addresses per interface (needed for example for IPv6 support).
Visible changes:
o struct iface now contains a list of all interface addresses (represented
by struct ifa), iface->addr points to the primary address (if any).
o Interface has IF_UP set iff it's up and it has a primary address.
o IF_UP is now independent on IF_IGNORED (i.e., you need to test IF_IGNORED
in the protocols; I've added this, but please check).
o The if_notify_change hook has been simplified (only one interface pointer
etc.).
o Introduced a ifa_notify_change hook. (For now, only the Direct protocol
does use it -- it's wise to just listen to device routes in all other
protocols.)
o Removed IF_CHANGE_FLAGS notifier flag (it was meaningless anyway).
o Updated all the code except netlink (I'll look at it tomorrow) to match
the new semantics (please look at your code to ensure I did it right).
Things to fix:
o Netlink.
o Make krt-iface interpret "eth0:1"-type aliases as secondary addresses.

o Introduced rte_cow() which should be used for copying on write the
rte's in filters. Each rte now carries a flag saying whether it's
a real route (possessing table linkage and other insignia) or a local
copy. This function can be expected to be fast since its fast-path
is inlined.
o Introduced rte_update_pool which is a linear memory pool used for
all temporary data during rte_update. You should not reference it directly
-- instead use a pool pointer passed to all related functions.
o Split rte_update to three functions:
rte_update The front end: handles all checking, inbound
filtering and calls rte_recalculate() for the
final version of the route.
rte_recalculate Update the table according to already filtered route.
rte_announce Announce routing table changes to all protocols,
passing them through export filters and so on.
The interface has _not_ changed -- still call rte_update() and it will
do the rest for you automagically.
o Use new filtering semantics to be explained in a separate mail.

version:
EXPORT <filter-spec> for outbound routes (i.e., those announced
by BIRD to the rest of the world).
IMPORT <filter-spec> for inbound routes (i.e., those imported
by BIRD from the rest of the world).
where <filter-spec> is one of:
ALL pass all routes
NONE drop all routes
FILTER <name> use named filter
FILTER { <filter> } use explicitly defined filter
For all protocols, the default is IMPORT ALL, EXPORT NONE. This includes
the kernel protocol, so that you need to add EXPORT ALL to get the previous
configuration of kernel syncer (as usually, see doc/bird.conf.example for
a bird.conf example :)).

o Now compatible with filtering.
o Learning of kernel routes supported only on CONFIG_SELF_CONSCIOUS
systems (on the others it's impossible to get it semantically correct).
o Learning now stores all of its routes in a separate fib and selects
the ones the kernel really uses for forwarding packets.
o Better treatment of CONFIG_AUTO_ROUTES ports.
o Lots of internal changes.

Please implement in all protocols.

whitespace/semicolon rules for whole config file:
o All non-zero amounts of whitespace are equivalent to single space
(aka `all the whitespace has been born equal' ;-)).
o Comments count as whitespace.
o Whitespace has no syntactic signifance (it can only separate lexical
elements).
o Consequence: line ends are no longer treated as `;'s.
o Every declaration must be terminated by an explicit `;' unless
or by a group enclosed in `{' and `}'.

i.e. struct proto now contains field 'table' pointing to routing table
the protocol is attached to. Use this instead of &master_table.
Modified all protocols except the kernel syncer to use this field.
|
|
o Nothing is configured automatically. You _need_ to specify
the kernel syncer in config file in order to get it started.
o Syncing has been split to route syncer (protocol "Kernel") and
interface syncer (protocol "Device"), device routes are generated
by protocol "Direct" (now can exist in multiple instances, so that
it will be possible to feed different device routes to different
routing tables once multiple tables get supported).
See doc/bird.conf.example for a living example of these shiny features.

default zero priority). No more "kernel syncer initialized before

o Introduced if_find_by_index()
o Recognizing two types of interface updates: full update (starting with
if_start_update(), ending with if_end_update(), guaranteed to see
all existing interfaces) and a partial update (only if_update(),
usually due to asynchronous interface notifications).
|
|
o Introduced IF_LINK_UP flag corresponding to real link state.
o Allowed addressless interfaces.
o IF_UP is now automatically calculated and set iff the interface
is administratively up, has link up and has an IP address assigned.
It may be IF_IGNORED, though (as in case of the loopback).
o Any changes which include up/down transition are considered small
enough to not provoke artificial upping and downing of the interface.
o When an interface disappears (i.e., it wasn't seen in the last scan),
we announce this change only once.
o IF_LOOPBACK implies IF_IGNORE.

not be affected since they use 'rta' directly.

nodes having no routes attached. Such cleanup must be done from event handler
since most functions manipulating the routing tables expect network entries
won't disappear from under their hands and it's also probably faster when
done asynchronously.

This is implemented in a way similar to lib/slists.h, but it took some
more effort to make rehashing not disturb the readers. We do it by just
taking _highest_ k bits of ipa_hash as our hash value and sorting each
box by whole ipa_hash().
Consult FIB_ITERATE_* macros in nest/route.h.
Implemented fib_check() debugging function and also rewrote the rehashing
algorithm to use better thresholds and not to waste time by rehashing
forth and back.

o rte can now contain a pointer to both cached and uncached rta. Protocols
which don't need their own attribute caching can now just fill-in a rta,
link it to rte without any calls to attribute cache and call rte_update()
which will replace rte->attrs by a cached copy.
o In order to support this, one of previously pad bytes in struct rta
now holds new attribute flags (RTAF_CACHED). If you call rte_update()
with uncached rta, you _must_ clear these flags. In other cases rta_lookup()
sets it appropriately.
o Added rte_free() which is useful when you construct a rte and then the
circumstances change and you decide not to use it for an update. (Needed
for temporary rte's in kernel syncer...)
