Which was, actually, a bug in timers - on older kernel, monotonic timer
is missing and the other implementation started with now == 0, which
collides with usage 0 as a special value in timer->expires field.
- Adds check to deny config file with no specified protocol to prevent
loading of empty config file.
- Moves CLI init before config parse to receive immediate error message
when cannot open control socket.
- Fixes socket name path check and other error handling in CLI init.
- 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
There is no reak callback scheduler and previous behavior causes
bad things during hard congestion (like BGP hold timeouts).
Smart callback scheduler is still missing, but main loop was
changed such that it first processes all tx callbacks (which
are fast enough) (but max 4* per socket) + rx callbacks for CLI,
and in the second phase it processes one rx callback per
socket up to four sockets (as rx callback can be slow when
there are too many protocols, because route redistribution
is done synchronously inside rx callback). If there is event
callback ready, second phase is skipped in 90% of iterations
(to speed up CLI during congestion).
This also fixes bug that timer->recurrent was not cleared
in tm_new() and unexpected recurrence of startup timer
in BGP confused state machine and caused crash.
If other side of a socket is sending data faster than
BIRD is processing, BIRD does not schedule any other
callbacks (events, timers, rx/tx callbacks).
Also, removed the `if (s)' test, because I believe that as the whole
socket interface doesn't accent NULL pointers, sk_reallocate() shouldn't
be the only exception.
you can delete the socket from anywhere in the hooks and nothing should break.
Also, the receive/transmit buffers are now regular xmalloc()'ed buffers,
not separate resources which would need shuffling around between pools.
sk_close() is gone, use rfree() instead.
Please try compiling your code with --enable-warnings to see them. (The
unused parameter warnings are usually bogus, the unused variable ones
are very useful, but gcc is unable to control them separately.)
multicast abilities depending on definedness of symbols and use hard-wired
system-dependent configuration defines instead.
Please test whereever you can.
but the core routines are there and seem to be working.
o lib/ipv6.[ch] written
o Lexical analyser recognizes IPv6 addresses and when in IPv6
mode, treats pure IPv4 addresses as router IDs.
o Router ID must be configured manually on IPv6 systems.
o Added SCOPE_ORGANIZATION for org-scoped IPv6 multicasts.
o Fixed few places where ipa_(hton|ntoh) was called as a function
returning converted address.
addresses per interface (needed for example for IPv6 support).
Visible changes:
o struct iface now contains a list of all interface addresses (represented
by struct ifa), iface->addr points to the primary address (if any).
o Interface has IF_UP set iff it's up and it has a primary address.
o IF_UP is now independent on IF_IGNORED (i.e., you need to test IF_IGNORED
in the protocols; I've added this, but please check).
o The if_notify_change hook has been simplified (only one interface pointer
etc.).
o Introduced a ifa_notify_change hook. (For now, only the Direct protocol
does use it -- it's wise to just listen to device routes in all other
protocols.)
o Removed IF_CHANGE_FLAGS notifier flag (it was meaningless anyway).
o Updated all the code except netlink (I'll look at it tomorrow) to match
the new semantics (please look at your code to ensure I did it right).
Things to fix:
o Netlink.
o Make krt-iface interpret "eth0:1"-type aliases as secondary addresses.
