2023-04-24Resource pools are now bound with domains.Maria Matejka
Memory allocation is a fragile part of BIRD and we need checking that everybody is using the resource pools in an appropriate way. To assure this, all the resource pools are associated with locking domains and every resource manipulation is thoroughly checked whether the appropriate locking domain is locked. With transitive resource manipulation like resource dumping or mass free operations, domains are locked and unlocked on the go, thus we require pool domains to have higher order than their parent to allow for this transitive operations. Adding pool locking revealed some cases of insecure memory manipulation and this commit fixes that as well.

2023-04-17IO: added a specific loop pickup group for BFD; to be done better in futureMaria Matejka
2023-04-04Sockets: Unified API for main and other loopsMaria Matejka
Now sk_open() requires an explicit IO loop to open the socket in. Also specific functions for socket RX pause / resume are added to allow for BGP corking. And last but not least, socket reloop is now synchronous to resolve weird cases of the target loop stopping before actually picking up the relooped socket. Now the caller must ensure that both loops are locked while relooping, and this way all sockets always have their respective loop.

2022-07-18Event lists rewritten to a single linked listMaria Matejka
In multithreaded environment, we need to pass messages between workers. This is done by queuing events to their respective queues. The double-linked list is not really useful for that as it needs locking everywhere. This commit rewrites the event subsystem to use a single-linked list where events are enqueued by a single atomic instruction and the queue is processed after atomically moving the whole queue aside.
2021-11-22Converting the former BFD loop to a universal IO loop and protocol loop.Maria Matejka
There is a simple universal IO loop, taking care of events, timers and sockets. Primarily, one instance of a protocol should use exactly one IO loop to do all its work, as is now done in BFD. Contrary to previous versions, the loop is now launched and cleaned by the nest/proto.c code, allowing for a protocol to just request its own loop by setting the loop's lock order in config higher than the_bird. It is not supported nor checked if any protocol changed the requested lock order in reconfigure. No protocol should do it at all.
