Instead of checking the value of the variable modified two lines earlier
(the number of SOA records present at the apex of the old version of the
zone), one of the RUNTIME_CHECK() assertions in zone_postload() checks
the number of SOA records present at the apex of the new version of the
zone, which is already checked before. Fix the assertion by making it
check the correct variable.
The Windows support has been completely removed from the source tree
and BIND 9 now no longer supports native compilation on Windows.
We might consider reviewing mingw-w64 port if contributed by external
party, but no development efforts will be put into making BIND 9 compile
and run on Windows again.
When named restarts, it will examine signed zones and checks if the
current denial of existence strategy matches the dnssec-policy. If not,
it will schedule to create a new NSEC(3) chain.
However, on startup the zone database may not be read yet, fooling
BIND that the denial of existence chain needs to be created. This
results in a replacement of the previous NSEC(3) chain.
Change the code such that if the NSEC3PARAM lookup failed (the result
did not return in ISC_R_SUCCESS or ISC_R_NOTFOUND), we will try
again later. The nsec3param structure has additional variables to
signal if the lookup is postponed. We also need to save the signal
if an explicit resalt was requested.
In addition to the two added boolean variables, we add a variable to
store the NSEC3PARAM rdata. This may have a yet to be determined salt
value. We can't create the private data yet because there may be a
mismatch in salt length and the NULL salt value.
Add a test case where 'named' is restarted and ensure that an already
signed zone does not change its NSEC3 parameters.
The test case first tests the current zone and saves the used salt
value. Then after restart it checks if the salt (and other parameters)
are the same as before the restart.
This test case changes 'set_nsec3param'. This will now reset the salt
value, and when checking for NSEC3PARAM we will store the salt and
use it when testing the NXDOMAIN response. This does mean that for
every test case we now have to call 'set_nsec3param' explicitly (and
can not omit it because it is the same as the previous zone).
Finally, slightly changed some echo output to make debugging friendlier.
When we rewrote the zone dumping to use the separate threadpool, the
dumping would acquire the read lock for the whole time the zone dumping
process is dumping the zone.
When combined with incoming IXFR that tries to acquire the write lock on
the same rwlock, we would end up blocking all the other readers.
In this commit, we pause the dbiterator every time we get next record
and before start dumping it to the disk.
Make sure an incoming IXFR containing an SOA record which is not placed
at the apex of the transferred zone does not result in a broken version
of the zone being served by named and/or a subsequent crash.
While cleaning up the usage of HAVE_UV_<func> macros, we forgot to
cleanup the HAVE_UV_UDP_CONNECT in the actual code and
HAVE_UV_TRANSLATE_SYS_ERROR and this was causing Windows build to fail
on uv_udp_send() because the socket was already connected and we were
falsely assuming that it was not.
The platforms with autoconf support were not affected, because we were
still checking for the functions from the configure.
This commit adds the ability to consolidate HTTP/2 write requests if
there is already one in flight. If it is the case, the code will
consolidate multiple subsequent write request into a larger one
allowing to utilise the network in a more efficient way by creating
larger TCP packets as well as by reducing TLS records overhead (by
creating large TLS records instead of multiple small ones).
This optimisation is especially efficient for clients, creating many
concurrent HTTP/2 streams over a transport connection at once. This
way, the code might create a small amount of multi-kilobyte requests
instead of many 50-120 byte ones.
In fact, it turned out to work so well that I had to add a work-around
to the code to ensure compatibility with the flamethrower, which, at
the time of writing, does not support TLS records larger than two
kilobytes. Now the code tries to flush the write buffer after 1.5
kilobyte, which is still pretty adequate for our use case.
Essentially, this commit implements a recommendation given by nghttp2
library:
https://nghttp2.org/documentation/nghttp2_session_mem_send.html
Add a call to posix_fadvise() to indicate to the kernel, that `named`
won't be needing the dumped zone files any time soon with:
* POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED - The specified data will not be accessed in the
near future.
Notes:
POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED attempts to free cached pages associated with the
specified region. This is useful, for example, while streaming large
files. A program may periodically request the kernel to free cached
data that has already been used, so that more useful cached pages are
not discarded instead.
Previously, dumping the zones to the files were quantized, so it doesn't
slow down network IO processing. With the introduction of network
manager asynchronous threadpools, we can move the IO intensive work to
use that API and we don't have to quantize the work anymore as it the
file IO won't block anything except other zone dumping processes.
The libuv has a support for running long running tasks in the dedicated
threadpools, so it doesn't affect networking IO.
This commit adds isc_nm_work_enqueue() wrapper that would wraps around
the libuv API and runs it on top of associated worker loop.
The only limitation is that the function must be called from inside
network manager thread, so the call to the function should be wrapped
inside a (bound) task.
Instead of having a configure check for every missing function that has
been added in later version of libuv, we now use UV_VERSION_HEX to
decide whether we need the shim or not.
The uv_req_get_data() and uv_req_set_data() functions were introduced in
libuv >= 1.19.0, so we need to add compatibility shims with older libuv
versions.
Commit bdb777b2a2e079ce25f567a316e74436f0584029 updated the man pages
to contents produced using:
- Sphinx 4.0.2
- sphinx-rtd-theme 0.5.2
- docutils 0.17.1
However, sphinx-rtd-theme 0.5.2 is incompatible with versions 0.17+ of
the docutils package. This problem was addressed in the Docker image
used for building man pages by downgrading the docutils package to
version 0.16.
Regenerate the man pages again, this time using:
- Sphinx 4.0.2
- sphinx-rtd-theme 0.5.2
- docutils 0.16
This is necessary to prevent the "docs" GitLab CI job from failing.
Rather than having an expensive 'expired' (fka 'stale_ttl') in the
rdataset structure, that is only used to be printed in a comment on
ancient RRsets, reuse the TTL field of the RRset.
Commit a83c8cb0afd88d54b9cf67239f2495c9b0391e97 updated masterdump so
that stale records in "rndc dumpdb" output no longer shows 0 TTLs. In
this commit we change the name of the `rdataset->stale_ttl` field to
`rdataset->expired` to make its purpose clearer, and set it to zero in
cases where it's unused.
Add 'rbtdb->serve_stale_ttl' to various checks so that stale records
are not purged from the cache when they've been stale for RBTDB_VIRTUAL
(300) seconds.
Increment 'ns_statscounter_usedstale' when a stale answer is used.
Note: There was a question of whether 'overmem_purge' should be
purging ancient records, instead of stale ones. It is left as purging
stale records, since stale records could take up the majority of the
cache.
