This "quiescent state based reclamation" module provides support for
the qp-trie module in dns/qp. It is a replacement for liburcu, written
without reference to the urcu source code, and in fact it works in a
significantly different way.
A few specifics of BIND make this variant of QSBR somewhat simpler:
* We can require that wait-free access to a qp-trie only happens in
an isc_loop callback. The loop provides a natural quiescent state,
after the callbacks are done, when no qp-trie access occurs.
* We can dispense with any API like rcu_synchronize(). In practice,
it takes far too long to wait for a grace period to elapse for each
write to a data structure.
* We use the idea of "phases" (aka epochs or eras) from EBR to
reduce the amount of bookkeeping needed to track memory that is no
longer needed, knowing that the qp-trie does most of that work
already.
I considered hazard pointers for safe memory reclamation. They have
more read-side overhead (updating the hazard pointers) and it wasn't
clear to me how to nicely schedule the cleanup work. Another
alternative, epoch-based reclamation, is designed for fine-grained
lock-free updates, so it needs some rethinking to work well with the
heavily read-biased design of the qp-trie. QSBR has the fastest read
side of the basic SMR algorithms (with no barriers), and fits well
into a libuv loop. More recent hybrid SMR algorithms do not appear to
have enough benefits to justify the extra complexity.
the isc_glob module was originally needed to support posix-style glob
processing on Windows, but is now just an unnecessary wrapper around
glob(3). this commit removes it.
the parser could crash when "include" specified an empty string in place
of the filename. this has been fixed by returning ISC_R_FILENOTFOUND
when the string length is 0.
Previously, the async job queue would use a locked-list (ISC_LIST).
With introduction of atomic stack (that has to be drained at once), we
could use it to remove some contention between the threads and simplify
the async queue.
Fortunately, the reverse order still works for us - instead of append
and tail/prev operation on the list, we are now using prepend and
head/next operation on the atomic stack.
Add a singly-linked stack that supports lock-free prepend and drain (to
empty the list and clean up its elements). Intended for use with QSBR
to collect objects that need safe memory reclamation, or any other user
that works with adding objects to the stack and then draining them in
one go like various work queues.
In <isc/atomic.h>, add an `atomic_ptr()` macro to make type
declarations a little less abominable, and clean up a duplicate
definition of `atomic_compare_exchange_strong_acq_rel()`
[CVE-2022-3924] Add a reproducer for the serve-stale crash when recursive clients soft quota is reached
Closes#3619
See merge request isc-projects/bind9!7575
Reproduce the assertion by configuring a 'named' resolver with
'recursive-clients 10;' configuration option and running 20
queries is parallel.
Also tweak the 'ans2/ans.pl' to simulate a 50ms network latency
when qname starts with "latency". This makes sure that queries
running in parallel don't get served immediately, thus allowing
the configured recursive clients quota limitation to be activated.
removed references in code comments, doc/dev documentation, etc, to
isc_task, isc_timer_reset(), and isc_timertype_inactive. also removed a
coccinelle patch related to isc_timer_reset() that was no longer needed.
instead of using the SDB API as a wrapper to register and
unregister and provide a call framework for the builtin databases,
this commit flattens things so that the builtin databases implement
dns_db directly.
move all dns_sdb code into bin/named/builtin.c, which is the
only place from which it's called.
(note this is temporary: later we'll refactor builtin so that it's a
standalone dns_db implementation on its own instead of using SDB
as a wrapper.)
move database attach/detach functions to db.c, instead of
requiring them to be implemented for every database type.
instead, they must implement a 'destroy' function that is
called when references go to zero.
this enables us to use ISC_REFCOUNT_IMPL for databases,
with detailed tracing enabled by setting DNS_DB_TRACE to 1.
SDB is currently (and foreseeably) only used by the named
builtin databases, so it only needs as much of its API as
those databases use.
- removed three flags defined for the SDB API that were always
set the same by builtin databases.
- there were two different types of lookup functions defined for
SDB, using slightly different function signatures. since backward
compatibility is no longer a concern, we can eliminate the 'lookup'
entry point and rename 'lookup2' to 'lookup'.
- removed the 'allnodes' entry point and all database iterator
implementation code
- removed dns_sdb_putnamedrr() and dns_sdb_putnamedrdata() since
they were never used.
initialize dns_dbmethods, dns_sdbmethods and dns_rdatasetmethods
using explicit struct member names, so we don't have to keep track
of NULLs for unimplemented functions any longer.
some dns_db functions would have crashed if the DB implementation failed
to implement them, requiring the implementations to add functions that
did nothing but return ISC_R_NOTIMPLEMENTED or some obvious default
value. we can just have the dns_db wrapper functions themselves return
those values, and clean up the implementations accordingly.
make the private isc__rdatalist_* functions public dns_rdatalist
functions so that all the rdatalist primitives can be used by
callers to libdns. (this will be needed later for moving SDB and
SDLZ out of libdns.)
This was causing 'CID 436299: Null pointer dereferences (REVERSE_INULL)'
in Coverity. Also removed an 'INSIST(fctx != NULL);' that should
no longer be needed.
When switching to a new view during a reconfiguration (or reverting
to the old view), detach the 'rpzs' and 'catzs' from the previuos view.
The 'catzs' case was earlier solved slightly differently, by detaching
from the new view when reverting to the old view, but we can not solve
this the same way for 'rpzs', because now in BIND 9.19 and BIND 9.18
a dns_rpz_shutdown_rpzs() call was added in view's destroy() function
before detaching the 'rpzs', so we can not leave the 'rpzs' attached to
the previous view and let it be shut down when we intend to continue
using it with the new view.
Instead, "re-fix" the issue for the 'catzs' pointer the same way as
for 'rpzs' for consistency, and also because a similar shutdown call
is likely to be implemented for 'catzs' in the near future.
this function was just a front-end for gethostname(). it was
needed when we supported windows, which has a different function
for looking up the hostname; it's not needed any longer.
as every validator function is loop-synchronized, it should no longer be
necessary to use a validator lock.
calling dns_validator_send(), dns_validator_cancel() or
dns_validator_destroy() from a thread other than the one on which the
validator is running will now cause an assertion failure; this should be
fine since the validator and resolver are tightly coupled, and the fetch
contexts and validators run in the same loops.
