2022-12-16Netlink: move OS-specific headers and defines to sysdepAlexander Chernikov
Minor changes from committer.
2022-12-09Netlink on FreeBSD supportAlexander V. Chernikov
Netlink support was added to FreeBSD recently. It is not as full-featured as its Linux counterpart yet, however the added subset is enough to make a routing daemon work. Specifically, it supports multiple tables, multipath, nexthops and nexthops groups. No MPLS support yet. The attached change adds 'bsd-netlink’ sysconf target, allowing to build both netlink & rtsock versions on FreeBSD.
2022-11-02Memory pages are not munmapped, instead we just madvise()Maria Matejka
Memory unmapping causes slow address space fragmentation, leading in extreme cases to failing to allocate pages at all. Removing this problem by keeping all the pages allocated to us, yet calling madvise() to let kernel dispose of them. This adds a little complexity and overhead as we have to keep the pointers to the free pages, therefore to hold e.g. 1 GB of 4K pages with 8B pointers, we have to store 2 MB of data.
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.
2018-02-13Add support for source-specific IPv6 routes to BIRD coreOndrej Zajicek (work)
This patch adds support for source-specific IPv6 routes to BIRD core. This is based on Dean Luga's original patch, with the review comments addressed. SADR support is added to network address parsing in confbase.Y and to the kernel protocol on Linux. Currently there is no way to mix source-specific and non-source-specific routes (i.e., SADR tables cannot be connected to non-SADR tables). Thanks to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for the original patch. Minor changes by Ondrej Santiago Zajicek.
2016-12-22Netlink: MPLS routes in kernelJan Moskyto Matejka
Anyway, Bird is now capable to insert both MPLS routes and MPLS encap routes into kernel. It was (among others) needed to define platform-specific AF_MPLS to 28 as this constant has been assigned in the linux kernel. No support for BSD now, it may be added in the future.
2016-05-10Build system reworked to one global Makefile with includes and no nestingJan Moskyto Matejka
Also removed the lib-dir merging with sysdep. Updated #include's accordingly. Fixed make doc on recent Debian together with moving generated doc into objdir. Moved Makefile.in into root dir Retired all.o and birdlib.a Linking the final binaries directly from all the .o files.
2012-05-04Cleanup in sysdep KRT code, part 4.Ondrej Zajicek
Adding some files that was accidentally removed (instead of moved) in cleanup part 2.
