lib: take into account the iff_lower_up flag
In Linux, a network driver can set the interface flags IFF_UP and IFF_RUNNING although the IFF_LOWER_UP flag is down, which means the interface is ready but the carrier is down: > These values contain interface state: > > ifinfomsg::if_flags & IFF_UP: > Interface is admin up > ifinfomsg::if_flags & IFF_RUNNING: > Interface is in RFC2863 operational state UP or UNKNOWN. This is for > backward compatibility, routing daemons, dhcp clients can use this > flag to determine whether they should use the interface. > ifinfomsg::if_flags & IFF_LOWER_UP: > Driver has signaled netif_carrier_on() However, FRR considers an interface is operational as soon it is up (IFF_UP) and running (IFF_RUNNING), disregarding the IFF_LOWER_UP flag. This can lead to a scenario where FRR starts adding routes through an interface that is technically down at the carrier level, resulting in kernel errors. > Jan 02 18:07:18 dut-vm zebra[283731]: [WVJCK-PPMGD][EC 4043309093] netlink-dp (NS 0) error: Network is down, type=RTM_NEWNEXTHOP(104), seq=243, pid=3112881162 > Jan 02 18:07:18 dut-vm zebra[283731]: [X5XE1-RS0SW][EC 4043309074] Failed to install Nexthop (318[if 164]) into the kernel > Jan 02 18:07:18 dut-vm zebra[283731]: [HSYZM-HV7HF] Extended Error: Carrier for nexthop device is down > Jan 02 18:07:18 dut-vm zebra[283731]: [WVJCK-PPMGD][EC 4043309093] netlink-dp (NS 0) error: Network is down, type=RTM_NEWNEXTHOP(104), seq=245, pid=3112881162 > Jan 02 18:07:18 dut-vm zebra[283731]: [HSYZM-HV7HF] Extended Error: Nexthop id does not exist > Jan 02 18:07:18 dut-vm zebra[283731]: [WVJCK-PPMGD][EC 4043309093] netlink-dp (NS 0) error: Invalid argument, type=RTM_NEWROUTE(24), seq=246, pid=3112881162 > Jan 02 18:07:18 dut-vm zebra[283731]: [X5XE1-RS0SW][EC 4043309074] Failed to install Nexthop (320[10.125.0.2 if 164]) into the kernel > Jan 02 18:07:18 dut-vm zebra[283731]: [VYKYC-709DP] default(0:254):0.0.0.0/0: Route install failed Consider an interface is operational when it has the IFF_UP, IFF_RUNNING and IFF_LOWER_UP flags.
