Define scope for anonymous filters, and also explicitly distinguish block
scopes and function/filter scopes instead of using anonymous / named
distinction.
Anonymous filters forgot to push scope, so variables for them were in
fact defined in the top scope and therefore they shared a frame. This got
broken after rework of variables, which assumed that there is a named
scope for every function/filter.
There were more conflicts that I'd like to see, most notably in route
export. If a bisect identifies this commit with something related, it
may be simply true that this commit introduces that bug. Let's hope it
doesn't happen.
When f_line is done, we have to pop the stack frame. The old code just
removed nominal number of args/vars. Change it to use stored ventry value
modified by number of returned values. This allows to allocate variables
on a stack frame during execution of f_lines instead of just at start.
But we need to know the number of returned values for a f_line. It is 1
for term, 0 for cmd. Store that to f_line during linearization.
When writing flow4 { dst 2001:db8::dead:beef/128; }, BIRD crashed on an
not-well-debuggable segfault as it tried to copy the whole 128-bit
prefix into an IPv4-sized memory.
Use timer (configurable as 'gc period') to schedule routing table
GC/pruning to ensure that prune is done on time but not too often.
Randomize GC timers to avoid concentration of GC events from different
tables in one loop cycle.
Fix a bug that caused minimum inter-GC interval be 5 us instead of 5 s.
Make default 'gc period' adaptive based on number of routing tables,
from 10 s for small setups to 600 s for large ones.
In marge multi-table RS setup, the patch improved time of flushing
a downed peer from 20-30 min to <2 min and removed 40s latencies.
Some tokens are both keywords and symbols. For now, we allow only
specific keywords to be redefined; in future, more of the keywords may
be added to this category.
The redefinable keywords must be specified in any .Y file as follows:
toksym: THE_KEYWORD ;
See proto/bgp/config.Y for an example.
Also dropped a lot of unused terminals.
Changes in internal API:
* Every route attribute must be defined as struct ea_class somewhere.
* Registration of route attributes known at startup must be done by
ea_register_init() from protocol build functions.
* Every attribute has now its symbol registered in a global symbol table
defined as SYM_ATTRIBUTE
* All attribute ID's are dynamically allocated.
* Attribute value custom formatting hook is defined in the ea_class.
* Attribute names are the same for display and filters, always prefixed
by protocol name.
Also added some unit testing code for filters with route attributes.
Lexer expression for bytestring was too loose, accepting also
full-length IPv6 addresses. It should be restricted such that
colon is used between every byte or never.
Fix the regex and also add some test cases for it.
Thanks to Alexander Zubkov for the bugreport
BIRD implements shutdown by reconfiguring to fake empty configuration.
Such fake config structure is created from the last running config and
shares some data, including symbol table. This allows access to (removed)
routing tables and causes crash when 'show route' command is used during
shutdown.
Clean up symbol table, table list and links to default tables, so removed
routing tables cannot be accessed during shutdown.
Add support for specifying a password in hexadecimal format, The result
is the same whether a password is specified as a quoted string or a
hex-encoded byte string, this just makes it more convenient to input
high-entropy byte strings as MAC keys.
Add a wrapper function in sysdep to get random bytes, and required checks
in configure.ac to select how to do it. The configure script tries, in
order, getrandom(), getentropy() and reading from /dev/urandom.
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.
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.
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.
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).
When 'graceful down' command is entered, protocols are shut down
with regard to graceful restart. Namely Kernel protocol does
not remove routes and BGP protocol does not send notification,
just closes the connection.
Support for dynamically spawning BGP protocols for incoming connections.
Use 'neighbor range' to specify range of valid neighbor addresses, then
incoming connections from these addresses spawn new BGP instances.
This is a major change of how the filters are interpreted. If everything
works how it should, it should not affect you unless you are hacking the
filters themselves.
Anyway, this change should make a huge improvement in the filter performance
as previous benchmarks showed that our major problem lies in the
recursion itself.
There are also some changes in nest and protocols, related mostly to
spreading const declarations throughout the whole BIRD and also to
refactored dynamic attribute definitions. The need of these came up
during the whole work and it is too difficult to split out these
not-so-related changes.
For local route marking purposes, local custom route attributes may be
defined. These attributes are seamlessly stripped after export filter to
every real protocol like Kernel, BGP or OSPF, they however pass through
pipes. We currently allow at most 256 custom attributes.
This should be much faster than currently used bgp communities
for marking routes.
The new MRT protocol is responsible for periodic RIB table dumps in the
MRT format (RFC 6396). Also the existing code for BGP4MP MRT dumps is
refactored and splitted between BGP to MRT protocols, will be more
integrated into MRT in the future.
Example:
protocol mrt {
table "*";
filename "%N_%F_%T.mrt";
period 60;
}
It is partially based on the old MRT code from Pavel Tvrdik.
This also includes Bison version check. Versions before 3.0 don't
support them in a reliable way and we don't promise to work with
versions older than 2.4.
The two-letter instructions were quite messy but they could be easily
read from memory dumps. Now GDB (since 2012) supports pretty printing
enum values and GCC checks the switch construction for missing enum
values so we are converting the nice two-byte values to enums.
Anyway, the enum still keeps the old two-byte values to be able to read
the instruction codes even without GDB from plain memory dump.
This patch adds support for source-specific IPv6 routes to BIRD core.
This is based on Dean Luga's original patch, with the review comments
addressed. SADR support is added to network address parsing in confbase.Y
and to the kernel protocol on Linux.
Currently there is no way to mix source-specific and non-source-specific
routes (i.e., SADR tables cannot be connected to non-SADR tables).
Thanks to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for the original patch.
Minor changes by Ondrej Santiago Zajicek.
The old timer interface is still kept, but implemented by new timers. The
plan is to switch from the old inteface to the new interface, then clean
it up.
The old hash table had fixed size, which makes it slow for config files
with large number of symbols and symbol lookups. The new one is growing
according to needs.
From now on, protocol static accepts VPN4 and VPN6 addressess.
With some concerns about VPN6 Route Distinguishers, I finally chose
to have the same format as for VPN4 (where it is defined by RFC 4364).
Anyway, Bird is now capable to insert both MPLS routes and MPLS encap
routes into kernel.
It was (among others) needed to define platform-specific AF_MPLS to 28
as this constant has been assigned in the linux kernel.
No support for BSD now, it may be added in the future.
- Unit Testing Framework (BirdTest)
- Integration of BirdTest into the BIRD build system
- Tests for several BIRD modules
Based on squashed Pavel Tvrdik's int-test branch, updated for
current int-new branch.
Also removed the lib-dir merging with sysdep. Updated #include's
accordingly.
Fixed make doc on recent Debian together with moving generated doc into
objdir.
Moved Makefile.in into root dir
Retired all.o and birdlib.a
Linking the final binaries directly from all the .o files.
The patch adds support for channels, structures connecting protocols and
tables and handling most interactions between them. The documentation is
missing yet.
Example:
protocol static
{
route 10.110.0.0/16 max 16 as 1000 blackhole;
route 10.120.0.0/16 max 24 as 1000 blackhole;
route 10.130.0.0/16 max 24 as 2000 blackhole;
route 10.130.128.0/18 max 24 as 3000 blackhole;
...
}
Explicit setting of AF_INET(6|) in IP socket creation. BFD set to listen
on v6, without setting the V6ONLY flag to catch both v4 and v6 traffic.
Squashing and minor changes by Ondrej Santiago Zajicek
Symbol lookup by cf_find_symbol() not only did the lookup but also added
new void symbols allocated from cfg_mem linpool, which gets broken when
lookups are done outside of config parsing, which may lead to crashes
during reconfiguration.
The patch separates lookup-only cf_find_symbol() and config-modifying
cf_get_symbol(), while the later is called only during parsing. Also
new_config and cfg_mem global variables are NULLed outside of parsing.
New data types net_addr and variants (in lib/net.h) describing
network addresses (prefix/pxlen). Modifications of FIB structures
to handle these data types and changing everything to use these
data types instead of prefix/pxlen pairs where possible.
The commit is WiP, some protocols are not yet updated (BGP, Kernel),
and the code contains some temporary scaffolding.
Comments are welcome.
