[pve-devel] [PATCH frr 1/2] d/patches: add backport for bfd session down fix

This is a backport of the FRR PR #18562 [1], that has been submitted
upstream as well [2].

With already established BGP/BFD sessions via underlay networks that
use a different routing protocol than BGP, rebooting a node could
cause the BFD session to enter the ADMIN_DOWN state without ever
recovering from it. This could be alleviated by manually resetting the
BFD session. The commit was identified by bisecting and manually
backported, since the upstream commit was on top of a refactored
bgpd.c file, so it didn't apply cleanly anymore.

The jump to version 10.2.2-1+pve1 fixed this issue for BGP underlay
networks, but the issue could still crop up with OpenFabric / OSPF /
IS-IS underlay networks.

+Subject: [PATCH] bgpd: Treat the peer as not active due to BFD down only if
+ established (backport #18562)
+
+If we have `neighbor X bfd` and BFD status is DOWN and/or ADMIN_DOWN, and BGP
+session is not yet established, we never allow the session to establish.
+
+Let's fix this regression that was in 10.2.
+
+Fixes: 1fb48f5 ("bgpd: Do not start BGP session if BFD profile is in shutdown state")
