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.
Because we don't use jemalloc functions directly, but only via the
libisc library, the dynamic linker might pull the jemalloc library
too late when memory has been already allocated via standard libc
allocator.
Add a workaround round isc_mem_create() that makes the dynamic linker
to pull jemalloc earlier than libc.
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.
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.
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.
The mechanism for associating a worker task to a database now
uses loops rather than tasks.
For this reason, the parameters to dns_cache_create() have been
updated to take a loop manager rather than a task manager.
The dns_cache API contained a cache cleaning mechanism that would be
disabled for 'rbt' based cache. As named doesn't have any other cache
implementations, remove the cache cleaning mechanism from dns_cache API.
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.
Move the libtest code into a 'libtest' subdirectory and make it
one of the SUBDIRS in the tests Makefile. having it at the top level
required having "." as one of the subdirs, and that caused the
unit tests to be executed twice.
