2022-05-04Splitting route data structures out to libMaria Matejka
2022-05-04Unified attribute and filter typesMaria Matejka
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.
2022-05-04Filter: Bitfield eattrs reading / writing moved to filter codeMaria Matejka
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.

2022-01-17Netlink: Add option to specify netlink socket receive buffer sizeOndrej Zajicek (work)
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.
2022-01-15Netlink: Add another workaround for older kernel headersOndrej Zajicek (work)
Unfortunately, SOL_NETLINK is both recently added and arch-dependent, so we cannot just define it.

2022-01-14Netlink: Enable strict checking for KRT dumpsOndrej Zajicek (work)
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.
2022-01-14Netlink: Explicitly skip received cloned routesOndrej Zajicek (work)
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.
2022-01-08IO: Support nonlocal bind in socket interfaceAlexander Zubkov
Add option to socket interface for nonlocal binding, i.e. binding to an IP address that is not present on interfaces. This behaviour is enabled when SKF_FREEBIND socket flag is set. For Linux systems, it is implemented by IP_FREEBIND socket flag. Minor changes done by commiter.
2022-01-05Netlink: Do not ignore dead routes from BIRDOndrej Zajicek (work)
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.
2022-01-05Netlink: Improve multipath parsing errorsOndrej Zajicek (work)
Function nl_parse_multipath() should handle errors internally.
2021-11-09Split route data structure to storage (ro) / manipulation (rw) structures.Maria Matejka
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.

2021-10-13Route: moved rte_src pointer from rta to rteMaria Matejka
It is an auxiliary key in the routing table, not a route attribute.
2021-10-13Dropping the RTS_DUMMY temporary route storage.Maria Matejka
Kernel route sync is done by other ways now and this code is not used currently.
2021-01-14Netlink: Ignore dead routesOndrej Zajicek (work)
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.
2021-01-06Kernel: Fix handling of krt_realm with ECMP routesOndrej Zajicek (work)
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.
2020-06-03Netlink: Fix parsing of MPLS multipath routesKazuki Yamaguchi
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)

2020-02-27BGP: Support for MD5SIG together with remote rangeOndrej Zajicek (work)
When dynamic BGP with remote range is configured, MD5SIG needs to use newer socket option (TCP_MD5SIG_EXT) to specify remote addres range for listening socket. Thanks to Adam Kułagowski for the suggestion.
2019-12-19KRT: Remove KRF_SYNC_ERROR flagOndrej Zajicek (work)
This info is now stored in an internal bmap. Unfortunately, net.flags is still needed for temporary kernel data.
2019-11-12Netlink: Handle IPv4 routes with IPv6 nexthopsOndrej Zajicek
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.

2019-07-15Netlink: Use route replace for IPv4Ondrej Zajicek (work)
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.

2019-07-02Netlink: Handle alien routes with unsorted nexthopsOndrej Zajicek (work)
Nest requires that nexthops are sorted, the kernel protocol have to ensure that for alien routes.
2019-07-02Netlink: Do unified scan for both IPv4 and IPv6Ondrej Zajicek (work)
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.
2019-02-20Filter refactoring: dropped the recursion from the interpreterMaria Matejka
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.

2018-06-26Config: Dropping CF_ADDTO.Jan Maria Matejka
2018-05-30Nest: Removing separate tmpa from route propagationJan Maria Matejka
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().
2018-05-29Protocol: Introducing an enum protocol_classJan Maria Matejka
This supersedes the EAP_* constants.
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.
