After turning the users callbacks to be asynchronous, there was a
visible performance drop. This commit prevents the unnecessary
allocations while keeping the code paths same for both asynchronous and
synchronous calls.
The same change was done to the isc__nm_udp_{read,send} as those two
functions are in the hot path.
This is a part of the works that intends to make the netmgr stable,
testable, maintainable and tested. It contains a numerous changes to
the netmgr code and unfortunately, it was not possible to split this
into smaller chunks as the work here needs to be committed as a complete
works.
NOTE: There's a quite a lot of duplicated code between udp.c, tcp.c and
tcpdns.c and it should be a subject to refactoring in the future.
The changes that are included in this commit are listed here
(extensively, but not exclusively):
* The netmgr_test unit test was split into individual tests (udp_test,
tcp_test, tcpdns_test and newly added tcp_quota_test)
* The udp_test and tcp_test has been extended to allow programatic
failures from the libuv API. Unfortunately, we can't use cmocka
mock() and will_return(), so we emulate the behaviour with #define and
including the netmgr/{udp,tcp}.c source file directly.
* The netievents that we put on the nm queue have variable number of
members, out of these the isc_nmsocket_t and isc_nmhandle_t always
needs to be attached before enqueueing the netievent_<foo> and
detached after we have called the isc_nm_async_<foo> to ensure that
the socket (handle) doesn't disappear between scheduling the event and
actually executing the event.
* Cancelling the in-flight TCP connection using libuv requires to call
uv_close() on the original uv_tcp_t handle which just breaks too many
assumptions we have in the netmgr code. Instead of using uv_timer for
TCP connection timeouts, we use platform specific socket option.
* Fix the synchronization between {nm,async}_{listentcp,tcpconnect}
When isc_nm_listentcp() or isc_nm_tcpconnect() is called it was
waiting for socket to either end up with error (that path was fine) or
to be listening or connected using condition variable and mutex.
Several things could happen:
0. everything is ok
1. the waiting thread would miss the SIGNAL() - because the enqueued
event would be processed faster than we could start WAIT()ing.
In case the operation would end up with error, it would be ok, as
the error variable would be unchanged.
2. the waiting thread miss the sock->{connected,listening} = `true`
would be set to `false` in the tcp_{listen,connect}close_cb() as
the connection would be so short lived that the socket would be
closed before we could even start WAIT()ing
* The tcpdns has been converted to using libuv directly. Previously,
the tcpdns protocol used tcp protocol from netmgr, this proved to be
very complicated to understand, fix and make changes to. The new
tcpdns protocol is modeled in a similar way how tcp netmgr protocol.
Closes: #2194, #2283, #2318, #2266, #2034, #1920
* The tcp and tcpdns is now not using isc_uv_import/isc_uv_export to
pass accepted TCP sockets between netthreads, but instead (similar to
UDP) uses per netthread uv_loop listener. This greatly reduces the
complexity as the socket is always run in the associated nm and uv
loops, and we are also not touching the libuv internals.
There's an unfortunate side effect though, the new code requires
support for load-balanced sockets from the operating system for both
UDP and TCP (see #2137). If the operating system doesn't support the
load balanced sockets (either SO_REUSEPORT on Linux or SO_REUSEPORT_LB
on FreeBSD 12+), the number of netthreads is limited to 1.
* The netmgr has now two debugging #ifdefs:
1. Already existing NETMGR_TRACE prints any dangling nmsockets and
nmhandles before triggering assertion failure. This options would
reduce performance when enabled, but in theory, it could be enabled
on low-performance systems.
2. New NETMGR_TRACE_VERBOSE option has been added that enables
extensive netmgr logging that allows the software engineer to
precisely track any attach/detach operations on the nmsockets and
nmhandles. This is not suitable for any kind of production
machine, only for debugging.
* The tlsdns netmgr protocol has been split from the tcpdns and it still
uses the old method of stacking the netmgr boxes on top of each other.
We will have to refactor the tlsdns netmgr protocol to use the same
approach - build the stack using only libuv and openssl.
* Limit but not assert the tcp buffer size in tcp_alloc_cb
Closes: #2061
When calling the high level netmgr functions, the callback would be
sometimes called synchronously if we catch the failure directly, or
asynchronously if it happens later. The synchronous call to the
callback could create deadlocks as the caller would not expect the
failed callback to be executed directly.
Add server-side TLS support to netmgr - that includes moving some of the
isc_nm_ functions from tcp.c to a wrapper in netmgr.c calling a proper
tcp or tls function, and a new isc_nm_listentls() function.
Add DoT support to tcpdns - isc_nm_listentlsdns().
socket() call can return an error - e.g. EMFILE, so we need to handle
this nicely and not crash.
Additionally wrap the socket() call inside a platform independent helper
function as the Socket data type on Windows is unsigned integer:
> This means, for example, that checking for errors when the socket and
> accept functions return should not be done by comparing the return
> value with –1, or seeing if the value is negative (both common and
> legal approaches in UNIX). Instead, an application should use the
> manifest constant INVALID_SOCKET as defined in the Winsock2.h header
> file.
this function sets the read timeout for the socket associated
with a netmgr handle and, if the timer is running, resets it.
for TCPDNS sockets it also sets the read timeout and resets the
timer on the outer TCP socket.
There were more races that could happen while connecting to a
socket while closing or shutting down the same socket. This
commit introduces a .closing flag to guard the socket from
being closed twice.
There was a data race where a new event could be scheduled after
isc__nm_async_shutdown() had cleaned up all the dangling UDP/TCP
sockets from the loop.
- don't bother closing sockets that are already closing.
- UDP read timeout timer was not stopped after reading.
- improve handling of TCP connection failures.
- isc_nm_tcpdnsconnect() sets up up an outgoing TCP DNS connection.
- isc_nm_tcpconnect(), _udpconnect() and _tcpdnsconnect() now take a
timeout argument to ensure connections time out and are correctly
cleaned up on failure.
- isc_nm_read() now supports UDP; it reads a single datagram and then
stops until the next time it's called.
- isc_nm_cancelread() now runs asynchronously to prevent assertion
failure if reading is interrupted by a non-network thread (e.g.
a timeout).
- isc_nm_cancelread() can now apply to UDP sockets.
- added shim code to support UDP connection in versions of libuv
prior to 1.27, when uv_udp_connect() was added
all these functions will be used to support outgoing queries in dig,
xfrin, dispatch, etc.
1. The isc__nm_tcp_send() and isc__nm_tcp_read() was not checking
whether the socket was still alive and scheduling reads/sends on
closed socket.
2. The isc_nm_read(), isc_nm_send() and isc_nm_resumeread() have been
changed to always return the error conditions via the callbacks, so
they always succeed. This applies to all protocols (UDP, TCP and
TCPDNS).
isc_nmhandle_detach() needs to complete in the same thread
as shutdown_walk_cb() to avoid a race. Clear the caller's
pointer then pass control to the worker if necessary.

If we clone the csock (children socket) in TCP accept_connection()
instead of passing the ssock (server socket) to the call back and
cloning it there we unbreak the assumption that every socket is handled
inside it's own worker thread and therefore we can get rid of (at least)
callback locking.
The isc__nm_tcpdns_stoplistening() would call isc__nmsocket_clearcb()
that would clear the .accept_cb from non-netmgr thread. Change the
tcpdns_stoplistening to enqueue ievent that would get processed in the
right netmgr thread to avoid locking.
The SO_REUSEADDR, SO_REUSEPORT and SO_REUSEPORT_LB has different meaning
on different platform. In this commit, we split the function to set the
reuse of address/port and setting the load-balancing into separate
functions.
The libuv library already have multiplatform support for setting
SO_REUSEADDR and SO_REUSEPORT that allows binding to the same address
and port, but unfortunately, when used after the load-balancing socket
options have been already set, it overrides the previous setting, so we
need our own helper function to enable the SO_REUSEADDR/SO_REUSEPORT
first and then enable the load-balancing socket option.
On POSIX based systems both uv_os_sock_t and uv_os_fd_t are both typedef
to int. That's not true on Windows, where uv_os_sock_t is SOCKET and
uv_os_fd_t is HANDLE and they differ in level of indirection.
The isc__nm_socket_freebind() has been refactored to match other
isc__nm_socket_...() helper functions and take uv_os_fd_t and
sa_family_t as function arguments.
The isc_nm_pause(), isc_nm_resume() and finishing the nm_thread() from
nm_destroy() has been refactored, so all use the netievents instead of
directly touching the worker structure members. This allows us to
remove most of the locking as the .paused and .finished members are
always accessed from the matching nm_thread.
When shutting down the nm_thread(), instead of issuing uv_stop(), we
just shutdown the .async handler, so all uv_loop_t events are properly
finished first and uv_run() ends gracefully with no outstanding active
handles in the loop.
If NETMGR_TRACE is defined, we now maintain a list of active sockets
in the netmgr object and a list of active handles in each socket
object; by walking the list and printing `backtrace` in a debugger
we can see where they were created, to assist in in debugging of
reference counting errors.
On shutdown, if netmgr finds there are still active sockets after
waiting, isc__nm_dump_active() will be called to log the list of
active sockets and their underlying handles, along with some details
about them.
if more than 10 seconds pass while we wait for netmgr events to
finish running on shutdown, something is almost certainly wrong
and we should assert and crash.
Attaching and detaching handle pointers will make it easier to
determine where and why reference counting errors have occurred.
A handle needs to be referenced more than once when multiple
asynchronous operations are in flight, so callers must now maintain
multiple handle pointers for each pending operation. For example,
ns_client objects now contain:
- reqhandle: held while waiting for a request callback (query,
notify, update)
- sendhandle: held while waiting for a send callback
- fetchhandle: held while waiting for a recursive fetch to
complete
- updatehandle: held while waiting for an update-forwarding
task to complete
control channel connection objects now contain:
- readhandle: held while waiting for a read callback
- sendhandle: held while waiting for a send callback
- cmdhandle: held while an rndc command is running
httpd connections contain:
- readhandle: held while waiting for a read callback
- sendhandle: held while waiting for a send callback
- rename isc_nmsocket_t->tcphandle to statichandle
- cancelread functions now take handles instead of sockets
- add a 'client' flag in socket objects, currently unused, to
indicate whether it is to be used as a client or server socket
Each worker has a receive buffer with space for 20 DNS messages of up
to 2^16 bytes each, and the allocator function passed to uv_read_start()
or uv_udp_recv_start() will reserve a portion of it for use by sockets.
UDP can use recvmmsg() and so it needs that entire space, but TCP reads
one message at a time.
This commit introduces separate allocator functions for TCP and UDP
setting different buffer size limits, so that libuv will provide the
correct buffer sizes to each of them.
When a new IPv6 interface/address appears it's first in a tentative
state - in which we cannot bind to it, yet it's already being reported
by the route socket. Because of that BIND9 is unable to listen on any
newly detected IPv6 addresses. Fix it by setting IP_FREEBIND option (or
equivalent option on other OSes) and then retrying bind() call.
We erroneously tried to destroy a socket after issuing
isc__nm_tcp{,dns}_close. Under some (race) circumstances we could get
nm_socket_cleanup to be called twice for the same socket, causing an
access to a dead memory.
isc__nm_tcpdns_send() was not asynchronous and accessed socket
internal fields in an unsafe manner, which could lead to a race
condition and subsequent crash. Fix it by moving tcpdns processing
to a proper netmgr thread.
We need to mark the socket as inactive early (and synchronously)
in the stoplistening process; otherwise we might destroy the
callback argument before we actually stop listening, and call
the callback on bad memory.
The isc_nm_cancelread() function cancels reading on a connected
socket and calls its read callback function with a 'result'
parameter of ISC_R_CANCELED.
when isc_nm_destroy() is called, there's a loop that waits for
other references to be detached, pausing and unpausing the netmgr
to ensure that all the workers' events are run, followed by a
1-second sleep. this caused a delay on shutdown which will be
noticeable when netmgr is used in tools other than named itself,
so the delay has now been reduced to a hundredth of a second.
the isc_nm_tcpconnect() function establishes a client connection via
TCP. once the connection is esablished, a callback function will be
called with a newly created network manager handle.
A TCPDNS socket creates a handle for each complete DNS message.
Previously, when all the handles were disconnected, the socket
would be closed, but the wrapped TCP socket might still have
more to read.
Now, when a connection is established, the TCPDNS socket creates
a reference to itself by attaching itself to sock->self. This
reference isn't cleared until the connection is closed via
EOF, timeout, or server shutdown. This allows the socket to remain
open even when there are no active handles for it.
- isc__nmhandle_get() now attaches to the sock in the nmhandle object.
the caller is responsible for dereferencing the original socket
pointer when necessary.
- tcpdns listener sockets attach sock->outer to the outer tcp listener
socket. tcpdns connected sockets attach sock->outerhandle to the handle
for the tcp connected socket.
- only listener sockets need to be attached/detached directly. connected
sockets should only be accessed and reference-counted via their
associated handles.
there is no need for a caller to reference-count socket objects.
they need tto be able tto close listener sockets (i.e., those
returned by isc_nm_listen{udp,tcp,tcpdns}), and an isc_nmsocket_close()
function has been added for that. other sockets are only accessed via
handles.
The ThreadSanitizer uses system synchronization primitives to check for
data race. The netmgr handle->references was missing acquire memory
barrier before resetting and reusing the memory occupied by isc_nmhandle_t.
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.
