The interface pointer was improperly converted to u32 and back. Fixing
this by explicitly allocating an adata structure for it. It's not so
memory efficient, we'll optimize this later.
The prune loop may may rebuild the prefix trie and therefore invalidate
walk state for asynchronous walks (used in 'show route in' cmd). Fix it
by adding locking that keeps the old trie in memory until current walks
are done.
In future this could be improved by rebuilding trie walk states (by
lookup for last found prefix) after the prefix trie rebuild.
When rtable is pruned and network fib nodes are removed, we also need to
prune prefix trie. Unfortunately, rebuilding prefix trie takes long time
(got about 400 ms for 1M networks), so must not be atomic, we have to
rebuild a new trie while current one is still active. That may require
some considerable amount of temporary memory, so we do that only if
we expect significant trie size reduction.
Implement flowspec validation procedure as described in RFC 8955 sec. 6
and RFC 9117. The Validation procedure enforces that only routers in the
forwarding path for a network can originate flowspec rules for that
network.
The patch adds new mechanism for tracking inter-table dependencies, which
is necessary as the flowspec validation depends on IP routes, and flowspec
rules must be revalidated when best IP routes change.
The validation procedure is disabled by default and requires that
relevant IP table uses trie, as it uses interval queries for subnets.
Attach a prefix trie to IP/VPN/ROA tables. Use it for net_route() and
net_roa_check(). This leads to 3-5x speedups for IPv4 and 5-10x
speedup for IPv6 of these calls.
TODO:
- Rebuild the trie during rt_prune_table()
- Better way to avoid trie_add_prefix() in net_get() for existing tables
- Make it configurable (?)
Channels have now included rt_import_req and rt_export_req to hook into
the table instead of just one list node. This will (in future) allow for:
* channel import and export bound to different tables
* more efficient pipe code (dropping most of the channel code)
* conversion of 'show route' to a special kind of export
* temporary static routes from CLI
The import / export states are also updated to the new algorithms.
Routes are now allocated only when they are just to be inserted to the
table. Updating a route needs a locally allocated route structure.
Ownership of the attributes is also now not transfered from protocols to
tables and vice versa but just borrowed which should be easier to handle
in a multithreaded environment.
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.
The old code stored route verdicts and temporary routes directly in
rtable. The new code do not store received routes (it immediately
compares them with exported routes and resolves conflicts) and uses
internal bitmap to keep track of which routes were received and which
needs to be reinstalled.
By not putting 'invalid' temporary routes to rtable, we keep rtable
in consistent state, therefore scan no longer needs to be atomic
operation and could be splitted to multiple events.
Use a hierarchical bitmap in a routing table to assign ids to routes, and
then use bitmaps (indexed by route id) in channels to keep track whether
routes were exported. This avoids unreliable and inefficient re-evaluation
of filters for old routes in order to determine whether they were exported.
