Thanks to Vincent Bernat for reporting this.

Nest requires that nexthops are sorted, the kernel protocol have to
ensure that for alien routes.
|
|
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.
|
|
"linearize" instead.
This is just a naming change.

Support for dynamically spawning BGP protocols for incoming connections.
Use 'neighbor range' to specify range of valid neighbor addresses, then
incoming connections from these addresses spawn new BGP instances.

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.
|

Keep track of whether OSPF tmpattrs are actually defined for given route
(using flags in rte->pflags). That makes them behave more like real
eattrs so a protocol can define just a subset of them or they can be
undefined by filters.
Do not set ospf_metric2 for other than type 2 external OSPF routes and do
not set ospf_tag for non-external OSPF routes. That also fixes a bug
where internal/inter-area route propagated from one OSPF instance to
another is initiated with infinity ospf_metric2.
Thanks to Yaroslav Dronskii for the bugreport.

Route flags are mosty internal state of rtable, they are not significant
to whether a route has changed. With the old code, all routes received as
a part of enhanced route refresh are always re-announced to other peers
due to change in REF_STALE.

This should be revised, there are still ugly things in the filter API.

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.

This also drops the multiplexing of errors with the f_val itself
together with the T_RETURN f_val type flag.

accepted mode)
Update for one of previous patches, handles the the issue for
first-accepted mode of route propagation.
|

One of previous workarounds for phantom route avoidance breaks export
counters by expanding sending of spurious withdraws, which are send when
we are not sure whether we have advertised that routes in the past.
If not, then export counter is decreased, but it was not increased
before, so it overflows under zero.
The patch fixes that by sendung spurious withdraws, but not counting them
on export counter. That may lead to error in the other direction, but that
happens only as a race condition (i.e., in normal operation filters
return proper values about old route export state).

Thanks to Michal Nowak for reporting the issue.

Using dummy net instead. This should help with performance on rejected
routes.
|
|
The earlier fix loosen conditions for not running filters on old
route when deciding about route propagation to a protocol to avoid
issues with ghost routes in some race conditions.
Unfortunately, the fix also caused back-propagation of withdraws. For
regular updates, back-propagation is prevented in import_control hooks,
but these are not called on withdraws. For them, import_control hooks
are called on old routes instead, changing (old, NULL) notification
to (NULL, NULL), which is ignored. By not calling export processing
in some cases, the withdraw is not ignored and is back-propagated.
This patch fixes that by contract conditions so the earlier fix is not
applied to back-propagated updates.

This protocol is highly experimental and nobody should use it in
production. Anyway it may help you getting some insight into what eats
so much time in filter processing.

The patch d506263d... blocked adding channel during reconfiguration,
that broke protocols which use the same functiona also during init.
This patch fixes that.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The patch implements optional internal import table to a channel and
hooks it to BGP so it can be used as Adj-RIB-In. When enabled, all
received (pre-filtered) routes are stored there and import filters can
be re-evaluated without explicit route refresh. An import table can be
examined using e.g. 'show route import table bgp1.ipv4'.
|
|
When a new channel is found during reconfiguration, do force restart
of the protocol, like with any other un-reconfigurable change.
The old behavior was that the new channel was added but remained in down
state, even if the protocol was up, so a manual protocol restart was
often necessary.
In the future this should be improved such that a reconfigurable
channel addition (e.g. direct) is accepted and channel is started,
while an un-reconfigurable addition forces protocol restart.
|

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.
|
|
This is still OK for everybody to fit into RAM and also probably enough
to keep a little collision rate for full BGP table.

Once upon a time, far far away, there were the old Bird developers
discussing what direction of route flow shall be called import and
export. They decided to say "import to protocol" and "export to table"
when speaking about a protocol. When speaking about a table, they
spoke about "importing to table" and "exporting to protocol".
The latter terminology was adopted in configuration, then also the
bird CLI in commit ea2ae6dd0 started to use it (in year 2009). Now
it's 2018 and the terminology is the latter. Import is from protocol to
table, export is from table to protocol. Anyway, there was still an
import_control hook which executed right before route export.
One thing is funny. There are two commits in April 1999 with just two
minutes between them. The older announces the final settlement
on config terminology, the newer uses the other definition. Let's see
their commit messages as the git-log tool shows them (the newer first):

Added some new protocol hooks (look at the comments for better explanation):
make_tmp_attrs Convert inline attributes to ea_list
store_tmp_attrs Convert ea_list to inline attributes
import_control Pre-import decisions
commit 5056c559c4eb253a4eee10cf35b694faec5265eb
Author: Martin Mares <mj@ucw.cz>

Changed syntax of attaching filters to protocols to hopefully the final
version:
EXPORT <filter-spec> for outbound routes (i.e., those announced
by BIRD to the rest of the world).
IMPORT <filter-spec> for inbound routes (i.e., those imported
by BIRD from the rest of the world).
where <filter-spec> is one of:
ALL pass all routes
NONE drop all routes
FILTER <name> use named filter
FILTER { <filter> } use explicitly defined filter
For all protocols, the default is IMPORT ALL, EXPORT NONE. This includes
the kernel protocol, so that you need to add EXPORT ALL to get the previous
configuration of kernel syncer (as usually, see doc/bird.conf.example for
a bird.conf example :)).
Let's say RIP to this almost 19-years-old inconsistency. For now, if you
import a route, it is always from protocol to table. If you export a
route, it is always from table to protocol.
And they lived happily ever after.

Modify protocols to use preferred address change notification instead on
depending on hard-reset of interfaces in that case, and remove hard-reset
in that case. This avoids issue when e.g. IPv6 protocol restarts
interface when IPv4 preferred address changed (as hard-reset is
unavoidable and common for whole iface).
The patch also fixes a bug when removing last address does not send
preferred address change notification.

The new MRT protocol is responsible for periodic RIB table dumps in the
MRT format (RFC 6396). Also the existing code for BGP4MP MRT dumps is
refactored and splitted between BGP to MRT protocols, will be more
integrated into MRT in the future.
Example:
protocol mrt {
table "*";
filename "%N_%F_%T.mrt";
period 60;
}
It is partially based on the old MRT code from Pavel Tvrdik.
