Silence firewall_logif on ipfw service restart

Once the ipfw0 interface has been created, ifconfig(8) create will throw a warning: `ifconfig: create: bad value' when trying to create it again.
    
This patch silences it.
Comment 1 Jose Luis Duran 2020-07-07 08:36:49 UTC
(In reply to Jose Luis Duran from comment #0)

The warning message is more descriptive now.  Not sure if silencing it is really a benefit:

    ifconfig: interface ipfw0 already exists
Comment 2 Jose Luis Duran 2020-07-07 08:49:55 UTC

Disable logging and destroy ipfw0 interface upon service stop

Second option just in case.
Comment 3 Lutz Donnerhacke freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-07-07 15:51:18 UTC
I oppose this approach.

Modifying a sysctl value in the background is surprising to the user.

I do not see any code for retaining the old value for the next usage. So if the service is restarted, the log-sysctl value will unconditionally lost and any new messages will be suppressed.
Comment 4 Jose Luis Duran 2020-07-07 15:54:22 UTC
(In reply to lutz from comment #3)

That is understandable. Attached is patch3 (also just in case) which disables only the interface.

Disable the interface ipfw0 upon service stop

Destroy just the interface and leave the sysctl on. (option 3).

Less destructive approach

Take 4: Do not attempt to create interface if it already exists.
