This way only quota size is passed to the interface/listener
management code instead of a quota object. Thus, we can implement
updating the quota object size instead of recreating the object.
Similarly to how different code paths reused common client handle
pointers and fetch references despite being logically unrelated, they
also reuse client->recursionquota, the field in which a reference to the
recursion quota is stored. This unnecessarily forces all code using
that field to be aware of the fact that it is overloaded by different
features.
Overloading client->recursionquota also causes inconsistent behavior.
For example, if prefetch code triggers recursion and then delegation
handling code also triggers recursion, only one of these code paths will
be able to attach to the recursion quota, but both recursions will be
started anyway. In other words, each code path only checks whether the
recursion quota has not been exceeded if the quota has not yet been
attached to by another code path. This behavior theoretically allows
the configured recursion quota to be slightly exceeded; while it is not
expected to be a real-world operational issue, it is still confusing and
should therefore be fixed.
Extend the structures comprising the 'recursions' array with a new field
holding a pointer to the recursion quota that a given recursion process
attached to. Update all code paths using client->recursionquota so that
they use the appropriate slot in the 'recursions' array. Drop the
'recursionquota' field from ns_client_t.
Drop the 'fetchhandle' field from ns_client_t as all code using it has
been migrated to use the recursion-type-specific HANDLE_RECTYPE_*()
macros.
Drop the 'fetch' field from ns_query_t as all code using it has been
migrated to use the recursion-type-specific FETCH_RECTYPE_*() macros.
Async hooks are the last feature using the client->fetchhandle and
client->query.fetch pointers. Update ns_query_hookasync() and
query_hookresume() so that they use a dedicated slot in the 'recursions'
array. Note that async hooks are still not expected to initiate
recursion if one was already started by a prior ns_query_recurse() call,
so the REQUIRE assertion in ns_query_hookasync() needs to check the
RECTYPE_NORMAL slot rather than the RECTYPE_HOOK one.
With prefetch and RPZ code updated to use separate slots in the
'recursions' array, the code responsible for starting recursion in
ns_query_recurse() and resuming query handling in fetch_callback()
should follow suit, so that it does not need to explicitly cooperate
with other code paths that may initiate recursion.
Replace:
- client->fetchhandle with HANDLE_RECTYPE_NORMAL(client)
- client->query.fetch with FETCH_RECTYPE_NORMAL(client)
Also update other functions using client->fetchhandle and
client->query.fetch (ns_query_cancel(), query_usestale()) so that those
two fields can shortly be dropped altogether.
Replace:
- client->prefetchhandle with HANDLE_RECTYPE_PREFETCH(client)
- client->query.prefetch with FETCH_RECTYPE_PREFETCH(client)
This is preparatory work for separating prefetch code from RPZ code.
When a client waits for a prefetch- or RPZ-triggered recursion to
complete, its netmgr handle is attached to client->prefetchhandle and a
reference to the resolver fetch is stored in client->query.prefetch.
Both of these features use the same fields mentioned above. This makes
the code fragile and hard to follow as its logically distinct parts
become intertwined for no obvious reason.
Furthermore, storing pointers related to a specific recursion process in
two different structures makes their purpose harder to grasp than it has
to be.
To alleviate the problem, extend ns_query_t with an array of structures
containing recursion-related pointers. Each feature able to initiate
recursion is supposed to use its own slot in that array, allowing
logically unrelated code paths to be untangled. Prefetch and RPZ will
be the first users of that array.
Define helper macros for accessing specific recursion-related pointers
in order to improve code readability.
This commit disables periodic interface re-scans timer on Linux where
a kernel-based dynamic interface mechanisms make it a thing of the
past in most cases.
In order to modify the .localhost and .localnets members of the
dns_aclenv, all other processing on the netmgr loops needed to be
stopped using the task exclusive mode. Add the isc_rwlock to the
dns_aclenv, so any modifications to the .localhost and .localnets can be
done under the write lock.
The .lock, .exiting and .excl members were not using for anything else
than starting task exclusive mode, setting .exiting to true and ending
exclusive mode.
Remove all the stray members and dead code eliminating the task
exclusive mode use from ns_clientmgr.
This commit adds support for Strict/Mutual TLS into BIND. It does so
by implementing the backing code for 'hostname' and 'ca-file' options
of the 'tls' statement. The commit also updates the documentation
accordingly.
The way the ns_client_t .shuttingdown member was practically dead code.
The .shuttingdown would be set to true only in ns__client_put() function
meaning that we have detached from all ns_client_t .*handles and the
ns_client_t object being freed:
client->magic = 0;
client->shuttingdown = true;
[...]
isc_mem_put(manager->ctx, client, sizeof(*client))
Meanwhile the ns_client_t object is accessed like this:
isc_nmhandle_detach(&client->fetchhandle);
client->query.attributes &= ~NS_QUERYATTR_RECURSING;
client->state = NS_CLIENTSTATE_WORKING;
qctx_init(client, &devent, 0, &qctx);
client_shuttingdown = ns_client_shuttingdown(client);
if (fetch_canceled || fetch_answered || client_shuttingdown) {
[...]
}
Even if the isc_nmhandle_detach(...) was the last handle detach, it
would mean that immediatelly, after calling the isc_nmhandle_detach(),
we would be causing use-after-free, because the ns_client_t is
immediatelly destroyed after setting .shuttingdown to true.
The similar code in the query_hookresume() already noticed this:
/*
* This event is running under a client task, so it's safe to detach
* the fetch handle. And it should be done before resuming query
* processing below, since that may trigger another recursion or
* asynchronous hook event.
*/
The ns_client_t is always attached to ns_clientmgr_t which has
associated memory context, server context, task and threadid. Use those
directly from the ns_clientmgr_t instead of attaching it to an extra
copy in ns_client_t to make the ns_client_t more sleek and lean.
Additionally, remove some stray ns_client_t struct members that were not
used anywhere.
Instead of passing the "workers" variable back and forth along with
passing the single isc_nm_t instance, add isc_nm_getnworkers() function
that returns the number of netmgr threads are running.
Change the ns_interfacemgr and ns_taskmgr to utilize the newly acquired
knowledge.
Commit aab691d51266f552a7923db32686fb9398b1d255 did not fix all possible
scenarios in which the ns_statscounter_recursclients counter underflows.
The solution implemented therein can be ineffective e.g. when CNAME
chaining happens with prefetching enabled.
Here is an example recursive resolution scenario in which the
ns_statscounter_recursclients counter can underflow with the current
logic in effect:
1. Query processing starts, the answer is not found in the cache, so
recursion is started. The NS_CLIENTATTR_RECURSING attribute is set.
ns_statscounter_recursclients is incremented (Δ = +1).
2. Recursion completes, returning a CNAME. client->recursionquota is
non-NULL, so the NS_CLIENTATTR_RECURSING attribute remains set.
ns_statscounter_recursclients is decremented (Δ = 0).
3. Query processing restarts.
4. The current QNAME (the target of the CNAME from step 2) is found in
the cache, with a TTL low enough to trigger a prefetch.
5. query_prefetch() attaches to client->recursionquota.
ns_statscounter_recursclients is not incremented because
query_prefetch() does not do that (Δ = 0).
6. Query processing restarts.
7. The current QNAME (the target of the CNAME from step 4) is not found
in the cache, so recursion is started. client->recursionquota is
already attached to (since step 5) and the NS_CLIENTATTR_RECURSING
attribute is set (since step 1), so ns_statscounter_recursclients is
not incremented (Δ = 0).
8. The prefetch from step 5 completes. client->recursionquota is
detached from in prefetch_done(). ns_statscounter_recursclients is
not decremented because prefetch_done() does not do that (Δ = 0).
9. Recursion for the current QNAME completes. client->recursionquota
is already detached from, i.e. set to NULL (since step 8), and the
NS_CLIENTATTR_RECURSING attribute is set (since step 1), so
ns_statscounter_recursclients is decremented (Δ = -1).
Another possible scenario is that after step 7, recursion for the target
of the CNAME from step 4 completes before the prefetch for the CNAME
itself. fetch_callback() then notices that client->recursionquota is
non-NULL and decrements ns_statscounter_recursclients, even though
client->recursionquota was attached to by query_prefetch() and therefore
not accompanied by an incrementation of ns_statscounter_recursclients.
The net result is also an underflow.
Instead of trying to properly handle all possible orderings of events
set into motion by normal recursion and prefetch-triggered recursion,
adjust ns_statscounter_recursclients whenever the recursive clients
quota is successfully attached to or detached from. Remove the
NS_CLIENTATTR_RECURSING attribute altogether as its only purpose is made
obsolete by this change.
The keep-response-order option has been obsoleted, and in this commit,
remove the keep-response-order ACL map rendering the option no-op, the
call the isc_nm_sequential() and the now unused isc_nm_sequential()
function itself.
While refactoring the lib/ns/xfrout.c, it was discovered that .shutdown
and .shutdown_arg members of ns_client_t structure are unused.
Remove the unused members and associated code that was using in it in
the ns_xfrout.
This commit converts the license handling to adhere to the REUSE
specification. It specifically:
1. Adds used licnses to LICENSES/ directory
2. Add "isc" template for adding the copyright boilerplate
3. Changes all source files to include copyright and SPDX license
header, this includes all the C sources, documentation, zone files,
configuration files. There are notes in the doc/dev/copyrights file
on how to add correct headers to the new files.
4. Handle the rest that can't be modified via .reuse/dep5 file. The
binary (or otherwise unmodifiable) files could have license places
next to them in <foo>.license file, but this would lead to cluttered
repository and most of the files handled in the .reuse/dep5 file are
system test files.
Using the TLS context cache for server-side contexts could reduce the
number of contexts to initialise in the configurations when e.g. the
same 'tls' entry is used in multiple 'listen-on' statements for the
same DNS transport, binding to multiple IP addresses.
In such a case, only one TLS context will be created, instead of a
context per IP address, which could reduce the initialisation time, as
initialising even a non-ephemeral TLS context introduces some delay,
which can be *visually* noticeable by log activity.
Also, this change lays down a foundation for Mutual TLS (when the
server validates a client certificate, additionally to a client
validating the server), as the TLS context cache can be extended to
store additional data required for validation (like intermediates CA
chain).
Additionally to the above, the change ensures that the contexts are
not being changed after initialisation, as such a practice is frowned
upon. Previously we would set the supported ALPN tags within
isc_nm_listenhttp() and isc_nm_listentlsdns(). We do not do that for
client-side contexts, so that appears to be an overlook. Now we set
the supported ALPN tags right after server-side contexts creation,
similarly how we do for client-side ones.
reference counting of ns_interface objects has not been used
since the clientmgr cleanup in #2433, and it no longer really
makes sense now - when we want to destroy an interface on a
rescan, we want it to be destroyed, not kept active by some
other caller. so ns_interface_attach() has been removed,
ns_interface_detach() has been replaced with a static
interface_destroy(), and do_scan() has been simplified
accordingly.
previously, if "listen-on-v6" was set to "none", then every
time a scan saw an IPv6 address it would appear to be a new
one. this commit retains all known interfaces in a list
and sets a flag in the ones that are listening, so that
configured interfaces that have been seen before will be
recognized as such.
as an incidental fix, the ns__interfacemgr_getif() and _nextif()
functions have been removed since they were never used.
The 850e9e59bf8c29f895a981211c72c0b3c294bcfd commit intended to recreate
the HTTPS and TLS interfaces during reconfiguration, but they are being
recreated also during regular interface re-scans.
Make sure the HTTPS and TLS interfaces are being recreated only during
reconfiguration.
Add a new parameter to 'ns_client_t' to store potential extended DNS
error. Reset when the client request ends, or is put back.
Add defines for all well-known info-codes.
Update the number of DNS_EDNSOPTIONS that we are willing to set.
Create a new function to set the extended error for a client reply.
Some of the libns unit tests override the isc_nmhandle_attach() and
_detach() functions. This causes a failure in ns_interface_create()
if a route socket is being used, so we add a parameter to disable it.
Unify the header guard style and replace the inconsistent include guards
with #pragma once.
The #pragma once is widely and very well supported in all compilers that
BIND 9 supports, and #pragma once was already in use in several new or
refactored headers.
Using simpler method will also allow us to automate header guard checks
as this is simpler to programatically check.
For reference, here are the reasons for the change taken from
Wikipedia[1]:
> In the C and C++ programming languages, #pragma once is a non-standard
> but widely supported preprocessor directive designed to cause the
> current source file to be included only once in a single compilation.
>
> Thus, #pragma once serves the same purpose as include guards, but with
> several advantages, including: less code, avoidance of name clashes,
> and sometimes improvement in compilation speed. On the other hand,
> #pragma once is not necessarily available in all compilers and its
> implementation is tricky and might not always be reliable.

Remove the dynamic registration of result codes. Convert isc_result_t
from unsigned + #defines into 32-bit enum type in grand unified
<isc/result.h> header. Keep the existing values of the result codes
even at the expense of the description and identifier tables being
unnecessary large.
Additionally, add couple of:
switch (result) {
[...]
default:
break;
}
statements where compiler now complains about missing enum values in the
switch statement.
- Responses received by the dispatch are no longer sent to the caller
via a task event, but via a netmgr-style recv callback. the 'action'
parameter to dns_dispatch_addresponse() is now called 'response' and
is called directly from udp_recv() or tcp_recv() when a valid response
has been received.
- All references to isc_task and isc_taskmgr have been removed from
dispatch functions.
- All references to dns_dispatchevent_t have been removed and the type
has been deleted.
- Added a task to the resolver response context, to be used for fctx
events.
- When the caller cancels an operation, the response handler will be
called with ISC_R_CANCELED; it can abort immediately since the caller
will presumably have taken care of cleanup already.
- Cleaned up attach/detach in resquery and request.
Continuing the effort to move all uses of the isc_socket API into
dispatch.c, this commit removes the dns_tcpmsg module entirely, as
dispatch was its only caller, and moves the parts of its functionality
that were being used into the dispatch module.
This code will be removed when we switch to using netmgr TCPDNS.
- style cleanup
- removed NULL checks in places where they are not currently needed
- use isc_refcount for dispatch reference counting
- revised code flow for readability
- remove some #ifdefs that are no longer relevant
- remove unused struct members
- removed unnecessary function parameters
- use C99 struct initialization
This commit adds the ability to enable or disable stateless TLS
session resumption tickets (see RFC5077). Having this ability is
twofold.
Firstly, these tickets are encrypted by the server, and the algorithm
might be weaker than the algorithm negotiated during the TLS session
establishment (it is in general the case for TLSv1.2, but the generic
principle applies to TLSv1.3 as well, despite it having better ciphers
for session tickets). Thus, they might compromise Perfect Forward
Secrecy.
Secondly, disabling it might be necessary if the same TLS key/cert
pair is supposed to be used by multiple servers to achieve, e.g., load
balancing because the session ticket by default gets generated in
runtime, while to achieve successful session resumption ability, in
this case, would have required using a shared key.
The proper alternative to having the ability to disable stateless TLS
session resumption tickets is to implement a proper session tickets
key rollover mechanism so that key rotation might be performed
often (e.g. once an hour) to not compromise forward secrecy while
retaining the associated performance benefits. That is much more work,
though. On the other hand, having the ability to disable session
tickets allows having a deployable configuration right now in the
cases when either forward secrecy is wanted or sharing the TLS
key/cert pair between multiple servers is needed (or both).
This commit adds support for enforcing the preference of server
ciphers over the client ones. This way, the server attains control
over the ciphers priority and, thus, can choose more strong cyphers
when a client prioritises less strong ciphers over the more strong
ones, which is beneficial when trying to achieve Perfect Forward
Secrecy.
This commit adds support for setting TLS cipher list string in the
format specified in the OpenSSL
documentation (https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man1/ciphers.html).
The syntax of the cipher list is verified so that specifying the wrong
string will prevent the configuration from being loaded.
This commit adds support for loading DH-parameters (Diffie-Hellman
parameters) via the new "dhparam-file" option within "tls" clause. In
particular, Diffie-Hellman parameters are needed to enable the range
of forward-secrecy enabled cyphers for TLSv1.2, which are getting
silently disabled otherwise.
This commit adds the ability to specify allowed TLS protocols versions
within the "tls" clause. If an unsupported TLS protocol version is
specified in a file, the configuration file will not pass
verification.
Also, this commit adds strict checks for "tls" clauses verification,
in particular:
- it ensures that loading configuration files containing duplicated
"tls" clauses is not allowed;
- it ensures that loading configuration files containing "tls" clauses
missing "cert-file" or "key-file" is not allowed;
- it ensures that loading configuration files containing "tls" clauses
named as "ephemeral" or "none" is not allowed.
Previously, named would run with a configuration
where *-source-v6 (notify-source-v6, transfer-source-v6 and
query-source-v6) address and port could be simultaneously used for
listening. This is no longer true for BIND 9.16+ and the code that
would do interface adjustments would unexpectedly disable listening on
TCP for such interfaces.
This commit removes the code that would adjust listening interfaces
for addresses/ports configured in *-source-v6 option.
The additional processing method has been expanded to take the
owner name of the record, as HTTPS and SVBC need it to process "."
in service form.
The additional section callback can now return the RRset that was
added. We use this when adding CNAMEs. Previously, the recursion
would stop if it detected that a record you added already exists. With
CNAMEs this rule doesn't work, as you ultimately care about the RRset
at the target of the CNAME and not the presence of the CNAME itself.
Returning the record allows the caller to restart with the target
name. As CNAMEs can form loops, loop protection was added.
As HTTPS and SVBC can produce infinite chains, we prevent this by
tracking recursion depth and stopping if we go too deep.
This commit makes number of concurrent HTTP/2 streams per connection
configurable as a mean to fight DDoS attacks. As soon as the limit is
reached, BIND terminates the whole session.
The commit adds a global configuration
option (http-streams-per-connection) which can be overridden in an
http <name> {...} statement like follows:
http local-http-server {
...
streams-per-connection 100;
...
};
For now the default value is 100, which should be enough (e.g. NGINX
uses 128, but it is a full-featured WEB-server). When using lower
numbers (e.g. ~70), it is possible to hit the limit with
e.g. flamethrower.
This commit adds support for http-listener-clients global options as
well as ability to override the default in an HTTP server description,
like:
http local-http-server {
...
listener-clients 100;
...
};
This way we have ability to specify per-listener active connections
quota globally and then override it when required. This is exactly
what AT&T requested us: they wanted a functionality to specify quota
globally and then override it for specific IPs. This change
functionality makes such a configuration possible.
It makes sense: for example, one could have different quotas for
internal and external clients. Or, for example, one could use BIND's
internal ability to serve encrypted DoH with some sane quota value for
internal clients, while having un-encrypted DoH listener without quota
to put BIND behind a load balancer doing TLS offloading for external
clients.
Moreover, the code no more shares the quota with TCP, which makes
little sense anyway (see tcp-clients option), because of the nature of
interaction of DoH clients: they tend to keep idle opened connections
for longer periods of time, preventing the TCP and TLS client from
being served. Thus, the need to have a separate, generally larger,
quota for them.
Also, the change makes any option within "http <name> { ... };"
statement optional, making it easier to override only required default
options.
By default, the DoH connections are limited to 300 per listener. I
hope that it is a good initial guesstimate.
The isc/platform.h header was left empty which things either already
moved to config.h or to appropriate headers. This is just the final
cleanup commit.
The Windows support has been completely removed from the source tree
and BIND 9 now no longer supports native compilation on Windows.
We might consider reviewing mingw-w64 port if contributed by external
party, but no development efforts will be put into making BIND 9 compile
and run on Windows again.
when a serve-stale answer has been sent, the client continues waiting
for a proper answer. if a final completion event for the client does
arrive, it can just be cleaned up without sending a response, similar
to a canceled fetch.
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.
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.
The stale-answer-client-timeout feature introduced a dependancy on
when a client may be detached from the handle. The dboption
DNS_DBFIND_STALEONLY was reused to track this attribute. This overloads
the meaning of this database option, and actually introduced a bug
because the option was checked in other places. In particular, in
'ns_query_done()' there is a check for 'RECURSING(qctx->client) &&
(!QUERY_STALEONLY(&qctx->client->query) || ...' and the condition is
satisfied because recursion has not completed yet and
DNS_DBFIND_STALEONLY is already cleared by that time (in
query_lookup()), because we found a useful answer and we should detach
the client from the handle after sending the response.
Add a new boolean to the client structure to keep track of client
detach from handle is allowed or not. It is only disallowed if we are
in a staleonly lookup and we didn't found a useful answer.
