For now, there are 4 phases: Necessary (device), Connector (kernel, pipe), Generator (static, rpki) and Regular.
Started and reconfigured are from Necessary to Regular, shutdown backwards.
This way, kernel can flush routes before actually being shutdown.
The problem happened like this:
1. Single route for the given net in table
2. A feed is started
3. The route is deleted (from another thread)
4. The feed finds an empty net, exports nothing, ignores journal (here is bug)
5. The route is added
6. The export transitions from FEEDING to READY
7. While processing the journal, the route deletion and addition combines into noop.
This way routes mysteriously disappeared in specific cases of link instability.
Problem fixed by explicitly marking the empty-net journal entries as processed in step 4.
Due to a race condition between rta_apply_hostentry() and rt_update_hostentry(),
happening when a new route is inserted to a table, this commit makes it mandatory
to lock the next hop resolution table while resolving the next hop.
This may be slow, we'll fix it better in some future release
There was a bug occuring when one thread sought for a src by its global id
and another one was allocating another src with such an ID that it caused
route src global index reallocation. This brief moment of inconsistency
led to a rare use-after-free of the old global index block.
Memory allocation is a fragile part of BIRD and we need checking that
everybody is using the resource pools in an appropriate way. To assure
this, all the resource pools are associated with locking domains and
every resource manipulation is thoroughly checked whether the
appropriate locking domain is locked.
With transitive resource manipulation like resource dumping or mass free
operations, domains are locked and unlocked on the go, thus we require
pool domains to have higher order than their parent to allow for this
transitive operations.
Adding pool locking revealed some cases of insecure memory manipulation
and this commit fixes that as well.
If there are lots of loops in a single thread and only some of the loops
are actually active, the other loops are now kept aside and not checked
until they actually get some timers, events or active sockets.
This should help with extreme loads like 100k tables and protocols.
Also ping and loop pickup mechanism was allowing subtle race
conditions. Now properly handling collisions between loop ping and pickup.
Repeated pipe refeed should not end route refresh as the prune routine
may start pruning otherwise valid routes.
The same applies for BGP repeated route refresh.
When changing default table behavior, I missed that it enabled to
configure multiple master4 and master6 tables. Now BIRD recognizes it
and fails properly.
The import table feed wasn't resetting the table-specific route values
like REF_FILTERED and thus made the route look like filtered even though
it should have been re-evaluated as accepted.
The feature of showing all prefixes inside the given one has been added
in v2.0.9 but not well documented. Fixing it by this update.
Text in doc and commit message added by commiter.
Instead of propagating interface updates as they are loaded from kernel,
they are enqueued and all the notifications are called from a
protocol-specific event. This change allows to break the locking loop
between protocols and interfaces.
Anyway, this change is based on v2 branch to keep the changes between v2
and v3 smaller.
