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.
59An additional offset can be optionally
60requested at configuration time to account for packet type.
61.Sh HOOKS
62This node type has two hooks:
63.Bl -tag -width ".Va out"
64.It Va in
65Packets received on this hook are modified according to rules specified
66in the configuration and then forwarded to the
67.Ar out
68hook, if it exists.
69Otherwise they are reflected back to the
70.Ar in
71hook.
72.It Va out
73Packets received on this hook are forwarded to the
74.Ar in
75hook without any changes.
76.El
77.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
78This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following:
79.Bl -tag -width foo
80.It Dv NGM_PATCH_SETDLT Pq Ic setdlt
81Sets the data link type on the
82.Va in
83hook (to help calculate relative offset). Currently, supported types are
84.Cm DLT_RAW
85(raw IP datagrams , no offset applied, the default) and
86.Cm DLT_EN10MB
87(Ethernet). DLT_ definitions can be found in
88.In net/bpf.h .
89If you want to work on the link layer header you must use no additional offset by specifying
90.Cm DLT_RAW .
91If
92.Cm EN10MB
93is specified, then the optional additional offset will take into account the Ethernet header and a QinQ header if present.
94.It Dv NGM_PATCH_GETDLT Pq Ic getdlt
95This control message returns the data link type of the
96.Va in
97hook.
98.It Dv NGM_PATCH_SETCONFIG Pq Ic setconfig
99This command sets the sequence of modify operations
100that will be applied to incoming data on a hook.
101The following
102.Vt "struct ng_patch_config"
103must be supplied as an argument:
104.Bd -literal -offset 4n
105struct ng_patch_op {
106	uint32_t	offset;
107	uint16_t	length; /* 1,2,4 or 8 bytes */
108	uint16_t	mode;
109	uint64_t	value;
110};
111/* Patching modes */
112#define NG_PATCH_MODE_SET	1
113#define NG_PATCH_MODE_ADD	2
114#define NG_PATCH_MODE_SUB	3
115#define NG_PATCH_MODE_MUL	4
116#define NG_PATCH_MODE_DIV	5
117#define NG_PATCH_MODE_NEG	6
118#define NG_PATCH_MODE_AND	7
119#define NG_PATCH_MODE_OR	8
120#define NG_PATCH_MODE_XOR	9
121#define NG_PATCH_MODE_SHL	10
122#define NG_PATCH_MODE_SHR	11
123
124struct ng_patch_config {
125	uint32_t	count;
126	uint32_t	csum_flags;
127	uint32_t	relative_offset;
128	struct ng_patch_op ops[];
129};
130.Ed
131.Pp
132The
133.Va csum_flags
134can be set to any combination of CSUM_IP, CSUM_TCP, CSUM_SCTP and CSUM_UDP
135(other values are ignored) for instructing the IP stack to recalculate the
136corresponding checksum before transmitting packet on output interface.
137The
138.Nm
139node does not do any checksum correction by itself.
140.It Dv NGM_PATCH_GETCONFIG Pq Ic getconfig
141This control message returns the current set of modify operations,
142in the form of a
143.Vt "struct ng_patch_config" .
144.It Dv NGM_PATCH_GET_STATS Pq Ic getstats
145Returns the node's statistics as a
146.Vt "struct ng_patch_stats" .
147.It Dv NGM_PATCH_CLR_STATS Pq Ic clrstats
148Clears the node's statistics.
149.It Dv NGM_PATCH_GETCLR_STATS Pq Ic getclrstats
150This command is identical to
151.Dv NGM_PATCH_GET_STATS ,
152except that the statistics are also atomically cleared.
153.El
154.Sh SHUTDOWN
155This node shuts down upon receipt of a
156.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
157control message, or when all hooks have been disconnected.
158.Sh EXAMPLES
159This
160.Nm
161node was designed to modify TTL and TOS/DSCP fields in IP packets.
162As an example,
163suppose you have two adjacent simplex links to a remote network
164(e.g.\& satellite), so that the packets expiring in between
165will generate unwanted ICMP-replies which have to go forth, not back.
166Thus you need to raise TTL of every packet entering link by 2
167to ensure the TTL will not reach zero there.
168To achieve this you can set an
169.Xr ipfw 8
170rule to use the
171.Cm netgraph
172action to inject packets which are going to the simplex link into the patch node, by using the
173following
174.Xr ngctl 8
175script:
176.Bd -literal -offset 4n
177/usr/sbin/ngctl -f- <<-SEQ
178	mkpeer ipfw: patch 200 in
179	name ipfw:200 ttl_add
180	msg ttl_add: setconfig { count=1 csum_flags=1 ops=[	\e
181		{ mode=2 value=3 length=1 offset=8 } ] }
182SEQ
183/sbin/ipfw add 150 netgraph 200 ip from any to simplex.remote.net
184.Ed
185.Pp
186Here the
187.Dq Li ttl_add
188node of type
189.Nm
190is configured to add (mode
191.Dv NG_PATCH_MODE_ADD )
192a
193.Va value
194of 3 to a one-byte TTL field, which is 9th byte of IP packet header.
195.Pp
196Another example would be two consecutive modifications of packet TOS
197field: say, you need to clear the
198.Dv IPTOS_THROUGHPUT
199bit and set the
200.Dv IPTOS_MINCOST
201bit.
202So you do:
203.Bd -literal -offset 4n
204/usr/sbin/ngctl -f- <<-SEQ
205	mkpeer ipfw: patch 300 in
206	name ipfw:300 tos_chg
207	msg tos_chg: setconfig { count=2 csum_flags=1 ops=[	\e
208		{ mode=7 value=0xf7 length=1 offset=1 }		\e
209		{ mode=8 value=0x02 length=1 offset=1 } ] }
210SEQ
211/sbin/ipfw add 160 netgraph 300 ip from any to any not dst-port 80
212.Ed
213.Pp
214This first does
215.Dv NG_PATCH_MODE_AND
216clearing the fourth bit and then
217.Dv NG_PATCH_MODE_OR
218setting the third bit.
219.Pp
220In both examples the
221.Va csum_flags
222field indicates that IP checksum (but not TCP or UDP checksum) should be
223recalculated before transmit.
224.Pp
225Note: one should ensure that packets are returned to ipfw after processing
226inside
227.Xr netgraph 4 ,
228by setting appropriate
229.Xr sysctl 8
230variable:
231.Bd -literal -offset 4n
232sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass=0

251.Sh BUGS
252The node blindly tries to apply every patching operation to each packet
253(except those which offset if greater than length of the packet),
254so be sure that you supply only the right packets to it (e.g. changing
255bytes in the ARP packets meant to be in IP header could corrupt
256them and make your machine unreachable from the network).
257.Pp
258.Em !!! WARNING !!!
259.Pp
260The output path of the IP stack assumes correct fields and lengths in the
261packets - changing them by to incorrect values can cause
262unpredictable results including kernel panics.
