29.Dt NG_PATCH 4
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm ng_patch
33.Nd "trivial mbuf data modifying netgraph node type"
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.In netgraph/ng_patch.h
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The
38.Nm patch
39node performs data modification of packets passing through it.
40Modifications are restricted to a subset of C language operations
41on unsigned integers of 8, 16, 32 or 64 bit size.
42These are: set to new value (=), addition (+=), subtraction (-=),
43multiplication (*=), division (/=), negation (= -),
44bitwise AND (&=), bitwise OR (|=), bitwise eXclusive OR (^=),
45shift left (<<=), shift right (>>=).
46A negation operation is the one exception: integer is treated as signed
47and second operand (the
48.Va value )
49is not used.
50There may be several modification operations, they are all applied
51to a packet sequentially in order they were specified by user.
52Data payload of packet is viewed as array of bytes, with zero offset
53corresponding to the very first byte of packet headers, and
54.Va length
55bytes beginning from
56.Va offset
57are taken as a single integer in network byte order.
58.Sh HOOKS
59This node type has two hooks:
60.Bl -tag -width ".Va out"
61.It Va in
62Packets received on this hook are modified according to rules specified
63in config and then forwarded to
64.Ar out
65hook, if it exists and connected.
66Otherwise they are reflected back to the
67.Ar in
68hook.
69.It Va out
70Packets received on this hook are forwarded to
71.Ar in
72hook without any changes.
73.El
74.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
75This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following:
76.Bl -tag -width foo
77.It Dv NGM_PATCH_SETCONFIG Pq Ic setconfig
78This command sets the sequence of modify operations
79that will be applied to incoming data on a hook.
80The following
81.Vt "struct ng_patch_config"
82must be supplied as an argument:
83.Bd -literal -offset 4n
84struct ng_patch_op {
85	uint64_t	value;
86	uint32_t	offset;
87	uint16_t	length; /* 1,2,4 or 8 bytes */
88	uint16_t	mode;
89};
90/* Patching modes */
91#define NG_PATCH_MODE_SET	1
92#define NG_PATCH_MODE_ADD	2
93#define NG_PATCH_MODE_SUB	3
94#define NG_PATCH_MODE_MUL	4
95#define NG_PATCH_MODE_DIV	5
96#define NG_PATCH_MODE_NEG	6
97#define NG_PATCH_MODE_AND	7
98#define NG_PATCH_MODE_OR	8
99#define NG_PATCH_MODE_XOR	9
100#define NG_PATCH_MODE_SHL	10
101#define NG_PATCH_MODE_SHR	11
102
103struct ng_patch_config {
104	uint32_t	count;
105	uint32_t	csum_flags;
106	struct ng_patch_op ops[];
107};
108.Ed
109.Pp
110The
111.Va csum_flags
112can be set to any combination of CSUM_IP, CSUM_TCP, CSUM_SCTP and CSUM_UDP
113(other values are ignored) for instructing the IP stack to recalculate the
114corresponding checksum before transmitting packet on output interface.
115The
116.Nm
117node does not do any checksum correction by itself.
118.It Dv NGM_PATCH_GETCONFIG Pq Ic getconfig
119This control message obtains current set of modify operations,
120returned as
121.Vt "struct ng_patch_config" .
122.It Dv NGM_PATCH_GET_STATS Pq Ic getstats
123Returns node statistics as a
124.Vt "struct ng_patch_stats" .
125.It Dv NGM_PATCH_CLR_STATS Pq Ic clrstats
126Clear node statistics.
127.It Dv NGM_PATCH_GETCLR_STATS Pq Ic getclrstats
128This command is identical to
129.Dv NGM_PATCH_GET_STATS ,
130except that the statistics are also atomically cleared.
131.El
132.Sh SHUTDOWN
133This node shuts down upon receipt of a
134.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
135control message, or when all hooks have been disconnected.
136.Sh EXAMPLES
137The
138.Nm
139node allows to modify TTL and TOS/DSCP fields in IP packets.
140Suppose you have two adjacent simplex links to remote network
141(e.g.\& satellite), so that the packets expiring in between
142will generate unwanted ICMP-replies which have to go forth, not back.
143Thus you need to raise TTL of every packet entering link by 2
144to ensure the TTL will not reach zero there.
145So you setup
146.Xr ipfw 8
147rule with
148.Cm netgraph
149action to inject packets going to other end of simplex link by the
150following
151.Xr ngctl 8
152script:
153.Bd -literal -offset 4n
154/usr/sbin/ngctl -f- <<-SEQ
155	mkpeer ipfw: patch 200 in
156	name ipfw:200 ttl_add
157	msg ttl_add: setconfig { count=1 csum_flags=1 ops=[	\e
158		{ mode=2 value=3 length=1 offset=8 } ] }
159SEQ
160/sbin/ipfw add 150 netgraph 200 ip from any to simplex.remote.net
161.Ed
162.Pp
163Here
164.Dq Li ttl_add
165node of type
166.Nm
167configured to add (mode
168.Dv NG_PATCH_MODE_ADD )
169a
170.Va value
171of 3 to a one-byte TTL field, which is 9th byte of IP packet header.
172.Pp
173Another example would be two consecutive modifications of packet TOS
174field: say, you need to clear the
175.Dv IPTOS_THROUGHPUT
176bit and set the
177.Dv IPTOS_MINCOST
178bit.
179So you do:
180.Bd -literal -offset 4n
181/usr/sbin/ngctl -f- <<-SEQ
182	mkpeer ipfw: patch 300 in
183	name ipfw:300 tos_chg
184	msg tos_chg: setconfig { count=2 csum_flags=1 ops=[	\e
185		{ mode=7 value=0xf7 length=1 offset=1 }		\e
186		{ mode=8 value=0x02 length=1 offset=1 } ] }
187SEQ
188/sbin/ipfw add 160 netgraph 300 ip from any to any not dst-port 80
189.Ed
190.Pp
191This first does
192.Dv NG_PATCH_MODE_AND
193clearing the fourth bit and then
194.Dv NG_PATCH_MODE_OR
195setting the third bit.
196.Pp
197In both examples the
198.Va csum_flags
199field indicates that IP checksum (but not TCP or UDP checksum) should be
200recalculated before transmit.
201.Pp
202Note: one should ensure that packets are returned to ipfw after processing
203inside
204.Xr netgraph 4 ,
205by setting appropriate
206.Xr sysctl 8
207variable:
208.Bd -literal -offset 4n
209sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass=0

224.Sh BUGS
225Node blindly tries to apply every patching operation to each packet
226(except those which offset if greater than length of the packet),
227so be sure that you supply only the right packets to it (e.g. changing
228bytes in the ARP packets meant to be in IP header could corrupt
229them and make your machine unreachable from the network).
230.Pp
231.Em !!! WARNING !!!
232.Pp
233Output path of the IP stack assumes correct fields and lengths in the
234packets - changing them by mistake to incorrect values can cause
235unpredictable results including kernel panics.
