Under specific circumstances there might be two mixed-up
netlink sessions (one for scan, the other for route change
request). This patch separates netlink scans and requests
to two fds (and seq counters).
This should fix http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=428865
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.
Bird sometimes reported 'bird: nl_parse_link: Malformed message received'.
The cause is that bird asynchronously received netlink packet from
wireless driver about some wireless event on its link layer. In that
case bird shouldn't complain.
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.
