even when worker is paused (e.g. interface reconfiguration). This is
needed to prevent deadlocks when reconfiguring interfaces - as network
manager is paused then, but we still need to stop/start listening.
- Proper handling of TCP listen errors in netmgr - bind to the socket first,
then return the error code.
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.
- restore support for tcp-initial-timeout, tcp-idle-timeout,
tcp-keepalive-timeout and tcp-advertised-timeout configuration
options, which were ineffective previously.
- add timeout support for TCP and TCPDNS connections to protect against
slowloris style attacks. currently, all timeouts are hard-coded.
- rework and simplify the TCPDNS state machine.
when the TCPDNS_CLIENTS_PER_CONN limit has been exceeded for a TCP
DNS connection, switch to sequential mode to ensure that memory cannot
be exhausted by too many simultaneous queries.
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.)
