2021-11-22Introducing basic RCU primitives for lock-less shared data structuresMaria Matejka
2021-11-22Keeping un-unmmappable pages until they can be reusedMaria Matejka
On Linux, munmap() may fail with ENOMEM when virtual memory is too fragmented. Working this around by just keeping such blocks for future use.
2021-11-22Routing tables now have their own loops.Maria Matejka
This basically means that: * there are some more levels of indirection and asynchronicity, mostly in cleanup procedures, requiring correct lock ordering * all the internal table operations (prune, next hop update) are done without blocking the other parts of BIRD * the protocols may get their own loops very soon
2021-11-22Route sources have an explicit ownerMaria Matejka
This commit prevents use-after-free of routes belonging to protocols which have been already destroyed, delaying also all the protocols' shutdown until all of their routes have been finally propagated through all the pipes down to the appropriate exports. The use-after-free was somehow hypothetic yet theoretically possible in rare conditions, when one BGP protocol authors a lot of routes and the user deletes that protocol by reconfiguring in the same time as next hop update is requested, causing rte_better() to be called on a not-yet-pruned network prefix while the owner protocol has been already freed. In parallel execution environments, this would happen an inter-thread use-after-free, causing possible heisenbugs or other nasty problems.

2021-11-22Converting the former BFD loop to a universal IO loop and protocol loop.Maria Matejka
There is a simple universal IO loop, taking care of events, timers and sockets. Primarily, one instance of a protocol should use exactly one IO loop to do all its work, as is now done in BFD. Contrary to previous versions, the loop is now launched and cleaned by the nest/proto.c code, allowing for a protocol to just request its own loop by setting the loop's lock order in config higher than the_bird. It is not supported nor checked if any protocol changed the requested lock order in reconfigure. No protocol should do it at all.
2021-11-22Moved BFD IO loop out of BFD as we want to use it as socket-io coroutineMaria Matejka
2021-11-22Unified time for whole BIRDMaria Matejka
In previous versions, every thread used its own time structures, effectively leading to different time in every thread and strange logging messages. The time processing code now uses global atomic variables to keep current time available for fast concurrent reading and safe updates.
2021-11-22Debug messages with timestamps.Maria Matejka
On most of current hardware, getting monotonic clock is fast enough to get it and write for each debug message.

2021-11-22Coroutines: A simple and lightweight parallel execution framework.Maria Matejka
2021-11-22Locking subsystem: Just a global BIRD lock to begin with.Maria Matejka
2021-11-22POSIX threads and thread-local storage is needed for concurrent executionMaria Matejka
2021-11-22Special table hooks rectified.Maria Matejka
* internal tables are now more standalone, having their own import and export hooks * route refresh/reload uses stale counter instead of stale flag, allowing to drop walking the table at the beginning * route modify (by BGP LLGR) is now done by a special refeed hook, reimporting the modified routes directly without filters
2021-11-22Table import and export are now explicit hooks.Maria Matejka
Channels have now included rt_import_req and rt_export_req to hook into the table instead of just one list node. This will (in future) allow for: * channel import and export bound to different tables * more efficient pipe code (dropping most of the channel code) * conversion of 'show route' to a special kind of export * temporary static routes from CLI The import / export states are also updated to the new algorithms.

table structures directly
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.
2021-10-13Preference moved to RTA and set explicitly in protocolsMaria Matejka
2021-10-13Preexport: No route modification, no linpool neededMaria Matejka
2021-10-13Multipage allocationMaria Matejka
We can also quite simply allocate bigger blocks. Anyway, we need these blocks to be aligned to their size which needs one mmap() two times bigger and then two munmap()s returning the unaligned parts. The user can specify -B <N> on startup when <N> is the exponent of 2, setting the block size to 2^N. On most systems, N is 12, anyway if you know that your configuration is going to eat gigabytes of RAM, you are almost forced to raise your block size as you may easily get into memory fragmentation issues or you have to raise your maximum mapping count, e.g. "sysctl vm.max_map_count=(number)".

2021-09-10Nest: Clean up main channel handlingOndrej Zajicek (work)
Remove assumption that main channel is the only channel.
2021-06-06sysdep: Add wrapper to get random bytes - updateOndrej Zajicek (work)
Simplify the code and fix an issue with getentropy() return value.
2021-06-06sysdep: Add wrapper to get random bytesToke Høiland-Jørgensen
Add a wrapper function in sysdep to get random bytes, and required checks in configure.ac to select how to do it. The configure script tries, in order, getrandom(), getentropy() and reading from /dev/urandom.
2021-04-07Unix: Expand accepted ranges of iproute2 constantsOndrej Zajicek (work)
We support 32bit table and realm/flow ids, we should also accept them as constants. Thanks to Patrick Hemmer for the bugreport.
2021-03-30Routing table is now a resource allocated from its own poolMaria Matejka
This also fixes memory leaks from import/export tables being never cleaned up and freed.
2021-03-25Slab: head now uses bitmask for used/free nodes info instead of listsMaria Matejka
From now, there are no auxiliary pointers stored in the free slab nodes. This led to strange debugging problems if use-after-free happened in slab-allocated structures, especially if the structure's first member is a next pointer. This also reduces the memory needed by 1 pointer per allocated object. OTOH, we now rely on pages being aligned to their size's multiple, which is quite common anyway.
2021-03-12Rate-limit scheduling of work-eventsOndrej Zajicek (work)
In general, events are code handling some some condition, which is scheduled when such condition happened and executed independently from I/O loop. Work-events are a subgroup of events that are scheduled repeatedly until some (often significant) work is done (e.g. feeding routes to protocol). All scheduled events are executed during each I/O loop iteration. Separate work-events from regular events to a separate queue and rate limit their execution to a fixed number per I/O loop iteration. That should prevent excess latency when many work-events are scheduled at one time (e.g. simultaneous reload of many BGP sessions).
2021-02-10BGP: Add support for BGP hostname capabilityVincent Bernat
This is an implementation of draft-walton-bgp-hostname-capability-02. It is implemented since quite some time for FRR and in datacenter, this gives a nice output to avoid using IP addresses. It is disabled by default. The hostname is retrieved from uname(2) and can be overriden with "hostname" option. The domain name is never set nor displayed. Minor changes by committer.
2021-01-07Kernel: Do not check templatesOndrej Zajicek (work)
So one can define kernel protocol template without channels. For other protocols, it is either irrelevant or already done. Thanks to Clemens Schrimpe for the bugreport.
2020-11-25Log: Fix locking during log reconfigurationOndrej Zajicek (work)
The log subsystem should be locked earlier, as default_log_list() may internally manipulate with the current_log_list (if it is also a default log list).
2020-11-25Log: Reinitialize the static logging structuresOndrej Zajicek (work)
The static logging structures are reused, we need to reinitialize them otherwise add_tail() would fail in debug build. Reinitializing these structures should be fine as the list they belong to is being reinitialized on entry to the very same function. Thanks to Andreas Rammhold and Mikael Magnusson for patches.
2020-06-03Log: Do not open logfiles when parse-and-exit option is activeOndrej Zajicek (work)
This is a quick workaround for an issue where configured logfiles are opened/created during parsing of a config file even when parse-and-exit option is active. We should later refactor the logging code to avoid opening log during parsing altogether.
2020-05-01Unix socket: Path length check directly before copying the path.Maria Matejka
This is not needed as the string is always short enough, anyway it may be needed in future and one strlen during BIRD start is cheap enough.

2020-04-09Configuration strings are constant.Maria Matejka
This is merely a const propagation. There was no problem in there.
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.
2020-02-04Conf: Better error message when reading iproute2 configMaria Matejka
Reported by: Martin Weinelt <martin@darmstadt.freifunk.net>
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.
2019-12-17KRT: Fix removal of KRF_INSTALLEDOndrej Zajicek (work)
Use route id from net->routes to check export_map. Route received from sysdep KRT code does not have proper id.
2019-12-16KRT: Remove KRF_INSTALLED flagOndrej Zajicek (work)
The same information is stored in export_map of kernel protocol.
2019-11-26Nest: Use bitmaps to keep track of exported routesOndrej Zajicek (work)
Use a hierarchical bitmap in a routing table to assign ids to routes, and then use bitmaps (indexed by route id) in channels to keep track whether routes were exported. This avoids unreliable and inefficient re-evaluation of filters for old routes in order to determine whether they were exported.
2019-10-22Accept uppercase letters in iproute2 namesOndrej Zajicek
Names read from texfiles in /etc/iproute2/* are normalized by replacing non-alphanumeric chars with underscore. The patch fixes handling of uppercase letters, which were handled as non-alphanumberic. Thanks to Igor Gavrilov for the bugreport.
