Hostcache is a structure for monitoring changes in a routing table that
is used for routes with dynamic/recursive next hops. This is needed for
proper iBGP next hop handling.
In usual configuration, such export is already restricted
with the aid of the direct protocol but there are some
races that can circumvent it. This makes it harder to
break kernel device routes. Also adds an option to
disable this restriction.
- BSD kernel syncer is now self-conscious and can learn alien routes
- important bugfix in BSD kernel syncer (crash after protocol restart)
- many minor changes and bugfixes in kernel syncers and neighbor cache
- direct protocol does not generate host and link local routes
- min_scope check is removed, all routes have SCOPE_UNIVERSE by default
- also fixes some remaining compiler warnings
It seems that by adding one pipe-specific exception to route
announcement code and by adding one argument to rt_notify() callback i
could completely eliminate the need for the phantom protocol instance
and therefore make the code more straightforward. It will also fix some
minor bugs (like ignoring debug flag changes from the command line).
When uncofiguring the pipe and the peer table, the peer table was
unlocked when pipe protocol state changed to down/flushing and not to
down/hungry. This leads to the removal of the peer table before
the routes from the pipe were flushed.
The fix leads to adding some pipe-specific hacks to the nest,
but this seems inevitable.
If protocol announces a route, route is accepted by import filter to
routing table, and later it announces replacement of that route that is
rejected by import filter, old route remains in routing table.
Routes comming through pipe from primary to secondary table were
filtered by both EXPORT and IMPORT filters, but they should be
only filtered by EXPORT filters.
