2023-01-17Alloc: Disable transparent huge pagesOndrej Zajicek
The usage pattern implemented in allocator seems to be incompatible with transparent huge pages, as memory released using madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) with regular page size and alignment does not seem to trigger demotion of huge pages back to regular pages, even when significant number of pages is released. Even if demotion is triggered when system memory is low, it still breaks memory accounting.
2022-07-24KRT: Scan routing tables separetely on linux to avoid congestionOndrej Zajicek
Remove compile-time sysdep option CONFIG_ALL_TABLES_AT_ONCE, replace it with runtime ability to run either separate table scans or shared scan. On Linux, use separate table scans by default when the netlink socket option NETLINK_GET_STRICT_CHK is available, but retreat to shared scan when it fails. Running separate table scans has advantages where some routing tables are managed independently, e.g. when multiple routing daemons are running on the same machine, as kernel routing table modification performance is significantly reduced when the table is modified while it is being scanned. Thanks Daniel Gröber for the original patch and Toke Høiland-Jørgensen for suggestions.
2018-07-28BSD: Use MSG_DONTROUTE for unicast packets on FreeBSDOndrej Zajicek (work)
BSD systems cannot use SO_DONTROUTE, because it does not work properly with multicast packets (perhaps it tries to find iface based on multicast group address). But we can use MSG_DONTROUTE sendmsg() flag for unicast packets. Works on FreeBSD, is ignored on OpenBSD and is broken on NetBSD (i guess due to integrated routing table and ARP table).
2015-04-25KRT: Fixes learning of preferred kernel routes.Ondrej Zajicek
When a new route was imported from kernel and chosen as preferred, then the old best route was propagated as a withdraw to the kernel protocol. Under some circumstances such withdraw propagated to the BSD kernel could remove the new alien route and thus reverting the import.
2014-02-06Many changes in I/O and OSPF sockets and packet handling.Ondrej Zajicek
I/O: - BSD: specify src addr on IP sockets by IP_HDRINCL - BSD: specify src addr on UDP sockets by IP_SENDSRCADDR - Linux: specify src addr on IP/UDP sockets by IP_PKTINFO - IPv6: specify src addr on IP/UDP sockets by IPV6_PKTINFO - Alternative SKF_BIND flag for binding to IP address - Allows IP/UDP sockets without tx_hook, on these sockets a packet is discarded when TX queue is full - Use consistently SOL_ for socket layer values. OSPF: - Packet src addr is always explicitly set - Support for secondary addresses in BSD - Dynamic RX/TX buffers - Fixes some minor buffer overruns - Interface option 'tx length' - Names for vlink pseudoifaces (vlinkX) - Vlinks use separate socket for TX - Vlinks do not use fixed associated iface - Fixes TTL for direct unicast packets - Fixes DONTROUTE for OSPF sockets - Use ifa->ifname instead of ifa->iface->name
2012-04-30Cleanup in sysdep KRT code, part 2.Ondrej Zajicek
Remove support for historic Linux kernels, merge krt-iface, krt-set and krt-scan stub headers.
2011-05-10Allows run with restricted privileges.Ondrej Zajicek
Adds option -u and -g to specify user and group. When different user (than root) is specified, linux capabilities CAP_NET_* are kept.
2010-03-26Disable multiple OSPF pseudointerfaces on BSD.Ondrej Zajicek
2004-06-04typo in READMEOndrej Filip
2004-06-03CONFIG_SKIP_MC_BIND added.Ondrej Filip
BSD hates it, Linux needs it.
2004-06-01#ifdef CONFIG_UNIX_DONTROUTE added.Ondrej Filip
1999-12-16Tried to clean up multicast handling. Now we don't try to guessMartin Mares
multicast abilities depending on definedness of symbols and use hard-wired system-dependent configuration defines instead. Please test whereever you can.
1999-08-03Kernel route syncer supports multiple tables.Martin Mares
The changes are just too extensive for lazy me to list them there, but see the comment at the top of sysdep/unix/krt.c. The code got a bit more ifdeffy than I'd like, though. Also fixed a bunch of FIXME's and added a couple of others. :)
1999-04-12Removed TOS support. This simplifies many things a lot.Martin Mares
1999-04-03Defined CONFIG_SELF_CONSCIOUS whenever the kernel scanner is ableMartin Mares
to distinguish between our own routes and alien ones.
1999-03-27Cleaned up system configuration files -- removed few obsolete parameters,Martin Mares
documented the remaining ones (sysdep/cf/README). Available configurations: o linux-20: Old Linux interface via /proc/net/route (selected by default on pre-2.1 kernels). o linux-21: Old Linux interface, but device routes handled by the kernel (selected by default for 2.1 and newer kernels). o linux-22: Linux with Netlink (I play with it a lot yet, so it isn't a default). o linux-ipv6: Prototype config for IPv6 on Linux. Not functional yet.
