There is no real need for storing bucket attributes locally and we may
save some memory by caching the attributes in one central place.
If this becomes a contention problem, we should reduce the lock load
of the central attribute cache.
Introducing a new omnipotent internal API to just pass route updates
from whatever point wherever we want.
From now on, all the exports should be processed by RT_WALK_EXPORTS
macro, and you can also issue a separate feed-only request to just get a
feed and finish.
The exporters can now also stop and the readers must expect that to
happen and recover. Main tables don't stop, though.
To avoid needs for keeping local temporary references for attributes,
now one can use ea_lookup_tmp() to ensure that the attributes are
valid and stored until the task ends. After that, the attributes are
automatically unref'd and also deallocated if needed.
If cork occurred after some incoming data had been already processed,
BGP incorrectly processed them again after uncorking because it forgot
to store the actual socket state.
Now storing the socket state (done at the end of bgp_rx()) and
therefore the bug is fixed.
Increase max length of notification data in error logs from 16 to 128.
There is already enough space in the buffer.
Thanks to Marco d'Itri for the suggestion.
Implement BGP Send hold timer according to draft-ietf-idr-bgp-sendholdtimer.
The Send hold timer drops the session if the neighbor is sending keepalives,
but does not receive our messages, causing the TCP connection to stall.
Some BGP capabilities change the BGP behavior in a significant way, so if
the configuration depends on it, it is better to not establish BGP
session when the capability is not available.
Add several BGP option to require individual BGP capabilities during
session negotiation.
Some [redacted] (yes, myself) had a really bad idea
to rename nest/route.h to nest/rt.h while refactoring
some data structures out of it.
This led to unnecessarily complex problems with
merging updates from v2. Reverting this change
to make my life a bit easier.
At least it needed only one find-sed command:
find -name '*.[chlY]' -type f -exec sed -i 's#nest/rt.h#nest/route.h#' '{}' +
When MPLS is active, received routes on MPLS-aware SAFIs (ipvX-mpls,
vpnX-mpls) are automatically labeled according to active label policy and
corresponding MPLS routes are automatically generated. Also routes sent
on MPLS-aware SAFIs announce local labels when it should be done.
If the protocol supports route refresh on export, we keep the stop-start
method of route refeed. This applies for BGP with ERR or with export
table on, for OSPF, Babel, RIP or Pipe.
For BGP without ERR or for future selective ROA reloads, we're adding an
auxiliary export request, doing the refeed while the main export request
is running, somehow resembling the original method of BIRD 2 refeed.
There is also a refeed request queue to keep track of different refeed
requests.
In general, private_id is sparse and protocols may want to map some
internal values directly into it. For example, L3VPN needs to
map VPN route discriminators to private_id.
OTOH, u32 is enough for global_id, as these identifiers are dense.
Despite not having defined 'master interface', VRF interfaces should be
treated as being inside respective VRFs. They behave as a loopback for
respective VRFs. Treating the VRF interface as inside the VRF allows
e.g. OSPF to pick up IP addresses defined on the VRF interface.
For this, we also need to tell apart VRF interfaces and regular interfaces.
Extend Netlink code to parse interface type and mark VRF interfaces with
IF_VRF flag.
Based on the patch from Erin Shepherd, thanks!
Move all bmp_peer_down() calls to one place and make it synchronous with
BGP session down, ensuring that BMP receives peer_down before route
withdraws from flushing.
Also refactor bmp_peer_down_() message generating code.
Add internal BMP functions with plicit bmp_proto *p as first argument,
which allows using TRACE() macro. Keep list of BMP instances and call
internal functions. Old BMP functions are wrappers that call internal
functions for all enabled BMP instances.
Extract End-of-RIB mark into separate function.
Based on patch from Michal Zagorski <mzagorsk@akamai.com>. Thanks!
Fix issue with missing AF cap (e.g. IPv4 unicast when no capabilities
are announced).
Add Linpool save/restore action similar to bgp_create_update().
Based on patch from Michal Zagorski <mzagorsk@akamai.com> co-authored
with Pawel Maslanka <pmaslank@akamai.com>. Thanks!
When an OPEN message without capability options was parsed, the remote
role field was not initialized with the proper (non-zero) default value,
so it was interpreted as if 'provider' was announced.
Thanks to Mikhail Grishin for the bugreport.
The BMP protocol needs OPEN messages of established BGP sessions to
construct appropriate Peer Up messages. Instead of saving them internally
we use OPEN messages stored in BGP instances. This allows BMP instances
to be restarted or enabled later.
Because of this change, we can simplify BMP data structures. No need to
keep track of BGP sessions when we are not started. We have to iterate
over all (established) BGP sessions when the BMP session is established.
This is just a scaffolding now, but some kind of iteration would be
necessary anyway.
Also, the commit cleans up handling of msg/msg_length arguments to be
body/body_length consistently in both rx/tx and peer_up/peer_down calls.
