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.
This commit adds couple of additional safeguards against running
sends/reads on inactive sockets. The changes was modeled after the
changes we made to netmgr/tcpdns.c
Parse the configuration of tls objects into SSL_CTX* objects. Listen on
DoT if 'tls' option is setup in listen-on directive. Use DoT/DoH ports
for DoT/DoH.
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().
there were two failures during observed in testing, both occurring
when 'rndc halt' was run rather than 'rndc stop' - the latter dumps
zone contents to disk and presumably introduced enough delay to
prevent the races:
- a failure when the zone was shut down and called dns_xfrin_detach()
before the xfrin had finished connecting; the connect timeout
terminated without detaching its handle
- a failure when the tcpdns socket timer fired after the outerhandle
had already been cleared.
this commit incidentally addresses a failure observed in mutexatomic
due to a variable having been initialized incorrectly.
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.
When we are operating on the tcpdns socket, we need to double check
whether the socket or its outerhandle or its listener or its mgr is
still active and when not, bail out early.
If dnslisten_readcb gets a read callback it needs to verify that the
outer socket wasn't closed in the meantime, and issue a CANCELED callback
if it was.
- 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.
If the connection is closed while we're processing the request
we might access TCPDNS outerhandle which is already reset. Check
for this condition and call the callback with ISC_R_CANCELED result.
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).
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.
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
the blackhole ACL was accidentally disabled with respect to client
queries during the netmgr conversion.
in order to make this work for TCP, it was necessary to add a return
code to the accept callback functions passed to isc_nm_listentcp() and
isc_nm_listentcpdns().
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.
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.
tcpdns used transport-specific functions to operate on the outer socket.
Use generic ones instead, and select the proper call in netmgr.c.
Make the missing functions (e.g. isc_nm_read) generic and add type-specific
calls (isc__nm_tcp_read). This is the preparation for netmgr TLS layer.
We weren't consistent about who should unreference the handle in
case of network error. Make it consistent so that it's always the
client code responsibility to unreference the handle - either
in the callback or right away if send function failed and the callback
will never be called.
We pass interface as an opaque argument to tcpdns listening socket.
If we stop listening on an interface but still have in-flight connections
the opaque 'interface' is not properly reference counted, and we might
hit a dead memory. We put just a single source of truth in a listening
socket and make the child sockets use that instead of copying the
value from listening socket. We clean the callback when we stop listening.
- the socket stat counters have been moved from socket.h to stats.h.
- isc_nm_t now attaches to the same stats counter group as
isc_socketmgr_t, so that both managers can increment the same
set of statistics
- isc__nmsocket_init() now takes an interface as a paramter so that
the address family can be determined when initializing the socket.
- based on the address family and socket type, a group of statistics
counters will be associated with the socket - for example, UDP4Active
with IPv4 UDP sockets and TCP6Active with IPv6 TCP sockets. note
that no counters are currently associated with TCPDNS sockets; those
stats will be handled by the underlying TCP socket.
- the counters are not actually used by netmgr sockets yet; counter
increment and decrement calls will be added in a later commit.
After the network manager rewrite, tcp-higwater stats was only being
updated when a valid DNS query was received over tcp.
It turns out tcp-quota is updated right after a tcp connection is
accepted, before any data is read, so in the event that some client
connect but don't send a valid query, it wouldn't be taken into
account to update tcp-highwater stats, that is wrong.
This commit fix tcp-highwater to update its stats whenever a tcp connection
is established, independent of what happens after (timeout/invalid
request, etc).
even when worker is paused (e.g. interface reconfiguration). This is
needed to prevent deadlocks when reconfiguring interfaces - as network
manager is paused then, but we still need to stop/start listening.
- Proper handling of TCP listen errors in netmgr - bind to the socket first,
then return the error code.
- restore support for tcp-initial-timeout, tcp-idle-timeout,
tcp-keepalive-timeout and tcp-advertised-timeout configuration
options, which were ineffective previously.
- add timeout support for TCP and TCPDNS connections to protect against
slowloris style attacks. currently, all timeouts are hard-coded.
- rework and simplify the TCPDNS state machine.
when the TCPDNS_CLIENTS_PER_CONN limit has been exceeded for a TCP
DNS connection, switch to sequential mode to ensure that memory cannot
be exhausted by too many simultaneous queries.
