nhrpd: fixes core dump on shutdown

[dleroy]

When nhrpd is shutdown via nhrp_request_stop() the shutdown sequence was not handling the case where there are active shortcut routes installed. The zebra client and shortcut rib were being cleaned up before vrf_terminate() had an opportunity to delete the active routes.

would be nice to have a topotest for this

Having a coredump inside the commit would be helpful too.

core.txt link has the backtrace. Next time I'll include in line.

Why not this time?

Hi Donatas, I'd be happy to add coredump and associated nhrpd. I looked for a previous pull request example of best practices how to do that and couldn't find another PR with a coredump. Can you suggest how FRR community would like that done. Thanks.

The zebra client and shortcut rib were being cleaned up before vrf_terminate() had an opportunity to delete the active routes.

(This is non-blocking re. this PR) — we may have a more general problem here with ordering shutdown operations. vrf_init is called before any NHRP initialization (not counting nhrp_error_init), and normally the shutdown calls should be in reverse order to init calls. If we need to clear out routes first, don't do that, and that causes problems… something is wrong with our setup of operations.

The topotest added by this commit is failing on Ubuntu 18.04 arm8 because 'iptables' is not installed on the image. The test leverages 'iptables' in order to be able to test nhrp shortcuts

If you are adding usage of iptables and it is not present you should skip the test on that platform. See the bgp_as_allow_in/test_bgp_as_allow_in.py script and look at setup_module and add a similiar test to the kernel version and pytest.skip(...) if its not available.

Thanks Donald. I pushed the fix to ignore unsupported platforms already. Now just trying to get all the unrelated basics tests to pass. i.e.
