30.Dt NG_PATCH 4
31.Os
32.Sh NAME
33.Nm ng_patch
34.Nd "trivial mbuf data modifying netgraph node type"
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.In netgraph/ng_patch.h
37.Sh DESCRIPTION
38The
39.Nm patch
40node performs data modification of packets passing through it.
41Modifications are restricted to a subset of C language operations
42on unsigned integers of 8, 16, 32 or 64 bit size.
43These are: set to new value (=), addition (+=), subtraction (-=),
44multiplication (*=), division (/=), negation (= -),
45bitwise AND (&=), bitwise OR (|=), bitwise eXclusive OR (^=),
46shift left (<<=), shift right (>>=).
47A negation operation is the one exception: integer is treated as signed
48and second operand (the
49.Va value )
50is not used.
51If there is more than one modification operation, they are applied
52to packets sequentially in the order they were specified by the user.
53The data payload of a packet is viewed as an array of bytes, with a zero offset
54corresponding to the very first byte of packet headers, and the
55.Va length
56bytes beginning from
57.Va offset
58as a single integer in network byte order. An additional offset can be optionally
59requested at configuration time to account for packet type.
60.Sh HOOKS
61This node type has two hooks:
62.Bl -tag -width ".Va out"
63.It Va in
64Packets received on this hook are modified according to rules specified
65in the configuration and then forwarded to the
66.Ar out
67hook, if it exists.
68Otherwise they are reflected back to the
69.Ar in
70hook.
71.It Va out
72Packets received on this hook are forwarded to the
73.Ar in
74hook without any changes.
75.El
76.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
77This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following:
78.Bl -tag -width foo
79.It Dv NGM_PATCH_SETDLT Pq Ic setdlt
80Sets the data link type on the
81.Va in
82hook (to help calculate relative offset). Currently, supported types are
83.Cm DLT_RAW
84(raw IP datagrams , no offset applied, the default) and
85.Cm DLT_EN10MB
86(Ethernet). DLT_ definitions can be found in
87.In net/bpf.h .
88If you want to work on the link layer header you must use no additional offset by specifying
89.Cm DLT_RAW .
90If
91.Cm EN10MB
92is specified, then the optional additional offset will take into account the Ethernet header and a QinQ header if present.
93.It Dv NGM_PATCH_GETDLT Pq Ic getdlt
94This control message returns the data link type of the
95.Va in
96hook.
97.It Dv NGM_PATCH_SETCONFIG Pq Ic setconfig
98This command sets the sequence of modify operations
99that will be applied to incoming data on a hook.
100The following
101.Vt "struct ng_patch_config"
102must be supplied as an argument:
103.Bd -literal -offset 4n
104struct ng_patch_op {
105	uint32_t	offset;
106	uint16_t	length; /* 1,2,4 or 8 bytes */
107	uint16_t	mode;
108	uint64_t	value;
109};
110/* Patching modes */
111#define NG_PATCH_MODE_SET	1
112#define NG_PATCH_MODE_ADD	2
113#define NG_PATCH_MODE_SUB	3
114#define NG_PATCH_MODE_MUL	4
115#define NG_PATCH_MODE_DIV	5
116#define NG_PATCH_MODE_NEG	6
117#define NG_PATCH_MODE_AND	7
118#define NG_PATCH_MODE_OR	8
119#define NG_PATCH_MODE_XOR	9
120#define NG_PATCH_MODE_SHL	10
121#define NG_PATCH_MODE_SHR	11
122
123struct ng_patch_config {
124	uint32_t	count;
125	uint32_t	csum_flags;
126	uint32_t	relative_offset;
127	struct ng_patch_op ops[];
128};
129.Ed
130.Pp
131The
132.Va csum_flags
133can be set to any combination of CSUM_IP, CSUM_TCP, CSUM_SCTP and CSUM_UDP
134(other values are ignored) for instructing the IP stack to recalculate the
135corresponding checksum before transmitting packet on output interface.
136The
137.Nm
138node does not do any checksum correction by itself.
139.It Dv NGM_PATCH_GETCONFIG Pq Ic getconfig
140This control message returns the current set of modify operations,
141in the form of a
142.Vt "struct ng_patch_config" .
143.It Dv NGM_PATCH_GET_STATS Pq Ic getstats
144Returns the node's statistics as a
145.Vt "struct ng_patch_stats" .
146.It Dv NGM_PATCH_CLR_STATS Pq Ic clrstats
147Clears the node's statistics.
148.It Dv NGM_PATCH_GETCLR_STATS Pq Ic getclrstats
149This command is identical to
150.Dv NGM_PATCH_GET_STATS ,
151except that the statistics are also atomically cleared.
152.El
153.Sh SHUTDOWN
154This node shuts down upon receipt of a
155.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
156control message, or when all hooks have been disconnected.
157.Sh EXAMPLES
158This
159.Nm
160node was designed to modify TTL and TOS/DSCP fields in IP packets.
161As an example,
162suppose you have two adjacent simplex links to a remote network
163(e.g.\& satellite), so that the packets expiring in between
164will generate unwanted ICMP-replies which have to go forth, not back.
165Thus you need to raise TTL of every packet entering link by 2
166to ensure the TTL will not reach zero there.
167To achieve this you can set an
168.Xr ipfw 8
169rule to use the
170.Cm netgraph
171action to inject packets which are going to the simplex link into the patch node, by using the
172following
173.Xr ngctl 8
174script:
175.Bd -literal -offset 4n
176/usr/sbin/ngctl -f- <<-SEQ
177	mkpeer ipfw: patch 200 in
178	name ipfw:200 ttl_add
179	msg ttl_add: setconfig { count=1 csum_flags=1 ops=[	\e
180		{ mode=2 value=3 length=1 offset=8 } ] }
181SEQ
182/sbin/ipfw add 150 netgraph 200 ip from any to simplex.remote.net
183.Ed
184.Pp
185Here the
186.Dq Li ttl_add
187node of type
188.Nm
189is configured to add (mode
190.Dv NG_PATCH_MODE_ADD )
191a
192.Va value
193of 3 to a one-byte TTL field, which is 9th byte of IP packet header.
194.Pp
195Another example would be two consecutive modifications of packet TOS
196field: say, you need to clear the
197.Dv IPTOS_THROUGHPUT
198bit and set the
199.Dv IPTOS_MINCOST
200bit.
201So you do:
202.Bd -literal -offset 4n
203/usr/sbin/ngctl -f- <<-SEQ
204	mkpeer ipfw: patch 300 in
205	name ipfw:300 tos_chg
206	msg tos_chg: setconfig { count=2 csum_flags=1 ops=[	\e
207		{ mode=7 value=0xf7 length=1 offset=1 }		\e
208		{ mode=8 value=0x02 length=1 offset=1 } ] }
209SEQ
210/sbin/ipfw add 160 netgraph 300 ip from any to any not dst-port 80
211.Ed
212.Pp
213This first does
214.Dv NG_PATCH_MODE_AND
215clearing the fourth bit and then
216.Dv NG_PATCH_MODE_OR
217setting the third bit.
218.Pp
219In both examples the
220.Va csum_flags
221field indicates that IP checksum (but not TCP or UDP checksum) should be
222recalculated before transmit.
223.Pp
224Note: one should ensure that packets are returned to ipfw after processing
225inside
226.Xr netgraph 4 ,
227by setting appropriate
228.Xr sysctl 8
229variable:
230.Bd -literal -offset 4n
231sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass=0

250.Sh BUGS
251The node blindly tries to apply every patching operation to each packet
252(except those which offset if greater than length of the packet),
253so be sure that you supply only the right packets to it (e.g. changing
254bytes in the ARP packets meant to be in IP header could corrupt
255them and make your machine unreachable from the network).
256.Pp
257.Em !!! WARNING !!!
258.Pp
259The output path of the IP stack assumes correct fields and lengths in the
260packets - changing them by to incorrect values can cause
261unpredictable results including kernel panics.
