For active sessions, ignore received packets with zero local id and
mismatched remote id. That forces a session timeout instead of an
immediate session restart. It makes BFD sessions more resilient to
packet spoofing.
Thanks to André Grüneberg for the suggestion.
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.
Add BFD protocol option 'strict bind' to use separate listening socket
for each BFD interface bound to its address instead of using shared
listening sockets.
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.
Direct BFD sessions needs to be dispatched not only by IP addresses, but
also by interfaces, in order to avoid collisions between neighbors with
the same IPv6 link-local addresses.
Extend BFD session hash_ip key by interface index to handle that. Use 0
for multihop sessions.
Thanks to Sebastian Hahn for the original patch.
BFD session options are configured per interface in BFD protocol. This
patch allows to specify them also per-request in protocols requesting
sessions (currently limited to BGP).
Most commands like 'show ospf neighbors' fail when protocol is not
specified and there are multiple instances of given protocol type.
This is annoying in BIRD 2, as many protocols have IPv4 and IPv6
instances. The patch changes that by showing output from all protocol
instances of appropriate type.
Note that the patch also removes terminating cli_msg() call from these
commands and moves it to the common iterating code.
The bfd_reconfigure_neighbors() returned after first reconfigured
neighbor instead of continuing with the next one.
Thanks to Winston Chen for the bugreport and a patch.
Protocol can have specified VRF, in such case it is restricted to a set
of ifaces associated with the VRF, otherwise it can use all interfaces.
The patch allows to specify VRF as 'default', in which case it is
restricted to a set of iface not associated with any VRF.
