If export filter is changed during reconfiguration and a route disappears
between reconfiguration and refeed (e.g., if the route is a static route
also removed during the reconfiguration), the route is not withdrawn.
The patch fixes that by adding tx reconfiguration timestamp.
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().
The bgpmask literals can include expressions. This is OK but they have
to be interpreted as soon as the code is run, not in the time the code
is used as value.
This led to strange behavior like rewriting bgpmasks when they shan't
be rewritten:
function mask_generator(int as)
{
return [= * as * =];
}
function another()
bgpmask m1;
bgpmask m2;
{
m1 = mask_generator(10);
m2 = mask_generator(20);
if (m1 == m2) {
print("strange"); # this would happen
}
}
Moreover, sending this to CLI would cause stack overflow and knock down the
whole BIRD, as soon as there is at least one route to execute the given
filter on.
show route filter bgpmask mmm; bgppath ppp; { ppp = +empty+; mmm = [= (ppp ~ mmm) =]; print(mmm); accept; }
The magic match operator (~) inside the bgpmask literal would try to
resolve mmm, which points to the same bgpmask so it would resolve
itself, call the magic match operator and vice versa.
After this patch, the bgpmask literal will get resolved as soon as it's
assigned to mmm and it also will return a type error as bool is not
convertible to ASN in BIRD.
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.
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.
Several changes and bugfixes in Babel, namely:
- Exported route parameters stored directly in route table entry
- Exported non-babel routes no longer stored in per-entry route list
- Route update, selection and retraction simplified and fixed
- Route feasibility is evalualated per update and stored with route
- Unreachable route handling fixed, based on hold interval
- Added 'show babel routes' command
Overall, it fixes some issues with proper propagation of triggered
updates, making Babel convergence after topology change almost
instant.
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.
The patch implements Default Router Preferences and More-Specific Routes
(RFC 4191) for RAdv protocol, allowing to announce router preference and
more specific routes in router advertisements. Routes can be exported to
RAdv like to regular routing protocols.
Some cleanups, bugfixes and other changes done by Ondrej Zajicek.
The patch implements BGP Administrative Shutdown Communication (RFC 8203)
allowing BGP operators to pass messages related to BGP session
administrative shutdown/restart. It handles both transmit and receive of
shutdown messages. Messages are logged and may be displayed by show
protocol all command.
Thanks to Job Snijders for the basic patch.
