This eliminates the following KAME-specific sin6_scope_id handling routine from each userland utility: sin6.sin6_scope_id = ntohs(*(u_int16_t *)&sin6.sin6_addr.s6_addr[2]); This behavior can be controlled by net.inet6.ip6.deembed_scopeid. This is set to 1 by default (sin6_scope_id will be filled in the kernel). Reviewed by: bz

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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!

* - Accept Router Advertisement messages even when net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1.hrs2011-06-061-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - A new per-interface knob IFF_ND6_NO_RADR and sysctl IPV6CTL_NO_RADR. This controls if accepting a route in an RA message as the default route. The default value for each interface can be set by net.inet6.ip6.no_radr. The system wide default value is 0. - A new sysctl: net.inet6.ip6.norbit_raif. This controls if setting R-bit in NA on RA accepting interfaces. The default is 0 (R-bit is set based on net.inet6.ip6.forwarding). Background: IPv6 host/router model suggests a router sends an RA and a host accepts it for router discovery. Because of that, KAME implementation does not allow accepting RAs when net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1. Accepting RAs on a router can make the routing table confused since it can change the default router unintentionally. However, in practice there are cases where we cannot distinguish a host from a router clearly. For example, a customer edge router often works as a host against the ISP, and as a router against the LAN at the same time. Another example is a complex network configurations like an L2TP tunnel for IPv6 connection to Internet over an Ethernet link with another native IPv6 subnet. In this case, the physical interface for the native IPv6 subnet works as a host, and the pseudo-interface for L2TP works as the default IP forwarding route. Problem: Disabling processing RA messages when net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1 and accepting them when net.inet6.ip6.forward=0 cause the following practical issues: - A router cannot perform SLAAC. It becomes a problem if a box has multiple interfaces and you want to use SLAAC on some of them, for example. A customer edge router for IPv6 Internet access service using an IPv6-over-IPv6 tunnel sometimes needs SLAAC on the physical interface for administration purpose; updating firmware and so on (link-local addresses can be used there, but GUAs by SLAAC are often used for scalability). - When a host has multiple IPv6 interfaces and it receives multiple RAs on them, controlling the default route is difficult. Router preferences defined in RFC 4191 works only when the routers on the links are under your control. Details of Implementation Changes: Router Advertisement messages will be accepted even when net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1. More precisely, the conditions are as follow: (ACCEPT_RTADV && !NO_RADR && !ip6.forwarding) => Normal RA processing on that interface. (as IPv6 host) (ACCEPT_RTADV && (NO_RADR || ip6.forwarding)) => Accept RA but add the router to the defroute list with rtlifetime=0 unconditionally. This effectively prevents from setting the received router address as the box's default route. (!ACCEPT_RTADV) => No RA processing on that interface. ACCEPT_RTADV and NO_RADR are per-interface knob. In short, all interface are classified as "RA-accepting" or not. An RA-accepting interface always processes RA messages regardless of ip6.forwarding. The difference caused by NO_RADR or ip6.forwarding is whether the RA source address is considered as the default router or not. R-bit in NA on the RA accepting interfaces is set based on net.inet6.ip6.forwarding. While RFC 6204 W-1 rule (for CPE case) suggests a router should disable the R-bit completely even when the box has net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1, I believe there is no technical reason with doing so. This behavior can be set by a new sysctl net.inet6.ip6.norbit_raif (the default is 0). Usage: # ifconfig fxp0 inet6 accept_rtadv => accept RA on fxp0 # ifconfig fxp0 inet6 accept_rtadv no_radr => accept RA on fxp0 but ignore default route information in it. # sysctl net.inet6.ip6.norbit_no_radr=1 => R-bit in NAs on RA accepting interfaces will always be set to 0.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If compiled in for dual-stack use, test with feature_present(3) to see if we should register the IPv4/IPv6 address family related options. In case there is no "inet" support we would love to go with the usage() and make the address family mandatory (as it is for anything but inet in theory). Unfortunately people are used to ifconfig IF up/down etc. as well, so use a fallback of "link". Adjust the man page to reflect these minor details. Improve error handling printing a warning in addition to the usage telling that we do not know the given address family in two places.

The default value of the sysctl is 1. - Make ND6_IFF_IFDISABLED more robust. It can be used to disable IPv6 functionality of an interface now. - Receiving RA is allowed if ip6_forwarding==0 *and* ND6_IFF_ACCEPT_RTADV is set on that interface. The former condition will be revisited later to support a "host + router" box like IPv6 CPE router. The current behavior is compatible with the older releases of FreeBSD. - The ifconfig(8) now supports these ND6 flags as well as "nud", "prefer_source", and "disabled" in ndp(8).

o break per-address family support out into separate files o modularize per-address family and functional operations using a registration mechanism; this permits configuration according to which files you include (but beware that order of the files is important to insure backwards compatibility) o many cleanups to eliminate incestuous behaviour, global variables, and poor coding practices (still much more to fix) The original motivation of this work was to support dynamic addition of functionality based on the interface so we can eliminate the various little control programs and so that vendors can distribute ifconfig plugins that support their in-kernel code. That work is still to be completed. o Update 802.11 support for all the new net80211 functionality; some of these operations (e.g. list *) may be better suited in a different program
