If the answer is no, I'll send in a PR. I think it was just a random decision -- either pass packets to the firewall before reassembly as we do, or after reassembly, as linux does. Both have pros and cons. Going through the firewall twice, however, is problematic because far too many things (counters, dummynet, etc.) expect to see each packet only once. I think that a patch like the one you propose is very useful (for ipv4 as well) but it requires a sysctl or other mechanism to make sure that when it is enabled we don't pass fragments through the firewall. cheers luigi > I've tested the patch below. > > Matthew > > --- sys/netinet6/frag6.c.orig 2008-11-25 15:59:29.000000000 +1300 > +++ sys/netinet6/frag6.c 2010-04-13 13:21:02.000000000 +1200 > @@ -46,6 +46,7 @@ __FBSDID("$FreeBSD: src/sys/netinet6/fra > > #include <net/if.h> > #include <net/route.h> > +#include <net/pfil.h> > > #include <netinet/in.h> > #include <netinet/in_var.h> > @@ -568,6 +569,13 @@ insert: > *offp = offset; > > IP6Q_UNLOCK(); > + > + if (PFIL_HOOKED(&inet6_pfil_hook) && > + (pfil_run_hooks(&inet6_pfil_hook, &m, m->m_pkthdr.rcvif, PFIL_IN, NULL) || > + m == NULL)) { > + return IPPROTO_DONE; > + } > + > return nxt; > > dropfrag: > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
