2023-01-12Log message before abortingMike Crute
Log message before aborting due to watchdog timeout. We have to use async-safe write to debug log, as it is done in signal handler. Minor changes from committer.
2022-12-10CLI: Fix for long-lived sessions during high loadsOndrej Zajicek
When there is a continuos stream of CLI commands, cli_get_command() always returns 1 (there is a new command). Anyway, the socket receive buffer was reset only when there was no command at all, leading to a strange behavior: after a while, the CLI receive buffer came to its end, then read() was called with zero size buffer, it returned 0 which was interpreted as EOF. The patch fixes that by resetting the buffer position after each command and moving remaining data at the beginning of buffer. Thanks to Maria Matejka for examining the bug and for the original bugfix.

2022-11-09Conf: Make 'configure check' command restrictedOndrej Zajicek
While it does not directly change BIRD state, it can trigger reading arbitrary files and eating significant memory.
2022-11-09Conf: Free stored old config before parsing new oneOndrej Zajicek
BIRD keeps a previous (old) configuration for the purpose of undo. The existing code frees it after a new configuration is successfully parsed during reconfiguration. That causes memory usage spikes as there are temporarily three configurations (old, current, and new). The patch changes it to free the old one before parsing the new one (as user already requested a new config). The disadvantage is that undo is not available after failed reconfiguration.
2022-11-03Page allocator: Fixed minor bugs and added commentaryMaria Matejka
2022-11-02Memory pages are not munmapped, instead we just madvise()Maria Matejka
Memory unmapping causes slow address space fragmentation, leading in extreme cases to failing to allocate pages at all. Removing this problem by keeping all the pages allocated to us, yet calling madvise() to let kernel dispose of them. This adds a little complexity and overhead as we have to keep the pointers to the free pages, therefore to hold e.g. 1 GB of 4K pages with 8B pointers, we have to store 2 MB of data.
2022-09-27KRT: Fix setting default preferenceAlexander Zubkov
Changes in commit eb937358 broke setting of channel preference for alien routes learned during scan. The preference was set only for async routes. Move common attribute processing part of functions krt_learn_async() and krt_learn_async() to a separate function to have only one place for such changes.

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.

2022-06-27Filter: Implement soft scopesOndrej Zajicek (work)
Soft scopes are anonymous scopes that most likely do not contain any symbol, so allocating regular scope is postponed when it is really needed.
2022-06-27Preexport callback now takes the channel instead of protocol as argumentMaria Matejka
Passing protocol to preexport was in fact a historical relic from the old times when channels weren't a thing. Refactoring that to match current extensibility needs.

2022-04-13Fixed a munmap abort bugMaria Matejka
When BIRD was munmapping too many pages, it sometimes aborted, saying that munmap failed with "Not enough memory" as the address space was getting more and more fragmented. There is a workaround in place, simply keeping that page for future use, yet it has never been compiled in because I somehow forgot to include errno.h. And because I also thought that somebody may have ENOMEM not defined (why?!), there was a check which quietly omitted that workaround. Anyway, ENOMEM is POSIX. It's an utter nonsense to check for its existence. If it doesn't exist, something is broken.

2022-02-08Alloc: Use posix_memalign() instead of aligned_alloc()Ondrej Zajicek (work)
For compatibility with older systems use posix_memalign(). We can switch to aligned_alloc() when we commit to C11 for multithreading.
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.

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)".

2021-06-06sysdep: 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.

2021-03-30Routing 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.
