o Make proto_config->table always point to the right
table even if it should be the default one.
o When shutting down, kill protocol in reverse order
of their priority.
o When stopping a protocol down, disconnect it from
routing tables immediately instead of waiting
for the delayed protocol flush event.
Also added a protocol instance counter (used by KRT code
in very magic ways).
definitely gone. Both rte_update() and rte_discard() have an additional
argument telling which table should they modify.
Also, rte_update() no longer walks the whole protocol list -- each table
has a list of all protocols connected to this table and having the
rt_notify hook set. Each protocol can also freely decide (by calling
proto_add_announce_hook) to connect to any other table, but it will
be probably used only by the table-to-table protocol.
The default debugging dumps now include all routing tables and also
all their connections.
addresses per interface (needed for example for IPv6 support).
Visible changes:
o struct iface now contains a list of all interface addresses (represented
by struct ifa), iface->addr points to the primary address (if any).
o Interface has IF_UP set iff it's up and it has a primary address.
o IF_UP is now independent on IF_IGNORED (i.e., you need to test IF_IGNORED
in the protocols; I've added this, but please check).
o The if_notify_change hook has been simplified (only one interface pointer
etc.).
o Introduced a ifa_notify_change hook. (For now, only the Direct protocol
does use it -- it's wise to just listen to device routes in all other
protocols.)
o Removed IF_CHANGE_FLAGS notifier flag (it was meaningless anyway).
o Updated all the code except netlink (I'll look at it tomorrow) to match
the new semantics (please look at your code to ensure I did it right).
Things to fix:
o Netlink.
o Make krt-iface interpret "eth0:1"-type aliases as secondary addresses.
i.e. struct proto now contains field 'table' pointing to routing table
the protocol is attached to. Use this instead of &master_table.
Modified all protocols except the kernel syncer to use this field.
intended to serve as an example of interface pattern list use. As a side
effect, you can disable generating of device routes by disabling
this protocol.
protocol callbacks for route insertion and deletion from the central table.
RIP should maintain its own per-protocol queue of existing routes, scan it
periodically and call rte_discard() for routes that have timed out.
protocols and don't send route/interface updates to them and when they come up,
we resend the whole route/interface tables privately.
Removed the "scan interface list after protocol start" work-around.
interface since it makes much trouble everywhere. Instead, we understand
secondary addresses as subinterfaces.
- In case interface addresses or basic flags change, we simply convert it
to a down/up sequence.
- Implemented the universal neighbour cache. (Just forget what did previous
includes say of neighbour caching, this one is brand new.)
