Add a new route attribute, krt_scope, to expose the Linux kernel route
scope. Constants from /etc/iproute2/rt_scopes (prefixed by "ips_") are
expected to be used with the attribute. Both import and export are
supported.
Also, the patch fixes device route export to the kernel, by setting link
scope automatically.
Kernel protocol calls rt_export_merged(), which used @rte_update_pool for
temporary allocations, supposing it is called from other functions from
rt-table.c that handles locking and flushing of the linpool. Therefore,
linpool was not flushed properly and memory leaked.
Add linpool argument to rt_export_merged() and use @krt_filter_lp when
called from kernel protocol.
Thanks to Justin Cattle and Alexander Frolkin for the bugreport.

Kernel routes with different metrics do not clash with each other,
therefore using dedicated metric value is a reliable way to avoid
overwriting routes from other sources (e.g. kernel device routes).
Although kernel route metric could already be set as a route attribute by
filters, that is not consistent with the way how Linux kernel handles
route metric - not just a route attribute, but a part of a route key.
Linux represents IPv6 ECMP routes as a sequence of unipath routes with
the same prefix. We have to translate between our representation (one
route with multipath next hop) and the Linux representation in both
directions.
Proper learning of alien IPv6 ECMP routes still not supported.
Thanks to Mikhail Sennikovskii for the original patch.
Ignore tentative IPv6 addresses and wait until finish of Duplicate
Address Detection (We got notification when an address is no longer
tentative) to avoid problems when protocols try to use interfaces
with tentative link-local addresses.

The netlink code assumes an order for the members of struct msghdr.
This breaks recvmsg and sendmsg with musl libc on mips64. Fix this by
using designated initializers instead.

This patch implements the IPv6 subset of the Babel routing protocol.
Based on the patch from Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen, with some heavy
modifications and bugfixes.
Thanks to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for the original patch.
Add code for manipulation with TCP-MD5 keys in the IPsec SA/SP database
at FreeBSD systems. Now, BGP MD5 authentication (RFC 2385) keys are
handled automatically on both Linux and FreeBSD.
Based on patches from Pavel Tvrdik.
In BIRD, RX has lower priority than TX with the exception of RX from
control socket. The patch replaces heuristic based on socket type with
explicit mark and uses it for both control socket and BGP session waiting
to be established.
This should avoid an issue when during heavy load, outgoing connection
could connect (TX event), send open, but then failed to receive OPEN /
establish in time, not sending notifications between and therefore
got hold timer expired error from the neighbor immediately after it
finally established the connection.
When a kernel route changed, function krt_learn_scan() noticed that and
replaced the route in internal kernel FIB, but after that, function
krt_learn_prune() failed to propagate the new route to the nest, because
it confused the new route with the (removed) old best route and decided
that the best route did not changed.
Wow, the original code (and the bug) is almost 17 years old.
Wanted netlink attributes are defined in a table, specifying
their size and neediness. Removing the long conditions that did the
validation before.
Also parsing IPv4 and IPv6 versions regardless on the IPV6 macro.
Since 2.6.19, the netlink API defines RTA_TABLE routing attribute to
allow 32-bit routing table IDs. Using this attribute to index routing
tables at Linux, instead of 8-bit rtm_table field.
Symbol lookup by cf_find_symbol() not only did the lookup but also added
new void symbols allocated from cfg_mem linpool, which gets broken when
lookups are done outside of config parsing, which may lead to crashes
during reconfiguration.
The patch separates lookup-only cf_find_symbol() and config-modifying
cf_get_symbol(), while the later is called only during parsing. Also
new_config and cfg_mem global variables are NULLed outside of parsing.
If the number of sockets is too much for select(), we should at least
handle it with proper error messages and reject new sockets instead of
breaking the event loop.
Thanks to Alexander V. Chernikov for the patch.
When a new route was imported from kernel and chosen as preferred, then
the old best route was propagated as a withdraw to the kernel protocol.
Under some circumstances such withdraw propagated to the BSD kernel could
remove the new alien route and thus reverting the import.
Unfortunately, some interfaces support multicast but do not have
this flag set, so we use it only as a positive hint.
Thanks to Clint Armstrong for noticing the problem.
