Hi,
Quick heads up that there are going to be breaking changes to the pf
API towards userspace for 14.0. (That is, the ioctl interface
presented by /dev/pf).
I’ve been rewriting several types of calls to start using nvlists,
because otherwise it’s basically unmanageable to extend calls (which
we pretty much have to do to add new features).
The old struct-based ioctls have been left in place so far, but as
that’s a substantial amount of (now untested!) code I’m very keen
to be able to remove.
To be very explicit: removal of old ioctls will only ever affect new
major versions. That is, 14.0 at the earliest. I will not break
stable/12 or stable/13 or 13.2 or …
The initial breaking change is https://reviews.freebsd.org/D30056 .
That removes DIOCCLRSTATES and DIOCKILLSTATES, which are now
DIOCCLRSTATESNV and DIOCKILLSTATESNV, based on nvlists.
To make that all easier for userspace to manage there’s libpfctl,
which wraps all of the API details. That port will be available for
all supported platforms (when https://reviews.freebsd.org/D39360
lands, soon).
There are likely to be more changes in the future, so I’d strongly
encourage all API users to migrate to using libpfctl rather than
trying to roll their own implementations.
Here’s an example of how security/snortsam needed to be changed to
cope with the above:
commit 1136cf1ef66dc93397455818dfce0794d4e65170 (HEAD ->
freebsd_current/libpfctl)
Author: Kristof Provost <k...@freebsd.org>

security/snortsam: use libpfctl
FreeBSD main will remove DIOCKILLSTATES soon. We can use
libpfctl to
accomplish the same task though.

Tl;dr If you maintain a port that uses /dev/pf you’re going to have
to start using net/libpfctl.
Best regards,
