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.

This option allows to treat bgp_med as regular transitive attribute
on EBGP sessions (without hacks in filters).

When several BGPs requested a BFD session in short time, chances were
that the second BGP would file a request while the pickup routine was
still running and it would get enqueued into the waiting list instead of
being picked up.
Fixed this by enforcing pickup loop restart when new requests got added,
and also by atomically moving the unpicked requests to a temporary list
to announce admin down before actually being added into the wait list.

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.
|
|
If there are lots of loops in a single thread and only some of the loops
are actually active, the other loops are now kept aside and not checked
until they actually get some timers, events or active sockets.
This should help with extreme loads like 100k tables and protocols.
Also ping and loop pickup mechanism was allowing subtle race
conditions. Now properly handling collisions between loop ping and pickup.

Repeated pipe refeed should not end route refresh as the prune routine
may start pruning otherwise valid routes.
The same applies for BGP repeated route refresh.
|
|
|
|
The import table feed wasn't resetting the table-specific route values
like REF_FILTERED and thus made the route look like filtered even though
it should have been re-evaluated as accepted.

This brought unnecessary complexity into the decision procedures while the
performance aspects weren't worth it. It just saved one ea_list traversal
when many others are also done.

Missing translation from BGP attribute ID to eattr ID in bgp_unset_attr()
broke automatic removal of bgp_med during export to EBGP peers.
Thanks to Edward Sun for the bugreport.

Even though the free bind option is primarily meant to alleviate problems
with addresses assigned too late, it's also possible to use BIRD with AnyIP
configuration, assigning whole ranges to the machine. Therefore free bind
allows also to create an outbound connection from specific address even though
such address is not assigned.

The babel protocol normally sends all its messages as multicast packets,
but the protocol specification allows most messages to be sent as either
unicast or multicast, and the two can be mixed freely. In particular, the
babeld implementation can be configured to unicast updates to all peers
instead of sending them as unicast.
Daniel discovered that this can cause problems with the packet counter
checks in the MAC extension due to packet reordering. This happens on WiFi
networks where clients have power save enabled (which is quite common in
infrastructure networks): in this case, the access point will buffer all
multicast traffic and only send it out along with its beacons, leading to a
maximum buffering in default Linux-based access point configuration of up
to 200 ms.
This means that a Babel sender that mixes unicast and multicast messages
can have the unicast messages overtake the multicast messages because of
this buffering; when authentication is enabled, this causes the receiver to
discard the multicast message when it does arrive because it now has a
packet counter value less than the unicast message that arrived before it.
Daniel observed that this happens frequently enough that Babel ceases to
work entirely when runner over a WiFi network.
The issue has been described in draft-ietf-babel-mac-relaxed, which is
currently pending RFC publication. That also describes two mitigation
mechanisms: Keeping separate PC counters for unicast and multicast, and
using a reorder window for PC values. This patch implements the former as
that is the simplest, and resolves the particular issue seen on WiFi.
Thanks to Daniel Gröber for the bugreport.

The patch implements an IPv4 via IPv6 extension (RFC 9229) to the Babel
routing protocol (RFC 8966) that allows annoncing routes to an IPv4
prefix with an IPv6 next hop, which makes it possible for IPv4 traffic
to flow through interfaces that have not been assigned an IPv4 address.
The implementation is compatible with the current Babeld version.
Thanks to Toke Høiland-Jørgensen for early review on this work.

Instead of propagating interface updates as they are loaded from kernel,
they are enqueued and all the notifications are called from a
protocol-specific event. This change allows to break the locking loop
between protocols and interfaces.
Anyway, this change is based on v2 branch to keep the changes between v2
and v3 smaller.

When creating a new babel_source object we initialise the seqno to 0. The
caller will update the source object with the right metric and seqno value,
for both newly created and old source objects. However if we initialise the
source object seqno to 0 that may actually turn out to be a valid (higher)
seqno than the one in the routing table, because of seqno wrapping. In this
case the source metric will not be set properly, which breaks feasibility
tracking for subsequent updates.
To fix this, add a new initial_seqno argument to babel_get_source() which
is used when allocating a new object, and set that to the seqno value of
the update we're sending.
Thanks to Juliusz Chroboczek for the bugreport.

Add a comment and (unnecessary) check to make correctness obvious.
|
|
Juliusz noticed there were a couple of places we were doing straight
inequality comparisons of seqnos in Babel. This is wrong because seqnos can
wrap: so we need to use the modulo-64k comparison function for these cases
as well.
Introduce a strict-inequality version of the modulo-comparison for this
purpose.

Instead of calling custom hooks from object locks, we use standard event
sending mechanism to inform protocols about object lock changes. This is
a backport from version 3 where these events are passed across threads.
This implementation of object locks doesn't use mutexes to lock the
whole data structure. In version 3, this data structure may get accessed
from multiple threads and must be protected by mutex.
|

|
Instead of calling custom hooks from object locks, we use standard event
sending mechanism to inform protocols about object lock changes. As
event sending is lockless, the unlocking protocol simply enqueues the
appropriate event to the given loop when the locking is done.
