2022-10-12Attribute blocks are now allocated from slabs instead of malloc()Maria Matejka
2022-08-03Merge commit '038fcf1c' into thread-nextMaria Matejka
It was necessary to update the code to match removal of rta, as well as existence of cached nested attribute lists.

2022-07-11Export tables merged with BGP prefix hashMaria Matejka
Until now, if export table was enabled, Nest was storing exactly the route before rt_notify() was called on it. This was quite sloppy and spooky and it also wasn't reflecting the changes BGP does before sending. And as BGP is storing the routes to be sent anyway, we are simply keeping the already-sent routes in there to better rule out unneeded reexports. Some of the route attributes (IGP metric, preference) make no sense in BGP, therefore these will be probably replaced by something sensible. Also the nexthop shown in the short output is the BGP nexthop.

2022-06-20Import tables are stored as an attribute layer inside the main tables.Maria Matejka
The separate import tables were too memory-greedy, there is no need for them being stored as full-sized tables.

There were quite a lot of conflicts in flowspec validation code which ultimately led to some code being a bit rewritten, not only adapted from this or that branch, yet it is still in a limit of a merge.
2022-05-30Squashing the route attribute structure into one level.Maria Matejka
For now, all route attributes are stored as eattrs in ea_list. This should make route manipulation easier and it also allows for a layered approach of route attributes where updates from filters will be stored as an overlay over the previous version.
2022-05-30Route destination field merged with nexthop attribute; splitting flowspec ↵Maria Matejka
validation result out. As there is either a nexthop or another destination specification (or othing in case of ROAs and Flowspec), it may be merged together. This code is somehow quirky and should be replaced in future by better implementation of nexthop. Also flowspec validation result has its own attribute now as it doesn't have anything to do with route nexthop.
2022-05-26Moved hostentry to eattrMaria Matejka
2022-05-26Moved nexthop from struct rta to extended attribute.Maria Matejka
This doesn't do anything more than to put the whole structure inside adata. The overall performance is certainly going downhill; we'll optimize this later. Anyway, this is one of the latest items inside rta and in several commits we may drop rta completely and move to eattrs-only routes.

2022-05-04Moved route source attribute (RTS_*) to eattrsMaria Matejka
2022-05-04Removing the route scope attribute. Use custom attributes instead.Maria Matejka
The route scope attribute was used for simple user route marking. As there is a better tool for this (custom attributes), the old and limited way can be dropped.

2022-05-04Moved route preference to eattrsMaria Matejka
2022-05-04Joined the RTA igp_metric and EA igp_metric attributesMaria Matejka
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.

2022-05-04Unified attribute and filter typesMaria Matejka
This commit removes the EAF_TYPE_* namespace completely and also for route attributes, filter-based types T_* are used. This simplifies fetching and setting route attributes from filters. Also, there is now union bval which serves as an universal value holder instead of private unions held separately by eattr and filter code.

2022-05-04Filter: Bitfield eattrs reading / writing moved to filter codeMaria Matejka
Before this change, fetch-update-write and bitmasking was hardcoded in attribute access code cased by the attribute type. Several filter instructions are used to do it instead. As this is certainly going to be a little bit slower than before, the switch block in attribute access code should be completely removed in near future, helping with both performance and code cleanliness. The user interface should have stayed intact.

2021-11-22Locking route attributes cacheMaria Matejka
To access route attribute cache from multiple threads at once, we have to lock the cache on writing. The route attributes data structures are safe to read unless somebody tries to tamper with the cache itself.
2021-11-22Route sources have an explicit ownerMaria Matejka
This commit prevents use-after-free of routes belonging to protocols which have been already destroyed, delaying also all the protocols' shutdown until all of their routes have been finally propagated through all the pipes down to the appropriate exports. The use-after-free was somehow hypothetic yet theoretically possible in rare conditions, when one BGP protocol authors a lot of routes and the user deletes that protocol by reconfiguring in the same time as next hop update is requested, causing rte_better() to be called on a not-yet-pruned network prefix while the owner protocol has been already freed. In parallel execution environments, this would happen an inter-thread use-after-free, causing possible heisenbugs or other nasty problems.
2021-11-22Special table hooks rectified.Maria Matejka
* internal tables are now more standalone, having their own import and export hooks * route refresh/reload uses stale counter instead of stale flag, allowing to drop walking the table at the beginning * route modify (by BGP LLGR) is now done by a special refeed hook, reimporting the modified routes directly without filters

Kernel route sync is done by other ways now and this code is not used currently.

2021-10-13Route: moved rte_src pointer from rta to rteMaria Matejka
It is an auxiliary key in the routing table, not a route attribute.

2019-03-14Nest: Update handling of temporary attributesOndrej Zajicek (work)
The temporary atttributes are no longer removed by ea_do_prune(), but they are undefined by store_tmp_attrs() protocol hooks. This fixes several bugs where temporary attributes were removed when they should not or not removed when they should be. The flag EAF_TEMP is no longer needed and was removed. Update all protocol make_tmp_attrs() / store_tmp_attrs() hooks to use helper functions and to handle unset attributes properly. Also fix some related bugs like improper handling of empty eattr list.
2019-02-20Filter refactoring: dropped the recursion from the interpreterMaria Matejka
This is a major change of how the filters are interpreted. If everything works how it should, it should not affect you unless you are hacking the filters themselves. Anyway, this change should make a huge improvement in the filter performance as previous benchmarks showed that our major problem lies in the recursion itself. There are also some changes in nest and protocols, related mostly to spreading const declarations throughout the whole BIRD and also to refactored dynamic attribute definitions. The need of these came up during the whole work and it is too difficult to split out these not-so-related changes.
