Alignment of slabs should be at least sizeof(ptr) to avoid unaligned
pointers in slab structures. Fixme: Use proper way to choose alignment
for internal allocators.

After switching to 16-way tries, trie format ignored unaligned / internal
prefixes and only reported the primary prefix of a trie node.

Fix trie format by showing internal prefixes based on the 'local' bitmask
of a node. Also do basic (intra-node) reconstruction of prefix patterns
by finding common subtrees in 'local' bitmask.

In future, we could improve that by doing inter-node reconstruction, so
prefixes entered as one pattern for a subtree (e.g. 192.168.0.0/18+)
would be reported as such, like with aligned prefixes.

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.

Add counter of prefixes stored in trie. Works only for 'restricted' tries
composed of explicit prefixes (pxlen == l == h), like ones used in rtables.

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.

Allow to specify sorted flag, trie fla, and min/max settle time.

Also do not enable trie by default, it must be explicitly enabled.

When output of 'show route' command was generated, the net_format() was
called for each network prematurely, even if the result was not needed.

Fix the code to call net_format() only when needed. This makes queries
that process many networks but show only few (e.g. 'show route where ..',
or 'show route count') much faster (like 5x - 10x faster).

Add trie iteration code to rt_show_cont() CLI hook and use it to
accelerate 'show route in <addr>' commands using interval queries.

Implement 'show route in <addr>' command, which shows all routes in
networks that are subnets of given network. Currently limited to IP
network types.

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 (?)

One of previous commits added error logging of invalid routes. This
also inadvertently caused error logging of route loops, which should
be ignored silently. Fix that.

Most error messages in attribute processing are in rx/decode step and
these use L_REMOTE log class. But there are few that are in tx/export
step and these should use L_ERR log class.

Use tx-specific macro (REJECT()) in tx/export code and rename field
err_withdraw to err_reject in struct bgp_export_state to ensure that
appropriate error reporting macros are called in proper contexts.

Distinguish multiple causes of 'invalid next hop' message and report
the relevant next hop address.

Thanks to Simon Ruderich for the original patch.

Typical BGP error handling is treat-as-withdraw, where an invalid route
is replaced with a withdraw. Log route network when it happens.

Add option 'netlink rx buffer' to specify netlink socket receive buffer

Unfortunately, SOL_NETLINK is both recently added and arch-dependent,
so we cannot just define it.

Add strict checking for netlink KRT dumps to avoid PMTU cache records
from FNHE table dump along with KRT.

Linux Kernel added FNHE table dump to the netlink API in patch:

https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/patch/8d3b68cd37fb5fddc470904cdd6793fcf480c6c1.1561131177.git.sbrivio@redhat.com/

Therefore, since Linux 5.3 these route cache entries are dumped together
with regular routes during periodic KRT scans, which in some cases may be
huge amount of useless data. This can be avoided by using strict checking
for netlink dumps:

https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20181008031644.15989-1-dsahern@kernel.org/

The patch mitigates the risk of receiving unknown and potentially large
number of FNHE records that would block BIRD I/O in each sync. There is a
known issue caused by the GRE tunnels on Linux that seems to be creating
one FNHE record for each destination IP address that is routed through
the tunnel, even when the PMTU equals to GRE interface MTU.

Thanks to Tomas Hlavacek for the original patch.

Kernel uses cloned routes to keep route cache entries, but reports them
together with regular routes. They were skipped implicitly as they
do not have rtm_protocol filled. Add explicit check for cloned flag
and skip such routes explicitly.

Also, improve debug logs of skipped routes.

The BGP 'free bind' option applies the IP_FREEBIND/IPV6_FREEBIND
socket option for the BGP listening socket.

Thanks to Alexander Zubkov for the idea.

Alexander Zubkov authored 3 years ago and Ondřej Zajíček committed 3 years ago

Add option to socket interface for nonlocal binding, i.e. binding to an
IP address that is not present on interfaces. This behaviour is enabled
when SKF_FREEBIND socket flag is set. For Linux systems, it is
implemented by IP_FREEBIND socket flag.

Currently, BIRD ignores dead routes to consider them absent. But it also
ignores its own routes and thus it can not correctly manage such routes
in some cases. This patch makes an exception for routes with proto bird
when ignoring dead routes, so they can be properly updated or removed.

Thanks to Alexander Zubkov for the original patch.

Function nl_parse_multipath() should handle errors internally.

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.

Add operators that can be used to pick components from
pair (standard community) or lc (large community) types.
For example:

(10, 20).asn --> 10
(10, 20).data --> 20

(10, 20, 30).asn --> 10
(10, 20, 30).data1 --> 20
(10, 20, 30).data2 --> 30

The BSD kernel does not support the onlink flag and BIRD does not use
direct routes for next hop validation, instead depends on interface
address ranges. We would like to handle PtMP cases with only host
addresses configured, like:

  ifconfig wg0 192.168.0.10/32
  route add 192.168.0.4 -iface wg0
  route add 192.168.0.8 -iface wg0

To accept BIRD routes with onlink next-hop, like:

  route 192.168.42.0/24 via 192.168.0.4%wg0 onlink

BIRD would dismiss the route when receiving from the kernel, as the
next-hop 192.168.0.4 is not part of any interface subnet and onlink
flag is not kept by the BSD kernel.

The commit fixes this by assuming that for routes received from the
kernel, any next-hop is onlink on ifaces with only host addresses.

Thanks to Stefan Haller for the original patch.

RFC 6810 and RFC 8210 specify that the "Max Length" value MUST NOT be
less than the Prefix Length element (underflow). On the other side,
overflow of the Max Length element also is possible, it being an 8-bit
unsigned integer allows for values larger than 32 or 128. This also
implicitly ensures there is no overflow of "Length" value.

When a PDU is received where the Max Length field is corrputed, the RTR
client (BIRD) should immediately terminate the session, flush all data
learned from that cache, and log an error for the operator.

The option was removed in d15b0b0a ("BGP redesign", 2016-12-07)
but the documentation wasn't updated.

Compare all IA_* flags that are set by sysdep iface code.

The old code ignores IA_SECONDARY flag when comparing whether iface
address updates from kernel changed anything. This is usually not an
issue as kernel removes all secondary addresses due to removal of the
primary one, but it breaks when sysctl 'promote_secondaries' is enabled
and kernel promotes secondary addresses to primary ones.

Thanks to 'Alexander' for the bugreport.

For convenience, Trie functions generally accept as input values not only
NET_IPx types of nets, but also NET_VPNx and NET_ROAx types. But returned
values are always NET_IPx types.
