There is no reak callback scheduler and previous behavior causes
bad things during hard congestion (like BGP hold timeouts).
Smart callback scheduler is still missing, but main loop was
changed such that it first processes all tx callbacks (which
are fast enough) (but max 4* per socket) + rx callbacks for CLI,
and in the second phase it processes one rx callback per
socket up to four sockets (as rx callback can be slow when
there are too many protocols, because route redistribution
is done synchronously inside rx callback). If there is event
callback ready, second phase is skipped in 90% of iterations
(to speed up CLI during congestion).
This also fixes bug that timer->recurrent was not cleared
in tm_new() and unexpected recurrence of startup timer
in BGP confused state machine and caused crash.
If other side of a socket is sending data faster than
BIRD is processing, BIRD does not schedule any other
callbacks (events, timers, rx/tx callbacks).
KRF_INSTALLED flag was not cleared during reconfiguration
that lead to not removing routes during reconfigure when
export rules changed.
We also should not try to remove routes we didi not installed,
on Linux this leads to warnings (as kernel checks route source
field and do not allow to remove non-bird routes) but we should
not rely on it.
Here is a patch fixing a bug that causes breakage of a local routing
table during shutdown of Bird. The problem was caused by shutdown
of 'device' protocol before shutdown of 'kernel' protocol. When
'device' protocol went down, the route (with local network prefix)
From different protocol (BGP or OSPF) became preferred and installed
to the kernel routing table. Such routes were broken (like
192.168.1.0/24 via 192.168.1.2). I think it is also the cause
of problem reported by Martin Kraus.
The patch disables updating of kernel routing table during shutdown of
Bird. I am not sure whether this is the best way to fix it, I would
prefer to forbid 'kernel' protocol to overwrite routes with
'proto kernel'.
The patch also fixes a problem that during shutdown sometimes routes
created by Bird remained in the kernel routing table.
Also, removed the `if (s)' test, because I believe that as the whole
socket interface doesn't accent NULL pointers, sk_reallocate() shouldn't
be the only exception.
you can delete the socket from anywhere in the hooks and nothing should break.
Also, the receive/transmit buffers are now regular xmalloc()'ed buffers,
not separate resources which would need shuffling around between pools.
sk_close() is gone, use rfree() instead.
