For whatever reason, parser allocated a symbol for every parsed keyword
in each scope. That wasted time and memory. The effect is worsened with
recent changes allowing local scopes, so keywords often promote soft
scopes (with no symbols) to real scopes.
Do not allocate a symbol for a keyword. Take care of keywords that could
be promoted to symbols (kw_sym) and do it explicitly.
The symbol table used just symbol name as a key, and used a trick with
active flag to find symbols in active scopes with one hash table lookup.
The disadvantage is that it can degenerate to O(n) for negative queries
in situations where are many symbols with the same name in different
scopes.
Thanks to Yanko Kaneti for the bugreport.
If the protocol supports route refresh on export, we keep the stop-start
method of route refeed. This applies for BGP with ERR or with export
table on, for OSPF, Babel, RIP or Pipe.
For BGP without ERR or for future selective ROA reloads, we're adding an
auxiliary export request, doing the refeed while the main export request
is running, somehow resembling the original method of BIRD 2 refeed.
There is also a refeed request queue to keep track of different refeed
requests.
For now, there are 4 phases: Necessary (device), Connector (kernel, pipe), Generator (static, rpki) and Regular.
Started and reconfigured are from Necessary to Regular, shutdown backwards.
This way, kernel can flush routes before actually being shutdown.
The problem happened like this:
1. Single route for the given net in table
2. A feed is started
3. The route is deleted (from another thread)
4. The feed finds an empty net, exports nothing, ignores journal (here is bug)
5. The route is added
6. The export transitions from FEEDING to READY
7. While processing the journal, the route deletion and addition combines into noop.
This way routes mysteriously disappeared in specific cases of link instability.
Problem fixed by explicitly marking the empty-net journal entries as processed in step 4.
This variant of logging avoids calling write() for every log line,
allowing for waitless logging. This makes heavy logging less heavy
and more useful for race condition debugging.
The original logging routines were locking a common mutex. This led to
massive underperformance and unwanted serialization when heavily logging
due to lock contention. Now the logging is lockless, though still
serializing on write() syscalls to the same filedescriptor.
This change also brings in a persistent logging channel structures and
thus avoids writing into active configuration data structures during
regular run.
Due to a race condition between rta_apply_hostentry() and rt_update_hostentry(),
happening when a new route is inserted to a table, this commit makes it mandatory
to lock the next hop resolution table while resolving the next hop.
This may be slow, we'll fix it better in some future release
Move all bmp_peer_down() calls to one place and make it synchronous with
BGP session down, ensuring that BMP receives peer_down before route
withdraws from flushing.
Also refactor bmp_peer_down_() message generating code.
Now we use rt_notify() and channels for both feed and notifications,
in both import tables (pre-policy) and regular tables (post-policy).
Remove direct walk in bmp_route_monitor_snapshot().
- Manage BMP state through bmp_peer, bmp_stream, bmp_table structures
- Use channels and rt_notify() hook for route announcements
- Add support for post-policy monitoring
- Send End-of-RIB even when there is no routes
- Remove rte_update_in_notify() hook from import tables
- Update import tables to support channels
- Add bmp_hack (no feed / no flush) flag to channels
Add internal BMP functions with plicit bmp_proto *p as first argument,
which allows using TRACE() macro. Keep list of BMP instances and call
internal functions. Old BMP functions are wrappers that call internal
functions for all enabled BMP instances.
Extract End-of-RIB mark into separate function.

Fix issue with missing AF cap (e.g. IPv4 unicast when no capabilities
are announced).
Add Linpool save/restore action similar to bgp_create_update().

After converting BFD to the new IO loop system, reconfiguration never
really worked. Sadly, we missed this case in our testing suite so it
passed under the radar for quite a while.
Thanks to Andrei Dinu <andrei.dinu@digitalit.ro> for reporting and
isolating this issue.
A forgotten else-clause caused BIRD to treat some pseudo-random place in
memory as fd-pair. This was happening only on startup of the first
thread in group and the value there in memory was typically zero ... and
writing to stdin succeeded.
When running BIRD with stdin not present (like systemd does), it died on
this spurious write. Now it seems to work correctly.
Thanks to Daniel Suchy <danny@danysek.cz> for reporting.
