http://blog.csdn.net/wenqian1991/article/details/46814201

ARP地址解析协议理论前篇参见ARP与RARP，这里则通过源码（Linux kernel 1.2.13；netinetarp.c）来剖析其内部原理及实现过程。

一、ARP表项
[cpp] view plain copy print?
1. /*
2. * This structure defines the ARP mapping cache. As long as we make changes
3. * in this structure, we keep interrupts of. But normally we can copy the
4. * hardware address and the device pointer in a local variable and then make
5. * any "long calls" to send a packet out.
6. */
7. //ARP缓存中的每一个由arp_table结构表示，将这些表项串联起来构成链表，就构成了ARP缓存
8. //每个字段英文注释已经说的很清楚了
9. struct arp_table
10. {
11. struct arp_table *next; /* Linked entry list */
12. unsigned long last_used; /* For expiry */
13. unsigned int flags; /* Control status */
14. unsigned long ip; /* ip address of entry */
15. unsigned long mask; /* netmask - used for generalised proxy arps (tridge) */
16. unsigned char ha[MAX_ADDR_LEN]; /* Hardware address */
17. unsigned char hlen; /* Length of hardware address */
18. unsigned short htype; /* Type of hardware in use */
19. struct device *dev; /* Device the entry is tied to */
21. /*
22. * The following entries are only used for unresolved hw addresses.
23. */
25. struct timer_list timer; /* expire timer */
26. int retries; /* remaining retries */
27. struct sk_buff_head skb; /* list of queued packets */
28. };
值得说明的是，ARP缓存其实是一个链式哈希表，其数据结果和前面文章我们介绍的 array_sock 是一样的结构。该哈希表的索引关键字就是目的 ip 地址，arp 地址解析就是已知对方ip地址，要获得其硬件地址，以完成链路层首部的创建。
鉴于哈希表强大的查找功能（时间复杂度O(1)），所以在内核中应用广泛。

二、从arp缓存中清除过期的arp表项——arp_check_expire 函数

有限的空间不能老是让一些人占着，得常换换血液。
[cpp] view plain copy print?
1. /*
2. * Check if there are too old entries and remove them. If the ATF_PERM
3. * flag is set, they are always left in the arp cache (permanent entry).
4. * Note: Only fully resolved entries, which don't have any packets in
5. * the queue, can be deleted, since ARP_TIMEOUT is much greater than
6. * ARP_MAX_TRIES*ARP_RES_TIME.
7. */
8. //从ARP缓存中清除过期的ARP表项
9. static void arp_check_expire(unsigned long dummy)
10. {
11. int i;
12. unsigned long now = jiffies;
13. unsigned long flags;
14. save_flags(flags);
15. cli();
16. //遍历整个ARP缓存表，该缓存表实则是一个链式哈希表(数组，然后数组元素为arp结构链表)
17. for (i = 0; i < FULL_ARP_TABLE_SIZE; i++)
18. {
19. struct arp_table *entry;
20. struct arp_table **pentry = &arp_tables[i];//获得arp表项
22. while ((entry = *pentry) != NULL)
23. {
24. //对每个表项上次使用时间标志进行检查，如果使用时间在ARP_TIMEOUT之前，
25. //表示这是一个过期的表项，如果该表项不是一个永久表项，则需要清除
26. if ((now - entry->last_used) > ARP_TIMEOUT
27. && !(entry->flags & ATF_PERM))
28. {
29. *pentry = entry->next; /* remove from list */
30. del_timer(&entry->timer); /* 停止该表项设置的定时器 */
31. kfree_s(entry, sizeof(struct arp_table));//清除占有的内存空间
32. }
33. else
34. pentry = &entry->next;//切换到下一个表项 /* go to next entry */
35. }
36. }
37. restore_flags(flags);
39. /*
40. * Set the timer again.
41. */
42. //剖析了那么多源码，tcp内核协议栈重置的操作一般都是:清除现有的，然后新建一个再插入到链表中
43. //而不是直接修改现有的，直接修改会造成内核状态的不一致
44. del_timer(&arp_timer);//清除已有定时器
45. arp_timer.expires = ARP_CHECK_INTERVAL;//重新设置一个定时器
46. add_timer(&arp_timer);//添加到定时器链表中
47. }
三、释放一个arp表项——arp_release_entry 函数
[cpp] view plain copy print?
1. /*
2. * Release all linked skb's and the memory for this entry.
3. */
4. //该函数用于释放一个ARP缓存表项，参数指向要释放的表项
5. //不仅要释放表项，还要释放其可能缓存的待发送的数据包
6. static void arp_release_entry(struct arp_table *entry)
7. {
8. struct sk_buff *skb;
9. unsigned long flags;
11. save_flags(flags);
12. cli();
13. /* Release the list of `skb' pointers. */
14. //找到缓存在该表项中的待发送的数据包，并释放
15. while ((skb = skb_dequeue(&entry->skb)) != NULL)
16. {
17. skb_device_lock(skb);
18. restore_flags(flags);
19. dev_kfree_skb(skb, FREE_WRITE);//释放数据包
20. }
21. restore_flags(flags);
22. del_timer(&entry->timer);//将定时器从系统中删除，不然定时器到期了，会访问到已经不存在的资源
23. kfree_s(entry, sizeof(struct arp_table));//释放空间
24. return;
25. }
四、系统事件处理，即处理皮之不存事故——arp_device_event 函数
[cpp] view plain copy print?
1. /*
2. * Purge a device from the ARP queue
3. */
4. //对系统事件做出响应，主要指网络设备停止工作，即NETDEV_DOWN事件
5. //因为每个arp表项都绑定在一个网络设备上，如果对应的网络设备不再工作，
6. //那么这些被绑定的arp表项就不可再被使用
7. int arp_device_event(unsigned long event, void *ptr)
8. {
9. struct device *dev=ptr;//对应网络设备
10. int i;
11. unsigned long flags;
13. if(event!=NETDEV_DOWN)//本函数只处理网络设备停止工作这一事件
14. return NOTIFY_DONE;
15. /*
16. * This is a bit OTT - maybe we need some arp semaphores instead.
17. */
19. save_flags(flags);
20. cli();
21. //下面原理很简单，遍历arp缓存，找到对应网络设备dev的arp表项，并清除
22. for (i = 0; i < FULL_ARP_TABLE_SIZE; i++)
23. {
24. struct arp_table *entry;
25. struct arp_table **pentry = &arp_tables[i];
27. while ((entry = *pentry) != NULL)
28. {
29. if(entry->dev==dev)
30. {
31. *pentry = entry->next; /* remove from list */
32. del_timer(&entry->timer); /* Paranoia */
33. kfree_s(entry, sizeof(struct arp_table));
34. }
35. else
36. pentry = &entry->next; /* go to next entry */
37. }
38. }
39. restore_flags(flags);
40. return NOTIFY_DONE;
41. }
好，神秘的arp地址解析过程就要开始揭开序幕了，看过之后，其实也不怎么神秘。
五、创建一个arp报文并发送出去——arp_send 函数
[cpp] view plain copy print?
1. /*
2. * Create and send an arp packet. If (dest_hw == NULL), we create a broadcast
3. * message.
4. */
5. //创建一个arp请求报文并发送出去
6. void arp_send(int type, int ptype, unsigned long dest_ip,
7. struct device *dev, unsigned long src_ip,
8. unsigned char *dest_hw, unsigned char *src_hw)
9. {
10. struct sk_buff *skb;
11. struct arphdr *arp;
12. unsigned char *arp_ptr;
14. /*
15. * No arp on this interface.
16. */
18. if(dev->flags&IFF_NOARP)//非ARP协议
19. return;
21. /*
22. * Allocate a buffer
23. */
24. //创建一个arp报文，其也是一个sk_buff数据包
25. //其大小=arp报头+源端和目的端对应的MAC地址长度和IP地址长度+以太网帧头
26. //dev->addr_len表示MAC地址，后面+4是+ip地址长度
27. skb = alloc_skb(sizeof(struct arphdr)+ 2*(dev->addr_len+4)
28. + dev->hard_header_len, GFP_ATOMIC);
29. if (skb == NULL)
30. {
31. printk("ARP: no memory to send an arp packet ");
32. return;
33. }
34. //数据包字段设置
35. skb->len = sizeof(struct arphdr) + dev->hard_header_len + 2*(dev->addr_len+4);
36. skb->arp = 1;//表示已完成MAC首部的创建
37. skb->dev = dev;//绑定设备
38. skb->free = 1;//数据包发送后立即释放
40. /*
41. * Fill the device header for the ARP frame
42. */
43. //调用eth_header函数创建MAC首部，该函数的说明参见前面博文connect函数剖析(二)
44. dev->hard_header(skb->data,dev,ptype,dest_hw?dest_hw:dev->broadcast,src_hw?src_hw:NULL,skb->len,skb);
46. /* Fill out the arp protocol part. */
47. //得到arp报头。arp报文内存布局:以太网帧头 | arp报头 | 地址类
48. arp = (struct arphdr *) (skb->data + dev->hard_header_len);
49. //设置arp报头字段
50. arp->ar_hrd = htons(dev->type);
51. #ifdef CONFIG_AX25
52. arp->ar_pro = (dev->type != ARPHRD_AX25)? htons(ETH_P_IP) : htons(AX25_P_IP);
53. #else
54. arp->ar_pro = htons(ETH_P_IP);
55. #endif
56. arp->ar_hln = dev->addr_len;
57. arp->ar_pln = 4;
58. arp->ar_op = htons(type);
60. //往后偏移一个arp报头位置，定位到地址部分
61. //arp_ptr的内存布局为:源mac地址 | 源ip地址 | 目的mac地址 | 目的ip地址
62. arp_ptr=(unsigned char *)(arp+1);
64. //源mac地址设置
65. memcpy(arp_ptr, src_hw, dev->addr_len);
66. arp_ptr+=dev->addr_len;
67. //源ip地址设置
68. memcpy(arp_ptr, &src_ip,4);
69. arp_ptr+=4;//ip地址长度固定为4，定位到目的mac地址
70. if (dest_hw != NULL)
71. memcpy(arp_ptr, dest_hw, dev->addr_len);
72. else
73. memset(arp_ptr, 0, dev->addr_len);//传参为空，就赋0
74. arp_ptr+=dev->addr_len;
75. memcpy(arp_ptr, &dest_ip, 4);//目的ip地址设置
77. //将该数据包传递给驱动程序，由驱动程序最终将数据发送到物理介质上
78. dev_queue_xmit(skb, dev, 0);//参数具体解释参见前面博文:数据包发送
79. }
六、arp报文接收处理——arp_rcv 函数
[cpp] view plain copy print?
1. /*
2. * Receive an arp request by the device layer. Maybe I rewrite it, to
3. * use the incoming packet for the reply. The time for the current
4. * "overhead" isn't that high...
5. */
6. //该函数是所有使用arp协议进行数据包传送的总入口函数
7. //arp数据包分为arp请求数据包和arp应答数据包
8. //skb:接收的arp协议数据包；dev:接收数据包的网络设备；pt:指向arp协议本身的packe_type结构
9. int arp_rcv(struct sk_buff *skb, struct device *dev, struct packet_type *pt)
10. {
11. /*
12. * We shouldn't use this type conversion. Check later.
13. */
15. struct arphdr *arp = (struct arphdr *)skb->h.raw;//arp首部
16. unsigned char *arp_ptr= (unsigned char *)(arp+1);//arp报文中的地址位置
17. struct arp_table *entry;
18. struct arp_table *proxy_entry;
19. int addr_hint,hlen,htype;
20. unsigned long hash;
21. unsigned char ha[MAX_ADDR_LEN]; /* So we can enable ints again. */
22. long sip,tip;
23. unsigned char *sha,*tha;
25. /*
26. * The hardware length of the packet should match the hardware length
27. * of the device. Similarly, the hardware types should match. The
28. * device should be ARP-able. Also, if pln is not 4, then the lookup
29. * is not from an IP number. We can't currently handle this, so toss
30. * it.
31. */
32. //地址检查以及标志等检查，实现程序的健壮性，检查参数的有效性这都是必须的
33. if (arp->ar_hln != dev->addr_len ||
34. dev->type != ntohs(arp->ar_hrd) ||
35. dev->flags & IFF_NOARP ||
36. arp->ar_pln != 4)
37. {
38. kfree_skb(skb, FREE_READ);
39. return 0;
40. }
42. /*
43. * Another test.
44. * The logic here is that the protocol being looked up by arp should
45. * match the protocol the device speaks. If it doesn't, there is a
46. * problem, so toss the packet.
47. */
48. //根据硬件类型采取相应操作
49. switch(dev->type)

八、arp匹配表项查询——arp_lookup 函数
[cpp] view plain copy print?
1. /*
2. * This will find an entry in the ARP table by looking at the IP address.
3. * If proxy is PROXY_EXACT then only exact IP matches will be allowed
4. * for proxy entries, otherwise the netmask will be used
5. */
6. //完成具体的arp匹配表项查询工作
7. static struct arp_table *arp_lookup(unsigned long paddr, enum proxy proxy)
8. {
9. struct arp_table *entry;
10. unsigned long hash = HASH(paddr);//根据目的ip地址确定哈希表索引
12. //查找arp缓存对应索引位置的arp表项链表
13. for (entry = arp_tables[hash]; entry != NULL; entry = entry->next)
14. if (entry->ip == paddr) break;
16. /* it's possibly a proxy entry (with a netmask) */
17. //代理arp表项情况，不加大括号，这编码风格...
18. if (!entry && proxy != PROXY_NONE)
19. //定位到代理表项，arp缓存的最后一个位置
20. for (entry=arp_tables[PROXY_HASH]; entry != NULL; entry = entry->next)
21. //如果是精确匹配，则全32位网络地址匹配
22. //如果不是则只要网络部分地址相同就行
23. if ((proxy==PROXY_EXACT) ? (entry->ip==paddr)
24. : !((entry->ip^paddr)&entry->mask))
25. break;
27. return entry;//不管匹配成功与否都返回，没成功entry==null
28. }
建议结合ARP地址解析过程理论部分理解。
通过上面分析我们知道：

ARP缓存其实就是一个链式哈希表（本质是一个数组，但其每个数组元素又是一个链表），链表元素为 ARP 表项；

每个ARP表项由一个 arp_table 结构表示，该结构中含有ip地址，硬件地址映射关系，表项状态标识以及其他辅助字段（重要的就是数据包暂存队列）；

对ARP缓存的操作，具体的就是对每个 arp_table 结构的操作

本人能力有限，对于arp地址解析过程难免有理解偏差或没理解的地方，欢迎指正，交流进步。
