with protocols wanting to use the same port on the same interface
during reconfiguration time.
How to use locks: In the if_notify hook, just order locks for the
interfaces you want to work with and do the real socket opening after the
lock hook function gets called. When you stop using the socket, close
it and rfree() the lock.
Please update your protocols to use the new locking mechanism.
of that EA in the same list and causes ea_find() to fail unless you add
EA_ALLOW_UNDEF to the second argument.
ea_sort (resp. ea_do_prune()) removes all undef'd attributes from the list.
I hope this works :)
To define a new command, just add a new rule to the gramar:
CF_CLI(COMMAND NAME, arguments, help-args, help-text) {
what-should-the-command-do
} ;
where <arguments> are appended to the RHS of the rule, <help-args> is the
argument list as shown in the help and <help-text> is description of the
command for the help.
<what-should-the-command-do> is a C code snippet to be executed. It should
not take too much time to execute. If you want to print out a lot of
information, you can schedule a routine to be called after the current
buffer is flushed by making cli->cont point to the routine (see the
TEST LONG command definition for an example); if the connection is closed
in the meantime, cli->cleanup gets called.
You can access `struct cli' belonging to the connection you're currently
servicing as this_cli, but only during parse time, not from routines scheduled
for deferred execution.
Functions to call inside command handlers:
cli_printf(cli, code, printf-args) -- print text to CLI connection,
<code> is message code as assigned in doc/reply_codes or a negative
one if it's a continuation line.
cli_msg(code, printf-args) -- the same for this_cli.
Use 'sock -x bird.ctl' for connecting to the CLI until a client is written.
we want to allow filter and similar complex constructs to be used in commands
and we should avoid code duplication), only with CLI_MARKER token prepended
before the whole input.
Defined macro CF_CLI(cmd, args, help) for defining CLI commands in .Y files.
The first argument specifies the command itself, the remaining two arguments
are copied to the help file (er, will be copied after the help file starts
to exist). This macro automatically creates a skeleton rule for the command,
you only need to append arguments as in:
CF_CLI(STEAL MONEY, <$>, [[Steal <$> US dollars or equivalent in any other currency]]): NUM {
cli_msg(0, "%d$ stolen", $3);
} ;
Also don't forget to reset lexer state between inputs.
but the core routines are there and seem to be working.
o lib/ipv6.[ch] written
o Lexical analyser recognizes IPv6 addresses and when in IPv6
mode, treats pure IPv4 addresses as router IDs.
o Router ID must be configured manually on IPv6 systems.
o Added SCOPE_ORGANIZATION for org-scoped IPv6 multicasts.
o Fixed few places where ipa_(hton|ntoh) was called as a function
returning converted address.
The changes are just too extensive for lazy me to list them
there, but see the comment at the top of sysdep/unix/krt.c.
The code got a bit more ifdeffy than I'd like, though.
Also fixed a bunch of FIXME's and added a couple of others. :)
o Make proto_config->table always point to the right
table even if it should be the default one.
o When shutting down, kill protocol in reverse order
of their priority.
o When stopping a protocol down, disconnect it from
routing tables immediately instead of waiting
for the delayed protocol flush event.
Also added a protocol instance counter (used by KRT code
in very magic ways).
o Parsing of interface patterns moved to generic code,
introduced this_ipatt which works similarly to this_iface.
o Interface patterns now support selection by both interface
names and primary IP addresses.
o Proto `direct' updated.
o RIP updated as well, it also seems the memory corruption
bug there is gone.
definitely gone. Both rte_update() and rte_discard() have an additional
argument telling which table should they modify.
Also, rte_update() no longer walks the whole protocol list -- each table
has a list of all protocols connected to this table and having the
rt_notify hook set. Each protocol can also freely decide (by calling
proto_add_announce_hook) to connect to any other table, but it will
be probably used only by the table-to-table protocol.
The default debugging dumps now include all routing tables and also
all their connections.
addresses per interface (needed for example for IPv6 support).
Visible changes:
o struct iface now contains a list of all interface addresses (represented
by struct ifa), iface->addr points to the primary address (if any).
o Interface has IF_UP set iff it's up and it has a primary address.
o IF_UP is now independent on IF_IGNORED (i.e., you need to test IF_IGNORED
in the protocols; I've added this, but please check).
o The if_notify_change hook has been simplified (only one interface pointer
etc.).
o Introduced a ifa_notify_change hook. (For now, only the Direct protocol
does use it -- it's wise to just listen to device routes in all other
protocols.)
o Removed IF_CHANGE_FLAGS notifier flag (it was meaningless anyway).
o Updated all the code except netlink (I'll look at it tomorrow) to match
the new semantics (please look at your code to ensure I did it right).
Things to fix:
o Netlink.
o Make krt-iface interpret "eth0:1"-type aliases as secondary addresses.
