contains all attributes, not just the temporary ones. This avoids having
to merge the lists inside protocols or doing searches on both of them.
Also, do filtering of routes properly. (I'd like to avoid it, but it's
needed at least in the krt protocol.)
show the routing table as exported to the protocol given resp. as returned
from its import control hook.
To get handling of filtered extended attributes right (even in the old
`show route where <filter>' command), the get_route_info hook gets an
attribute list and all protocol specific rte attributes are contained
there as temporary ones. Updated RIP to do that.
Added ea_append() which joins two ea_list's.
Please try compiling your code with --enable-warnings to see them. (The
unused parameter warnings are usually bogus, the unused variable ones
are very useful, but gcc is unable to control them separately.)
of calling the protocols manually.
Implemented printing of dynamic attributes in `show route all'.
Each protocol can now register its own attribute class (protocol->attr_class,
set to EAP_xxx) and also a callback for naming and formatting of attributes.
The callback can return one of the following results:
GA_UNKNOWN Attribute not recognized.
GA_NAME Attribute name recognized and put to the buffer,
generic code should format the value.
GA_FULL Both attribute name and value put to the buffer.
Please update protocols generating dynamic attributes to provide
the attr_class and formatting hook.
The changes are just too extensive for lazy me to list them
there, but see the comment at the top of sysdep/unix/krt.c.
The code got a bit more ifdeffy than I'd like, though.
Also fixed a bunch of FIXME's and added a couple of others. :)
definitely gone. Both rte_update() and rte_discard() have an additional
argument telling which table should they modify.
Also, rte_update() no longer walks the whole protocol list -- each table
has a list of all protocols connected to this table and having the
rt_notify hook set. Each protocol can also freely decide (by calling
proto_add_announce_hook) to connect to any other table, but it will
be probably used only by the table-to-table protocol.
The default debugging dumps now include all routing tables and also
all their connections.
o Introduced rte_cow() which should be used for copying on write the
rte's in filters. Each rte now carries a flag saying whether it's
a real route (possessing table linkage and other insignia) or a local
copy. This function can be expected to be fast since its fast-path
is inlined.
o Introduced rte_update_pool which is a linear memory pool used for
all temporary data during rte_update. You should not reference it directly
-- instead use a pool pointer passed to all related functions.
o Split rte_update to three functions:
rte_update The front end: handles all checking, inbound
filtering and calls rte_recalculate() for the
final version of the route.
rte_recalculate Update the table according to already filtered route.
rte_announce Announce routing table changes to all protocols,
passing them through export filters and so on.
The interface has _not_ changed -- still call rte_update() and it will
do the rest for you automagically.
o Use new filtering semantics to be explained in a separate mail.
o Now compatible with filtering.
o Learning of kernel routes supported only on CONFIG_SELF_CONSCIOUS
systems (on the others it's impossible to get it semantically correct).
o Learning now stores all of its routes in a separate fib and selects
the ones the kernel really uses for forwarding packets.
o Better treatment of CONFIG_AUTO_ROUTES ports.
o Lots of internal changes.
