A recent change in Babel causes ifaces to disappear after
reconfiguration. The patch fixes that.
Thanks to Johannes Kimmel for an insightful bugreport.
Implement flowspec validation procedure as described in RFC 8955 sec. 6
and RFC 9117. The Validation procedure enforces that only routers in the
forwarding path for a network can originate flowspec rules for that
network.
The patch adds new mechanism for tracking inter-table dependencies, which
is necessary as the flowspec validation depends on IP routes, and flowspec
rules must be revalidated when best IP routes change.
The validation procedure is disabled by default and requires that
relevant IP table uses trie, as it uses interval queries for subnets.
Attach a prefix trie to IP/VPN/ROA tables. Use it for net_route() and
net_roa_check(). This leads to 3-5x speedups for IPv4 and 5-10x
speedup for IPv6 of these calls.
TODO:
- Rebuild the trie during rt_prune_table()
- Better way to avoid trie_add_prefix() in net_get() for existing tables
- Make it configurable (?)
One of previous commits added error logging of invalid routes. This
also inadvertently caused error logging of route loops, which should
be ignored silently. Fix that.
Most error messages in attribute processing are in rx/decode step and
these use L_REMOTE log class. But there are few that are in tx/export
step and these should use L_ERR log class.
Use tx-specific macro (REJECT()) in tx/export code and rename field
err_withdraw to err_reject in struct bgp_export_state to ensure that
appropriate error reporting macros are called in proper contexts.
RFC 6810 and RFC 8210 specify that the "Max Length" value MUST NOT be
less than the Prefix Length element (underflow). On the other side,
overflow of the Max Length element also is possible, it being an 8-bit
unsigned integer allows for values larger than 32 or 128. This also
implicitly ensures there is no overflow of "Length" value.
When a PDU is received where the Max Length field is corrputed, the RTR
client (BIRD) should immediately terminate the session, flush all data
learned from that cache, and log an error for the operator.

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.
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
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.
* 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.
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.
