Hello,

I have found odd behaviour when using "ip route list" (and other bound
commands) with prefix "default".

When family not specified, its value is completely ignored and "ip
route list default" shows all inet4 prefixes. Same do "ip route list
exact default" and "ip route list match default". Examples are at the
end of the message.

When family is specified, the behaviour changes and default works as
expected (=0.0.0.0/0 for inet4 and =::/0 for inet6). The above
commands all shows only default prefix in the output and only "root
default" shows all prefixes.

I tried to dig into the code and found that when default is using with
unspecified family - the resulting structures filter.[mr]dst will
actually become all-zeroes as in the case when nothing is specified.

I propose to change this in such a way (see attached patch). When
default prefix is parsed, the flag PREFIXLEN_SPECIFIED is attached to
it too, like for prefixes with "/<masklen>". It seems logical to me,
because "/0" is really implied by "default" and even directly set up
in the code:

dst->bitlen = 0;

Then during filtering there is additional logic for unspecified family
and specified prefix.

With this patch ip route list commands shown above are working as
expected. And it also works with unspecified table when routes are
printed from different families.

Examples after applying the patch:

# ./ip route list
default via 192.168.0.2 dev eth0
192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.1

I also opened earlier a ticket in bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197899
And Stephen Hemminger had couple of comments there which I want to argue:

> $ ip route list default
> Means list all routes in any address family (ie same as any)
> but
>
> $ ip route list 0/0
> Means list all routes for IPv4 default route.

This is not correct, because first command do not show routes in any
address family. Now it do so only when table 0 is specified, otherwise
only IPv4 routes are showed. Here is the code from iproute.c:

        if (do_ipv6 == AF_UNSPEC && filter.tb)
                do_ipv6 = AF_INET;

Yes, backward compatibility is a reason. But as I remember, that
sematics already have changed earlier. Probably it was showing IPv4
and IPv6 routes together without family specified - I do not remember
exactly. And I have doubts that such feature could be lied on
reliably.
I as a end user would prefer to make the behaviour more consistent and
without such excetptions. But of course there may be other opinions.

Hello everybody,

I will be glad to hear a piece of feedback on this proposal.

As a conservative maintainer, my preference is always to receive acknowledgments
from others before accepting something that may break existing users.

Backward compatibility is more important than the surprising result you discovered.
A confused new user is less of an issue than breaking some existing user
who may not even have contact back to network developers.

Since it has been that way for many years, waiting a couple of weeks for review
is not going to hurt anything.

I think this is fine, and see no problem.
The patch is missing 'Signed-off-by' line which is required for iproute2;
the overall rules for iproute2 are (mostly) the same as the kernel.

Please resubmit with Signed-off-by
Alexander Zubkov Dec. 17, 2017, 12:06 p.m. UTC | #5
OK. I have found the recommendations for kernel developers and
resubmited both of my patches according to their guidelines (I hope).
I have used my other e-mail because I think gmail is not good with
text email format.
