During testing of M_PROMISC I noticed a couple of issues with our CARP.
1. carp doesn't seem to maintain input/output statistics on its ifnet.
This should be OK. A carp(4) interface is just a place for CARP
settings to live. No real traffic passes through it.
2. carp doesn't seem to detect that the underlying route to the subnet
its address is exposed on changed to another interface.
I seem to recollect that I ran into this issue, too. Of course,
it's a bug. CARP apparently caches the old route forever. It
should track such a change if it doesn't yet. We have a sort of
notification for the event, don't we? The userland has the routing
socket for that, but I don't remember about the kernel.
We shouldn't cache route pointers anywhere anymore. It has been completely
removed from the PCBs and things like gif and others.
Thank you for paying attention to that!
