There were quite a lot of conflicts in flowspec validation code which
ultimately led to some code being a bit rewritten, not only adapted from
this or that branch, yet it is still in a limit of a merge.
For now, all route attributes are stored as eattrs in ea_list. This
should make route manipulation easier and it also allows for a layered
approach of route attributes where updates from filters will be stored
as an overlay over the previous version.
As there is either a nexthop or another destination specification
(or othing in case of ROAs and Flowspec), it may be merged together.
This code is somehow quirky and should be replaced in future by better
implementation of nexthop.
Also flowspec validation result has its own attribute now as it doesn't
have anything to do with route nexthop.
This doesn't do anything more than to put the whole structure inside
adata. The overall performance is certainly going downhill; we'll
optimize this later.
Anyway, this is one of the latest items inside rta and in several
commits we may drop rta completely and move to eattrs-only routes.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The interface pointer was improperly converted to u32 and back. Fixing
this by explicitly allocating an adata structure for it. It's not so
memory efficient, we'll optimize this later.
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.
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.
Recent changes in neighbor code caused RIP to access neighbor field which
is NULL during interface/neighbor removal and caused crash when debug
messages are enabled. Use correct field to get iface from neighbor.
