2018-01-23IO: Fix socket priorityOndrej Zajicek (work)
On Linux, setting the ToS will also set the priority and the range of accepted values is quite limited (masked by 0x1e). Therefore, 0xc0 is translated to a priority of 0, not something we want, overriding the "7" priority which was set previously explicitely. To avoid that, just move setting priority later in the code. Thanks to Vincent Bernat for the patch.
2018-01-16Filter: Allow silent filter executionOndrej Zajicek (work)
A filter should log messages only if executed explicitly (e.g., during route export or route import). When a filter is executed for technical reasons (e.g., to establish whether a route was exported before), it should run silently.
2017-09-06Basic VRF supportOndrej Zajicek (work)
Add basic VRF (virtual routing and forwarding) support. Protocols can be associated with VRFs, such protocols will be restricted to interfaces assigned to the VRF (as reported by Linux kernel) and will use sockets bound to the VRF. E.g., different multihop BGP instances can use diffent kernel routing tables to handle BGP TCP connections. The VRF support is preliminary, currently there are several limitations: - Recent Linux kernels (4.11) do not handle correctly sockets bound to interaces that are part of VRF, so most protocols other than multihop BGP do not work. This will be fixed by future kernel versions. - Neighbor cache ignores VRFs. Breaks config with the same prefix on local interfaces in different VRFs. Not much problem as single hop protocols do not work anyways. - Olock code ignores VRFs. Breaks config with multiple BGP peers with the same IP address in different VRFs. - Incoming BGP connections are not dispatched according to VRFs. Breaks config with multiple BGP peers with the same IP address in different VRFs. Perhaps we would need some kernel API to read VRF of incoming connection? Or probably use multiple listening sockets in int-new branch. - We should handle master VRF interface up/down events and perhaps disable associated protocols when VRF goes down. Or at least disable associated interfaces. - Also we should check if the master iface is really VRF iface and not some other kind of master iface. - BFD session request dispatch should be aware of VRFs. - Perhaps kernel protocol should read default kernel table ID from VRF iface so it is not necessary to configure it. - Perhaps we should have per-VRF default table.
2017-09-05KRT: Fix IPv6 ECMP handling with Linux 4.11+Ondrej Zajicek (work)
Starting from Linux 4.11, IPv6 ECMP routes are now notified using RTA_MULTIPATH, like IPv4 ones. The patch adds support for RTA_MULTIPATH parsing for IPv6 routes. This also enables to parse ECMP alien routes correctly. Thanks to Vincent Bernat for the original patch.
2017-09-04BSD: Fix alignment issueOndrej Zajicek (work)
Incorrect structure alignment breaks kernel routing table updates on FreeBSD/ARM (and perhaps other platforms). Thanks to Eugene Sevastyanov for the original patch.
2017-05-18Fix some forgotten warningsOndrej Zajicek (work)
2017-05-16Remove autoconf macros for time_t and alignmentOndrej Zajicek (work)
Replaced by constant compile-time expressions. CPU_STRUCT_ALIGN is not really correct, but is consistent with the old behavior.
2017-05-16Minor autoconf cleanup and documentation updateOndrej Zajicek (work)
2017-05-16Some more autoconf cleanupsOndrej Zajicek (work)
Replace integer type width detection with C99 fixed-width types. Also remove some unused or obsolete code. Thanks to Ruben Kerkhof for the patchset.
2017-03-14Some autoconf cleanupsOndrej Zajicek (work)
The patch allows to use autoreconf, replaces some long obsolete constructs and does some other minor cleanups. Also, the file configure.in is renamed to configure.ac, as the old name has been deprecated for a long time. Thanks to Ruben Kerkhof for the patchset.
2017-01-17Fix IP_HDRINCL usage on FreeBSD 11Ondrej Zajicek (work)
FreeBSD 11 changed endianity of ip_len field from host order to network order. Also DragonFly BSD allegedly expects network order here. Thanks to Olivier Cochard-Labbé for the patch.

2016-11-01Log: Fix broken syslog nameOndrej Zajicek (work)
BIRD passed string from configuration to openlog(), which kept it internally. After reconfiguration the old string was freed, therefore openlog had invalid copy. Thanks to Chris Caputo for the original patch.

2016-09-19KRT: Add krt_scope attributeOndrej Zajicek (work)
Add a new route attribute, krt_scope, to expose the Linux kernel route scope. Constants from /etc/iproute2/rt_scopes (prefixed by "ips_") are expected to be used with the attribute. Both import and export are supported. Also, the patch fixes device route export to the kernel, by setting link scope automatically.

2016-09-15rt-table: Fix kernel protocol export filter memory bugPavel Tvrdik
Kernel protocol calls rt_export_merged(), which used @rte_update_pool for temporary allocations, supposing it is called from other functions from rt-table.c that handles locking and flushing of the linpool. Therefore, linpool was not flushed properly and memory leaked. Add linpool argument to rt_export_merged() and use @krt_filter_lp when called from kernel protocol. Thanks to Justin Cattle and Alexander Frolkin for the bugreport. (Commit squashed and updated by Ondrej Zajicek)
2016-09-15KRT: Add kernel metric protocol optionOndrej Zajicek (work)
Kernel routes with different metrics do not clash with each other, therefore using dedicated metric value is a reliable way to avoid overwriting routes from other sources (e.g. kernel device routes). Although kernel route metric could already be set as a route attribute by filters, that is not consistent with the way how Linux kernel handles route metric - not just a route attribute, but a part of a route key.
2016-09-14KRT: Support for IPv6 ECMPOndrej Zajicek (work)
Linux represents IPv6 ECMP routes as a sequence of unipath routes with the same prefix. We have to translate between our representation (one route with multipath next hop) and the Linux representation in both directions. Proper learning of alien IPv6 ECMP routes still not supported. Thanks to Mikhail Sennikovskii for the original patch.

2016-08-30KRT: Forbid path merging on BSDOndrej Zajicek (work)
We support ECMP routes only on Linux. Exported routes are checked in krt_capable(), but a route generated during path merging avoids this check.

2016-04-13BSD: Add the IPsec SA/SP database entries controlOndrej Zajicek (work)
Add code for manipulation with TCP-MD5 keys in the IPsec SA/SP database at FreeBSD systems. Now, BGP MD5 authentication (RFC 2385) keys are handled automatically on both Linux and FreeBSD. Based on patches from Pavel Tvrdik.

Add option that changes default paths for config file and control socket to the current working directory.
2016-04-06IO: Avoid multiple event cycles in one loop cycle.Ondrej Zajicek (work)
Event cycle may took too much time and trigger next timer events, so avoid cycling between timer and event cycles inside the loop cycle.
2016-04-06IO: Replace RX priority heuristic with explicit markOndrej Zajicek (work)
In BIRD, RX has lower priority than TX with the exception of RX from control socket. The patch replaces heuristic based on socket type with explicit mark and uses it for both control socket and BGP session waiting to be established. This should avoid an issue when during heavy load, outgoing connection could connect (TX event), send open, but then failed to receive OPEN / establish in time, not sending notifications between and therefore got hold timer expired error from the neighbor immediately after it finally established the connection.
2016-04-06KRT: Fix route learn scan when route changedOndrej Zajicek (work)
When a kernel route changed, function krt_learn_scan() noticed that and replaced the route in internal kernel FIB, but after that, function krt_learn_prune() failed to propagate the new route to the nest, because it confused the new route with the (removed) old best route and decided that the best route did not changed. Wow, the original code (and the bug) is almost 17 years old.

The events variable is used in the short loop decision. The reasons are not much clear, keeping this to keep the former behaviour.

2016-03-11Unix: Rework of select-loop to poll-loopJan Moskyto Matejka
This should lift the limit of FD_SETSIZE and allow more than 1024 fd's. FD_SETSIZE limit doesn't matter now when creating new sockets.
2016-02-11Unix: Fix bug in syslog name handlingOndrej Zajicek (work)
Pointer to current_log_name has to be changed even if the name is the same, because the old one will be invalid/freed after reconfiguration.
2015-11-24Netlink: attribute validation before parsingJan Moskyto Matejka
Wanted netlink attributes are defined in a table, specifying their size and neediness. Removing the long conditions that did the validation before. Also parsing IPv4 and IPv6 versions regardless on the IPV6 macro.
