARP information is also available
in each FIB. It's assumed that the same machine would have the
same MAC address, regardless of which FIB you are using to get
to it.

This brings us as to how the correct FIB is selected for an outgoing
IPV4 packet.

Firstly, all packets have a FIB associated with them. if nothing
has been done to change it, it will be FIB 0. The FIB is changed
in the following ways.

Packets fall into one of a number of classes.

1/ locally generated packets, coming from a socket/PCB.
Such packets select a FIB from a number associated with the
socket/PCB. This in turn is inherited from the process,
but can be changed by a socket option. The process in turn
inherits it on fork. I have written a utility call setfib
that acts a bit like nice..

setfib -3 ping target.example.com # will use fib 3 for ping.

It is an obvious extension to make it a property of a jail
but I have not done so. It can be achieved by combining the setfib and
jail commands.

2/ packets received on an interface for forwarding.
By default these packets would use table 0,
(or possibly a number settable in a sysctl(not yet)).
but prior to routing the firewall can inspect them (see below).
(possibly in the future you may be able to associate a FIB
with packets received on an interface.. An ifconfig arg, but not yet.)

3/ packets inspected by a packet classifier, which can arbitrarily
associate a fib with it on a packet by packet basis.
A fib assigned to a packet by a packet classifier
(such as ipfw) would over-ride a fib associated by
a more default source. (such as cases 1 or 2).

4/ a tcp listen socket associated with a fib will generate
accept sockets that are associated with that same fib.

5/ Packets generated in response to some other packet (e.g. reset
or icmp packets). These should use the FIB associated with the
packet being reponded to.

6/ Packets generated during encapsulation.
gif, tun and other tunnel interfaces will encapsulate using the FIB
that was in effect withthe proces that set up the tunnel.
thus setfib 1 ifconfig gif0 [tunnel instructions]
will set the fib for the tunnel to use to be fib 1.

Routing messages would be associated with their
process, and thus select one FIB or another.
messages from the kernel would be associated with the fib they
refer to and would only be received by a routing socket associated
with that fib. (not yet implemented)

In addition Netstat has been edited to be able to cope with the
fact that the array is now 2 dimensional. (It looks in system
memory using libkvm (!)). Old versions of netstat see only the first FIB.

In addition two sysctls are added to give:
a) the number of FIBs compiled in (active)
b) the default FIB of the calling process.

Early testing experience:
-------------------------

Basically our (IronPort's) appliance does this functionality already
using ipfw fwd but that method has some drawbacks.

For example,
It can't fully simulate a routing table because it can't influence the
socket's choice of local address when a connect() is done.

Testing during the generating of these changes has been
remarkably smooth so far. Multiple tables have co-existed
with no notable side effects, and packets have been routes
accordingly.

ipfw has grown 2 new keywords:

setfib N ip from anay to any
count ip from any to any fib N

In pf there seems to be a requirement to be able to give symbolic names to the
fibs but I do not have that capacity. I am not sure if it is required.

SCTP has interestingly enough built in support for this, called VRFs
in Cisco parlance. it will be interesting to see how that handles it
when it suddenly actually does something.

Where to next:
--------------------

After committing the ABI compatible version and MFCing it, I'd
like to proceed in a forward direction in -current. this will
result in some roto-tilling in the routing code.

Firstly: the current code's idea of having a separate tree per
protocol family, all of the same format, and pointed to by the
1 dimensional array is a bit silly. Especially when one considers that
there is code that makes assumptions about every protocol having the
same internal structures there. Some protocols don't WANT that
sort of structure. (for example the whole idea of a netmask is foreign
to appletalk). This needs to be made opaque to the external code.

My suggested first change is to add routing method pointers to the
'domain' structure, along with information pointing the data.
instead of having an array of pointers to uniform structures,
there would be an array pointing to the 'domain' structures
for each protocol address domain (protocol family),
and the methods this reached would be called. The methods would have
an argument that gives FIB number, but the protocol would be free
to ignore it.

When the ABI can be changed it raises the possibilty of the
addition of a fib entry into the "struct route". Currently,
the structure contains the sockaddr of the desination, and the resulting
fib entry. To make this work fully, one could add a fib number
so that given an address and a fib, one can find the third element, the
fib entry.

Interaction with the ARP layer/ LL layer would need to be
revisited as well. Qing Li has been working on this already.

Massive cleanup of the ip_mroute code.

No functional changes, but:

+ the mrouting module now should behave the same as the compiled-in
version (it did not before, some of the rsvp code was not loaded
properly);
+ netinet/ip_mroute.c is now truly optional;
+ removed some redundant/unused code;
+ changed many instances of '0' to NULL and INADDR_ANY as appropriate;
+ removed several static variables to make the code more SMP-friendly;
+ fixed some minor bugs in the mrouting code (mostly, incorrect return
values from functions).

This commit is also a prerequisite to the addition of support for PIM,
which i would like to put in before DP2 (it does not change any of
the existing APIs, anyways).

Note, in the process we found out that some device drivers fail to
properly handle changes in IFF_ALLMULTI, leading to interesting
behaviour when a multicast router is started. This bug is not
corrected by this commit, and will be fixed with a separate commit.

Detailed changes:
--------------------
netinet/ip_mroute.c all the above.
conf/files make ip_mroute.c optional
net/route.c fix mrt_ioctl hook
netinet/ip_input.c fix ip_mforward hook, move rsvp_input() here
together with other rsvp code, and a couple
of indentation fixes.

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


# 1130b656 14-Jan-1997 Jordan K. Hubbard <jkh@FreeBSD.org>

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.


# c41ac002 03-Jan-1997 Garrett Wollman <wollman@FreeBSD.org>

Expose more of these structures to tthe user so that netstat
doesn't walk around with its KERNEL exposed.

More commits to follow...


# ce7609a4 02-Dec-1995 Bruce Evans <bde@FreeBSD.org>

Completed function declarations and/or added prototypes.


# efe4b0eb 21-Sep-1995 Garrett Wollman <wollman@FreeBSD.org>

Second try: get 4.4-Lite-2 into the source tree. The conflicts don't
matter because none of our working source files are on the CSRG branch
any more.

Obtained from: 4.4BSD-Lite-2


# 6adca7ad 23-Aug-1995 Garrett Wollman <wollman@FreeBSD.org>

Fix some problems with multicast forwarding:

Garrett,

Here are some patches for the rate limiting code. It should be faster,
and in particular it doesn't leak malloc'd memory any more when rate_limit'ing
a phyint.

It now uses an mbuf chain at each vif, instead of the static queue array.
This means that the MAXQSIZE is now variable per vif (although there is no
interface to change it other than a debugger); this is an area for more
experimentation.

# 1c5de19a 13-Jun-1995 Garrett Wollman <wollman@FreeBSD.org>

Kernel side of 3.5 multicast routing code, based on work by Bill Fenner
and other work done here. The LKM support is probably broken, but it
still compiles and will be fixed later.


# 9b2e5354 30-May-1995 Rodney W. Grimes <rgrimes@FreeBSD.org>

Remove trailing whitespace.


# b5e8ce9f 16-Mar-1995 Bruce Evans <bde@FreeBSD.org>

Add and move declarations to fix all of the warnings from `gcc -Wimplicit'
(except in netccitt, netiso and netns) and most of the warnings from
`gcc -Wnested-externs'. Fix all the bugs found. There were no serious
ones.


# 5e9ae478 13-Sep-1994 Garrett Wollman <wollman@FreeBSD.org>

Shuffle some functions and variables around to make it possible for
multicast routing to be implemented as an LKM. (There's still a bit of
work to do in this area.)


# f0068c4a 06-Sep-1994 Garrett Wollman <wollman@FreeBSD.org>

Initial get-the-easy-case-working upgrade of the multicast code
to something more recent than the ancient 1.2 release contained in
4.4. This code has the following advantages as compared to
previous versions (culled from the README file for the SunOS release):

- True multicast delivery
- Configurable rate-limiting of forwarded multicast traffic on each
physical interface or tunnel, using a token-bucket limiter.
- Simplistic classification of packets for prioritized dropping.
- Administrative scoping of multicast address ranges.
- Faster detection of hosts leaving groups.
- Support for multicast traceroute (code not yet available).
- Support for RSVP, the Resource Reservation Protocol.

What still needs to be done:

- The multicast forwarder needs testing.
- The multicast routing daemon needs to be ported.
- Network interface drivers need to have the `#ifdef MULTICAST' goop ripped
out of them.
- The IGMP code should probably be bogon-tested.

Some notes about the porting process:

In some cases, the Berkeley people decided to incorporate functionality from
later releases of the multicast code, but then had to do things differently.
As a result, if you look at Deering's patches, and then look at
our code, it is not always obvious whether the patch even applies. Let
the reader beware.

I ran ip_mroute.c through several passes of `unifdef' to get rid of
useless grot, and to permanently enable the RSVP support, which we will
include as standard.
