2022-12-11BSD: Workaround for direct routes on FreeBSD 13.0Ondrej Zajicek
FreeBSD 13.0 added some safechecks for syscalls, rejecting sockaddrs that are too small, later versions loosen up the check.
2022-12-10BGP: Log unacceptable hold time as decimal numberOndrej Zajicek
Thanks Johannes Moos for the suggestion.
2022-12-10CLI: Fix for long-lived sessions during high loadsOndrej Zajicek
When there is a continuos stream of CLI commands, cli_get_command() always returns 1 (there is a new command). Anyway, the socket receive buffer was reset only when there was no command at all, leading to a strange behavior: after a while, the CLI receive buffer came to its end, then read() was called with zero size buffer, it returned 0 which was interpreted as EOF. The patch fixes that by resetting the buffer position after each command and moving remaining data at the beginning of buffer. Thanks to Maria Matejka for examining the bug and for the original bugfix.

2022-12-09Doc: Document issue with import tablesOndrej Zajicek
The import table does not work reliably together with re-evaluation of routes due to recursive next hops or flowspec validation. We will at least document that here, as import tables are completely redesigned and this issue is fixed in BIRD 3.x branch.
2022-12-09Netlink on FreeBSD supportAlexander V. Chernikov
Netlink support was added to FreeBSD recently. It is not as full-featured as its Linux counterpart yet, however the added subset is enough to make a routing daemon work. Specifically, it supports multiple tables, multipath, nexthops and nexthops groups. No MPLS support yet. The attached change adds 'bsd-netlink’ sysconf target, allowing to build both netlink & rtsock versions on FreeBSD.
2022-12-09BGP: Improve handling of hold and keepalive timersOndrej Zajicek
The effective keepalive time now scales relative to the negotiated hold time, to maintain proportion between the keepalive time and the hold time. This avoids issues when both keepalive and hold times were configured, the hold time was negotiated to a smaller value, but the keepalive time stayed the same. Add new options 'min hold time' and 'min keepalive time', which reject session attempts with too small hold time. Improve validation of config options an their documentation. Thanks to Alexander Zubkov and Sergei Goriunov for suggestions.
2022-12-06Nest: Avoid spurious announcements triggered by filtered routesOndrej Zajicek
When filtered routes (enabled by 'import keep filtered' option) are updated, they trigger announcements by rte_announce(). For regular channels (e.g. type RA_OPTIMAL or RA_ANY) such announcement is just ignored, but in case of RA_ACCEPTED (BGP peer with 'secondary' option) it just reannounces the old (and still valid) best route. The patch ensures that such no-change is ignored even for these channels.
2022-11-30CI: Remove docker rebuild phaseOndrej Zajicek
It is unnnecessary and takes too much time

2022-11-09Conf: Make 'configure check' command restrictedOndrej Zajicek
While it does not directly change BIRD state, it can trigger reading arbitrary files and eating significant memory.
2022-11-09Conf: Free stored old config before parsing new oneOndrej Zajicek
BIRD keeps a previous (old) configuration for the purpose of undo. The existing code frees it after a new configuration is successfully parsed during reconfiguration. That causes memory usage spikes as there are temporarily three configurations (old, current, and new). The patch changes it to free the old one before parsing the new one (as user already requested a new config). The disadvantage is that undo is not available after failed reconfiguration.
2022-11-08Added more netlab tests for automatic run.Maria Matejka
This commit uses bird-tools in version f35e8bce829f4bff61ec7eb07ec9c67aa867bc9a
2022-11-03Page allocator: Fixed minor bugs and added commentaryMaria Matejka
2022-11-02Memory pages are not munmapped, instead we just madvise()Maria Matejka
Memory unmapping causes slow address space fragmentation, leading in extreme cases to failing to allocate pages at all. Removing this problem by keeping all the pages allocated to us, yet calling madvise() to let kernel dispose of them. This adds a little complexity and overhead as we have to keep the pointers to the free pages, therefore to hold e.g. 1 GB of 4K pages with 8B pointers, we have to store 2 MB of data.

2022-10-18Doc: Add documentation for "show route (import|export) table"Alexander Zubkov
2022-10-18Filter: Fix handling of variables in anonymous filtersOndrej Zajicek
Define scope for anonymous filters, and also explicitly distinguish block scopes and function/filter scopes instead of using anonymous / named distinction. Anonymous filters forgot to push scope, so variables for them were in fact defined in the top scope and therefore they shared a frame. This got broken after rework of variables, which assumed that there is a named scope for every function/filter.
2022-10-12Netlink: Parse onlink flag even on direct routesOndrej Zajicek
While onlink flag is meaningful only with explicit next hops, it can be defined also on direct routes. Parse it also in this case to avoid periodic updates of the same route. Thanks to Marcin Saklak for the bugreport.
2022-10-10BGP: Add option 'next hop prefer global'Ondrej Zajicek
Add BGP channel option 'next hop prefer global' that modifies BGP recursive next hop resolution to use global next hop IPv6 address instead of link-local next hop IPv6 address for immediate next hop of received routes.
2022-10-03Nest: Add channel config flag to distinguish new or copyOndrej Zajicek
It is useful to distinguish whehter channel config returned from channel_config_get() was allocated new, or existing from template. Caller may want to initialize new ones.
2022-10-03Filter: Add some minor functions for f_tree and ECOndrej Zajicek
Add some supportive functions for f_tree and EC. These functions are used by L3VPN code.
2022-10-03BGP: Some fixes related to VRF and MPLS interactionsOndrej Zajicek
- When next hop is reset to local IP, we should remove BGP label stack, as it is related to original next hop - BGP next hop or immediate next hop from one VRF should not be passed to another VRF, as they are different IP namespaces
2022-10-03BGP: Do not assume that all channels are struct bgp_channelOndrej Zajicek
In principle, the channel list is a list of parent struct proto and can contain general structures of type struct channel, That is useful e.g. for adding MPLS channels to BGP.

2022-09-27KRT: Fix setting default preferenceAlexander Zubkov
Changes in commit eb937358 broke setting of channel preference for alien routes learned during scan. The preference was set only for async routes. Move common attribute processing part of functions krt_learn_async() and krt_learn_async() to a separate function to have only one place for such changes.
2022-09-16Revert "Reducing filter stack size to allow for lesser thread stack size"Maria Matejka
This reverts commit 2c13759136951ef0e70a3e3c2b2d3c9a387f7ed9.
2022-09-06Better profylaction recursive route loopsMaria Matejka
In some specific configurations, it was possible to send BIRD into an infinite loop of recursive next hop resolution. This was caused by route priority inversion. To prevent priority inversions affecting other next hops, we simply refuse to resolve any next hop if the best route for the matching prefix is recursive or any other route with the same preference is recursive. Next hop resolution doesn't change route priority, therefore it is perfectly OK to resolve BGP next hops e.g. by an OSPF route, yet if the same (or covering) prefix is also announced by iBGP, by retraction of the OSPF route we would get a possible priority inversion.

2022-07-26Netlink: Restrict route replace for IPv6Ondrej Zajicek
Seems like the previous patch was too optimistic, as route replace is still broken even in Linux 4.19 LTS (but fixed in Linux 5.10 LTS) for: ip route add 2001:db8::/32 via fe80::1 dev eth0 ip route replace 2001:db8::/32 dev eth0 It ends with two routes instead of just the second. The issue is limited to direct and special type (e.g. unreachable) routes, the patch restricts route replace for cases when the new route is a regular route (with a next hop address).
2022-07-25Netlink: Simplify handling of IPv6 ECMP routesOndrej Zajicek
When IPv6 ECMP support first appeared in Linux kernel, it used different API than IPv4 ECMP. Individual next hops were updated and announced separately, instead of using RTA_MULTIPATH as in IPv4. This has several drawbacks and requires complex code to merge received notifications to one multipath route. When Linux came with IPv6 RTA_MULTIPATH support, the initial versions were somewhat buggy, so we kept using the old API for updates (splitting multipath routes to sequences of route updates), while accepting both old-style routes and RTA_MULTIPATH routes in scans / notifications. As IPv6 RTA_MULTIPATH support is here for a long time, this patch fully switches Netlink to the IPv6 RTA_MULTIPATH API and removes old complex code for handling individual next hop announces. The required Linux version is at least 4.11 for reliable operation. Thanks to Daniel Gröber for the original patch.

2022-07-24KRT: Scan routing tables separetely on linux to avoid congestionOndrej Zajicek
Remove compile-time sysdep option CONFIG_ALL_TABLES_AT_ONCE, replace it with runtime ability to run either separate table scans or shared scan. On Linux, use separate table scans by default when the netlink socket option NETLINK_GET_STRICT_CHK is available, but retreat to shared scan when it fails. Running separate table scans has advantages where some routing tables are managed independently, e.g. when multiple routing daemons are running on the same machine, as kernel routing table modification performance is significantly reduced when the table is modified while it is being scanned. Thanks Daniel Gröber for the original patch and Toke Høiland-Jørgensen for suggestions.

This reverts commit cee0cd148c9b71bf47d007c850193b5fbf9486c1. This change is not needed in version 2 and the surrounding code has disappeared mostly in version 3.
2022-07-12BGP: Minor improvements to BGP rolesOndrej Zajicek
Add support for bgp_otc in filters and warning for configuration inside confederations.
2022-07-11BGP: Implement BGP rolesEugene Bogomazov
Implement BGP roles as described in RFC 9234. It is a mechanism for route leak prevention and automatic route filtering based on common BGP topology relationships. It defines role capability (controlled by 'local role' option) and OTC route attribute, which is used for automatic route filtering and leak detection. Minor changes done by commiter.
