This is a fundamental change of an original (1999) concept of route
processing inside BIRD. During import/export, there was a temporary
ea_list created which was to be used instead of the another one inside
the route itself.
This led to some confusion, quirks, and strange filter code that handled
extended route attributes. Dropping it now.
The protocol interface has changed in an uniform way -- the
`struct ea_list *attrs` argument has been removed from store_tmp_attrs(),
import_control(), rt_notify() and get_route_info().
Use full time precision to initialize random generator. The old
code was prone to initialize it to the same values in specific
circumstances (boot without RTC, multiple VMs starting at once).
This patch adds support for source-specific IPv6 routes to BIRD core.
This is based on Dean Luga's original patch, with the review comments
addressed. SADR support is added to network address parsing in confbase.Y
and to the kernel protocol on Linux.
Currently there is no way to mix source-specific and non-source-specific
routes (i.e., SADR tables cannot be connected to non-SADR tables).
Thanks to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for the original patch.
Minor changes by Ondrej Santiago Zajicek.
On Linux, setting the ToS will also set the priority and the range of
accepted values is quite limited (masked by 0x1e). Therefore, 0xc0 is
translated to a priority of 0, not something we want, overriding the
"7" priority which was set previously explicitely. To avoid that, just
move setting priority later in the code.
Thanks to Vincent Bernat for the patch.
A filter should log messages only if executed explicitly (e.g., during
route export or route import). When a filter is executed for technical
reasons (e.g., to establish whether a route was exported before), it
should run silently.
The old timer interface is still kept, but implemented by new timers. The
plan is to switch from the old inteface to the new interface, then clean
it up.
Add basic VRF (virtual routing and forwarding) support. Protocols can be
associated with VRFs, such protocols will be restricted to interfaces
assigned to the VRF (as reported by Linux kernel) and will use sockets
bound to the VRF. E.g., different multihop BGP instances can use diffent
kernel routing tables to handle BGP TCP connections.
The VRF support is preliminary, currently there are several limitations:
- Recent Linux kernels (4.11) do not handle correctly sockets bound
to interaces that are part of VRF, so most protocols other than multihop
BGP do not work. This will be fixed by future kernel versions.
- Neighbor cache ignores VRFs. Breaks config with the same prefix on
local interfaces in different VRFs. Not much problem as single hop
protocols do not work anyways.
- Olock code ignores VRFs. Breaks config with multiple BGP peers with the
same IP address in different VRFs.
- Incoming BGP connections are not dispatched according to VRFs.
Breaks config with multiple BGP peers with the same IP address in
different VRFs. Perhaps we would need some kernel API to read VRF of
incoming connection? Or probably use multiple listening sockets in
int-new branch.
- We should handle master VRF interface up/down events and perhaps
disable associated protocols when VRF goes down. Or at least disable
associated interfaces.
- Also we should check if the master iface is really VRF iface and
not some other kind of master iface.
- BFD session request dispatch should be aware of VRFs.
- Perhaps kernel protocol should read default kernel table ID from VRF
iface so it is not necessary to configure it.
- Perhaps we should have per-VRF default table.
Anyway, Bird is now capable to insert both MPLS routes and MPLS encap
routes into kernel.
It was (among others) needed to define platform-specific AF_MPLS to 28
as this constant has been assigned in the linux kernel.
No support for BSD now, it may be added in the future.
Dropped struct mpnh and mpnh_*()
Now struct nexthop exists, nexthop_*(), and also included struct nexthop
into struct rta.
Also converted RTD_DEVICE and RTD_ROUTER to RTD_UNICAST. If it is needed
to distinguish between these two cases, RTD_DEVICE is equivalent to
IPA_ZERO(a->nh.gw), RTD_ROUTER is then IPA_NONZERO(a->nh.gw).
From now on, we also explicitely want C99 compatible compiler. We assume
that this 20-year norm should be known almost everywhere.

- Tests for several BIRD modules
Based on squashed Pavel Tvrdik's int-test branch, updated for
current int-new branch.
BIRD passed string from configuration to openlog(), which kept it
internally. After reconfiguration the old string was freed, therefore
openlog had invalid copy.
Thanks to Chris Caputo for the original patch.
Kernel protocol calls rt_export_merged(), which used @rte_update_pool for
temporary allocations, supposing it is called from other functions from
rt-table.c that handles locking and flushing of the linpool. Therefore,
linpool was not flushed properly and memory leaked.
Add linpool argument to rt_export_merged() and use @krt_filter_lp when
called from kernel protocol.
Thanks to Justin Cattle and Alexander Frolkin for the bugreport.

accordingly.
Fixed make doc on recent Debian together with moving generated doc into
objdir.

Add code for manipulation with TCP-MD5 keys in the IPsec SA/SP database
at FreeBSD systems. Now, BGP MD5 authentication (RFC 2385) keys are
handled automatically on both Linux and FreeBSD.
Based on patches from Pavel Tvrdik.
Many protocols do almost the same when creating a rte_update request
before calling rte_update2(). This commit should simplify the protocol
side of the route-creation routine.
In BIRD, RX has lower priority than TX with the exception of RX from
control socket. The patch replaces heuristic based on socket type with
explicit mark and uses it for both control socket and BGP session waiting
to be established.
This should avoid an issue when during heavy load, outgoing connection
could connect (TX event), send open, but then failed to receive OPEN /
establish in time, not sending notifications between and therefore
got hold timer expired error from the neighbor immediately after it
finally established the connection.
When a kernel route changed, function krt_learn_scan() noticed that and
replaced the route in internal kernel FIB, but after that, function
krt_learn_prune() failed to propagate the new route to the nest, because
it confused the new route with the (removed) old best route and decided
that the best route did not changed.
Wow, the original code (and the bug) is almost 17 years old.
The patch adds support for channels, structures connecting protocols and
tables and handling most interactions between them. The documentation is
missing yet.
Explicit setting of AF_INET(6|) in IP socket creation. BFD set to listen
on v6, without setting the V6ONLY flag to catch both v4 and v6 traffic.

Since 2.6.19, the netlink API defines RTA_TABLE routing attribute to
allow 32-bit routing table IDs. Using this attribute to index routing
tables at Linux, instead of 8-bit rtm_table field.
Symbol lookup by cf_find_symbol() not only did the lookup but also added
new void symbols allocated from cfg_mem linpool, which gets broken when
lookups are done outside of config parsing, which may lead to crashes
during reconfiguration.
The patch separates lookup-only cf_find_symbol() and config-modifying
cf_get_symbol(), while the later is called only during parsing. Also
new_config and cfg_mem global variables are NULLed outside of parsing.
New data types net_addr and variants (in lib/net.h) describing
network addresses (prefix/pxlen). Modifications of FIB structures
to handle these data types and changing everything to use these
data types instead of prefix/pxlen pairs where possible.
The commit is WiP, some protocols are not yet updated (BGP, Kernel),
and the code contains some temporary scaffolding.
Comments are welcome.
If the number of sockets is too much for select(), we should at least
handle it with proper error messages and reject new sockets instead of
breaking the event loop.
Thanks to Alexander V. Chernikov for the patch.
When a new route was imported from kernel and chosen as preferred, then
the old best route was propagated as a withdraw to the kernel protocol.
Under some circumstances such withdraw propagated to the BSD kernel could
remove the new alien route and thus reverting the import.
When an interface goes down, (Linux) kernel removes routes pointing to
that ifacem but does not send withdraws for them. We rescan the
kernel table to ensure synchronization.
Thanks to Alexander Demenshin for the bugreport.
Although RFC 3542 allows both cases, Theo de Raadt thinks
he knows better, and msg_controllen without last padding
fails on OpenBSD.
Thanks to Job Snijders for the bugreport.
I/O:
- BSD: specify src addr on IP sockets by IP_HDRINCL
- BSD: specify src addr on UDP sockets by IP_SENDSRCADDR
- Linux: specify src addr on IP/UDP sockets by IP_PKTINFO
- IPv6: specify src addr on IP/UDP sockets by IPV6_PKTINFO
- Alternative SKF_BIND flag for binding to IP address
- Allows IP/UDP sockets without tx_hook, on these
sockets a packet is discarded when TX queue is full
- Use consistently SOL_ for socket layer values.
OSPF:
- Packet src addr is always explicitly set
- Support for secondary addresses in BSD
- Dynamic RX/TX buffers
- Fixes some minor buffer overruns
- Interface option 'tx length'
- Names for vlink pseudoifaces (vlinkX)
- Vlinks use separate socket for TX
- Vlinks do not use fixed associated iface
- Fixes TTL for direct unicast packets
- Fixes DONTROUTE for OSPF sockets
- Use ifa->ifname instead of ifa->iface->name
RIP sockets for multiple ifaces collided, because we cannot bind to
a specific iface on BSD. Workarounded by SO_REUSEPORT.
Thanks to Eugene M. Zheganin for the bugreport.
