With net.ipv4.conf.XXX.ignore_routes_with_linkdown sysctl, a user can
ensure the kernel does not use a route whose target interface is down.
Such route is marked with a 'dead' / RTNH_F_DEAD flag.
Ignore these routes or multipath nexthops during scan.
Thanks to Vincent Bernat for the original patch.

For ECMP routes, RTA_FLOW attribute must be set per-nexthop, not
per-route. Our corresponding krt_realm attribute is per-route.
Thanks to Mikhail Petrov for the bugreport.

Add support for RTA_MULTIPATH attribute parsing for AF_MPLS routes.
BIRD is capable of installing a multipath route into kernel on Linux,
but it would not be seen because parsing fails. This made BIRD attempt
to install the same route repeatedly.
(The patch minorly updated by committer)

This info is now stored in an internal bmap. Unfortunately, net.flags
is still needed for temporary kernel data.
|
|
Accept RTA_VIA attribute in all cases. The old code always used
RTA_GATEWAY for IPv4 / IPv6 and RTA_VIA for MPLS. The new code uses
RTA_VIA in cases where AF of network and AF of nexthop differs.

Use route replace netlink op instead of delete+add netlink ops for kernel
IPv4 route replace. This avoids some packetloss during route replace.
Still use the old behavior for IPv6, as some kernel bugs are hidden in
IPv6 ECMP handling.
|
|
|
|
Nest requires that nexthops are sorted, the kernel protocol have to
ensure that for alien routes.
|
|
Instead of separate scans for IPv4, IPv6 and MPLS, do one AF_UNSPEC scan.
This also avoids kernel issue when kernel reported IPv4 and IPv6 routes
during MPLS scan if MPLS is not active.

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.

Simplify neighbor cache code, fix several minor bugs, and improve
handling of ONLINK flag.

This is a fundamental change of an original (1999) concept of route
processing inside BIRD. During import/export, there was a temporary
ea_list created which was to be used instead of the another one inside
the route itself.
This led to some confusion, quirks, and strange filter code that handled
extended route attributes. Dropping it now.
The protocol interface has changed in an uniform way -- the
`struct ea_list *attrs` argument has been removed from store_tmp_attrs(),
import_control(), rt_notify() and get_route_info().

This supersedes the EAP_* constants.

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.

ECMP is not enabled on BSD, where it is not supported by BIRD.

Also redesign preferred address selection and update protocols to use
appropriate preferred address.
Based on a previous work by Jan Maria Matejka.

Add basic VRF (virtual routing and forwarding) support. Protocols can be
associated with VRFs, such protocols will be restricted to interfaces
assigned to the VRF (as reported by Linux kernel) and will use sockets
bound to the VRF. E.g., different multihop BGP instances can use diffent
kernel routing tables to handle BGP TCP connections.
The VRF support is preliminary, currently there are several limitations:
- Recent Linux kernels (4.11) do not handle correctly sockets bound
to interaces that are part of VRF, so most protocols other than multihop
BGP do not work. This will be fixed by future kernel versions.
- Neighbor cache ignores VRFs. Breaks config with the same prefix on
local interfaces in different VRFs. Not much problem as single hop
protocols do not work anyways.
- Olock code ignores VRFs. Breaks config with multiple BGP peers with the
same IP address in different VRFs.
- Incoming BGP connections are not dispatched according to VRFs.
Breaks config with multiple BGP peers with the same IP address in
different VRFs. Perhaps we would need some kernel API to read VRF of
incoming connection? Or probably use multiple listening sockets in
int-new branch.
- We should handle master VRF interface up/down events and perhaps
disable associated protocols when VRF goes down. Or at least disable
associated interfaces.
- Also we should check if the master iface is really VRF iface and
not some other kind of master iface.
- BFD session request dispatch should be aware of VRFs.
- Perhaps kernel protocol should read default kernel table ID from VRF
iface so it is not necessary to configure it.
- Perhaps we should have per-VRF default table.

Starting from Linux 4.11, IPv6 ECMP routes are now notified using
RTA_MULTIPATH, like IPv4 ones. The patch adds support for RTA_MULTIPATH
parsing for IPv6 routes. This also enables to parse ECMP alien routes
correctly.
Thanks to Vincent Bernat for the original patch.

Add proper support for per-nexthop onlink flag in routes to handle next
hop addresses that are not covered by interface IP ranges. Supported by
kernel and static protocols.
Thanks to Vincent Bernat for the idea.

This avoids collisions with non-BIRD routes in kernel tables.

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.

Dropped struct mpnh and mpnh_*()
Now struct nexthop exists, nexthop_*(), and also included struct nexthop
into struct rta.
Also converted RTD_DEVICE and RTD_ROUTER to RTD_UNICAST. If it is needed
to distinguish between these two cases, RTD_DEVICE is equivalent to
IPA_ZERO(a->nh.gw), RTD_ROUTER is then IPA_NONZERO(a->nh.gw).
From now on, we also explicitely want C99 compatible compiler. We assume
that this 20-year norm should be known almost everywhere.
