For now, preserve the gif_called functionality to limit the nesting
level because uncontrolled nesting can easily cause the kernel stack
exhaustion. Rumors are it should be shot to allow people to easily
shoot themselves in the foot, but I have ran out of cartridges. ;)
- Add gif_mtx, which protects globals.
- Hold gif_mtx around manipulation of gif_softc_list.
- Abstract gif destruction code into gif_destroy(), which tears down
a softc after it's been removed from the global list by either module
unload or clone destroy.
- Lock gif_called, even though we know gif_called is broken with reentrant
network processing.
- Document an event ordering problem in gif_set_tunnel() that will need
to be fixed.

Add an annotation that this approach will not work with a reentrant

excessive recursive processing.
a new bpf_mtap2 routine that does the right thing for an mbuf

o while we're sweeping the drivers, use u_int32_t uniformly when
when prepending the address family (several places were assuming
sizeof(int) was 4)
o return M_ASSERTVALID to BPF_MTAP* now that all stack-allocated
mbufs have been eliminated; this may better be moved to the bpf
routines

This change paves the way for interface renaming and enhanced pseudo

This is because calls with M_WAIT (now M_TRYWAIT) may not wait
forever when nothing is available for allocation, and may end up
returning NULL. Hopefully we now communicate more of the right thing
to developers and make it very clear that it's necessary to check whether
calls with M_(TRY)WAIT also resulted in a failed allocation.
M_TRYWAIT basically means "try harder, block if necessary, but don't
necessarily wait forever." The time spent blocking is tunable with
the kern.ipc.mbuf_wait sysctl.
M_WAIT is now deprecated but still defined for the next little while.
* Fix a typo in a comment in mbuf.h
* Fix some code that was actually passing the mbuf subsystem's M_WAIT to
malloc(). Made it pass M_WAITOK instead. If we were ever to redefine the
value of the M_WAIT flag, this could have became a big problem.
before adding/removing packets from the queue. Also, the if_obytes and
if_omcasts fields should only be manipulated under protection of the mutex.
IF_ENQUEUE, IF_PREPEND, and IF_DEQUEUE perform all necessary locking on
the queue. An IF_LOCK macro is provided, as well as the old (mutex-less)
versions of the macros in the form _IF_ENQUEUE, _IF_QFULL, for code which
needs them, but their use is discouraged.
Two new macros are introduced: IF_DRAIN() to drain a queue, and IF_HANDOFF,
which takes care of locking/enqueue, and also statistics updating/start
if necessary.
Now most big problem of IPv6 is getting IPv6 address
assignment.
6to4 solve the problem. 6to4 addr is defined like below,
2002: 4byte v4 addr : 2byte SLA ID : 8byte interface ID
The most important point of the address format is that an IPv4 addr
is embeded in it. So any user who has IPv4 addr can get IPv6 address
block with 2byte subnet space. Also, the IPv4 addr is used for
semi-automatic IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling.
With 6to4, getting IPv6 addr become dramatically easy.
The attached patch enable 6to4 extension, and confirmed to work,
between "Richard Seaman, Jr." <dick@tar.com> and me.
