[PtP over ethernet] New peer flag allows much more addressing flexibility
2006-12-12 Andrew J. Schorr <ajschorr@alumni.princeton.edu> * if.h: (struct connected) Add new ZEBRA_IFA_PEER flag indicating whether a peer address has been configured. Comment now shows the new interpretation of the destination addr: if ZEBRA_IFA_PEER is set, then it must contain the destination address, otherwise it may contain the broadcast address or be NULL. (CONNECTED_DEST_HOST,CONNECTED_POINTOPOINT_HOST) Remove obsolete macros that were specific to IPv4 and not fully general. (CONNECTED_PEER) New macro to check ZEBRA_IFA_PEER flag. (CONNECTED_PREFIX) New macro giving the prefix to insert into the RIB: if CONNECTED_PEER, then use the destination (peer) address, else use the address field. (CONNECTED_ID) New macro to come up with an identifying address for the struct connected. * if.c: (if_lookup_address, connected_lookup_address) Streamline logic with new CONNECTED_PREFIX macro. * prefix.h: (PREFIX_COPY_IPV4, PREFIX_COPY_IPV6) New macros for better performance than the general prefix_copy function. * zclient.c: (zebra_interface_address_read) For non-null destination addresses, set prefixlen to equal the address prefixlen. This is needed to get the new CONNECTED_PREFIX macro to work properly. * connected.c: (connected_up_ipv4, connected_down_ipv4, connected_up_ipv6, connected_down_ipv6) Simplify logic using the new CONNECTED_PREFIX macro. (connected_add_ipv4) Set prefixlen in destination addresses (required by the CONNECTED_PREFIX macro). Use CONNECTED_PEER macro instead of testing for IFF_POINTOPOINT. Delete invalid warning message. Warn about cases where the ZEBRA_IFA_PEER is set but no destination address has been supplied (and turn off the flag). (connected_add_ipv6) Add new flags argument so callers may set the ZEBRA_IFA_PEER flag. If peer/broadcast address satisfies IN6_IS_ADDR_UNSPECIFIED, then reject it with a warning. Set prefixlen in destination address so CONNECTED_PREFIX will work. * connected.h: (connected_add_ipv6) Add new flags argument so callers may set the ZEBRA_IFA_PEER flag. * interface.c: (connected_dump_vty) Use CONNECTED_PEER macro to decide whether the destination address is a peer or broadcast address (instead of checking IFF_BROADCAST and IFF_POINTOPOINT). * if_ioctl.c: (if_getaddrs) Instead of setting a peer address only when the IFF_POINTOPOINT is set, we now accept a peer address whenever it is available and not the same as the local address. Otherwise (no peer address assigned), we check for a broadcast address (regardless of the IFF_BROADCAST flag). And must now pass a flags value of ZEBRA_IFA_PEER to connected_add_ipv4 when a peer address is assigned. The same new logic is used with the IPv6 code as well (and we pass the new flags argument to connected_add_ipv6). (if_get_addr) Do not bother to check IFF_POINTOPOINT: just issue the SIOCGIFDSTADDR ioctl and see if we get back a peer address not matching the local address (and set the ZEBRA_IFA_PEER in that case). If there's no peer address, try to grab SIOCGIFBRDADDR regardless of whether IFF_BROADCAST is set. * if_ioctl_solaris.c: (if_get_addr) Just try the SIOCGLIFDSTADDR ioctl without bothering to check the IFF_POINTOPOINT flag. And if no peer address was found, just try the SIOCGLIFBRDADDR ioctl without checking the IFF_BROADCAST flag. Call connected_add_ipv4 and connected_add_ipv6 with appropriate flags. * if_proc.c: (ifaddr_proc_ipv6) Must pass new flags argument to connected_add_ipv6. * kernel_socket.c: (ifam_read) Must pass new flags argument to connected_add_ipv6. * rt_netlink.c: (netlink_interface_addr) Copy logic from iproute2 to determine local and possible peer address (so there's no longer a test for IFF_POINTOPOINT). Set ZEBRA_IFA_PEER flag appropriately. Pass new flags argument to connected_add_ipv6. (netlink_address) Test !CONNECTED_PEER instead of if_is_broadcast to determine whether the connected destination address is a broadcast address. * bgp_nexthop.c: (bgp_connected_add, bgp_connected_delete) Simplify logic by using new CONNECTED_PREFIX macro. * ospf_interface.c: (ospf_if_is_configured, ospf_if_lookup_by_prefix, ospf_if_lookup_recv_if) Simplify logic using new CONNECTED_PREFIX macro. * ospf_lsa.c: (lsa_link_ptop_set) Using the new CONNECTED_PREFIX macro, both options collapse into the same code. * ospf_snmp.c: (ospf_snmp_if_update) Simplify logic using new CONNECTED_ID macro. (ospf_snmp_is_if_have_addr) Simplify logic using new CONNECTED_PREFIX macro. * ospf_vty.c: (show_ip_ospf_interface_sub) Use new CONNECTED_PEER macro instead of testing the IFF_POINTOPOINT flag. * ospfd.c: (ospf_network_match_iface) Use new CONNECTED_PEER macro instead of testing with if_is_pointopoint. And add commented-out code to implement alternative (in my opinion) more elegant behavior that has no special-case treatment for PtP addresses. (ospf_network_run) Use new CONNECTED_ID macro to simplify logic. * rip_interface.c: (rip_interface_multicast_set) Use new CONNECTED_ID macro to simplify logic. (rip_request_interface_send) Fix minor bug: ipv4_broadcast_addr does not give a useful result if prefixlen is 32 (we require a peer address in such cases). * ripd.c: (rip_update_interface) Fix same bug as above.
