netgraph/ng_bridge: Replace NG_BRIDGE_MAX_LINKS with unlimited links

[donner]

Summary

Remove the compile time limit for number of links a ng_bridge node can handle.

PR:240787

Test Plan

# kldload ng_bridge
# kldload ng_eiface
# ngctl

try some illegal link names first

+ mkpeer . bridge b1 link012345
ngctl: send msg: Invalid argument

create node

+ mkpeer . bridge b1 link12345

try more illegal link names

+ mkpeer . bridge b2 link12345678901234567890
ngctl: send msg: Invalid argument
+ mkpeer . bridge b2 123
ngctl: send msg: Invalid argument
+ mkpeer . bridge b2 link123test
ngctl: send msg: Invalid argument
+ mkpeer . bridge b2 123link
ngctl: send msg: Invalid argument

create node

+ mkpeer . bridge b2 link12345

add interfaces to the bridges

+ mkpeer b1 eiface link0 ether
+ mkpeer b2 eiface link0 ether
+ name b1.link0 if1
+ name b2.link0 if2

increase debuglevel and customize timeouts for loop detection

+ msg b1 setconfig { debugLevel=2 loopTimeout=60 maxStaleness=900 minStableAge=1 }
+ msg b2 setconfig { debugLevel=2 loopTimeout=30 maxStaleness=900 minStableAge=1 }

remove from controlling node

+ rmhook b1 
+ rmhook b2

cross-connect the nodes (incl selfconnect and multiple assignment)

+ connect if1:ether if1:ether link1 link2
ngctl: send msg: Too many levels of symbolic links
+ connect if1:ether if2:ether link1 link2
+ connect if1:ether if2:ether link1 link2
ngctl: send msg: File exists

build a loop

+ connect if1:ether if2:ether link654321 link123456

There is no ipfw functionality. It's completely unclear which configuration would be needed ...

NG_NODE_FOREACH_HOOK requires an external function and a single external data pointer

All this code is moved to the external function ng_bridge_send_ctx

Removing the ipfw config and modifying the gettable output requires a new cookie.

Internal pointer "link" is useless outside.
It's more interesting to know on which hook the host is located.

OK from manpages.

Typo.

(On Diff #62600)

In general (there could be exclusions) nodes run newhook method in context of syscall, thus sleeping for memory is okay.

Braces around return value.

The project moves from historic BSD u_intXX_t types to C99 uintXX_t. Please use the latter in the new code.

[donner]

What is the next step?
Should I replace the patch by a new one in order to correct the remaining issues?

sys/netgraph/ng_bridge.h

122 ↗

(On Diff #62600)

I'd stay with the old type for this patch.
Afterwards I'd rework the whole file to new types.
That would keep the patches self-contained and don't result in inconsistent types for the whole file.
Okay?
