+/**
+ * DOC: Graceful restart recovery
+ *
+ * Graceful restart of a router is a process when the routing plane (e.g. BIRD)
+ * restarts but both the forwarding plane (e.g kernel routing table) and routing
+ * neighbors keep proper routes, and therefore uninterrupted packet forwarding
+ * is maintained.
+ *
+ * BIRD implements graceful restart recovery by deferring export of routes to
+ * protocols until routing tables are refilled with the expected content. After
+ * start, protocols generate routes as usual, but routes are not propagated to
+ * them, until protocols report that they generated all routes. After that,
+ * graceful restart recovery is finished and the export (and the initial feed)
+ * to protocols is enabled.
+ *
+ * When graceful restart recovery need is detected during initialization, then
+ * enabled protocols are marked with @gr_recovery flag before start. Such
+ * protocols then decide how to proceed with graceful restart, participation is
+ * voluntary. Protocols could lock the recovery by proto_graceful_restart_lock()
+ * (stored in @gr_lock flag), which means that they want to postpone the end of
+ * the recovery until they converge and then unlock it. They also could set
+ * @gr_wait before advancing to %PS_UP, which means that the core should defer
+ * route export to that protocol until the end of the recovery. This should be
+ * done by protocols that expect their neigbors to keep the proper routes
+ * (kernel table, BGP sessions with BGP graceful restart capability).
+ *
+ * The graceful restart recovery is finished when either all graceful restart
+ * locks are unlocked or when graceful restart wait timer fires.
