The "Needs Refresh" flag is exposed in two places in the statistics
channel: first - there is a state called "Needs Refresh", when the
process hasn't started yet, but the zone needs a refresh, and second
- there there is a field called "Additional Refresh Queued", when the
process is ongoing, but another refresh is queued for the same zone.
The DNS_ZONEFLG_NEEDREFRESH flag, however, is set only when there is
an ongoing zone transfer and a new notify is received. That is, the
flag is not set for the first case above.
In order to fix the issue, use the DNS_ZONEFLG_NEEDREFRESH flag only
when the zone transfer is running, otherwise, decide whether a zone
needs a refresh using its refresh and expire times.
The XFRST_INITIALSOA state in the xfrin module is named like that,
because the first RR in a zone transfer must be SOA. However, the
name of the state is a bit confusing (especially when exposed to
the users with statistics channel), because it can be mistaken with
the refresh SOA request step, which takes place before the zone
transfer starts.
Rename the state to XFRST_ZONEXFRREQUEST (i.e. Zone Transfer Request).
During that step the state machine performs several operations -
establishing a connection, sending a request, and receiving/parsing
the first RR in the answer.
Currently in the statsistics channel's incoming zone transfers list
the local and remote addresses are shown only when the zone transfer
is already running. Since we have now introduced the "Refresh SOA"
state, which shows the state of the SOA query before the zone transfer
is started, this commit implements a feature to show the local and
remote addresses for the SOA query, when the state is "Refresh SOA".
Improve the "Duration (s)" field, so that it can show the duration of
all the major states of an incoming zone transfer process, while they
are taking place. In particular, it will now show the duration of the
"Pending", "Refresh SOA" and "Deferred" states too, before the actual
zone transfer starts.
With adding this state to the statistics channel, it can now show
the zone transfer in this state instead of as "Pending" when the
zone.c module is performing a refresh SOA request, before actually
starting the transfer process. This will help to understand
whether the process is waiting because of the rate limiter (i.e.
"Pending"), or the rate limiter is passed and it is now waiting for
the refresh SOA query to complete or time out.
Add two more secondary zones to ns3 to be transferred from ns1,
using its IPv6 address for which the 'tcp-only' is set to 'yes'.
Check the statistics channel's incoming zone transfers information
to confirm that the expected transports were used for each of the
SOA query cases (UDP, TCP, TLS), and also for zone transfers (TCP,
TLS).
Add a new field in the incoming zone transfers section of the
statistics channel to show the transport used for the SOA request.
When the transfer is started beginning from the XFRST_SOAQUERY state,
it means that the SOA query will be performed by xfrin itself, using
the same transport. Otherwise, it means that the SOA query was already
performed by other means (e.g. by zone.c:soa_query()), and, in that
case, we use the SOA query transport type information passed by the
'soa_transport_type' argument, when the xfrin object was created.
This allows the statistics channel to be viewed in a browser while
the transfer is in progress. Also set the transfer format to
one-answer to extend the amount of time the re-transfer takes.
When running the statschannel test on its own, use
<http://10.53.0.3:5304/xml/v3/xfrins> to see the output.
Note: the port is subject to future change.
dns_xfrin_t state may be accessed from different threads when
when reporting transfer state. Ensure access is thread safe by
using atomics and locks where appropriate.
Use the named -T transferslowly test options to slow down a zone
transfer from the primary server, and test that it's correctly
exposed in the statistics channel of the secondary server, while
it's in-progress.
In some dns_transport getter functions it's possible to use a
const dns_transport_t as the first argument instead of just
dns_transport_t. Convert the function prototypes to use const.
Apply the semantic patch to catch all the places where we pass 'char' to
the <ctype.h> family of functions (isalpha() and friends, toupper(),
tolower()).
Add a semantic patch to catch all the places where we pass 'char' to the
<ctype.h> family of functions (isalpha() and friends, toupper(),
tolower()). While it generally works because the way how these
functions are constructed in the libc, it's safer to do the explicit
cast.
The new :cve: Sphinx role takes a CVE number as an argument and creates
a hyperlink to the relevant ISC Knowledgebase document that might have
more up-to-date or verbose information than the relevant release note.
This makes reaching ISC Knowledgebase pages directly from the release
notes easier.
Make all CVE references in the release notes use the new Sphinx role.
The QID table hashing used a custom merging of the sockaddr, port and id
into a single hashvalue. Normalize the QID table hashing function to
use isc_hash32 API for all the values.
Instead of copying address back and forth when hashing addr+port, we can
use incremental hashing. Additionally, switch from 64-bit
isc_hash_function to 32-bit isc_hash32() as the resulting value is
32-bit.
The Unix Domain Sockets support in BIND 9 has been completely disabled
since BIND 9.18 and it has been a fatal error since then. Cleanup the
code and the documentation that suggest that Unix Domain Sockets are
supported.
The previous symlink name convention was prone to name collisions If a
system test contained both a shell test and a pytest module of the same
name (e.g. dnstap test has both tests.sh and tests_dnstap.py), then
these would have the same convenience symlink, which could cause test
setup issues as well as confusion when examining test artifacts.
Update the naming convention to include the full pytest module name.
This results in a slightly more verbose names for shell tests (e.g.
dnstap_sh_dnstap instead of the previous dnstap_dnstap), but it removes
the chance of a collision.
Reorganize individual port fixtures and re-use the ports fixture to
obtain their number. Store it as integer and only cast it to string when
setting it as environment variable.
Remove code fork for legacy runner, reorganize imports and move a
pylint-silencing snippet to the top of the file. The rest of the code
was just unindented.
