While having the filter code still reentrant if we really need,
the compiler can now do constant propagation and address the
thread local storage directly to save some computation time.
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.
This is a major change of how the filters are interpreted. If everything
works how it should, it should not affect you unless you are hacking the
filters themselves.
Anyway, this change should make a huge improvement in the filter performance
as previous benchmarks showed that our major problem lies in the
recursion itself.
There are also some changes in nest and protocols, related mostly to
spreading const declarations throughout the whole BIRD and also to
refactored dynamic attribute definitions. The need of these came up
during the whole work and it is too difficult to split out these
not-so-related changes.
