Description

The zebra daemon in FRR 4.0 won't stay running with a BGP configuration. It crashes on startup. OSPF alone seems to be OK.

Crash backtrace from SG-3100 that hits it:

System log message is the same either way, signal 6.

A forum user reports seeing a signal 11, waiting to see what hardware/setup they use:

Might be better to stay on FRR 3.0.x for the moment (maybe make a net/frr3 to be used by the GUI package, and keep frr as 4.0 so we can work with it still).

I didn't see any open issues on FRR's github that matched.

  • Subject changed from FRR 4.0 zebra daemon crashes with BGP to FRR 4.0 zebra daemon crashes

Looks like this isn't just specific to BGP. In the forum thread linked above, it is happening on multiple amd64 VMs that only use OSPF.

Looks like others have noticed the problem as well:

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2018-June/113538.html
https://github.com/FRRouting/frr/issues/1907
https://github.com/FRRouting/frr/issues/2338

And the FreeBSD port maintainer moved net/frr to net/frr4 and created net/frr3 for a stable version that doesn't crash.
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/commit/00b50894e2fad18970b0646da64136a2c5330460
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/commit/90ff253bc1a1e013ad3ee5f3479e29b771270b17

I tried cherry-picking those from master to devel but there were some conflicts so I didn't want to clobber anything important. If we can get those merged in then net/pfSense-pkg-frr can be changed to depend on net/frr3 and we can all be back in business.

Given that both FRR crash issues I linked above are still marked as open, I do not have any hope of it being fixed upstream yet in any release.

Package has been moved to use FRR 5.0.1 for testing, allegedly the crashes are fixed. Needs testing.

for the part bgp that interests me, in lab IPV4 ok. I let it run and I will test the bugs I have in the previous versions in IPV6 (nexthop enforce who don't work in 3.X)

This looks good with FRR 5.0.1. zebra is still running, no crashes, I'm getting routes from BGP and OSPF
