Bug introduced by commit 38278d94ba0a179d5eeb061a59850a4e1c150e5b.
|
|
|
|
|
|
All the memory is just freed implicitly on exit, no need for
page-by-page unmapping.
|
|
|

The resource pool system is highly hierarchical and keeping spare pages
in pools leads to unnecessarily complex memory management.
Loops have a flat hiearchy, at least for now, and it is therefore much
easier to keep care of pages, especially in cases of excessive virtual memory
fragmentation.
|
|
Also all loops have their basic resource pool for allocations which are
auto-freed when the loop is stopping.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Linux, munmap() may fail with ENOMEM when virtual memory is too
fragmented. Working this around by just keeping such blocks for future
use.
|

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
|
|
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.

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.

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.
|
|
On most of current hardware, getting monotonic clock is fast enough to
get it and write for each debug message.

* 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
|
|
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
|
|
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.

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)".

Remove assumption that main channel is the only channel.

Simplify the code and fix an issue with getentropy() return value.
|
|
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.

We support 32bit table and realm/flow ids, we should also accept them as
constants.
Thanks to Patrick Hemmer for the bugreport.
