This is particularly important for higher number of segments, but even
with small numbers there is a significant difference. For instance,
with 4 segments the fourth segment had no IPs assigned with the old
code, no matter how large the pool, because none of the eight bits used
for the segment check hashed/mapped to it.
Upcoming versions of FreeBSD will include an SADB_X_EXT_SA2 extension in
acquires that contains the reqid set on the matching policy. This allows
handling acquires even when no policies are installed (e.g. to work with
FreeBSD's implementation of VTI interfaces, which manage policies
themselves).
In case a subnet is moved from one interface to another the policies can
remain as is but the route has to change. This currently doesn't happen
automatically and there is no option to update the policy or route so
removing and reinstalling the policies is the only option.
Fixes#2820.
For inbound processing, it can be rather useful to apply the mark to the
packet in the SA, so the associated policy with that mark implicitly matches.
When using %unique as match mark, we don't know the mark beforehand, so
we most likely want to set the mark we match against.
%unique (and the upcoming %same key) are usable in specific contexts only.
To restrict the user from using it in other places where it does not get the
expected results, reject such keywords unless explicitly allowed.
The options control whether the DF and ECN header bits/fields are copied
from the unencrypted packets to the encrypted packets in tunnel mode (DF only
for IPv4), and for ECN whether the same is done for inbound packets.
Note: This implementation only works with Linux/Netlink/XFRM.
Based on a patch by Markus Sattler.
During a test with ~12000 established SAs it was noted that vici
related operations hung.
The operations took over 16 minutes to finish. The time was spent in
the vici message parser, which was assigning the message over and over
again, to get rid of the already parsed portions.
First fixed by cutting the consumed parts off without copying the message.
Runtime for ~12000 SAs is now around 20 seconds.
Further optimization brought the runtime down to roughly 1-2 seconds
by using an fd to read through the message variable.
Closesstrongswan/strongswan#103.
The code to support parallel Netlink queries (commit 3c7193f) made use
of nlmsg_len member from struct nlmsghdr to allocate and copy the
responses. Since NLMSG_NEXT is later used to parse these responses, they
must be aligned, or the results are undefined.

macOS supports AES_GCM_ICV16 natively using PF_KEYv2.
This change enables AES_GCM if the corresponding definition is detected
in the headers.
With this change it is no longer necessary to use the libipsec module to
use AES_GCM on macOS.
Closesstrongswan/strongswan#107.
Although being already logged on level 2, these messages are usually just
confusing if they pop up randomly in the log when e.g. querying the configs
or installing traps. So after this the log messages will only be logged when
actually proposing or selecting traffic selectors during IKE.
