Filter code used 'aux' integer field of 'symbol' struct to store ptr
to next symbol and both 'aux2' and 'def' fields for value.
Changed to just 'def' for value and 'aux2' for ptr to next symbol.
Also another minor bugfix.
When capability related error is received, next connect will be
without capabilities. Also cease error subcodes descriptions
(according to [RFC4486]) are added.
BGP keeps its copy of configuration ptr and didn't update it during
reconfiguration. But old configuration is freed during reconfiguration.
That leads to unnecessary reset of BGP connection during reconfiguration
(old conf is corrupted and therefore different) and possibly other strange
behavior.
Fixes two race conditions causing crash of Bird, several unhandled
cases during BGP initialization, and some other bugs. Also changes
handling of startup delay to be more useful and implement
reporting of last error in 'show protocols' command.
WALK_LIST_DELSAFE (in ev_run_list) is not safe with regard
to deletion of next node. When some events are rescheduled
during event execution, it may lead to deletion of next
node and some events are skipped. Such skipped nodes remain
in temporary list on stack and the last of them contains
'next' pointer to stack area. When this event is later
scheduled, it damages stack area trying to remove it from
the list, which leads to random crashes with funny
backtraces :-) .
The core state machine was broken - it didn't free resources
in START -> DOWN transition and might freed resources after
UP -> STOP transition before protocol turned down. It leads
to deadlock on olock acquisition when lock was not freed
during previous stop.
The current behavior is that resources, allocated during
DOWN -> * transition, are freed in * -> DOWN transition,
and flushing (scheduled in UP -> *) just counteract
feeding (scheduled in * -> UP). Protocol fell down
when both flushing is done (if needed) and protocol
reports DOWN.
BTW, is thera a reason why neighbour cache item acquired
by protocol is not tracked by resource mechanism?
When protocol started, feeding was scheduled. If protocol
got down before feeding was executed, then function
responsible for connecting protocol to kernel routing
tables was called after the function responsible for
disconnecting, then resource pool of protocol was freed,
but freed linked list structures remains in the list.
shows only parts of larger outputs (for example 'show route all').
It seems that birdc reads (from bird) and writes (to stdout)
everything but during execution of some readline code some already
written output disappeared (although it is fflush()ed and
tcdrain()ed).
As birdc reads from stdin when select said there are some data,
O_NONBLOCK for stdin is unnecessary and when it is removed,
i didn't notified this problem.
representing a name of the protocol that originated the route.
Strings can be compared using = or matched using ~. Routes can
be filtered, for example:
show route where proto ~ "bgp1*"
values for MD5 password ID changed during reconfigure, Second
bug is that BIRD chooses password in first-fit manner, but RFC
says that it should use the one with the latest generate-from.
It also modifies the syntax for multiple passwords.
Now it is possible to just add more 'password' statements
to the interface section and it is not needed to use
'passwords' section. Old syntax can be used too.
RFC says that only connections in OpenConfirm and Established state
should participate in connection collision detection.
The current implementation leads to race condition when both sides
are trying to connect at the almost same time, then both sides
receive OPEN message by different connections at the almost same
time and close the other connection. Both connections are
closed and the both sides end in start/idle or start/active
state.
Two new CLI commands for OSPF giving nice informative (and still machine
parsable) representation of OSPF network graph (based on datas from the
LSA database).
The first command (show ospf topology) shows routers, networks and stub
networks, The second command (show ospf state) shows also external
routes and area-external networks and routers propagated by given area
boundary router.
The code generating LSAs for PTP OSPF links is buggy. The old behavior
is that it generates PTP link if there is a full/ptp neighbor and stub
link if there isn't. According to RFC 2328, the correct behavior is to
generate stub link in both cases (in the first case together with PTP
link).
And because of buggy detection of unnumbered networks, for numbered
networks the code creates stub links with 0.0.0.0/32.
Bird sometimes reported 'bird: nl_parse_link: Malformed message received'.
The cause is that bird asynchronously received netlink packet from
wireless driver about some wireless event on its link layer. In that
case bird shouldn't complain.
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.
- Old MED handling was completely different from behavior
specified in RFCs - for example they havn't been propagated
to neighboring areas.
- Update tie-breaking according to RFC 4271.
- Change default value for 'default bgp_med' configuration
option according to RFC 4271.
