2022-05-04Removing the route scope attribute. Use custom attributes instead.Maria Matejka
The route scope attribute was used for simple user route marking. As there is a better tool for this (custom attributes), the old and limited way can be dropped.
2022-05-04Moved route preference to eattrsMaria Matejka
2022-05-04Conf: Allowing keyword redefinitionMaria Matejka
Some tokens are both keywords and symbols. For now, we allow only specific keywords to be redefined; in future, more of the keywords may be added to this category. The redefinable keywords must be specified in any .Y file as follows: toksym: THE_KEYWORD ; See proto/bgp/config.Y for an example. Also dropped a lot of unused terminals.
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.

2022-05-04Unified attribute and filter typesMaria Matejka
This commit removes the EAF_TYPE_* namespace completely and also for route attributes, filter-based types T_* are used. This simplifies fetching and setting route attributes from filters. Also, there is now union bval which serves as an universal value holder instead of private unions held separately by eattr and filter code.
2022-05-04Filter: Bitfield eattrs reading / writing moved to filter codeMaria Matejka
Before this change, fetch-update-write and bitmasking was hardcoded in attribute access code cased by the attribute type. Several filter instructions are used to do it instead. As this is certainly going to be a little bit slower than before, the switch block in attribute access code should be completely removed in near future, helping with both performance and code cleanliness. The user interface should have stayed intact.
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.
2022-02-08Netlink: Minor cleanupOndrej Zajicek (work)
2022-01-17Netlink: Add option to specify netlink socket receive buffer sizeOndrej Zajicek (work)
Add option 'netlink rx buffer' to specify netlink socket receive buffer size. Uses SO_RCVBUFFORCE, so it can override rmem_max limit. Thanks to Trisha Biswas and Michal for the original patches.
2022-01-15Netlink: Add another workaround for older kernel headersOndrej Zajicek (work)
Unfortunately, SOL_NETLINK is both recently added and arch-dependent, so we cannot just define it.

2022-01-14Netlink: Enable strict checking for KRT dumpsOndrej Zajicek (work)
Add strict checking for netlink KRT dumps to avoid PMTU cache records from FNHE table dump along with KRT. Linux Kernel added FNHE table dump to the netlink API in patch: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/patch/8d3b68cd37fb5fddc470904cdd6793fcf480c6c1.1561131177.git.sbrivio@redhat.com/ Therefore, since Linux 5.3 these route cache entries are dumped together with regular routes during periodic KRT scans, which in some cases may be huge amount of useless data. This can be avoided by using strict checking for netlink dumps: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20181008031644.15989-1-dsahern@kernel.org/ The patch mitigates the risk of receiving unknown and potentially large number of FNHE records that would block BIRD I/O in each sync. There is a known issue caused by the GRE tunnels on Linux that seems to be creating one FNHE record for each destination IP address that is routed through the tunnel, even when the PMTU equals to GRE interface MTU. Thanks to Tomas Hlavacek for the original patch.
2022-01-14Netlink: Explicitly skip received cloned routesOndrej Zajicek (work)
Kernel uses cloned routes to keep route cache entries, but reports them together with regular routes. They were skipped implicitly as they do not have rtm_protocol filled. Add explicit check for cloned flag and skip such routes explicitly. Also, improve debug logs of skipped routes.
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.
2022-01-05Netlink: Do not ignore dead routes from BIRDOndrej Zajicek (work)
Currently, BIRD ignores dead routes to consider them absent. But it also ignores its own routes and thus it can not correctly manage such routes in some cases. This patch makes an exception for routes with proto bird when ignoring dead routes, so they can be properly updated or removed. Thanks to Alexander Zubkov for the original patch.
2022-01-05Netlink: Improve multipath parsing errorsOndrej Zajicek (work)
Function nl_parse_multipath() should handle errors internally.
2021-12-27BSD: Assume onlink flag on ifaces with only host addressesOndrej Zajicek (work)
The BSD kernel does not support the onlink flag and BIRD does not use direct routes for next hop validation, instead depends on interface address ranges. We would like to handle PtMP cases with only host addresses configured, like: ifconfig wg0 192.168.0.10/32 route add 192.168.0.4 -iface wg0 route add 192.168.0.8 -iface wg0 To accept BIRD routes with onlink next-hop, like: route 192.168.42.0/24 via 192.168.0.4%wg0 onlink BIRD would dismiss the route when receiving from the kernel, as the next-hop 192.168.0.4 is not part of any interface subnet and onlink flag is not kept by the BSD kernel. The commit fixes this by assuming that for routes received from the kernel, any next-hop is onlink on ifaces with only host addresses. Thanks to Stefan Haller for the original patch.
2021-11-24Directly mapped pages are kept for future use if temporarily not neededMaria Matejka
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.
2021-11-22Unified 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.
