The learnt routes are now pushed all into the connected table, not only
the best one. This shouldn't do any damage in well managed setups, yet
it should be noted that it is a change of behavior.
If anybody misses a feature which they implemented by misusing this
internal learn table, let us know, we'll consider implementing it in a
better way.

There were quite a lot of conflicts in flowspec validation code which
ultimately led to some code being a bit rewritten, not only adapted from
this or that branch, yet it is still in a limit of a merge.

For now, all route attributes are stored as eattrs in ea_list. This
should make route manipulation easier and it also allows for a layered
approach of route attributes where updates from filters will be stored
as an overlay over the previous version.

validation result out.
As there is either a nexthop or another destination specification
(or othing in case of ROAs and Flowspec), it may be merged together.
This code is somehow quirky and should be replaced in future by better
implementation of nexthop.
Also flowspec validation result has its own attribute now as it doesn't
have anything to do with route nexthop.

This doesn't do anything more than to put the whole structure inside
adata. The overall performance is certainly going downhill; we'll
optimize this later.
Anyway, this is one of the latest items inside rta and in several
commits we may drop rta completely and move to eattrs-only routes.

The route scope attribute was used for simple user route marking. As
there is a better tool for this (custom attributes), the old and limited
way can be dropped.

Changes in internal API:
* Every route attribute must be defined as struct ea_class somewhere.
* Registration of route attributes known at startup must be done by
ea_register_init() from protocol build functions.
* Every attribute has now its symbol registered in a global symbol table
defined as SYM_ATTRIBUTE
* All attribute ID's are dynamically allocated.
* Attribute value custom formatting hook is defined in the ea_class.
* Attribute names are the same for display and filters, always prefixed
by protocol name.
Also added some unit testing code for filters with route attributes.

This commit removes the EAF_TYPE_* namespace completely and also for
route attributes, filter-based types T_* are used. This simplifies
fetching and setting route attributes from filters.
Also, there is now union bval which serves as an universal value holder
instead of private unions held separately by eattr and filter code.
|
|
Before this change, fetch-update-write and bitmasking was hardcoded in
attribute access code cased by the attribute type. Several filter
instructions are used to do it instead.
As this is certainly going to be a little bit slower than before, the
switch block in attribute access code should be completely removed in
near future, helping with both performance and code cleanliness.
The user interface should have stayed intact.

Add option 'netlink rx buffer' to specify netlink socket receive buffer
size. Uses SO_RCVBUFFORCE, so it can override rmem_max limit.
Thanks to Trisha Biswas and Michal for the original patches.

Unfortunately, SOL_NETLINK is both recently added and arch-dependent,
so we cannot just define it.

Add strict checking for netlink KRT dumps to avoid PMTU cache records
from FNHE table dump along with KRT.
Linux Kernel added FNHE table dump to the netlink API in patch:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/patch/8d3b68cd37fb5fddc470904cdd6793fcf480c6c1.1561131177.git.sbrivio@redhat.com/
Therefore, since Linux 5.3 these route cache entries are dumped together
with regular routes during periodic KRT scans, which in some cases may be
huge amount of useless data. This can be avoided by using strict checking
for netlink dumps:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20181008031644.15989-1-dsahern@kernel.org/
The patch mitigates the risk of receiving unknown and potentially large
number of FNHE records that would block BIRD I/O in each sync. There is a
known issue caused by the GRE tunnels on Linux that seems to be creating
one FNHE record for each destination IP address that is routed through
the tunnel, even when the PMTU equals to GRE interface MTU.
Thanks to Tomas Hlavacek for the original patch.

Kernel uses cloned routes to keep route cache entries, but reports them
together with regular routes. They were skipped implicitly as they
do not have rtm_protocol filled. Add explicit check for cloned flag
and skip such routes explicitly.
Also, improve debug logs of skipped routes.
|
|
Currently, BIRD ignores dead routes to consider them absent. But it also
ignores its own routes and thus it can not correctly manage such routes
in some cases. This patch makes an exception for routes with proto bird
when ignoring dead routes, so they can be properly updated or removed.
Thanks to Alexander Zubkov for the original patch.

Function nl_parse_multipath() should handle errors internally.
|
|
Routes are now allocated only when they are just to be inserted to the
table. Updating a route needs a locally allocated route structure.
Ownership of the attributes is also now not transfered from protocols to
tables and vice versa but just borrowed which should be easier to handle
in a multithreaded environment.

It is an auxiliary key in the routing table, not a route attribute.
|
|
Kernel route sync is done by other ways now and this code is not used
currently.
|
|
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.
