The SO_INCOMING_CPU is available since Linux 3.19 for getting the value,
but only since Linux 4.4 for setting the value (see below for a full
description). BIND 9 should not fail when setting the option on the
socket fails, as this is only an optimization and not hard requirement
to run BIND 9.
SO_INCOMING_CPU (gettable since Linux 3.19, settable since Linux 4.4)
Sets or gets the CPU affinity of a socket. Expects an integer flag.
int cpu = 1;
setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_INCOMING_CPU, &cpu, sizeof(cpu));
Because all of the packets for a single stream (i.e., all
packets for the same 4-tuple) arrive on the single RX queue that
is associated with a particular CPU, the typical use case is to
employ one listening process per RX queue, with the incoming
flow being handled by a listener on the same CPU that is
handling the RX queue. This provides optimal NUMA behavior and
keeps CPU caches hot.
tcpdns used transport-specific functions to operate on the outer socket.
Use generic ones instead, and select the proper call in netmgr.c.
Make the missing functions (e.g. isc_nm_read) generic and add type-specific
calls (isc__nm_tcp_read). This is the preparation for netmgr TLS layer.
We weren't consistent about who should unreference the handle in
case of network error. Make it consistent so that it's always the
client code responsibility to unreference the handle - either
in the callback or right away if send function failed and the callback
will never be called.
In tcp and udp stoplistening code we accessed libuv structures
from a different thread, which caused a shutdown crash when named
was under load. Also added additional DbC checks making sure we're
in a proper thread when accessing uv_ functions.
We had a race in which n UDP socket could have been already closing
by libuv but we still sent data to it. Mark socket as not-active
when stopping listening and verify that socket is not active when
trying to send data to it.
- the socket stat counters have been moved from socket.h to stats.h.
- isc_nm_t now attaches to the same stats counter group as
isc_socketmgr_t, so that both managers can increment the same
set of statistics
- isc__nmsocket_init() now takes an interface as a paramter so that
the address family can be determined when initializing the socket.
- based on the address family and socket type, a group of statistics
counters will be associated with the socket - for example, UDP4Active
with IPv4 UDP sockets and TCP6Active with IPv6 TCP sockets. note
that no counters are currently associated with TCPDNS sockets; those
stats will be handled by the underlying TCP socket.
- the counters are not actually used by netmgr sockets yet; counter
increment and decrement calls will be added in a later commit.
- use UV_{TC,UD}P_IPV6ONLY for IPv6 sockets, keeping the pre-netmgr
behaviour.
- add a new listening_error bool flag which is set if the child
listener fails to start listening. This fixes a bug where named would
hang if, e.g., we failed to bind to a TCP socket.
When listening for TCP connections we create a socket, bind it
and then pass it over IPC to all threads - which then listen on
in and accept connections. This sounds broken, but it's the
official way of dealing with multithreaded TCP listeners in libuv,
and works on all platforms supported by libuv.
This is a replacement for the existing isc_socket and isc_socketmgr
implementation. It uses libuv for asynchronous network communication;
"networker" objects will be distributed across worker threads reading
incoming packets and sending them for processing.
UDP listener sockets automatically create an array of "child" sockets
so each worker can listen separately.
TCP sockets are shared amongst worker threads.
A TCPDNS socket is a wrapper around a TCP socket, which handles the
the two-byte length field at the beginning of DNS messages over TCP.
(Other wrapper socket types can be implemented in the future to handle
DNS over TLS, DNS over HTTPS, etc.)
