Under specific rare timing circumstances the uv_read_start() could
fail with UV_EINVAL when the connection is reset between the connect (or
accept) and the uv_read_start() call on the nmworker loop. Handle such
situation gracefully by propagating the errors from uv_read_start() into
upper layers, so the socket can be internally closed().
As we are going to use libuv outside of the netmgr, we need the shims to
be readily available for the rest of the codebase.
Move the "netmgr/uv-compat.h" to <isc/uv.h> and netmgr/uv-compat.c to
uv.c, and as a rule of thumb, the users of libuv should include
<isc/uv.h> instead of <uv.h> directly.
Additionally, merge netmgr/uverr2result.c into uv.c and rename the
single function from isc__nm_uverr2result() to isc_uverr2result().
Move the netmgr socket related functions from netmgr/netmgr.c and
netmgr/uv-compat.c to netmgr/socket.c, so they are all present all in
the same place. Adjust the names of couple interal functions
accordingly.
The connect()ed UDP socket provides feedback on a variety of ICMP
errors (eg port unreachable) which bind can then use to decide what to
do with errors (report them to the client, try again with a different
nameserver etc). However, Linux's implementation does not report what
it considers "transient" conditions, which is defined as Destination
host Unreachable, Destination network unreachable, Source Route Failed
and Message Too Big.
Explicitly enable IP_RECVERR / IPV6_RECVERR (via libuv uv_udp_bind()
flag) to learn about ICMP destination network/host unreachable.
For some applications, it's useful to not listen on full battery of
threads. Add workers argument to all isc_nm_listen*() functions and
convenience ISC_NM_LISTEN_ONE and ISC_NM_LISTEN_ALL macros.
Previously, the option to enable kernel load balancing of the sockets
was always enabled when supported by the operating system (SO_REUSEPORT
on Linux and SO_REUSEPORT_LB on FreeBSD).
It was reported that in scenarios where the networking threads are also
responsible for processing long-running tasks (like RPZ processing, CATZ
processing or large zone transfers), this could lead to intermitten
brownouts for some clients, because the thread assigned by the operating
system might be busy. In such scenarious, the overall performance would
be better served by threads competing over the sockets because the idle
threads can pick up the incoming traffic.
Add new configuration option (`load-balance-sockets`) to allow enabling
or disabling the load balancing of the sockets.
Previously, it was possible to assign a bit of memory space in the
nmhandle to store the client data. This was complicated and prevents
further refactoring of isc_nmhandle_t caching (future work).
Instead of caching the data in the nmhandle, allocate the hot-path
ns_client_t objects from per-thread clientmgr memory context and just
assign it to the isc_nmhandle_t via isc_nmhandle_set().
Previously, the unreachable code paths would have to be tagged with:
INSIST(0);
ISC_UNREACHABLE();
There was also older parts of the code that used comment annotation:
/* NOTREACHED */
Unify the handling of unreachable code paths to just use:
UNREACHABLE();
The UNREACHABLE() macro now asserts when reached and also uses
__builtin_unreachable(); when such builtin is available in the compiler.
Previously, there was a single per-socket write timer that would get
restarted for every new write. This turned out to be insufficient
because the other side could keep reseting the timer, and never reading
back the responses.
Change the single write timer to per-send timer which would in turn
reset the TCP connection on the first send timeout.
The IPV6_USE_MIN_MTU socket option directs the IP layer to limit the
IPv6 packet size to the minimum required supported MTU from the base
IPv6 specification, i.e. 1280 bytes. Many implementations of TCP
running over IPv6 neglect to check the IPV6_USE_MIN_MTU value when
performing MSS negotiation and when constructing a TCP segment despite
MSS being defined to be the MTU less the IP and TCP header sizes (60
bytes for IPv6). This leads to oversized IPv6 packets being sent
resulting in unintended Path Maximum Transport Unit Discovery (PMTUD)
being performed and to fragmented IPv6 packets being sent.
Add and use a function to set socket option to limit the MTU on IPv6
sockets to the minimum MTU (1280) both for UDP and TCP.
When the outgoing TCP write buffers are full because the other party is
not reading the data, the uv_write() could wait indefinitely on the
uv_loop and never calling the callback. Add a new write timer that uses
the `tcp-idle-timeout` value to interrupt the TCP connection when we are
not able to send data for defined period of time.
Before adding the write timer, we have to remove the generic sock->timer
to sock->read_timer. We don't touch the function names to limit the
impact of the refactoring.
Some operating systems (OpenBSD and DragonFly BSD) don't restrict the
IPv6 sockets to sending and receiving IPv6 packets only. Explicitly
enable the IPV6_V6ONLY socket option on the IPv6 sockets to prevent
failures from using the IPv4-mapped IPv6 address.
Previously, the netmgr/udp.c tried to detect the recvmmsg detection in
libuv with #ifdef UV_UDP_<foo> preprocessor macros. However, because
the UV_UDP_<foo> are not preprocessor macros, but enum members, the
detection didn't work. Because the detection didn't work, the code
didn't have access to the information when we received the final chunk
of the recvmmsg and tried to free the uvbuf every time. Fortunately,
the isc__nm_free_uvbuf() had a kludge that detected attempt to free in
the middle of the receive buffer, so the code worked.
However, libuv 1.37.0 changed the way the recvmmsg was enabled from
implicit to explicit, and we checked for yet another enum member
presence with preprocessor macro, so in fact libuv recvmmsg support was
never enabled with libuv >= 1.37.0.
This commit changes to the preprocessor macros to autoconf checks for
declaration, so the detection now works again. On top of that, it's now
possible to cleanup the alloc_cb and free_uvbuf functions because now,
the information whether we can or cannot free the buffer is available to
us.
This commit converts the license handling to adhere to the REUSE
specification. It specifically:
1. Adds used licnses to LICENSES/ directory
2. Add "isc" template for adding the copyright boilerplate
3. Changes all source files to include copyright and SPDX license
header, this includes all the C sources, documentation, zone files,
configuration files. There are notes in the doc/dev/copyrights file
on how to add correct headers to the new files.
4. Handle the rest that can't be modified via .reuse/dep5 file. The
binary (or otherwise unmodifiable) files could have license places
next to them in <foo>.license file, but this would lead to cluttered
repository and most of the files handled in the .reuse/dep5 file are
system test files.
isc_nm_routeconnect() opens a route/netlink socket, then calls a
connect callback, much like isc_nm_udpconnect(), with a handle that
can then be monitored for network changes.
Internally the socket is treated as a UDP socket, since route/netlink
sockets follow the datagram contract.
After support for route/netlink sockets is merged, not all sockets
will have stats counters associated with them, so it's now necessary
to check whether socket stats exist before incrementing or decrementing
them. rather than relying on the caller for this, we now just pass the
socket and an index, and the correct stats counter will be updated if
it exists.
- The read timer must always be stopped when reading stops.
- Read callbacks can now call isc_nm_read() again in TCP, TCPDNS and
TLSDNS; previously this caused an assertion.
- The wrong failure code could be sent after a UDP recv failure because
the if statements were in the wrong order. the check for a NULL
address needs to be after the check for an error code, otherwise the
result will always be set to ISC_R_EOF.
- When aborting a read or connect because the netmgr is shutting down,
use ISC_R_SHUTTINGDOWN. (ISC_R_CANCELED is now reserved for when the
read has been canceled by the caller.)
- A new function isc_nmhandle_timer_running() has been added enabling a
callback to check whether the timer has been reset after processing a
timeout.
- Incidental netmgr fix: always use isc__nm_closing() instead of
referencing sock->mgr->closing directly
- Corrected a few comments that used outdated function names.
Instead of disabling the fragmentation on the UDP sockets, we now
disable the Path MTU Discovery by setting IP(V6)_MTU_DISCOVER socket
option to IP_PMTUDISC_OMIT on Linux and disabling IP(V6)_DONTFRAG socket
option on FreeBSD. This option sets DF=0 in the IP header and also
ignores the Path MTU Discovery.
As additional mitigation on Linux, we recommend setting
net.ipv4.ip_no_pmtu_disc to Mode 3:
Mode 3 is a hardend pmtu discover mode. The kernel will only accept
fragmentation-needed errors if the underlying protocol can verify
them besides a plain socket lookup. Current protocols for which pmtu
events will be honored are TCP, SCTP and DCCP as they verify
e.g. the sequence number or the association. This mode should not be
enabled globally but is only intended to secure e.g. name servers in
namespaces where TCP path mtu must still work but path MTU
information of other protocols should be discarded. If enabled
globally this mode could break other protocols.
The Windows support has been completely removed from the source tree
and BIND 9 now no longer supports native compilation on Windows.
We might consider reviewing mingw-w64 port if contributed by external
party, but no development efforts will be put into making BIND 9 compile
and run on Windows again.
While cleaning up the usage of HAVE_UV_<func> macros, we forgot to
cleanup the HAVE_UV_UDP_CONNECT in the actual code and
HAVE_UV_TRANSLATE_SYS_ERROR and this was causing Windows build to fail
on uv_udp_send() because the socket was already connected and we were
falsely assuming that it was not.
The platforms with autoconf support were not affected, because we were
still checking for the functions from the configure.
The isc_nmiface_t type was holding just a single isc_sockaddr_t,
so we got rid of the datatype and use plain isc_sockaddr_t in place
where isc_nmiface_t was used before. This means less type-casting and
shorter path to access isc_sockaddr_t members.
At the same time, instead of keeping the reference to the isc_sockaddr_t
that was passed to us when we start listening, we will keep a local
copy. This prevents the data race on destruction of the ns_interface_t
objects where pending nmsockets could reference the sockaddr of already
destroyed ns_interface_t object.
This commit adds a new configuration option to set the receive and send
buffer sizes on the TCP and UDP netmgr sockets. The default is `0`
which doesn't set any value and just uses the value set by the operating
system.
There's no magic value here - set it too small and the performance will
drop, set it too large, the buffers can fill-up with queries that have
already timeouted on the client side and nobody is interested for the
answer and this would just make the server clog up even more by making
it produce useless work.
The `netstat -su` can be used on POSIX systems to monitor the receive
and send buffer errors.
The outgoing UDP socket selection would pick unintialized children
socket on Windows, because we have more netmgr workers than we have
listening sockets. This commit fixes the selection by keeping the
outgoing socket the same, so it's always run on existing socket.
Network manager events that require interlock (pause, resume, listen)
are now always executed in the same worker thread, mgr->workers[0],
to prevent races.
"stoplistening" events no longer require interlock.
The netmgr listening, stoplistening, pausing and resuming functions
now use barriers for synchronization, which makes the code much simpler.
isc/barrier.h defines isc_barrier macros as a front-end for uv_barrier
on platforms where that works, and pthread_barrier where it doesn't
(including TSAN builds).
when running read callbacks, if the event result is not ISC_R_SUCCESS,
the callback is always run asynchronously. this is a problem on timeout,
because there's no chance to reset the timer before the socket has
already been destroyed. this commit allows read callbacks to run
synchronously for both ISC_R_SUCCESS and ISC_R_TIMEDOUT result codes.
This commit changes the taskmgr to run the individual tasks on the
netmgr internal workers. While an effort has been put into keeping the
taskmgr interface intact, couple of changes have been made:
* The taskmgr has no concept of universal privileged mode - rather the
tasks are either privileged or unprivileged (normal). The privileged
tasks are run as a first thing when the netmgr is unpaused. There
are now four different queues in in the netmgr:
1. priority queue - netievent on the priority queue are run even when
the taskmgr enter exclusive mode and netmgr is paused. This is
needed to properly start listening on the interfaces, free
resources and resume.
2. privileged task queue - only privileged tasks are queued here and
this is the first queue that gets processed when network manager
is unpaused using isc_nm_resume(). All netmgr workers need to
clean the privileged task queue before they all proceed normal
operation. Both task queues are processed when the workers are
finished.
3. task queue - only (traditional) task are scheduled here and this
queue along with privileged task queues are process when the
netmgr workers are finishing. This is needed to process the task
shutdown events.
4. normal queue - this is the queue with netmgr events, e.g. reading,
sending, callbacks and pretty much everything is processed here.
* The isc_taskmgr_create() now requires initialized netmgr (isc_nm_t)
object.
* The isc_nm_destroy() function now waits for indefinite time, but it
will print out the active objects when in tracing mode
(-DNETMGR_TRACE=1 and -DNETMGR_TRACE_VERBOSE=1), the netmgr has been
made a little bit more asynchronous and it might take longer time to
shutdown all the active networking connections.
* Previously, the isc_nm_stoplistening() was a synchronous operation.
This has been changed and the isc_nm_stoplistening() just schedules
the child sockets to stop listening and exits. This was needed to
prevent a deadlock as the the (traditional) tasks are now executed on
the netmgr threads.
* The socket selection logic in isc__nm_udp_send() was flawed, but
fortunatelly, it was broken, so we never hit the problem where we
created uvreq_t on a socket from nmhandle_t, but then a different
socket could be picked up and then we were trying to run the send
callback on a socket that had different threadid than currently
running.
The isc_nm_tlsdnsconnect() call could end up with two connect callbacks
called when the timeout fired and the TCP connection was aborted,
but the TLS handshake was not complete yet. isc__nm_connecttimeout_cb()
forgot to clean up sock->tls.pending_req when the connect callback was
called with ISC_R_TIMEDOUT, leading to a second callback running later.
A new argument has been added to the isc__nm_*_failed_connect_cb and
isc__nm_*_failed_read_cb functions, to indicate whether the callback
needs to run asynchronously or not.
The isc_nm_*connect() functions were refactored to always return the
connection status via the connect callback instead of sometimes returning
the hard failure directly (for example, when the socket could not be
created, or when the network manager was shutting down).
This commit changes the connect functions in all the network manager
modules, and also makes the necessary refactoring changes in places
where the connect functions are called.
dig previously ran isc_nm_udpconnect() three times before giving
up, to work around a freebsd bug that caused connect() to return
a spurious transient EADDRINUSE. this commit moves the retry code
into the network manager itself, so that isc_nm_udpconnect() no
longer needs to return a result code.
Serveral problems were discovered and fixed after the change in
the connection timeout in the previous commits:
* In TLSDNS, the connection callback was not called at all under some
circumstances when the TCP connection had been established, but the
TLS handshake hadn't been completed yet. Additional checks have
been put in place so that tls_cycle() will end early when the
nmsocket is invalidated by the isc__nm_tlsdns_shutdown() call.
* In TCP, TCPDNS and TLSDNS, new connections would be established
even when the network manager was shutting down. The new
call isc__nm_closing() has been added and is used to bail out
early even before uv_tcp_connect() is attempted.
Similarly to the read timeout, it's now possible to recover from
ISC_R_TIMEDOUT event by restarting the timer from the connect callback.
The change here also fixes platforms that missing the socket() options
to set the TCP connection timeout, by moving the timeout code into user
space. On platforms that support setting the connect timeout via a
socket option, the timeout has been hardcoded to 2 minutes (the maximum
value of tcp-initial-timeout).
The udp, tcpdns and tlsdns contained lot of cut&paste code or code that
was very similar making the stack harder to maintain as any change to
one would have to be copied to the the other protocols.
In this commit, we merge the common parts into the common functions
under isc__nm_<foo> namespace and just keep the little differences based
on the socket type.
After the TCPDNS refactoring the initial and idle timers were broken and
only the tcp-initial-timeout was always applied on the whole TCP
connection.
This broke any TCP connection that took longer than tcp-initial-timeout,
most often this would affect large zone AXFRs.
This commit changes the timeout logic in this way:
* On TCP connection accept the tcp-initial-timeout is applied
and the timer is started
* When we are processing and/or sending any DNS message the timer is
stopped
* When we stop processing all DNS messages, the tcp-idle-timeout
is applied and the timer is started again
This commit includes work-in-progress implementation of
DNS-over-HTTP(S).
Server-side code remains mostly untested, and there is only support
for POST requests.
On Windows, we were limiting the number of listening children to just 1,
but we were then iterating on mgr->nworkers. That lead to scheduling
more async_*listen() than actually allocated and out-of-bound read-write
operation on the heap.
When we were in nmthread, the isc__nm_async_<proto>connect() function
executes in the same thread as the isc__nm_<proto>connect() and on a
failure, it would block indefinitely because the failure branch was
setting sock->active to false before the condition around the wait had a
chance to skip the WAIT().
This also fixes the zero system test being stuck on FreeBSD 11, so we
re-enable the test in the commit.
On platforms without load-balancing socket all the queries would be
handle by a single thread. Currently, the support for load-balanced
sockets is present in Linux with SO_REUSEPORT and FreeBSD 12 with
SO_REUSEPORT_LB.
This commit adds workaround for such platforms that:
1. setups single shared listening socket for all listening nmthreads for
UDP, TCP and TCPDNS netmgr transports
2. Calls uv_udp_bind/uv_tcp_bind on the underlying socket just once and
for rest of the nmthreads only copy the internal libuv flags (should
be just UV_HANDLE_BOUND and optionally UV_HANDLE_IPV6).
3. start reading on UDP socket or listening on TCP socket
The load distribution among the nmthreads is uneven, but it's still
better than utilizing just one thread for processing all the incoming
queries
After turning the users callbacks to be asynchronous, there was a
visible performance drop. This commit prevents the unnecessary
allocations while keeping the code paths same for both asynchronous and
synchronous calls.
The same change was done to the isc__nm_udp_{read,send} as those two
functions are in the hot path.
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.
socket() call can return an error - e.g. EMFILE, so we need to handle
this nicely and not crash.
Additionally wrap the socket() call inside a platform independent helper
function as the Socket data type on Windows is unsigned integer:
> This means, for example, that checking for errors when the socket and
> accept functions return should not be done by comparing the return
> value with –1, or seeing if the value is negative (both common and
> legal approaches in UNIX). Instead, an application should use the
> manifest constant INVALID_SOCKET as defined in the Winsock2.h header
> file.
Because we use result earlier for setting the loadbalancing on the
socket, we could be left with a ISC_R_NOTIMPLEMENTED value stored in the
variable and when the UDP connection would succeed, we would
errorneously return this value instead of ISC_R_SUCCESS.
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.
There were more races that could happen while connecting to a
socket while closing or shutting down the same socket. This
commit introduces a .closing flag to guard the socket from
being closed twice.
