This is an implementation of draft-walton-bgp-hostname-capability-02.
It is implemented since quite some time for FRR and in datacenter, this
gives a nice output to avoid using IP addresses.
It is disabled by default. The hostname is retrieved from uname(2) and
can be overriden with "hostname" option. The domain name is never set
nor displayed.
Minor changes by committer.
If there are roa_check() calls in channel filters, then the channel
subscribes to ROA table notifications, which are sent when ROA tables
are updated (subject to settle time) and trigger channel reload or
refeed.
Flag signalling that MP-BGP mode should be used got reset after first
batch of routes, so remaining routes were processed without that, leading
to missing MP_REACH_NLRI attribute.
Thanks to Piotr Wydrych for the bugreport.
With net.ipv4.conf.XXX.ignore_routes_with_linkdown sysctl, a user can
ensure the kernel does not use a route whose target interface is down.
Such route is marked with a 'dead' / RTNH_F_DEAD flag.
Ignore these routes or multipath nexthops during scan.
Thanks to Vincent Bernat for the original patch.
Add fake MP_REACH_NLRI attribute with BGP next hop when encoding MRT
table dumps for IPv6 routes. That is necessary to encode next hop as
NEXT_HOP attribute is not used for MP-BGP.
Thanks to Santiago Aggio for the bugreport.
Direct BFD sessions needs to be dispatched not only by IP addresses, but
also by interfaces, in order to avoid collisions between neighbors with
the same IPv6 link-local addresses.
Extend BFD session hash_ip key by interface index to handle that. Use 0
for multihop sessions.
Thanks to Sebastian Hahn for the original patch.
It was mixed-up if hostname is IPv6 address, and reporting separate
values (like port) on separate lines fits better into key-value style
of 'show protocols all' output. Also, the patch simplifies transport
identification formatting (although it is unused now).
Thanks to Alarig Le Lay for the suggestion.
So one can define kernel protocol template without channels.
For other protocols, it is either irrelevant or already done.
Thanks to Clemens Schrimpe for the bugreport.
The option is not implemented since transition to 2.0 and no plan to add it.
Also remove some deprecated RTS_* valus from documentation.
Thanks to Sébastien Parisot for notification.
For ECMP routes, RTA_FLOW attribute must be set per-nexthop, not
per-route. Our corresponding krt_realm attribute is per-route.
Thanks to Mikhail Petrov for the bugreport.
Broken detection of top-level case caused crash when return was called
from top-of-stack position. It should behave as reject/accept.
Thanks to Damian Zaremba for the bugreport.
The patch add support for per-channel debug flags, currently just
'states', 'routes', and 'filters'. Flag 'states' is used for channel
state changes, remaining two for routes passed through the channel.
The per-protocol debug flags 'routes'/'filters' still enable reporting
of routes for all channels, to keep existing behavior.
The patch causes minor changes in some log messages.
Add 'weight' route attribute that allows to get and set ECMP weight of
nexthops. Similar to 'gw' attribute, it is limited to the first nexthop,
but it is useful for handling BGP multipath, where an ECMP route is
merged from multiple regular routes.
The log subsystem should be locked earlier, as default_log_list() may
internally manipulate with the current_log_list (if it is also a default
log list).
The static logging structures are reused, we need to reinitialize them
otherwise add_tail() would fail in debug build. Reinitializing these
structures should be fine as the list they belong to is being
reinitialized on entry to the very same function.
Thanks to Andreas Rammhold and Mikael Magnusson for patches.
When config structures are copied due to template application,
we need to reset list node structure before calling add_tail().
Thanks to Mikael Magnusson for patches.
The babel protocol code was initialising objects returned from the slab
allocator by assigning to each of the struct members individually, but
wasn't touching the NODE member while doing so. This leads to warnings on
debug builds since commit:
baac700906 ("List expensive check.")
To fix this, introduce an sl_allocz() variant of the slab allocator which
will zero out the memory before returning it, and switch all the babel call
sites to use this version. The overhead for doing this should be negligible
for small objects, and in the case of babel, the largest object being
allocated was being zeroed anyway, so we can drop the memset in
babel_read_tlv().
Add support for proper handling of multiple routes with the same network
to the static protocol. Routes are distinguished by internal index, which
is assigned automatically (sequentially for routes within each network).
Having different route preference or igp_metric attribute is optional.
When a new link-LSA is originated, we need to notify intra-area-prefix-LSA
handling, like when a new link-LSA is received. Otherwise a new network
prefix added to a DR is not propagated immediately.
Thanks to Bala Sajja for the bugreport.
Logging as a result of triggered receive limit in import table code
accesset rte->net, which was not filed yet.
Thanks to Pier Carlo Chiodi for the bugreport.
Merge multiple BFD option blocks in BGP configs instead of using the last
one. That is necessary for proper handling of templates when BFD options
are used both in a BGP template and in a BGP protocol derived from that
template.
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).
Add 'ignore max length' option to RPKI protocol, which ignores received
max length in ROA records and instead uses max value (32 or 128). This
may be useful for implementing loose RPKI check for blackholes.
Sometimes multicast OSPF packet is received when neighbor adjacency is
not established. Such packet should be ignored earlier in packet
processing as otherwise it causes strange error messages when OSPFv3
authentication is enabled.
Put new non-best routes to the end of list instead of the second
position. Put updated routes to their old position. Position is changed
just by best route selection.
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.
Compare the content of PM_ASN_SET in path masks. A reconfiguration
was not properly triggering a reload of affected protocols when the
members of a set in a path mask change.
Also, update the printing code to so that it can display sets in a path
mask.
Add a missing return statement. Path masks with the same length were all
considered the same. Comparing two with different length would cause
out-of-bounds memory access.
Add support for RTA_MULTIPATH attribute parsing for AF_MPLS routes.
BIRD is capable of installing a multipath route into kernel on Linux,
but it would not be seen because parsing fails. This made BIRD attempt
to install the same route repeatedly.
(The patch minorly updated by committer)
