Instead of using bind() and passing the listening socket to the children
threads using uv_export/uv_import use one thread that does the accepting,
and then passes the connected socket using uv_export/uv_import to a random
worker. The previous solution had thundering herd problems (all workers
waking up on one connection and trying to accept()), this one avoids this
and is simpler.
The tcp clients quota is simplified with isc_quota_attach_cb - a callback
is issued when the quota is available.
The rewrite of BIND 9 build system is a large work and cannot be reasonable
split into separate merge requests. Addition of the automake has a positive
effect on the readability and maintainability of the build system as it is more
declarative, it allows conditional and we are able to drop all of the custom
make code that BIND 9 developed over the years to overcome the deficiencies of
autoconf + custom Makefile.in files.
This squashed commit contains following changes:
- conversion (or rather fresh rewrite) of all Makefile.in files to Makefile.am
by using automake
- the libtool is now properly integrated with automake (the way we used it
was rather hackish as the only official way how to use libtool is via
automake
- the dynamic module loading was rewritten from a custom patchwork to libtool's
libltdl (which includes the patchwork to support module loading on different
systems internally)
- conversion of the unit test executor from kyua to automake parallel driver
- conversion of the system test executor from custom make/shell to automake
parallel driver
- The GSSAPI has been refactored, the custom SPNEGO on the basis that
all major KRB5/GSSAPI (mit-krb5, heimdal and Windows) implementations
support SPNEGO mechanism.
- The various defunct tests from bin/tests have been removed:
bin/tests/optional and bin/tests/pkcs11
- The text files generated from the MD files have been removed, the
MarkDown has been designed to be readable by both humans and computers
- The xsl header is now generated by a simple sed command instead of
perl helper
- The <irs/platform.h> header has been removed
- cleanups of configure.ac script to make it more simpler, addition of multiple
macros (there's still work to be done though)
- the tarball can now be prepared with `make dist`
- the system tests are partially able to run in oot build
Here's a list of unfinished work that needs to be completed in subsequent merge
requests:
- `make distcheck` doesn't yet work (because of system tests oot run is not yet
finished)
- documentation is not yet built, there's a different merge request with docbook
to sphinx-build rst conversion that needs to be rebased and adapted on top of
the automake
- msvc build is non functional yet and we need to decide whether we will just
cross-compile bind9 using mingw-w64 or fix the msvc build
- contributed dlz modules are not included neither in the autoconf nor automake
We introduce a isc_quota_attach_cb function - if ISC_R_QUOTA is returned
at the time the function is called, then a callback will be called when
there's quota available (with quota already attached). The callbacks are
organized as a LIFO queue in the quota structure.
It's needed for TCP client quota - with old networking code we had one
single place where tcp clients quota was processed so we could resume
accepting when the we had spare slots, but it's gone with netmgr - now
we need to notify the listener/accepter that there's quota available so
that it can resume accepting.
Remove unused isc_quota_force() function.
The isc_quote_reserve and isc_quota_release were used only internally
from the quota.c and the tests. We should not expose API we are not
using.
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.
The isc_mem API now crashes on memory allocation failure, and this is
the next commit in series to cleanup the code that could fail before,
but cannot fail now, e.g. isc_result_t return type has been changed to
void for the isc_log API functions that could only return ISC_R_SUCCESS.
The <isc/md.h> header directly included <openssl/evp.h> header which
enforced all users of the libisc library to explicitly list the include
path to OpenSSL and link with -lcrypto. By hiding the specific
implementation into the private namespace, we no longer enforce this.
In the long run, this might also allow us to switch cryptographic
library implementation without affecting the downstream users.
While making the isc_md_type_t type opaque, the API using the data type
was changed to use the pointer to isc_md_type_t instead of using the
type directly.
The <isc/md.h> header directly included <openssl/hmac.h> header which
enforced all users of the libisc library to explicitly list the include
path to OpenSSL and link with -lcrypto. By hiding the specific
implementation into the private namespace, we no longer enforce this.
In the long run, this might also allow us to switch cryptographic
library implementation without affecting the downstream users.
The two "functions" that isc/safe.h declared before were actually simple
defines to matching OpenSSL functions. The downside of the approach was
enforcing all users of the libisc library to explicitly list the include
path to OpenSSL and link with -lcrypto. By hiding the specific
implementation into the private namespace changing the defines into
simple functions, we no longer enforce this. In the long run, this
might also allow us to switch cryptographic library implementation
without affecting the downstream users.
The previous commit removed the code related to the internal symbol
table. On platforms where available, we can now use backtrace_symbols()
to print more verbose symbols table to the output.
As there's now general availability of backtrace() and
backtrace_symbols() functions (see below), the commit also removes the
usage of glibc internals and the custom stack tracing.
* backtrace(), backtrace_symbols(), and backtrace_symbols_fd() are
provided in glibc since version 2.1.
* backtrace(), backtrace_symbols(), and backtrace_symbols_fd() first
appeared in Mac OS X 10.5.
* The backtrace() library of functions first appeared in NetBSD 7.0 and
FreeBSD 10.0.
This commit simplifies a bit the lock management within dns_resolver_prime()
and prime_done() functions by means of turning resolver's attribute
"priming" into an atomic_bool and by creating only one dependent object on the
lock "primelock", namely the "primefetch" attribute.
By having the attribute "priming" as an atomic type, it save us from having to
use a lock just to test if priming is on or off for the given resolver context
object, within "dns_resolver_prime" function.
The "primelock" lock is still necessary, since dns_resolver_prime() function
internally calls dns_resolver_createfetch(), and whenever this function
succeeds it registers an event in the task manager which could be called by
another thread, namely the "prime_done" function, and this function is
responsible for disposing the "primefetch" attribute in the resolver object,
also for resetting "priming" attribute to false.
It is important that the invariant "priming == false AND primefetch == NULL"
remains constant, so that any thread calling "dns_resolver_prime" knows for sure
that if the "priming" attribute is false, "primefetch" attribute should also be
NULL, so a new fetch context could be created to fulfill this purpose, and
assigned to "primefetch" attribute under the lock protection.
To honor the explanation above, dns_resolver_prime is implemented as follow:
1. Atomically checks the attribute "priming" for the given resolver context.
2. If "priming" is false, assumes that "primefetch" is NULL (this is
ensured by the "prime_done" implementation), acquire "primelock"
lock and create a new fetch context, update "primefetch" pointer to
point to the newly allocated fetch context.
3. If "priming" is true, assumes that the job is already in progress,
no locks are acquired, nothing else to do.
To keep the previous invariant consistent, "prime_done" is implemented as follow:
1. Acquire "primefetch" lock.
2. Keep a reference to the current "primefetch" object;
3. Reset "primefetch" attribute to NULL.
4. Release "primefetch" lock.
5. Atomically update "priming" attribute to false.
6. Destroy the "primefetch" object by using the temporary reference.
This ensures that if "priming" is false, "primefetch" was already reset to NULL.
It doesn't make any difference in having the "priming" attribute not protected
by a lock, since the visible state of this variable would depend on the calling
order of the functions "dns_resolver_prime" and "prime_done".
As an example, suppose that instead of using an atomic for the "priming" attribute
we employed a lock to protect it.
Now suppose that "prime_done" function is called by Thread A, it is then preempted
before acquiring the lock, thus not reseting "priming" to false.
In parallel to that suppose that a Thread B is scheduled and that it calls
"dns_resolver_prime()", it then acquires the lock and check that "priming" is true,
thus it will consider that this resolver object is already priming and it won't do
any more job.
Conversely if the lock order was acquired in the other direction, Thread B would check
that "priming" is false (since prime_done acquired the lock first and set "priming" to false)
and it would initiate a priming fetch for this resolver.
An atomic variable wouldn't change this behavior, since it would behave exactly the
same, depending on the function call order, with the exception that it would avoid
having to use a lock.
There should be no side effects resulting from this change, since the previous
implementation employed use of the more general resolver's "lock" mutex, which
is used in far more contexts, but in the specifics of the "dns_resolver_prime"
and "prime_done" it was only used to protect "primefetch" and "priming" attributes,
which are not used in any of the other critical sections protected by the same lock,
thus having zero dependency on those variables.
hp implementation requires an object for each thread accessing
a hazard pointer. previous implementation had a hardcoded
HP_MAX_THREAD value of 128, which failed on machines with lots of
CPU cores (named uses 3n threads). We make isc__hp_max_threads
configurable at startup, with the value set to 4*named_g_cpus.
It's also important for this value not to be too big as we do
linear searches on a list.
The isc_refcount API that provides reference counting lost DbC checks for
overflows and underflows in the isc_refcount_{increment,decrement} functions.
The commit restores the overflow check in the isc_refcount_increment and
underflows check in the isc_refcount_decrement by checking for the previous
value to not be on the boundary.
- 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.
After the network manager rewrite, tcp-higwater stats was only being
updated when a valid DNS query was received over tcp.
It turns out tcp-quota is updated right after a tcp connection is
accepted, before any data is read, so in the event that some client
connect but don't send a valid query, it wouldn't be taken into
account to update tcp-highwater stats, that is wrong.
This commit fix tcp-highwater to update its stats whenever a tcp connection
is established, independent of what happens after (timeout/invalid
request, etc).
The new ISC_THREAD_LOCAL macro unifies usage of platform dependent
Thread Local Storage definition thread_local vs __thread vs
__declspec(thread) to a single macro.
The commit also unifies the required level of support for TLS as for
some parts of the code it was mandatory and for some parts of the code
it wasn't.
FCTX_ATTR_SHUTTINGDOWN needs to be set and tested while holding the node
lock but the rest of the attributes don't as they are task locked. Making
fctx->attributes atomic allows both behaviours without races.
- restore support for tcp-initial-timeout, tcp-idle-timeout,
tcp-keepalive-timeout and tcp-advertised-timeout configuration
options, which were ineffective previously.
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.
