2023-01-19Decoupling loops from threads to allow fixed thread countMaria Matejka
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.
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.

2022-10-18Filter: 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.
2022-09-16Revert "Reducing filter stack size to allow for lesser thread stack size"Maria Matejka
This reverts commit 2c13759136951ef0e70a3e3c2b2d3c9a387f7ed9.
2022-09-01Default tables are not created unless actually used.Maria Matejka
This allows for setting default table values at the beginning of config file before "master4" and "master6" tables are initialized.
2022-07-15Merge commit 'c70b3198' into thread-next [lots of conflicts]Maria Matejka
There were more conflicts that I'd like to see, most notably in route export. If a bisect identifies this commit with something related, it may be simply true that this commit introduces that bug. Let's hope it doesn't happen.

2022-06-27Filter: Implement soft scopesOndrej Zajicek (work)
Soft scopes are anonymous scopes that most likely do not contain any symbol, so allocating regular scope is postponed when it is really needed.

2022-05-04Explicit definition structures of route attributesMaria Matejka
Changes in internal API: * Every route attribute must be defined as struct ea_class somewhere. * Registration of route attributes known at startup must be done by ea_register_init() from protocol build functions. * Every attribute has now its symbol registered in a global symbol table defined as SYM_ATTRIBUTE * All attribute ID's are dynamically allocated. * Attribute value custom formatting hook is defined in the ea_class. * Attribute names are the same for display and filters, always prefixed by protocol name. Also added some unit testing code for filters with route attributes.
2022-05-04Conf: Symbols are properly scopedMaria Matejka
Now there is a persistent root symbol scope and all scopes have their symbol hashes to store local symbols and not leak any symbol out.
2021-11-22Route export is now asynchronous.Maria Matejka
To allow for multithreaded execution, we need to break the import-export chain and buffer the exports before actually processing them.

2021-06-06Nest: Allow specifying security keys as hex bytes as well as stringsToke Høiland-Jørgensen
Add support for specifying a password in hexadecimal format, The result is the same whether a password is specified as a quoted string or a hex-encoded byte string, this just makes it more convenient to input high-entropy byte strings as MAC keys.
2021-02-10BGP: Add support for BGP hostname capabilityVincent Bernat
This is an implementation of draft-walton-bgp-hostname-capability-02. It is implemented since quite some time for FRR and in datacenter, this gives a nice output to avoid using IP addresses. It is disabled by default. The hostname is retrieved from uname(2) and can be overriden with "hostname" option. The domain name is never set nor displayed. Minor changes by committer.
2020-12-07Nest: Per-channel debug flagsOndrej Zajicek (work)
The patch add support for per-channel debug flags, currently just 'states', 'routes', and 'filters'. Flag 'states' is used for channel state changes, remaining two for routes passed through the channel. The per-protocol debug flags 'routes'/'filters' still enable reporting of routes for all channels, to keep existing behavior. The patch causes minor changes in some log messages.

This is merely a const propagation. There was no problem in there.

2019-06-30Nest: Add command to request graceful restartOndrej Zajicek (work)
When 'graceful down' command is entered, protocols are shut down with regard to graceful restart. Namely Kernel protocol does not remove routes and BGP protocol does not send notification, just closes the connection.

2018-12-06Custom route attributesMaria Matejka
For local route marking purposes, local custom route attributes may be defined. These attributes are seamlessly stripped after export filter to every real protocol like Kernel, BGP or OSPF, they however pass through pipes. We currently allow at most 256 custom attributes. This should be much faster than currently used bgp communities for marking routes.

2017-05-25Conf: Replace keyword and symbol hash table with generic hash table.Ondrej Zajicek (work)
The old hash table had fixed size, which makes it slow for config files with large number of symbols and symbol lookups. The new one is growing according to needs.
