The size of the array holding the pointers to clientmgr was created so
big it could hold the actual clientmgr objects, not just the pointer.
This commit fixes the size to be just the ncpus * sizeof(pointer).
The isc_nmiface_t type was holding just a single isc_sockaddr_t,
so we got rid of the datatype and use plain isc_sockaddr_t in place
where isc_nmiface_t was used before. This means less type-casting and
shorter path to access isc_sockaddr_t members.
At the same time, instead of keeping the reference to the isc_sockaddr_t
that was passed to us when we start listening, we will keep a local
copy. This prevents the data race on destruction of the ns_interface_t
objects where pending nmsockets could reference the sockaddr of already
destroyed ns_interface_t object.
* dns_journal_next() leaves the read point in the journal after the
transaction header so journal_seek() should be inside the loop.
* we need to recover from transaction header inconsistencies
Additionally when correcting for <size, serial0, serial1, 0> the
correct consistency check is isc_serial_gt() rather than
isc_serial_ge(). All instances updated.
BIND installation should be done by setting DESTDIR during "make
install" not by setting prefix via ./configure.
Make sure that installation with DESTDIR=<PATH> works by checking that
named binary and it's respective man page were installed and that
well-known BIND9 directories - and only them - are present in DESTDIR.
Also rename install path variable from BIND_INSTALL_PATH to
INSTALL_PATH to avoid namespace clash in stress tests which use
BIND_INSTALL_PATH variable to configure path to BIND9 binaries.
Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) is reaching End of Standard Support in April
2021 thus we are removing it from the list of supported platforms and
replacing it with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver).
According to the measurements (recorded on GL!5085), the fillcount of 2
for namepool and fillcount of 4 for rdspool can fit 99.99% of request
for tested scenarios.
This was discovered by perf recording the single second recursive test
using flamethrower where the initial malloc lit up like a flare.
Previously, as a way of reducing the contention between threads a
clientmgr object would be created for each interface/IP address.
We tasks being more strictly bound to netmgr workers, this is no longer
needed and we can just create clientmgr object per worker queue (ncpus).
Each clientmgr object than would have a single task and single memory
context.
Similarly, the resolver code would create hundreds of memory contexts
just on the resolver setup. The contention will be reduced directly in
the allocator, so for now just attach to the view memory instead of
creating separate memory context for each bucket.
Since a client object is bound to a netmgr handle, each client
will always be processed by the same netmgr worker, so we can
simplify the code by binding client->task to the same thread as
the client. Since ns__client_request() now runs in the same event
loop as client->task events, is no longer necessary to pause the
task manager before launching them.
Also removed some functions in isc_task that were not used.
The number of memory contexts created in the clientmgr was enormous. It
could easily create thousands of memory contexts because the formula was:
nprotocols * ncpus * ninterfaces * CLIENT_NMCTXS_PERCPU (8)
The original goal was to reduce the contention when allocating the
memory, but after a while nobody noticed that the amount of memory
context allocated would not reduce contention at all.
This commit removes the whole mctxpool and just uses the mctx from
clientmgr as the contention will be reduced directly in the allocator.
Running gcc:tarball CI job for merge requests is consistent with how we
run gcc:out-of-tree CI job and should help identify problems with the
build system during the review process, not once merged during daily
runs. For the sake of time, unit and system tests associated with the
gcc:tarball CI job are excluded from merge requests.
It's a common pattern to spawn CI jobs only for pipelines triggered by
schedules, tags, and web. There should be an anchor so that the rules
are not repeated.
the idle timeout for rndc connections was set to 10 seconds, but this
caused intermittent system failures of the 'rndc' system test on slow
platforms, since 'rndc reconfig' could time out before reconfiguration
was complete.
this commit restores the original timeout value of 60 seconds, which was
changed inadvertently after rndc was updated to use the network manager.
even with this change, however, the test can still time out under
TSAN because loading the huge zone can take a very long time (upwards
of two minutes). so the test is modified here to generate a smaller zone
file when running under TSAN.
dns_name_copy() has been replaced nearly everywhere with
dns_name_copynf(). this commit changes the last two uses of
the original function. afterward, we can remove the old
dns_name_copy() implementation, and replace it with _copynf().
dns_message_gettempname() returns an initialized name with a dedicated
buffer, associated with a dns_fixedname object. Using dns_name_copynf()
to write a name into this object will actually copy the name data
from a source name. dns_name_clone() merely points target->ndata to
source->ndata, so it is faster, but it can lead to a use-after-free if
the source is freed before the target object is released via
dns_message_puttempname().
In a few places, clone was being used where copynf should have been;
this is now fixed.
As a side note, no memory was lost, because the ndata buffer used in
the dns_fixedname_t is internal to the structure, and is freed when
the dns_fixedname_t is freed regardless of the .ndata contents.
When executed in "legacy mode" (i.e. without the '-r' parameter)
run.sh invokes make with a modified environment.
SYSTEMTEST_FORCE_COLOR is now preserved for use by the individual test
scripts.
CYGWIN is now preserved for named, as it controls behavior relating to
crash reporting.
This restores legacy behavior in bin/tests/system where running:
SYSTEMTEST_NO_CLEAN=1 ./run.sh <testname>
would run the test and preserve the output files.
This has been broken since the change that has run.sh invoke "make",
due to SYSTEMTEST_NO_CLEAN not being preserved in the environment
that's set up for "make".
Another option would be to completely remove SYSTEMTEST_NO_CLEAN.
This seems to be the only behavior-changing environment variable
not accounted for in the call to "make".
I don't think this needs a CHANGES entry.
The default value of the "man_make_section_directory" Sphinx option was
changed in Sphinx 4.0.1, which broke building man pages in maintainer
mode as the shell code in doc/man/Makefile.am expects man pages to be
built in doc/man/_build/man/, not doc/man/_build/man/<section_number>/.
The aforementioned change in defaults was reverted in Sphinx 4.0.2, but
this issue should still be prevented from reoccurring in the future.
Ensure that by explicitly setting the "man_make_section_directory"
option to False.
The man pages produced by Sphinx 4.0.2 are slightly different than those
produced by Sphinx 3.5.4. As Sphinx 4.0.2 is now used in GitLab CI,
update all doc/man/*in files so that they reflect what that version of
Sphinx produces, in order to prevent GitLab CI job failures.
