Subject: [PATCH v2 00/15] RFC: Read-only dynamic update implementation
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 17:11:42 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260319061157.1983818-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
I've taken Stefano's draft implementation of dynamic updates, and
polished it up to have a read-only implementation of the dynamic
update protocol. So far it retrieves the pif names and ruleset from
passt/pasta and displays it. Sending a new ruleset back comes next.
Patches 1..6/15 are preliminary reworks that make moderate sense even
without pesto - feel free to apply if you're happy with them.
Changes in v2:
* Removed already applied cleanups
* Reworked assert() patch to handle -DNDEBUG properly
* Numerous extra patches:
* Factored out serialisation helpers and use them for migration as
well
* Reworked to allow ip.[ch] and inany.[ch] to be shared with pesto
* Reworks to share some forwarding rule datatypes with pesto
* Implemented sending pif names and current ruleset to pesto
David Gibson (15):
treewide: Spell ASSERT() as assert()
serialise: Split functions user for serialisation from util.c
serialise: Add helpers for serialising unsigned integers
fwd: Move selecting correct scan bitmap into fwd_sync_one()
fwd: Look up rule index in fwd_sync_one()
fwd: Store forwarding tables indexed by (origin) pif
pesto: Introduce stub configuration interface and tool
pesto: Add command line option parsing and debug messages
pesto: Expose list of pifs to pesto
ip: Prepare ip.[ch] for sharing with pesto tool
inany: Prepare inany.[ch] for sharing with pesto tool
fwd: Split forwading rule specification from its implementation state
ip: Define a bound for the string returned by ipproto_name()
fwd_rule: Move forwarding rule text formatting to common code
pesto: Read current ruleset from passt/pasta and display it
