The temporary atttributes are no longer removed by ea_do_prune(), but
they are undefined by store_tmp_attrs() protocol hooks. This fixes
several bugs where temporary attributes were removed when they should
not or not removed when they should be. The flag EAF_TEMP is no longer
needed and was removed.
Update all protocol make_tmp_attrs() / store_tmp_attrs() hooks to use
helper functions and to handle unset attributes properly.
Also fix some related bugs like improper handling of empty eattr list.
Keep track of whether OSPF tmpattrs are actually defined for given route
(using flags in rte->pflags). That makes them behave more like real
eattrs so a protocol can define just a subset of them or they can be
undefined by filters.
Do not set ospf_metric2 for other than type 2 external OSPF routes and do
not set ospf_tag for non-external OSPF routes. That also fixes a bug
where internal/inter-area route propagated from one OSPF instance to
another is initiated with infinity ospf_metric2.
Thanks to Yaroslav Dronskii for the bugreport.
Route flags are mosty internal state of rtable, they are not significant
to whether a route has changed. With the old code, all routes received as
a part of enhanced route refresh are always re-announced to other peers
due to change in REF_STALE.
When area is reconfigured to a different type, we need to flush LSAs as
they may not be valid (e.g. NSSA-LSA for non-NSSA area). Also, when we
have have just one OSPF area and that changes type, we could restart OSPF
as there is no state to keep anyway. That solves issue with different
handling of external routes exported to OSPF based of main area type.
External LSAs originated by OSPF routers with VPN-PE behavior enabled are
marked by DN flag and they are ignored by other OSPF routers with VPN-PE
enabled.
One of previous workarounds for phantom route avoidance breaks export
counters by expanding sending of spurious withdraws, which are send when
we are not sure whether we have advertised that routes in the past.
If not, then export counter is decreased, but it was not increased
before, so it overflows under zero.
The patch fixes that by sendung spurious withdraws, but not counting them
on export counter. That may lead to error in the other direction, but that
happens only as a race condition (i.e., in normal operation filters
return proper values about old route export state).
Direct acknowledgements should be send as unicast to a corresponding
neighbor. Only delayed acks should be send as multicast to all/designated
routers.
Master may free last DBDES packet immediately. Slave must wait dead
interval before freeing last DBDES packet and then reject duplicate
DBDES packets with SeqNumberMismatch.
The earlier fix loosen conditions for not running filters on old
route when deciding about route propagation to a protocol to avoid
issues with ghost routes in some race conditions.
Unfortunately, the fix also caused back-propagation of withdraws. For
regular updates, back-propagation is prevented in import_control hooks,
but these are not called on withdraws. For them, import_control hooks
are called on old routes instead, changing (old, NULL) notification
to (NULL, NULL), which is ignored. By not calling export processing
in some cases, the withdraw is not ignored and is back-propagated.
This patch fixes that by contract conditions so the earlier fix is not
applied to back-propagated updates.
Since v2 we have multiple listening BGP sockets, and each BGP protocol
has associated one of them. Use listening socket that accepted the
incoming connection as a key in the dispatch process so only BGP
protocols assocaited with that listening socket can be selected.
This is necesary for proper dispatch when VRFs are used.
FreeBSD silently changes TTL to 1 when MSG_DONTROUTE is used, even when
it is explicitly set to another value. That breaks TTL security sockets,
including BFD which always uses TTL 255. Bad FreeBSD!
This protocol is highly experimental and nobody should use it in
production. Anyway it may help you getting some insight into what eats
so much time in filter processing.
In some circumstances (old LSA flushed but not acknowledged and not
removed) origination of a new LSA may wrongly triggers LSA collision
code. The patch fixes that.
Thanks to Asbjorn Mikkelsen for the bugreport and @mdelagueronniere
for the original patch.
Extend 'next hop keep' and 'next hop self' options to have boolean values
(enabled / disabled) and also values 'ibgp'/ 'ebgp' to restrict it to
routes received from IBGP / EBGP. This allows to have it enabled by
default in some cases, matches features of other implementations, and
allows to handle some strange cases like EBGP border router with 'next
hop self' also doing IBGP route reflecting.
Change default of 'next hop keep' to enabled for route servers, and
'ibgp' for route reflectors.
Update documentation for these options.
The patch d506263d... blocked adding channel during reconfiguration,
that broke protocols which use the same functiona also during init.
This patch fixes that.
When route is exported to regular EBGP, local ASN should be prepended to
AS_PATH. When route is propagated by route server (between RS-marked
EBGP peers), it should not change AS_PATH. Question is what to do in
other cases (from non-RS EBGP, IBGP, or locally originated to RS EBGP).
In 1.6.x, we did not prepend ASN in non-RS EBGP or IBGP to RS EBGP, but
we prepended in local to RS EBGP.
In 2.0.x, we changed that so only RS-EBGP to RS-EBGP is not prepended.
We received some negative responses (thanks to heisenbug and Alexander
Zubkov), we decided to change it back. One reason is that it is simple
to modify the AS_PATH by filters, but not possible to un-modify
changes done by BGP itself. Also, as 1.6.x behavior was not really
consistent, the final behavior is that ASN is never prepended when
exported to RS EBGP, like to IBGP.
Note that i do not express an opinion about whether such configurations
are even reasonable.
