This reverts commit 7144c9ca46f092da33a4e051bbce8f973a3bd8c4.
The onlink attribute implementation collides with the nexthop attribute
behavior in v3; keeping it aside until finding out how to reimplement it
correctly.

For active sessions, ignore received packets with zero local id and
mismatched remote id. That forces a session timeout instead of an
immediate session restart. It makes BFD sessions more resilient to
packet spoofing.
Thanks to André Grüneberg for the suggestion.

Protocols receive if_notify() announcements that are filtered according
to their VRF setting, but during reconfiguration, they access iface_list
directly and forgot to check VRF setting here, which leads to all
interfaces be addedd.
Fix this issue for Babel, OSPF, RAdv and RIP protocols.
Thanks to Marcel Menzel for the bugreport.

On large configurations, too many threads would spawn with one thread
per loop. Therefore, threads may now run multiple loops at once. The
thread count is configurable and may be changed during run. All threads
are spawned on startup.
This change helps with memory bloating. BIRD filters need large
temporary memory blocks to store their stack and also memory management
keeps its hot page storage per-thread.
Known bugs:
* Thread autobalancing is not yet implemented.
* Low latency loops are executed together with standard loops.

If no channel is flushing, table prune doesn't walk over routes in nets
and also doesn't walk over importing channel lists. This helps to
alleviate the memory caching burdens a lot.

Some CLI actions, notably "show route", are run by queuing an event
somewhere else. If the user closes the socket, in case such an action is
being executed, the CLI must free the socket immediately from the error
hook but the pool must remain until the asynchronous event finishes and
cleans everything up.

- Fix THP disable on old systems
- Failed syscalls should use die() instead of bug()
- Our printf uses %ld for s64 instead of long

When BIRD has no free memory mapped, it allocates several pages in
advance just to be sure that there is some memory available if needed.
This hysteresis tactics works quite well to reduce memory ping-ping with
kernel.
Yet it had a subtle bug: this pre-allocation didn't take a memory
coldlist into account, therefore requesting new pages from kernel even
in cases when there were other pages available. This led to slow memory
bloating.
To demonstrate this behavior fast enough to be seen well, you may:
* temporarily set the values in sysdep/unix/alloc.c as follows to
exacerbate the issue:
#define KEEP_PAGES_MAIN_MAX 4096
#define KEEP_PAGES_MAIN_MIN 1000
#define CLEANUP_PAGES_BULK 4096
* create a config file with several millions of static routes
* periodically disable all static protocols and then reload config
* log memory consumption
This should give you a steady growth rate of about 16kB per cycle. If
you don't set the values this high, the issue happens much more slowly,
yet after 14 days of running, you are going to see an OOM kill.
After this fix, pre-allocation uses the memory coldlist to get some hot
pages and the same test as described here gets you a perfectly stable
constant memory consumption (after some initial wobbling).
Thanks to NIX-CZ for reporting and helping to investigate this issue.
Thanks to Santiago for finding the cause in the code.

Add static route attribute to set onlink flag for route next hop. Can be
used to build a dynamically routed IP-in-IP overlay network. Usage:
ifname = "tunl0";
onlink = true;
gw = bgp_next_hop;
|
|
The usage pattern implemented in allocator seems to be incompatible with
transparent huge pages, as memory released using madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)
with regular page size and alignment does not seem to trigger demotion
of huge pages back to regular pages, even when significant number of
pages is released. Even if demotion is triggered when system memory
is low, it still breaks memory accounting.

Add support for kernel route metric/priority, exported as krt_metric
attribute, like in Linux. This should also fix issues with overwriting
or removing system routes.

Log message before aborting due to watchdog timeout. We have to use
async-safe write to debug log, as it is done in signal handler.

Most branching instructions (FI_CONDITION, FI_AND, FI_OR) linearize its
branches in a recursive way, while FI_SWITCH branches are linearized
from parser even before the switch instruction is allocated.
Change linearization of FI_SWITCH branches to make it similar to other
branching instructions. This also fixes an issue with constant
switch evaluation, where linearized branch is mistaken for
non-linearized during switch construction.
Thanks to Jiten Kumar Pathy for the bugreport.

Some of these new BGP role keywords use generic names that collides with
user-defined symbols. Allow them to be redefined. Also remove duplicit
keyword definition for 'prefer'.

During backporting attribute changes from 3.0-branch, some internal
attributes (RIP iface and Babel seqno) leaked to 'show route all' output.
Allow protocols to hide specific attributes with GA_HIDDEN value.
Thanks to Nigel Kukard for the bugreport.

In some cases 16-way tries are too memory-heavy, while 4-way are
almost as efficient as the original 2-way ones.

There were some confusion about validity and usage of pflags, which
caused incorrect usage after some flags from (now removed) protocol-
specific area were moved to pflags.
We state that pflags:
- Are secondary data used by protocol-specific hooks
- Can be changed on an existing route (in contrast to copy-on-write
for primary data)
- Are irrelevant for propagation (not propagated when changed)
- Are specific to a routing table (not propagated by pipe)
The patch did these fixes:
- Do not compare pflags in rte_same(), as they may keep cached values
like BGP_REF_STALE, causing spurious propagation.
- Initialize pflags to zero in rte_get_temp(), avoid initialization in
protocol code, fixing at least two forgotten initializations (krt
and one case in babel).
- Improve documentation about pflags

The seqno request retransmission handling was tracking the destination
that a forwarded request was being sent to and always retransmitting to
that same destination. This is unnecessary because we only need to
retransmit requests we originate ourselves, not those we forward on
behalf of others; in fact retransmitting on behalf of others can lead to
exponential multiplication of requests, which would be bad.
So rework the seqno request tracking so that instead of storing the
destination of a request, we just track whether it was a request that we
forwarded on behalf of another node, or if it was a request we originated
ourselves. Forwarded requests are not retransmitted, they are only used
for duplicate suppression, and for triggering an update when satisfied.
If we end up originating a request that we previously forwarded, we
"upgrade" the old request and restart the retransmit counter.
One complication with this is that requests sent in response to unfeasible
updates (section 3.8.2.2 of the RFC) have to be sent as unicast to a
particular peer. However, we don't really need to retransmit those as
there's no starvation when sending such a request; so we just change
such requests to be one-off unicast requests that are not subject to
retransmission or duplicate suppression. This is the same behaviour as
babeld has for such requests.
