Return value of dns_db_getservestalerefresh() and
dns_db_getservestalettl() functions were previously unhandled.
This commit purposefully ignore those return values since there is
no side effect if those results are != ISC_R_SUCCESS, it also supress
Coverity warnings.
previously query plugins were strictly synchrounous - the query
process would be interrupted at some point, data would be looked
up or a change would be made, and then the query processing would
resume immediately.
this commit enables query plugins to initiate asynchronous processes
and resume on a completion event, as with recursion.
several small changes to query processing to make it easier to
use hook-based recursion (and other asynchronous functionlity)
later.
- recursion quota check is now a separate function,
check_recursionquota(), which is called by ns_query_recurse().
- pass isc_result to query_nxdomain() instead of bool.
the value of 'empty_wild' will be determined in the function
based on the passed result. this is similar to query_nodata(),
and makes the signatures of the two functions more consistent.
- pass the current 'result' value into plugin hooks.
Before this update, BIND would attempt to do a full recursive resolution
process for each query received if the requested rrset had its ttl
expired. If the resolution fails for any reason, only then BIND would
check for stale rrset in cache (if 'stale-cache-enable' and
'stale-answer-enable' is on).
The problem with this approach is that if an authoritative server is
unreachable or is failing to respond, it is very unlikely that the
problem will be fixed in the next seconds.
A better approach to improve performance in those cases, is to mark the
moment in which a resolution failed, and if new queries arrive for that
same rrset, try to respond directly from the stale cache, and do that
for a window of time configured via 'stale-refresh-time'.
Only when this interval expires we then try to do a normal refresh of
the rrset.
The logic behind this commit is as following:
- In query.c / query_gotanswer(), if the test of 'result' variable falls
to the default case, an error is assumed to have happened, and a call
to 'query_usestale()' is made to check if serving of stale rrset is
enabled in configuration.
- If serving of stale answers is enabled, a flag will be turned on in
the query context to look for stale records:
query.c:6839
qctx->client->query.dboptions |= DNS_DBFIND_STALEOK;
- A call to query_lookup() will be made again, inside it a call to
'dns_db_findext()' is made, which in turn will invoke rbdb.c /
cache_find().
- In rbtdb.c / cache_find() the important bits of this change is the
call to 'check_stale_header()', which is a function that yields true
if we should skip the stale entry, or false if we should consider it.
- In check_stale_header() we now check if the DNS_DBFIND_STALEOK option
is set, if that is the case we know that this new search for stale
records was made due to a failure in a normal resolution, so we keep
track of the time in which the failured occured in rbtdb.c:4559:
header->last_refresh_fail_ts = search->now;
- In check_stale_header(), if DNS_DBFIND_STALEOK is not set, then we
know this is a normal lookup, if the record is stale and the query
time is between last failure time + stale-refresh-time window, then
we return false so cache_find() knows it can consider this stale
rrset entry to return as a response.
The last additions are two new methods to the database interface:
- setservestale_refresh
- getservestale_refresh
Those were added so rbtdb can be aware of the value set in configuration
option, since in that level we have no access to the view object.
The typical sequence of events for AAAA queries which trigger recursion
for an A RRset at the same name is as follows:
1. Original query context is created.
2. An AAAA RRset is found in cache.
3. Client-specific data is allocated from the filter-aaaa memory pool.
4. Recursion is triggered for an A RRset.
5. Original query context is torn down.
6. Recursion for an A RRset completes.
7. A second query context is created.
8. Client-specific data is retrieved from the filter-aaaa memory pool.
9. The response to be sent is processed according to configuration.
10. The response is sent.
11. Client-specific data is returned to the filter-aaaa memory pool.
12. The second query context is torn down.
However, steps 6-12 are not executed if recursion for an A RRset is
canceled. Thus, if named is in the process of recursing for A RRsets
when a shutdown is requested, the filter-aaaa memory pool will have
outstanding allocations which will never get released. This in turn
leads to a crash since every memory pool must not have any outstanding
allocations by the time isc_mempool_destroy() is called.
Fix by creating a stub query context whenever fetch_callback() is called,
including cancellation events. When the qctx is destroyed, it will ensure
the client is detached and the plugin memory is freed.
The message buffer passed to ns__client_request is only valid for
the life of the the ns__client_request call. Save a copy of it
when we recurse or process a update as ns__client_request will
return before those operations complete.
As the query_prefetch() or query_rpzfetch() could be called during
"regular" fetch, we need to introduce separate storage for attaching
the nmhandle during prefetching the records. The query_prefetch()
and query_rpzfetch() are guarded for re-entrance by .query.prefetch
member of ns_client_t, so we can reuse the same .prefetchhandle for
both.
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
The basic scenario for the problem was that in the process of
resolving a query, if any rrset was eligible for prefetching, then it
would trigger a call to query_prefetch(), this call would run in
parallel to the normal query processing.
The problem arises due to the fact that both query_prefetch(), and,
in the original thread, a call to ns_query_recurse(), try to attach
to the recursionquota, but recursing client stats counter is only
incremented if ns_query_recurse() attachs to it first.
Conversely, if fetch_callback() is called before prefetch_done(),
it would not only detach from recursionquota, but also decrement
the stats counter, if query_prefetch() attached to te quota first
that would result in a decrement not matched by an increment, as
expected.
To solve this issue an atomic bool was added, it is set once in
ns_query_recurse(), allowing fetch_callback() to check for it
and decrement stats accordingly.
For a more compreensive explanation check the thread comment below:

- clone keynode->dsset rather than return a pointer so that thread
use is independent of each other.
- hold a reference to the dsset (keynode) so it can't be deleted
while in use.
- create a new keynode when removing DS records so that dangling
pointers to the deleted records will not occur.
- use a rwlock when accessing the rdatalist to prevent instabilities
when DS records are added.
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
In case of normal fetch, the .recursionquota is attached and
ns_statscounter_recursclients is incremented when the fetch is created. Then
the .recursionquota is detached and the counter decremented in the
fetch_callback().
In case of prefetch or rpzfetch, the quota is attached, but the counter is not
incremented. When we reach the soft-quota, the function returns early but don't
detach from the quota, and it gets destroyed during the ns_client_endrequest(),
so no memory was leaked.
But because the ns_statscounter_recursclients is only incremented during the
normal fetch the counter would be incorrectly decremented on two occassions:
1) When we reached the softquota, because the quota was not properly detached
2) When the prefetch or rpzfetch was cancelled mid-flight and the callback
function was never called.
This new option was added to fill a gap in RPZ configuration
options.
It was possible to instruct BIND wheter NSIP rewritting rules would
apply or not, as long as the required data was already in cache or not,
respectively, by means of the option nsip-wait-recurse.
A value of yes (default) could incur a little processing cost, since
BIND would need to recurse to find NS addresses in case they were not in
the cache.
This behavior could be changed by setting nsip-wait-recurse value to no,
in which case BIND would promptly return some error code if the NS IP addresses
data were not in cache, then BIND would start a recursive query
in background, so future similar requests would have the required data
(NS IPs) in cache, allowing BIND to apply NSIP rules accordingly.
A similar feature wasn't available for NSDNAME triggers, so this commit
adds the option nsdname-wait-recurse to fill this gap, as it was
expected by couple BIND users.
this corrects some style glitches such as:
```
long_function_call(arg, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5, "str"
"ing");
```
...by adjusting the penalties for breaking strings and call
parameter lists.

The isc_buffer_allocate() function now cannot fail with ISC_R_MEMORY.
This commit removes all the checks on the return code using the semantic
patch from previous commit, as isc_buffer_allocate() now returns void.
as initial-key and static-key trust anchors will now be stored as a
DS rrset, code referencing keynodes storing DNSKEY trust anchors will
no longer be reached.
- ns__client_request() is now called by netmgr with an isc_nmhandle_t
parameter. The handle can then be permanently associated with an
ns_client object.
- The task manager is paused so that isc_task events that may be
triggred during client processing will not fire until after the netmgr is
finished with it. Before any asynchronous event, the client MUST
call isc_nmhandle_ref(client->handle), to prevent the client from
being reset and reused while waiting for an event to process. When
the asynchronous event is complete, isc_nmhandle_unref(client->handle)
must be called to ensure the handle can be reused later.
- reference counting of client objects is now handled in the nmhandle
object. when the handle references drop to zero, the client's "reset"
callback is used to free temporary resources and reiniialize it,
whereupon the handle (and associated client) is placed in the
"inactive handles" queue. when the sysstem is shutdown and the
handles are cleaned up, the client's "put" callback is called to free
all remaining resources.
- because client allocation is no longer handled in the same way,
the '-T clienttest' option has now been removed and is no longer
used by any system tests.
- the unit tests require wrapping the isc_nmhandle_unref() function;
when LD_WRAP is supported, that is used. otherwise we link a
libwrap.so interposer library and use that.
This commit was done by hand to add the RUNTIME_CHECK() around stray
dns_name_copy() calls with NULL as third argument. This covers the edge cases
that doesn't make sense to write a semantic patch since the usage pattern was
unique or almost unique.
This second commit uses second semantic patch to replace the calls to
dns_name_copy() with NULL as third argument where the result was stored in a
isc_result_t variable. As the dns_name_copy(..., NULL) cannot fail gracefully
when the third argument is NULL, it was just a bunch of dead code.
Couple of manual tweaks (removing dead labels and unused variables) were
manually applied on top of the semantic patch.
This commit add RUNTIME_CHECK() around all simple dns_name_copy() calls where
the third argument is NULL using the semantic patch from the previous commit.
For some libc implementations, BUFSIZ is small enough (e.g. 1024 for
musl libc) to trigger compilation warnings about insufficient size of
certain buffers. Since the relevant buffers are used for printing DNS
names, increase their size to '(n + 1) * DNS_NAME_FORMATSIZE', where 'n'
is the number of DNS names which are printed to a given buffer. This
results in somewhat arbitrary, albeit nicely-aligned and large enough
buffer sizes.
- when processing authoritative queries for ./NS, set 'gluedb' so
that glue will be included in the response, regardless of how
'minimal-responses' has been configured.
We increase recursclients when we attach to recursion quota,
decrease when we detach. In some cases, when we hit soft
quota, we might attach to quota without increasing recursclients
gauge. We then decrease the gauge when we detach from quota,
and it causes the statistics to underflow.
Fix makes sure that we increase recursclients always when we
succesfully attach to recursion quota.
qname minimization, even in relaxed mode, can fail on
some very broken domains. In relaxed mode, instead of
asking for "foo.bar NS" ask for "_.foo.bar A" to either
get a delegation or NXDOMAIN. It will require more queries
than regular mode for proper NXDOMAINs.
- Always set is_zonep in query_getdb; previously it was only set if
result was ISC_R_SUCCESS or ISC_R_NOTFOUND.
- Don't reset is_zone for redirect.
- Style cleanup.
