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.
2022-07-11Dropped the internal kernel protocol table for learnt routes.Maria Matejka
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.

2022-05-04Explicit definition structures of route attributesMaria Matejka
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.

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.

This also fixes memory leaks from import/export tables being never cleaned up and freed.

2020-01-07KRT: Improve syncer code to avoid using temporary data in rtableOndrej Zajicek (work)
The old code stored route verdicts and temporary routes directly in rtable. The new code do not store received routes (it immediately compares them with exported routes and resolves conflicts) and uses internal bitmap to keep track of which routes were received and which needs to be reinstalled. By not putting 'invalid' temporary routes to rtable, we keep rtable in consistent state, therefore scan no longer needs to be atomic operation and could be splitted to multiple events.
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.
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().

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.
2016-02-01Channels - 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.

2015-11-11Netlink: 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.

Kernel option 'merge paths' allows to merge routes exported to kernel protocol (currently BGP and static routes) to multipath routes.

2011-11-07Implements protocol templates.Ondrej Zajicek
Based on the patch from Alexander V. Chernikov. Extended to support almost all protocols. Uses 'protocol bgp NAME from TEMPLATE { ... }' syntax.

2011-04-13Adds support for several Linux kernel route attributes.Ondrej Zajicek
2010-04-04Restrict export of device routes to the kernel protocol.Ondrej Zajicek
In usual configuration, such export is already restricted with the aid of the direct protocol but there are some races that can circumvent it. This makes it harder to break kernel device routes. Also adds an option to disable this restriction.
2010-02-26Many changes in (mainly) kernel syncers.Ondrej Zajicek
- BSD kernel syncer is now self-conscious and can learn alien routes - important bugfix in BSD kernel syncer (crash after protocol restart) - many minor changes and bugfixes in kernel syncers and neighbor cache - direct protocol does not generate host and link local routes - min_scope check is removed, all routes have SCOPE_UNIVERSE by default - also fixes some remaining compiler warnings
2009-05-29Add 'primary' configuration option.Ondrej Zajicek
2000-03-12Cleaned up debugging in kernel syncer. Netlink has still LOCAL_DEBUGMartin Mares
turned on, but after some testing I'll gag it.
2000-01-18Kernel route syncer now supports dynamic reconfiguration. Also it doesn'tMartin Mares
depend on the startup counter hack now and uses a zero-time timer instead to make itself scheduled after normal protocol startup.
1999-08-03Kernel route syncer supports multiple tables.Martin Mares
The changes are just too extensive for lazy me to list them there, but see the comment at the top of sysdep/unix/krt.c. The code got a bit more ifdeffy than I'd like, though. Also fixed a bunch of FIXME's and added a couple of others. :)
1999-05-21Removed one unused structure field.Martin Mares
1999-04-03More changes to the kernel syncer.Martin Mares
o Now compatible with filtering. o Learning of kernel routes supported only on CONFIG_SELF_CONSCIOUS systems (on the others it's impossible to get it semantically correct). o Learning now stores all of its routes in a separate fib and selects the ones the kernel really uses for forwarding packets. o Better treatment of CONFIG_AUTO_ROUTES ports. o Lots of internal changes.
