During NLRI parsing of IPv6 Flowspec, dst prefix was not properly
extracted from NLRI, therefore a received flow was stored in a different
position in flowspec routing table, and was not reachable by command
'show route <flow>'.
Add proper prefix part accessors to flowspec code and use them from BGP
NLRI parsing code.
Thanks to Alex D. for the bugreport.
Accept RTA_VIA attribute in all cases. The old code always used
RTA_GATEWAY for IPv4 / IPv6 and RTA_VIA for MPLS. The new code uses
RTA_VIA in cases where AF of network and AF of nexthop differs.
This is optional check described in RFC 4271. Although this can be also
done by filters, it is widely implemented option in BGP implementations.
Thanks to Eugene Bogomazov for the original patch.
We use constant promotion from IPv4 to Router-ID values, as they have
same literals. Instead of ad-hoc code in filter instructions, add
constant promotion code to parse-time typecheck code.
Most expressions can be type-validated in parse time. It is not
strong enough to eliminate runtime checks, but at least one gets
errors immediately during reconfigure.
Transitive extended communities should be removed on external sessions,
the old code them in all cases.
Thanks to Jean-Daniel Pauget for the original patch.
Names read from texfiles in /etc/iproute2/* are normalized by replacing
non-alphanumeric chars with underscore. The patch fixes handling of
uppercase letters, which were handled as non-alphanumberic.
Thanks to Igor Gavrilov for the bugreport.
Change of some options requires route refresh, but when import table is
active, channel reload is done from it instead of doing full route
refresh. So in this case we request it internally.
Underlying (IGP) route may lead to PtP link, in this case it does not
need gateway. Which is different than direct route without gateway.
When recursive (BGP) route uses PtP route, it should not use recursive
next hop as immediate next hop, while for direct routes it should.
The C11 specification allows only sig_atomic_t and _Atomic variable
access. All other accesses to global variables are undefined behavior.
Using int was probably OK on x86 and x86_64; yet there were some reports
from other architectures (especially some MIPS) that in rare cases,
after issuing SIGHUP, BIRD did strange things.
The bfd_reconfigure_neighbors() returned after first reconfigured
neighbor instead of continuing with the next one.
Thanks to Winston Chen for the bugreport and a patch.
Function bodies were compared in post-parse time, yet the result was not
used and the functions were incorrectly considered the same as before.
Now the result is used to reload affected protocols.
There is an improper check for valid message size, which may lead to
stack overflow and buffer leaks to log when a large message is received.
Thanks to Daniel McCarney for bugreport and analysis.
Instead of having large stack buffer for max amount of AFI/SAFI pairs.
The old code is not correct w.r.t. extendeded option length, as more
AFI/SAFI pairs may fit into the capability option.
