Hi all,
I'll pop up this old discussion. I've found a bug with bird handling its routes when ignore_routes_with_linkdown is enabled. And I suspect it is related to this patch. The problem is that bird does not replace or delete the routes it installed when they are marked as dead. For example if we stop it with "graceful restart", the routes are left in the table and after we start bird again with updated config, this old route remains in the table. I can reproduce it with bird compiled from master branch now. Now, that I have found this thread, I suppose, that this changes blind bird for all such routes during the scan. As a result bird also ignores its own routes (proto bird), which causes problems. I think there should be an exception for the routes that are installed by bird itself.
Hi You are right, it makes sense to apply dead-flag handling only to to non-bird routes.
