All databases in the codebase follow the same structure: a database is
an associative container from DNS names to nodes, and each node is an
associative container from RR types to RR data.
Each database implementation (qpzone, qpcache, sdlz, builtin, dyndb) has
its own corresponding node type (qpznode, qpcnode, etc). However, some
code needs to work with nodes generically regardless of their specific
type - for example, to acquire locks, manage references, or
register/unregister slabs from the heap.
Currently, these generic node operations are implemented as methods in
the database vtable, which creates problematic coupling between database
and node lifetimes. If a node outlives its parent database, the node
destructor will destroy all RR data, and each RR data destructor will
try to unregister from heaps by calling a virtual function from the
database vtable. Since the database was already freed, this causes a
crash.
This commit breaks the coupling by standardizing the layout of all
database nodes, adding a dedicated vtable for node operations, and
moving node-specific methods from the database vtable to the node
vtable.
There is only a single network manager running on top of the loop
manager (except for tests). Refactor the network manager to be a
singleton (a single instance) and change the unit tests, so that the
shorter read timeouts apply only to a specific handle, not the whole
extra 'connect_nm' network manager instance.
All the applications built on top of the loop manager were required to
create just a single instance of the loop manager. Refactor the loop
manager to not expose this instance to the callers and keep the loop
manager object internal to the isc_loop compilation unit.
This significantly simplifies a number of data structures and calls to
the isc_loop API.
previously, ISC_LIST_FOREACH and ISC_LIST_FOREACH_SAFE were
two separate macros, with the _SAFE version allowing entries
to be unlinked during the loop. ISC_LIST_FOREACH is now also
safe, and the separate _SAFE macro has been removed.
similarly, the ISC_LIST_FOREACH_REV macro is now safe, and
ISC_LIST_FOREACH_REV_SAFE has also been removed.
use the ISC_LIST_FOREACH pattern in places where lists had
been iterated using a different pattern from the typical
`for` loop: for example, `while (!ISC_LIST_EMPTY(...))` or
`while ((e = ISC_LIST_HEAD(...)) != NULL)`.
ISC_LIST_FOREACH and related macros now use 'typeof(list.head)' to
declare the list elements automatically; the caller no longer needs
to do so.
ISC_LIST_FOREACH_SAFE also now implicitly declares its own 'next'
pointer, so it only needs three parameters instead of four.
In the code base it is very common to iterate over all names in a message
section and all rdatasets for each name, but various idioms are used for
iteration.
This commit standardizes them as much as possible to a single idiom,
using the macro MSG_SECTION_FOREACH, similar to the existing
ISC_LIST_FOREACH.
the target buffer passed to dns_name_concatenate() was never
used (except for one place in dig, where it wasn't actually
needed, and has already been removed in a prior commit).
we can safely remove the parameter.
The isc_counter_create() doesn't need the return value (it was always
ISC_R_SUCCESS), use the macros to implement the reference counting,
little style cleanup, and expand the unit test.
Instead of mixing the dns_resolver and dns_validator units directly with
the EDE code, split-out the dns_ede functionality into own separate
compilation unit and hide the implementation details behind abstraction.
Additionally, the EDE codes are directly copied into the ns_client
buffers by passing the EDE context to dns_resolver_createfetch().
This makes the dns_ede implementation simpler to use, although sligtly
more complicated on the inside.

the isc_mem allocation functions can no longer fail; as a result,
ISC_R_NOMEMORY is now rarely used: only when an external library
such as libjson-c or libfstrm could return NULL. (even in
these cases, arguably we should assert rather than returning
ISC_R_NOMEMORY.)
code and comments that mentioned ISC_R_NOMEMORY have been
cleaned up, and the following functions have been changed to
type void, since (in most cases) the only value they could
return was ISC_R_SUCCESS:
- dns_dns64_create()
- dns_dyndb_create()
- dns_ipkeylist_resize()
- dns_kasp_create()
- dns_kasp_key_create()
- dns_keystore_create()
- dns_order_create()
- dns_order_add()
- dns_peerlist_new()
- dns_tkeyctx_create()
- dns_view_create()
- dns_zone_setorigin()
- dns_zone_setfile()
- dns_zone_setstream()
- dns_zone_getdbtype()
- dns_zone_setjournal()
- dns_zone_setkeydirectory()
- isc_lex_openstream()
- isc_portset_create()
- isc_symtab_create()
(the exception is dns_view_create(), which could have returned
other error codes in the event of a crypto library failure when
calling isc_file_sanitize(), but that should be a RUNTIME_CHECK
anyway.)
Add support for Extended DNS Errors (EDE) error 22: No reachable
authority. This occurs when after a timeout delay when the resolver is
trying to query an authority server.
Instead of cleaning the dns_badcache opportunistically, add per-loop
LRU, so each thread-loop can clean the expired entries. This also
allows removal of the atomic operations as the badcache entries are now
immutable, instead of updating the badcache entry in place, the old
entry is now deleted from the hashtable and the LRU list, and the new
entry is inserted in the LRU.
MAX_RESTARTS is no longer hard-coded; ns_server_setmaxrestarts()
and dns_client_setmaxrestarts() can now be used to modify the
max-restarts value at runtime. in both cases, the default is 11.
the number of steps that can be followed in a CNAME chain
before terminating the lookup has been reduced from 16 to 11.
(this is a hard-coded value, but will be made configurable later.)
if we had a method to get the running loop, similar to how
isc_tid() gets the current thread ID, we can simplify loop
and loopmgr initialization.
remove most uses of isc_loop_current() in favor of isc_loop().
in some places where that was the only reason to pass loopmgr,
remove loopmgr from the function parameters.
by default, QPDB is the database used by named and all tools and
unit tests. the old default of RBTDB can now be restored by using
"configure --with-zonedb=rbt --with-cachedb=rbt".
some tests have been fixed so they will work correctly with either
database.
CHANGES and release notes have been updated to reflect this change.
replace the string "rbt" throughout BIND with "qp" so that
qpdb databases will be used by default instead of rbtdb.
rbtdb databases can still be used by specifying "database rbt;"
in a zone statement.
Reusing TCP connections with dns_dispatch_gettcp() used linear linked
list to lookup existing outgoing TCP connections that could be reused.
Replace the linked list with per-loop cds_lfht hashtable to speedup the
lookups. We use cds_lfht because it allows non-unique node insertion
that we need to check for dispatches in different connection states.
Instead of high number of dispatches (4 * named_g_udpdisp)[1], make the
dispatches bound to threads and make dns_dispatchset_t create a dispatch
for each thread (event loop).
This required couple of other changes:
1. The dns_dispatch_createudp() must be called on loop, so the isc_tid()
is already initialized - changes to nsupdate and mdig were required.
2. The dns_requestmgr had only a single dispatch per v4 and v6. Instead
of using single dispatch, use dns_dispatchset_t for each protocol -
this is same as dns_resolver.
The dns_dispatchmgr object was only set in the dns_view object making it
prone to use-after-free in the dns_xfrin unit when shutting down named.
Remove dns_view_setdispatchmgr() and optionally pass the dispatchmgr
directly to dns_view_create() when it is attached and not just assigned,
so the dns_dispatchmgr doesn't cease to exist too early.
The dns_view_getdnsdispatchmgr() is now protected by the RCU lock, the
dispatchmgr reference is incremented, so the caller needs to detach from
it, and the function can return NULL in case the dns_view has been
already shut down.
This change makes the zone table lock-free for reads. Previously, the
zone table used a red-black tree, which is not thread safe, so the hot
read path acquired both the per-view mutex and the per-zonetable
rwlock. (The double locking was to fix to cleanup races on shutdown.)
One visible difference is that zones are not necessarily shut down
promptly: it depends on when the qp-trie garbage collector cleans up
the zone table. The `catz` system test checks several times that zones
have been deleted; the test now checks for zones to be removed from
the server configuration, instead of being fully shut down. The catz
test does not churn through enough zones to trigger a gc, so the zones
are not fully detached until the server exits.
After this change, it is still possible to improve the way we handle
changes to the zone table, for instance, batching changes, or better
compaction heuristics.
the new dns_view_addtrustedkey() function allows a view's trust
anchors to be updated directly. this code was formerly in
dns_client_addtrustedkey(), which is now a wrapper around
dns_view_addtrustedkey().
the 'dispatchmgr' member of the resolver object is used by both
the dns_resolver and dns_request modules, and may in the future
be used by others such as dns_xfrin. it doesn't make sense for it
to live in the resolver object; this commit moves it into dns_view.
as there is no further use of isc_task in BIND, this commit removes
it, along with isc_taskmgr, isc_event, and all other related types.
functions that accepted taskmgr as a parameter have been cleaned up.
as a result of this change, some functions can no longer fail, so
they've been changed to type void, and their callers have been
updated accordingly.
the tasks table has been removed from the statistics channel and
the stats version has been updated. dns_dyndbctx has been changed
to reference the loopmgr instead of taskmgr, and DNS_DYNDB_VERSION
has been udpated as well.
callback events from dns_resolver_createfetch() are now posted
using isc_async_run.
other modules which called the resolver and maintained task/taskmgr
objects for this purpose have been cleaned up.
Previously:
* applications were using isc_app as the base unit for running the
application and signal handling.
* networking was handled in the netmgr layer, which would start a
number of threads, each with a uv_loop event loop.
* task/event handling was done in the isc_task unit, which used
netmgr event loops to run the isc_event calls.
In this refactoring:
* the network manager now uses isc_loop instead of maintaining its
own worker threads and event loops.
* the taskmgr that manages isc_task instances now also uses isc_loopmgr,
and every isc_task runs on a specific isc_loop bound to the specific
thread.
* applications have been updated as necessary to use the new API.
* new ISC_LOOP_TEST macros have been added to enable unit tests to
run isc_loop event loops. unit tests have been updated to use this
where needed.
* isc_timer was rewritten using the uv_timer, and isc_timermgr_t was
completely removed; isc_timer objects are now directly created on the
isc_loop event loops.
* the isc_timer API has been simplified. the "inactive" timer type has
been removed; timers are now stopped by calling isc_timer_stop()
instead of resetting to inactive.
* isc_manager now creates a loop manager rather than a timer manager.
* modules and applications using isc_timer have been updated to use the
new API.
We do this by adding callbacks for when a node is added or deleted
from the keytable. dns_keytable_add and dns_keytable_delete where
extended to take a callback. dns_keytable_deletekey does not remove
the node so it was not extended.
It's wasteful to use 20 bytes and a pointer indirection to represent
two bits of information, so turn the struct into an enum. And change
the names of the enumeration constants to make the intent more clear.
This change introduces some inline functions into another header,
which confuses `gcovr` when it is trying to collect code coverage
statistics. So, in the CI job, copy more header files into a directory
where `gcovr` looks for them.
There was a proposal in the late 1990s that it might, but it turned
out to be unworkable. See RFC 6891, Extension Mechanisms for
DNS (EDNS(0)), section 5, Extended Label Types.
The remnants of the code that supported this in BIND are redundant.
Previously, tasks could be created either unbound or bound to a specific
thread (worker loop). The unbound tasks would be assigned to a random
thread every time isc_task_send() was called. Because there's no logic
that would assign the task to the least busy worker, this just creates
unpredictability. Instead of random assignment, bind all the previously
unbound tasks to worker 0, which is guaranteed to exist.
Since the fctx hash table is now self-resizing, and resolver tasks are
selected to match the thread that created the fetch context, there
shouldn't be any significant advantage to having multiple tasks per CPU;
a single task per thread should be sufficient.
Additionally, the fetch context is always pinned to the calling netmgr
thread to minimize the contention just to coalesced fetches - if two
threads starts the same fetch, it will be pinned to the first one to get
the bucket.
