Help with ROUTE_MPATH. Never worked? + then panic/reboot

V

varda

Hello Gentlemen.

Please help/clarify me with usage of kernel 'option ROUTE_MPATH' and multiroutes. I'm on vanilla13-STABLE, everything as after default setup.
Code: 
# uname -a
FreeBSD server.localnetwork 13.0-STABLE FreeBSD 13.0-STABLE #0: Wed Jul  7 01:15:25 +05 2021     me@server.local/usr/obj/usr/src-13/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC  amd64
Trying as follow:
Code: 
route -nv add 87.250.250.242 10.1.1.1
route -nv change -sticky 87.250.250.242 10.1.1.1
route -nv change -weight 10 87.250.250.242 10.1.1.1
route -nv get 87.250.250.242 10.1.1.1

route -nv add 87.250.250.242 10.2.2.2
route -nv change -sticky 87.250.250.242 10.2.2.2
route -nv change -weight 20 87.250.250.242 10.2.2.2
route -nv get 87.250.250.242 10.2.2.2
But never got it working:
Code: 
# route -nv get 87.250.250.242 10.1.1.1

I do not see STICKY in flags, weight is always just 0.

And after dozen route add/change/del tries just goes to reboot with panic.

Does it work at all? How to set up it correctly?

Thank You.
 
I have a similar problem but I'm using FRR and with IPv6. It successfully installs the routes in the kernel but only one is ever used for traffic (the one listed in route get).

Code: 
(dax:20:23:EDT)% show ipv6 route 2620:6:2003:105::/64 
Routing entry for 2620:6:2003:105::/64
  Known via "bgp", distance 20, metric 0, best
  Last update 08:24:34 ago

  *   2620:6:2000:1ff::1172, via tun12, weight 1


(dax:20:23:EDT)% netstat -rn|grep 2620:6:2003:105::/64

(dax:20:23:EDT)%

The only sysctl that's available seems to just globally disable/enable it. There's no options I can see for hash key/type, etc.

FWIW, I'm using something quite a bit newer and still not seeing any actual multipathing (as mentioned in my earlier reply, which is similar to OP's problem):
