Hi folks,
Well, sunday dutty on a raining day ! :) I just pushed a new release
extending and fixing some pending issues. Please read the changelog for
credits ! and thanks to contributors for their work.
ChangeLog for this release is :
2013-11-10 Alexandre Cassen <acassen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
* keepalived-1.2.9 released.
* Alexey Andriyanov fixed inaccuracy in VS_ISEQ macro.
* Alexey Andriyanov fixed hysteresis which could be >= quorum now.
* Alexey Andriyanov extended checker framework so that status_code
and digest can be set together.
* Alexey Andriyanov extended/fixed checker framework for better
SIGHUP support.
* Jonas Johansson fixed VRRP sync group by sending prio 0 when
entering FAULT state. This fix will send prio 0 (VRRP_PRIO_STOP)
when the VRRP router transists from MASTER to FAULT state. This
will make a sync group leave the MASTER state more quickly by
notifying the backup router(s) instead of having them to wait
for time out.
* Jonas Johansson extended VRRP VMAC interface flags (up/down
status) to follow base interface. When using a VMAC interface,
this fix will reflect the base interface flags, i.e. up/down
status, to the VMAC interface. This is useful when using sync
groups (in combination with VMAC) and a link for one of the
members in the MASTER sync group goes down. Before this fix,
this member will not detect the link fault, due to that the
VMAC interface always is UP regardless of the actual status of
the base interface, and the sync group will continue to be
MASTER as if nothing has happend. This fix will however reflect
the status of the base interface onto the VMAC interface, so if
the link goes down the member will transit to FAULT state, which
will make the sync group transit to BACKUP state.
* Jonas Johansson fixed VRRP wrong interface flags corner case.
If a link event arrives between the initial scanning for
interfaces and configuration file parsing, the VRRP instance
will enter an unrecoverable state. This fix will update the
interface flags even when the interface exists, not only for
the inital scan. Note that when all is up and running the link
events will be properly handled by netlink, so this fix only
fixes the special case when a link changes state during
initalization/configuration.
* Jonas Johansson fixed VRRP to honor preempt_delay setting on
startup. If the preempt_delay is set we cannot yet transition
to master state. We must await the timeout of our preempt_delay.
The preemption delay is used when starting up, or rebooting, a
node which needs time to sort out its routing table (e.g., BGP
or OSPF) before it can assume the master role.
* Jonas Johansson extended VRRP code for faster sync group
transition.
* Jonas Johansson replaced popt with getopt. In a embedded
environment you might not want to have to add yet another
library dependency. This commit refactors parse_cmdline() to
use getopt_long() instead och popt.
* EyckWigo proposed to increase defaut socket buf size to handle
env with lot of IP addresses, Default is now set to 64K on
netlink socket.
* Guðmundur Bjarni �lafsson fixed VRRP unicast code to allow
packet to be routed !
* Guðmundur Bjarni �lafsson fixed VRRP checksum before
computation. When running in unicast mode with multiple peers,
the checksum was being calculated into itself for consequent
peers, causing incorrect checksums.
* Extended VRRP framework tweaking IPv6 VIP install by disabling
DAD algo and setting deprecated.
Lot of discussions have been made around those 2 topics. First
idea and initial patch where provided by Leo Baltus. This patch
fix the use case where VRRP VIPv6 are used in conjonction of
IPVS healthchecking. If deprecated flag is not set (which is
the default linux behaviour), then VRRP VIP can be used as
source address of healthcheking packet. Since this VIP address
is also present, in most use-cases, on realserver directly so
return packets never reach the healthchecker and hence no
realserver was injected in IPVS table. At the same time, I
decided to merge Tore Anderson suggestion of disabling
Duplicate Address Detection algorithm. Tore's arguments
are nice ! Thanks Tore : Using the nodad flag has the following
benefits:
1) The address becomes immediately usable after they're
configured.
2) In the case of a temporary layer-2 / split-brain problem we
can avoid that the active VIP transitions into the dadfailed
phase and stays there forever - leaving us without service.
HA/VRRP setups have their own "DAD"-like functionality, so
it's not really needed from the IPv6 stack.
Acknowledgements to Mark Schouten and Frank Baalbergen for
pushing me by testing this features !
Enjoy,
