2021-07-02misc: Don't IPv[46] enable local0, it doesn't receive packets.Neale Ranns1-5/+0
Type: improvement local0 exists just to burn sw_if_index=0 so we catch common API errors. Signed-off-by: Neale Ranns <neale@graphiant.com> Change-Id: I2901bb7d36d4c512e6698134a807bf9516ee05db
2019-05-17Add a debug-CLI leak-checkerDave Barach1-1/+0
leak-check { <any-debug-cli-command-and-args> } Hint: "set term history off" or you'll have to sort through a bunch of bogus leaks related to the debug cli history mechanism. Cleaned up a set of reported leaks in the "show interface" command. At some point, we thought about making a per-thread vlib_mains vector, but we never did that. Several interface-related CLI's maintained local static cache vectors. Not a bad idea, but not useful as things shook out. Removed the static vectors.

2019-05-16init / exit function orderingDave Barach1-23/+14
The vlib init function subsystem now supports a mix of procedural and formally-specified ordering constraints. We should eliminate procedural knowledge wherever possible. The following schemes are *roughly* equivalent: static clib_error_t *init_runs_first (vlib_main_t *vm) { clib_error_t *error; ... do some stuff... if ((error = vlib_call_init_function (init_runs_next))) return error; ... } VLIB_INIT_FUNCTION (init_runs_first); and static clib_error_t *init_runs_first (vlib_main_t *vm) { ... do some stuff... } VLIB_INIT_FUNCTION (init_runs_first) = { .runs_before = VLIB_INITS("init_runs_next"), }; The first form will [most likely] call "init_runs_next" on the spot. The second form means that "init_runs_first" runs before "init_runs_next," possibly much earlier in the sequence. Please DO NOT construct sets of init functions where A before B actually means A *right before* B. It's not necessary - simply combine A and B - and it leads to hugely annoying debugging exercises when trying to switch from ad-hoc procedural ordering constraints to formal ordering constraints.

2017-10-24Add extern to *_main global variable declarations in header files.Dave Wallace1-0/+1
- Global variables declared in header files without the use of the 'extern' keword will result in multiple instances of the variable to be created by the compiler -- one for each different source file in which the the header file is included. This results in wasted memory allocated in the BSS segments as well as potentially introducing bugs in the application.

2017-01-27IP Multicast FIB (mfib)Neale Ranns1-0/+3
- IPv[46] mfib tables with support for (*,G/m), (*,G) and (S,G) exact and longest prefix match - Replication represented via a new replicate DPO. - RPF configuration and data-plane checking - data-plane signals sent to listening control planes. The functions of multicast forwarding entries differ from their unicast conterparts, so we introduce a new mfib_table_t and mfib_entry_t objects. However, we re-use the fib_path_list to resolve and build the entry's output list. the fib_path_list provides the service to construct a replicate DPO for multicast. 'make tests' is added to with two new suites; TEST=mfib, this is invocation of the CLI command 'test mfib' which deals with many path add/remove, flag set/unset scenarios, TEST=ip-mcast, data-plane forwarding tests. Updated applications to use the new MIFB functions; - IPv6 NS/RA. - DHCPv6 unit tests for these are undated accordingly.
