bgpd: support for Ethernet Segments and Type-1/EAD routes
This is the base patch that brings in support for Type-1 routes.
It includes support for -
- Ethernet Segment (ES) management
- EAD route handling
- MAC-IP (Type-2) routes with a non-zero ESI i.e. Aliasing for
active-active multihoming
- Initial infra for consistency checking. Consistency checking
is a fundamental feature for active-active solutions like MLAG.
We will try to levarage the info in the EAD-ES/EAD-EVI routes to
detect inconsitencies in access config across VTEPs attached to
the same Ethernet Segment.
Functionality Overview -
========================
1. Ethernet segments are created in zebra and associated with
access VLANs. zebra sends that info as ES and ES-EVI objects to BGP.
2. BGP advertises EAD-ES and EAD-EVI routes for the locally attached
ethernet segments.
3. Similarly BGP processes EAD-ES and EAD-EVI routes from peers
and translates them into ES-VTEP objects which are then sent to zebra
as remote ESs.
4. Each ES in zebra is associated with a list of active VTEPs which
is then translated into a L2-NHG (nexthop group). This is the ES
"Alias" entry
5. MAC-IP routes with a non-zero ESI use the alias entry created in
(4.) to forward traffic i.e. a MAC-ECMP is done to these remote-ES
destinations.
EAD route management (route table and key) -
============================================
1. Local EAD-ES routes
a. route-table: per-ES route-table
key: {RD=ES-RD, ESI, ET=0xffffffff, VTEP-IP)
b. route-table: per-VNI route-table
Not added
c. route-table: global route-table
key: {RD=ES-RD, ESI, ET=0xffffffff)
2. Remote EAD-ES routes
a. route-table: per-ES route-table
Not added
b. route-table: per-VNI route-table
key: {RD=ES-RD, ESI, ET=0xffffffff, VTEP-IP)
c. route-table: global route-table
key: {RD=ES-RD, ESI, ET=0xffffffff)
3. Local EAD-EVI routes
a. route-table: per-ES route-table
Not added
b. route-table: per-VNI route-table
key: {RD=0, ESI, ET=0, VTEP-IP)
c. route-table: global route-table
key: {RD=L2-VNI-RD, ESI, ET=0)
4. Remote EAD-EVI routes
a. route-table: per-ES route-table
Not added
b. route-table: per-VNI route-table
key: {RD=0, ESI, ET=0, VTEP-IP)
c. route-table: global route-table
key: {RD=L2-VNI-RD, ESI, ET=0)
Please refer to bgp_evpn_mh.h for info on how the data-structures are
organized.
1. EAD routes require support for ESI_LABEL extended community. The
primary info in this EC is a flags the specifies if the ES is
Single-active or active-acive.
2. Also fixed up ES_IMPORT_RT string. Support was added a long time
ago for ESR/Type-4 routes but it has not really been exercised for
MH functionality till now.
In the global evpn routing table RD is part of the key. However in the
per-VNI routing table the key doesn't include the RD and we need more
than the ESI to distinguish between EAD routes from different VTEPs
attached to the same Ethernet Segment.
This commit also includes other definitions needed for managing an
ESI.
lib: allow listnode memory to be managed by the app
In most cases this memory is pre-allocated along with the base element.
Similarly it is stored in the base element to allow efficient del
without lookup (main reason for using DLL vs. SLL).
So (in most cases) there should be no need to manage the element/data
and listnode memories separately.
New macros have been added for the following -
1. to efficiently iterate and execute functions on already set bits
2. to check if a bit is in use
3. to check if a bitfield has been initialized (this is to safetly
handle cases where the bitfield is freed and re-allocated).
4. to check if two bitfields have the same bits set

vtysh: Speed up output of configuration across daemons
With a config that contains a large number of prefix-lists a 'show run' command
was an expensive operation:
sharpd@eva ~/frr_internal2 ((cl4.1.0))> time vtysh -c "show run" | grep ACTIVE | wc -l
32397
________________________________________________________
Executed in 14.53 secs fish external
usr time 14.45 secs 591.00 micros 14.45 secs
sys time 0.03 secs 189.00 micros 0.03 secs
sharpd@eva ~/frr_internal2 ((cl4.1.0))>
Effectively we are keeping a linked list of data to store the configuration.
When we received a new item we would look in the list to see if it already
does, by doing a string search across each element in the list.
Add to the master configuration a hash of items for O(1) lookup.
Keep the list for order so we don't mangle that up.
New time:
sharpd@eva ~/frr_internal1 (dev)> time vtysh -c "show run" | grep ACTIVE | wc -l
32397

lib: introduce configuration back-off timer for YANG-modeled commands
When using the default CLI mode, the northbound layer needs to create
a separate transaction to process each YANG-modeled command since
they are supposed to be applied immediately (there's no candidate
configuration nor the "commit" command like in the transactional
CLI). The problem is that configuration transactions have an overhead
associated to them, in big part because of the use of some heavy
libyang functions like `lyd_validate()` and `lyd_diff()`. As of
now this overhead is substantial and doesn't scale well when large
numbers of transactions need to be performed in sequence.
As an example, loading 50k prefix-lists using a single transaction
takes about 2 seconds on a modern CPU. Loading the same 50k
prefix-lists using 50k transactions can take more than an hour
to complete (which is unacceptable by any standard). To fix this
problem, some heavy optimization work needs to be done on libyang and
on the FRR northbound itself too (e.g. perform partial configuration
diffs whenever possible). This, however, should be a long term
effort since these optimizations shouldn't be trivial to implement
and we're far from having the performance numbers we need.
In the meanwhile, this commit introduces a simple but efficient
workaround to alleviate the issue. In short, a new back-off timer
was introduced in the CLI to monitor and detect when too many
YANG-modeled commands are being received at the same time. When
a certain threshold is reached (100 YANG-modeled commands within
one second), the northbound starts to group all subsequent commands
into a single large transaction, which allows them to be processed
much faster (e.g. seconds and not hours). It's essentially a
protection mechanism that creates dynamically-sized transactions
when necessary to prevent performance issues from happening. This
mechanism is enabled both when parsing configuration files and when
reading commands from a terminal.
The downside of this optimization is that, if several YANG-modeled
commands are grouped into the same transaction and at least one of
them fails, the whole transaction is rejected. This is undesirable
since users don't expect transactional behavior when that's not
enabled explicitly. To minimize this issue, the CLI will log all
commands that were rejected whenever that happens, to make the
user aware of what happened and have enough information to fix
the problem. Commands that fail due to parsing errors or CLI-level
validations in general are rejected separately.
Again, this proposed workaround is intended to be temporary. The
goal is to provided a quick fix to issues like #6658 while we work
on better long-term solutions.
DEFPY_YANG will allow the CLI to identify which commands are
YANG-modeled or not before executing them. This is going to be
useful for the upcoming configuration back-off timer work that
needs to commit pending configuration changes before executing a
command that isn't YANG-modeled.

The `INET_ADDRSTRLEN` is 16 and is only enough to format an IPv4 address.
So when there is a prefix (`/xx`), the debug output may get truncated.
Use `PREFIX2STR_BUFFER` macro instead to fix the issue.

tools: do not silently ignore errors when loading config during startup
Drop the `-n` (`--noerror`) flag from the `vtysh -b` invocation called by the
init script responsible for starting FRR. This ensures that errors in the
configuration file is propagated to the administrator, and prevents a node from
entering a production network while running an essentially undefined
configuration (a behaviour that I can personally attest to has the potential to
cause disastrous network outages - documented in more detail in Cumulus
Networks CS#12791).
Silently ignoring errors also leads to the rather odd behaviour that starting
FRR will ostensibly succeed, while reloading it immediately after - without
changing the configuration - will fail. This is due to the fact that the `-n`
flag is not used while reloading.
The use of the `-n` flag appears to have been introduced without any
explanation in commit 858aa29c6862ed2390baee53b6fc9f54e65246e2 by @donaldsharp.
Looking at the commit message, I suspect that it was not an intentional change.
It seems more likely to me that it was just meant to be used during testing and
development, but ended up being committed to master by accident.
