FreeBSD silently changes TTL to 1 when MSG_DONTROUTE is used, even when
it is explicitly set to another value. That breaks TTL security sockets,
including BFD which always uses TTL 255. Bad FreeBSD!
In some circumstances (old LSA flushed but not acknowledged and not
removed) origination of a new LSA may wrongly triggers LSA collision
code. The patch fixes that.
Thanks to Asbjorn Mikkelsen for the bugreport and @mdelagueronniere
for the original patch.
Fix crash during reconfiguration of OSPF config with vlinks. When vlink
is reconfigured, a generic iface-reconfiguration code is used, which in
one place supposes that it is running on a regular iface.
Thanks to Cybertinus for a bugreport.
Neighbor entries for static ECMP routes were not cleaned up during
reconfigure and pointed to the old instances, which leads to crash
after reconfigure.
Thanks to Vladimir Osmolovskiy for the bugreport.
Most protocols in IPv6 mode use link-local source addresses and expect
that there is one on each active interface. The old code depended on
assumption that if there is some IPv6 address on iface, there is also an
IPv6 link-local address on that iface (added by kernel when the iface
went up). Unfortunately, that is not generally true, as a configured
global address sometimes ceases to be tentative (finishes DOD) before
a link-local address on the same iface. In such case a protocol iface
(namely RAdv and Babel) is activated, but fails to found link-local
address and stays in failed state.
The patch fixes that by tracking 'primary' IPv6 link-local address,
sending iface restart notifications when it changes and making
protocols ignore iface-up notifications when no such address is
selected for an iface.
Missing argument in MTU change trace message can crash bird when MTU
change happens and trace messages are active.
Thanks to Alexander Velkov for the bugreport.
The new MRT protocol is responsible for periodic RIB table dumps in the
MRT format (RFC 6396). Also the existing code for BGP4MP MRT dumps is
refactored and splitted between BGP to MRT protocols, will be more
integrated into MRT in the future.
Example:
protocol mrt {
table "*";
filename "%N_%F_%T.mrt";
period 60;
}
It is partially based on the old MRT code from Pavel Tvrdik.
BSD systems cannot use SO_DONTROUTE, because it does not work properly
with multicast packets (perhaps it tries to find iface based on multicast
group address). But we can use MSG_DONTROUTE sendmsg() flag for unicast
packets. Works on FreeBSD, is ignored on OpenBSD and is broken on NetBSD
(i guess due to integrated routing table and ARP table).
When use of LLGR is negotiated, handle hold timeout by LLGR instead of by
hard restart. Allow to configure whether BFD session down event should be
handled by GR/LLGR or by hard restart.
If export filter is changed during reconfiguration and a route disappears
between reconfiguration and refeed (e.g., if the route is a static route
also removed during the reconfiguration), the route is not withdrawn.
The issue was fixed for regular channels by an earlier patch. This patch
fixes the issue for channels in RA_ACCEPTED mode (first-pass-the-filter),
used by BGP with 'secondary' option.
If export filter is changed during reconfiguration and a route disappears
between reconfiguration and refeed (e.g., if the route is a static route
also removed during the reconfiguration), the route is not withdrawn.
The patch fixes that by adding tx reconfiguration timestamp.

The bgpmask literals can include expressions. This is OK but they have
to be interpreted as soon as the code is run, not in the time the code
is used as value.
This led to strange behavior like rewriting bgpmasks when they shan't
be rewritten:
function mask_generator(int as)
{
return [= * as * =];
}
function another()
bgpmask m1;
bgpmask m2;
{
m1 = mask_generator(10);
m2 = mask_generator(20);
if (m1 == m2) {
print("strange"); # this would happen
}
}
Moreover, sending this to CLI would cause stack overflow and knock down the
whole BIRD, as soon as there is at least one route to execute the given
filter on.
show route filter bgpmask mmm; bgppath ppp; { ppp = +empty+; mmm = [= (ppp ~ mmm) =]; print(mmm); accept; }
The magic match operator (~) inside the bgpmask literal would try to
resolve mmm, which points to the same bgpmask so it would resolve
itself, call the magic match operator and vice versa.
After this patch, the bgpmask literal will get resolved as soon as it's
assigned to mmm and it also will return a type error as bool is not
convertible to ASN in BIRD.
This instruction was removed in the commit linked below
and never used ever again. Rest in peace.

It was supposed to do tail-recursion in interpret() but it didn't
compile as such. Converting it to loop makes a significant filter
performance improvement for flat filters.
The two-letter instructions were quite messy but they could be easily
read from memory dumps. Now GDB (since 2012) supports pretty printing
enum values and GCC checks the switch construction for missing enum
values so we are converting the nice two-byte values to enums.
Anyway, the enum still keeps the old two-byte values to be able to read
the instruction codes even without GDB from plain memory dump.
On Linux, setting the ToS will also set the priority and the range of
accepted values is quite limited (masked by 0x1e). Therefore, 0xc0 is
translated to a priority of 0, not something we want, overriding the
"7" priority which was set previously explicitely. To avoid that, just
move setting priority later in the code.
Thanks to Vincent Bernat for the patch.
A filter should log messages only if executed explicitly (e.g., during
route export or route import). When a filter is executed for technical
reasons (e.g., to establish whether a route was exported before), it
should run silently.
