>Description:
ipf -y gives "SIOCFRSYN: Bad address", and probably doesn't resync
the interface list like it's supposed to.
The frsync() function in src/usr.sbin/ipf/ipf.c does ioctl(fd, SIOCFRSYN, 0)
However, src/sys/netinet/ip_fil.h defines SIOCFRSYN as taking a u_int
argument. The kernel sees that 0 is not a valid pointer and returns
EFAULT.
>How-To-Repeat:
# /sbin/ipf -y
SIOCFRSYN: Bad address
>Fix:
I suppose SIOCFRSYN should be defined as not taking any argument:
