2022-06-04Nest: Improve GC strategy for rtablesOndrej Zajicek
Use timer (configurable as 'gc period') to schedule routing table GC/pruning to ensure that prune is done on time but not too often. Randomize GC timers to avoid concentration of GC events from different tables in one loop cycle. Fix a bug that caused minimum inter-GC interval be 5 us instead of 5 s. Make default 'gc period' adaptive based on number of routing tables, from 10 s for small setups to 600 s for large ones. In marge multi-table RS setup, the patch improved time of flushing a downed peer from 20-30 min to <2 min and removed 40s latencies.
2022-05-15BGP: Improve tx performance during feed/flushOndrej Zajicek
The prefix hash table in BGP used the same hash function as the rtable. When a batch of routes are exported during feed/flush to the BGP, they all have similar hash values, so they are all crowded in a few slots in the BGP prefix table (which is much smaller - around the size of the batch - and uses higher bits from hash values), making it much slower due to excessive collisions. Use a different hash function to avoid this. Also, increase the batch size to fill 4k BGP packets and increase minimum BGP bucket and prefix hash sizes to avoid back and forth resizing during flushes. This leads to order of magnitude faster flushes (on my test data).

2022-02-06Nest: Implement locking of prefix tries during walksOndrej Zajicek (work)
The prune loop may may rebuild the prefix trie and therefore invalidate walk state for asynchronous walks (used in 'show route in' cmd). Fix it by adding locking that keeps the old trie in memory until current walks are done. In future this could be improved by rebuilding trie walk states (by lookup for last found prefix) after the prefix trie rebuild.
2022-02-06Nest: Implement prefix trie pruningOndrej Zajicek (work)
When rtable is pruned and network fib nodes are removed, we also need to prune prefix trie. Unfortunately, rebuilding prefix trie takes long time (got about 400 ms for 1M networks), so must not be atomic, we have to rebuild a new trie while current one is still active. That may require some considerable amount of temporary memory, so we do that only if we expect significant trie size reduction.
2022-02-06BGP: Implement flowspec validation procedureOndrej Zajicek (work)
Implement flowspec validation procedure as described in RFC 8955 sec. 6 and RFC 9117. The Validation procedure enforces that only routers in the forwarding path for a network can originate flowspec rules for that network. The patch adds new mechanism for tracking inter-table dependencies, which is necessary as the flowspec validation depends on IP routes, and flowspec rules must be revalidated when best IP routes change. The validation procedure is disabled by default and requires that relevant IP table uses trie, as it uses interval queries for subnets.
2022-02-06Nest: Add routing table configuration blocksOndrej Zajicek (work)
Allow to specify sorted flag, trie fla, and min/max settle time. Also do not enable trie by default, it must be explicitly enabled.
2022-02-06Nest: Add convenience functions to check rtable net typeOndrej Zajicek (work)
2022-02-06Nest: Avoid unnecessary net_format() in 'show route' commandOndrej Zajicek (work)
When output of 'show route' command was generated, the net_format() was called for each network prematurely, even if the result was not needed. Fix the code to call net_format() only when needed. This makes queries that process many networks but show only few (e.g. 'show route where ..', or 'show route count') much faster (like 5x - 10x faster).
2022-02-06Nest: Add trie iteration code to 'show route'Ondrej Zajicek (work)
Add trie iteration code to rt_show_cont() CLI hook and use it to accelerate 'show route in <addr>' commands using interval queries.
2022-02-06Nest: Implement 'show route in <addr>' commandOndrej Zajicek (work)
Implement 'show route in <addr>' command, which shows all routes in networks that are subnets of given network. Currently limited to IP network types.
2022-02-06Nest: Attach prefix trie to rtable for faster LPM and interval queriesOndrej Zajicek (work)
Attach a prefix trie to IP/VPN/ROA tables. Use it for net_route() and net_roa_check(). This leads to 3-5x speedups for IPv4 and 5-10x speedup for IPv6 of these calls. TODO: - Rebuild the trie during rt_prune_table() - Better way to avoid trie_add_prefix() in net_get() for existing tables - Make it configurable (?)
2021-12-28Filter: Add operators to find minimum and maximum element of setsAlexander Zubkov
Add operators .min and .max to find minumum or maximum element in sets of types: clist, eclist, lclist. Example usage: bgp_community.min bgp_ext_community.max filter(bgp_large_community, [(as1, as2, *)]).min Signed-off-by: Alexander Zubkov <green@qrator.net>
2021-12-18Nest: Do not ignore secondary flag changes in ifa updatesOndrej Zajicek (work)
Compare all IA_* flags that are set by sysdep iface code. The old code ignores IA_SECONDARY flag when comparing whether iface address updates from kernel changed anything. This is usually not an issue as kernel removes all secondary addresses due to removal of the primary one, but it breaks when sysctl 'promote_secondaries' is enabled and kernel promotes secondary addresses to primary ones. Thanks to 'Alexander' for the bugreport.
2021-11-27Memory statistics split into Effective and OverheadMaria Matejka
This feature is intended mostly for checking that BIRD's allocation strategies don't consume much memory space. There are some cases where withdrawing routes in a specific order lead to memory fragmentation and this output should give the user at least a notion of how much memory is actually used for data storage and how much memory is "just allocated" or used for overhead. Also raising the "system allocator overhead estimation" from 8 to 16 bytes; it is probably even more. I've found 16 as a local minimum in best scenarios among reachable machines. I couldn't find any reasonable method to estimate this value when BIRD starts up. This commit also fixes the inaccurate computation of memory overhead for slabs where the "system allocater overhead estimation" was improperly added to the size of mmap-ed memory.

2021-06-17Nest: Clean up main channel handlingOndrej Zajicek (work)
Remove assumption that main channel is the only channel.
2021-06-14Nest: Fix export of tmpattrs through pipesOndrej Zajicek (work)
Pipes copy the original rte with old values, so they require rte to be exported with stored tmpattrs. Other protocols access stored attributes using eattr list, so they require rte to be exported with expanded tmpattrs. This is temporary hack, we plan to remove whoe tmpattr mechanism. Thanks to Paul Donohue for the bugreport.
2021-06-14Revert "Nest: Fix export of tmpattrs through pipes"Ondrej Zajicek (work)
This reverts commit f8e273b5e7a3c721f4a30cf27a0b4fe54602e83f.
2021-06-14Nest: Fix export of tmpattrs through pipesOndrej Zajicek (work)
In most cases of export there is no need to store back temporary attributes to rte, as receivers (protocols) access eattr list anyway. But pipe copies the original rte with old values, so we should store tmpattrs also during export. Thanks to Paul Donohue for the bugreport.
2021-06-09Nest: Allow both 'password' and 'key' keywords for authentication keysOndrej Zajicek (work)
2021-06-06Nest: Fix password list parsing codeOndrej Zajicek (work)
One of previous patches broke password list parsing code, fix that.
2021-06-06Nest: Allow MAC algorithms to specify min/max key lengthToke Høiland-Jørgensen
Add min/max key length fields to the MAC algorithm description and validate configured keys before they are used.
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.
2021-06-06Lib: Add Blake2s and Blake2b hash functionsToke Høiland-Jørgensen
The Babel MAC authentication RFC recommends implementing Blake2s as one of the supported algorithms. In order to achieve do this, add the blake2b and blake2s hash functions for MAC authentication. The hashing function implementations are the reference implementations from blake2.net. The Blake2 algorithms allow specifying an arbitrary output size, and the Babel MAC spec says to implement Blake2s with 128-bit output. To satisfy this, we add two different variants of each of the algorithms, one using the default size (256 bits for Blake2s, 512 bits for Blake2b), and one using half the default output size. Update to BIRD coding style done by committer.
2021-04-19Internal route tables have a reduced cleanup routineMaria Matejka
This fixes an internal table cleanup bug introduced in ff397df7edcbe7a8abca5b419729b9c64c063847.
2021-03-30Allocation of ea_list in one contiguous memory blockMaria Matejka
This saves some bytes of memory for complex ea's.
2021-03-30Routing table is now a resource allocated from its own poolMaria Matejka
This also fixes memory leaks from import/export tables being never cleaned up and freed.
2021-03-30Routing tables list iteration should use explicit node struct positionMaria Matejka
2021-03-17Minor fixes for restricted buildsOndrej Zajicek (work)
2021-03-16Pipe: Propagate debug flags from protocol to channelsOndrej Zajicek (work)
Pipe channels are kind-of implicit, so setting protocol debug flags should also set pipe debug flags.
2021-03-12Rate-limit scheduling of work-eventsOndrej Zajicek (work)
In general, events are code handling some some condition, which is scheduled when such condition happened and executed independently from I/O loop. Work-events are a subgroup of events that are scheduled repeatedly until some (often significant) work is done (e.g. feeding routes to protocol). All scheduled events are executed during each I/O loop iteration. Separate work-events from regular events to a separate queue and rate limit their execution to a fixed number per I/O loop iteration. That should prevent excess latency when many work-events are scheduled at one time (e.g. simultaneous reload of many BGP sessions).
2021-03-09Nest: No automatic ROA reload on non-reloadable channelsOndrej Zajicek (work)
2021-02-12Nest: Add option to control automatic RPKI reloadOndrej Zajicek (work)
Also, no automatic reload for BGP channels without import/export table.
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.
2021-02-10Nest: Automatic channel reloads based on RPKI changesOndrej Zajicek (work)
If there are roa_check() calls in channel filters, then the channel subscribes to ROA table notifications, which are sent when ROA tables are updated (subject to settle time) and trigger channel reload or refeed.
2021-02-07Filter: Recursive filter iteration codeOndrej Zajicek (work)
Add macros for recursive filter iteration that allows to examine all instructions reachable from a filter.
2021-01-06Nest: remove last_tx_filter_changeOndrej Zajicek (work)
No longer needed after redesign of export handling.
2020-12-29Nest: Read Babel metric as IGP metricJames Lu
(Minor syntactic 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.
2020-11-24Minor cleanups with cfg_allocz()Ondrej Zajicek (work)
Also fixes some more failed asserts due to add_tail().
2020-11-24Fix some failed asserts due to add_tail()Ondrej Zajicek (work)
When config structures are copied due to template application, we need to reset list node structure before calling add_tail(). Thanks to Mikael Magnusson for patches.
2020-11-24Some minor sl_allocz() cleanupsOndrej Zajicek (work)
2020-11-15Nest: Fix crash in receive limit handling in import tableOndrej Zajicek (work)
Logging as a result of triggered receive limit in import table code accesset rte->net, which was not filed yet. Thanks to Pier Carlo Chiodi for the bugreport.
2020-11-12BFD: Better handling of BFD options in BGP configsOndrej Zajicek (work)
Merge multiple BFD option blocks in BGP configs instead of using the last one. That is necessary for proper handling of templates when BFD options are used both in a BGP template and in a BGP protocol derived from that template.
2020-11-08BFD: Allow per-request session optionsOndrej Zajicek (work)
BFD session options are configured per interface in BFD protocol. This patch allows to specify them also per-request in protocols requesting sessions (currently limited to BGP).
2020-07-16Nest: Keep route ordering during route updatesOndrej Zajicek (work)
Put new non-best routes to the end of list instead of the second position. Put updated routes to their old position. Position is changed just by best route selection.
2020-06-28Show info from multiple protocols when protocol is not specifiedOndrej Zajicek (work)
Most commands like 'show ospf neighbors' fail when protocol is not specified and there are multiple instances of given protocol type. This is annoying in BIRD 2, as many protocols have IPv4 and IPv6 instances. The patch changes that by showing output from all protocol instances of appropriate type. Note that the patch also removes terminating cli_msg() call from these commands and moves it to the common iterating code.
2020-05-19Nest: Allow key id 0Ondrej Zajicek (work)
There is nothing in RFCs specifying that id 0 is not allowed. Some implementations does not support it, while some other use key id 0 by default. We allow it but start with key id 1 by default. Thanks to Kenth Eriksson for the bugreport.
2020-05-18Nest: Implement BGP path mask loop operatorOndrej Zajicek (work)
Implement regex-like '+' operator in BGP path masks to match previous path mask item multiple times. This is useful as ASNs may appear multiple times in paths due to path prepending for traffic engineering purposes.
