The bug caused that krt_prefsrc attribute was not processed when a route
received from a kernel protocol was exported to another kernel protocol.
Thanks to Sergey Popovich for a bugreport.
Several new configure command variants:
configure undo - undo last reconfiguration
configure timeout - configure with scheduled undo if not confirmed in timeout
configure confirm - confirm last configuration
configure check - just parse and validate config file
When 'import keep rejected' protocol option is activated, routes
rejected by the import filter are kept in the routing table, but they
are hidden and not propagated to other protocols. It is possible to
examine them using 'show route rejected'.
Allows to send and receive multiple routes for one network by one BGP
session. Also contains necessary core changes to support this (routing
tables accepting several routes for one network from one protocol).
It needs some more cleanup before merging to the master branch.
In usual configuration, such export is already restricted
with the aid of the direct protocol but there are some
races that can circumvent it. This makes it harder to
break kernel device routes. Also adds an option to
disable this restriction.
When device protocol goes down, interfaces should be flushed
asynchronously (in the same way like routes from protocols are flushed),
when protocol goes to DOWN/HUNGRY.
This fixes the problem with static routes staying in kernel routing
table after BIRD shutdown.
- BSD kernel syncer is now self-conscious and can learn alien routes
- important bugfix in BSD kernel syncer (crash after protocol restart)
- many minor changes and bugfixes in kernel syncers and neighbor cache
- direct protocol does not generate host and link local routes
- min_scope check is removed, all routes have SCOPE_UNIVERSE by default
- also fixes some remaining compiler warnings
It seems that by adding one pipe-specific exception to route
announcement code and by adding one argument to rt_notify() callback i
could completely eliminate the need for the phantom protocol instance
and therefore make the code more straightforward. It will also fix some
minor bugs (like ignoring debug flag changes from the command line).
KRF_INSTALLED flag was not cleared during reconfiguration
that lead to not removing routes during reconfigure when
export rules changed.
We also should not try to remove routes we didi not installed,
on Linux this leads to warnings (as kernel checks route source
field and do not allow to remove non-bird routes) but we should
not rely on it.
Here is a patch fixing a bug that causes breakage of a local routing
table during shutdown of Bird. The problem was caused by shutdown
of 'device' protocol before shutdown of 'kernel' protocol. When
'device' protocol went down, the route (with local network prefix)
From different protocol (BGP or OSPF) became preferred and installed
to the kernel routing table. Such routes were broken (like
192.168.1.0/24 via 192.168.1.2). I think it is also the cause
of problem reported by Martin Kraus.
The patch disables updating of kernel routing table during shutdown of
Bird. I am not sure whether this is the best way to fix it, I would
prefer to forbid 'kernel' protocol to overwrite routes with
'proto kernel'.
The patch also fixes a problem that during shutdown sometimes routes
created by Bird remained in the kernel routing table.
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.)
