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.
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.
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.
Implemented eval command can be used to evaluate expressions.
The patch also documents echo command and allows to use log classes
instead of integer as a mask for echo.
Interfaces for OSPF and RIP could be configured to use (and request)
TTL 255 for traffic to direct neighbors.
Thanks to Simon Dickhoven for the original patch for RIPng.
