2017-12-07Nest: Maintain separate IPv4, IPv6 and LLv6 preferred addressesOndrej Zajicek (work)
Also redesign preferred address selection and update protocols to use appropriate preferred address. Based on a previous work by Jan Maria Matejka.
2017-07-04Implement onlink flag for nexthopsOndrej Zajicek (work)
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.

2017-03-29Netlink: Change default kernel metric to 32Ondrej Zajicek (work)
This avoids collisions with non-BIRD routes in kernel tables.

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.
2016-12-22Removing (struct rta)->cast. Never used.Jan Moskyto Matejka
2016-12-22Merged multipath and single-path data structures.Jan Moskyto Matejka
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.

2016-11-01Build: switch on -Wextra, get rid of most of the warningsJan Moskyto Matejka
There are several unresolved -Wmissing-field-initializers on older versions of GCC than 5.1, all of them false positive.
2016-09-29Kernel socket missing err_hook fixJan Moskyto Matejka
Thanks to Tim Weippert for bugreport.
2016-09-19KRT: Add krt_scope attributeOndrej Zajicek (work)
Add a new route attribute, krt_scope, to expose the Linux kernel route scope. Constants from /etc/iproute2/rt_scopes (prefixed by "ips_") are expected to be used with the attribute. Both import and export are supported. Also, the patch fixes device route export to the kernel, by setting link scope automatically.
2016-09-15KRT: Add kernel metric protocol optionOndrej Zajicek (work)
Kernel routes with different metrics do not clash with each other, therefore using dedicated metric value is a reliable way to avoid overwriting routes from other sources (e.g. kernel device routes). Although kernel route metric could already be set as a route attribute by filters, that is not consistent with the way how Linux kernel handles route metric - not just a route attribute, but a part of a route key.
2016-09-14KRT: Support for IPv6 ECMPOndrej Zajicek (work)
Linux represents IPv6 ECMP routes as a sequence of unipath routes with the same prefix. We have to translate between our representation (one route with multipath next hop) and the Linux representation in both directions. Proper learning of alien IPv6 ECMP routes still not supported. Thanks to Mikhail Sennikovskii for the original patch.
2016-07-20Netlink: Fix build with older headers missing IFA_FLAGSOndrej Zajicek (work)
2016-07-20Netlink: Ignore tentative addressesOndrej Zajicek (work)
Ignore tentative IPv6 addresses and wait until finish of Duplicate Address Detection (We got notification when an address is no longer tentative) to avoid problems when protocols try to use interfaces with tentative link-local addresses. Based on patch from Jan Moskyto Matejka

2016-05-10netlink: update struct msghdrStijn Tintel
The netlink code assumes an order for the members of struct msghdr. This breaks recvmsg and sendmsg with musl libc on mips64. Fix this by using designated initializers instead. Signed-off-by: Stijn Tintel <stijn@linux-ipv6.be>

2016-05-10Portability: Fixed C extension error generated by CLang.Jan Moskyto Matejka
sysdep/linux/netlink.c:921:10: error: fields must have a constant size: 'variable length array in structure' extension will never be supported char buf[128 + KRT_METRICS_MAX*8 + nh_bufsize(a->nexthops)]; ^ 1 error generated.
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.

2016-04-06KRT: Fix route learn scan when route changedOndrej Zajicek (work)
When a kernel route changed, function krt_learn_scan() noticed that and replaced the route in internal kernel FIB, but after that, function krt_learn_prune() failed to propagate the new route to the nest, because it confused the new route with the (removed) old best route and decided that the best route did not changed. Wow, the original code (and the bug) is almost 17 years old.
2016-02-01Channels - explicit links between protocols and tablesOndrej Zajicek (work)
The patch adds support for channels, structures connecting protocols and tables and handling most interactions between them. The documentation is missing yet.

2015-11-24Netlink: attribute validation before parsingJan Moskyto Matejka
Wanted netlink attributes are defined in a table, specifying their size and neediness. Removing the long conditions that did the validation before. Also parsing IPv4 and IPv6 versions regardless on the IPV6 macro.
2015-11-23Nest: Fix bug in device protoOndrej Zajicek (work)
If an interface address notification is received during device protocol shutdown/restart, BIRD crashed. Thanks to Wei Huang for the bugreport.

2015-11-11Netlink: Allow more than 256 routing tables.Jan Moskyto Matejka
Since 2.6.19, the netlink API defines RTA_TABLE routing attribute to allow 32-bit routing table IDs. Using this attribute to index routing tables at Linux, instead of 8-bit rtm_table field.
2015-11-05Initial commit on integrated BIRDOndrej Zajicek (work)
New data types net_addr and variants (in lib/net.h) describing network addresses (prefix/pxlen). Modifications of FIB structures to handle these data types and changing everything to use these data types instead of prefix/pxlen pairs where possible. The commit is WiP, some protocols are not yet updated (BGP, Kernel), and the code contains some temporary scaffolding. Comments are welcome.
