Previously, HAVE_SO_REUSEPORT_LB has been defined only in the private
netmgr-int.h header file, making the configuration of load balanced
sockets inoperable.
Move the missing HAVE_SO_REUSEPORT_LB define the isc/netmgr.h and add
missing isc_nm_getloadbalancesockets() implementation.
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, the RPZ updates ran quantized on the main nm_worker loops.
As the quantum was set to 1024, this might lead to service
interruptions when large RPZ update was processed.
Change the RPZ update process to run as the offloaded work. The update
and cleanup loops were refactored to do as little locking of the
maintenance lock as possible for the shortest periods of time and the db
iterator is being paused for every iteration, so we don't hold the rbtdb
tree lock for prolonged periods of time.
Previously dns_rpz_add() were passed dns_rpz_zones_t and index to .zones
array. Because we actually attach to dns_rpz_zone_t, we should be using
the local pointer instead of passing the index and "finding" the
dns_rpz_zone_t again.
Additionally, dns_rpz_add() and dns_rpz_delete() were used only inside
rpz.c, so make them static.
Do a general cleanup of lib/dns/rpz.c style:
* Removed deprecated and unused functions
* Unified dns_rpz_zone_t naming to rpz
* Unified dns_rpz_zones_t naming to rpzs
* Add and use rpz_attach() and rpz_attach_rpzs() functions
* Shuffled variables to be more local (cppcheck cleanup)
Now that the dns_aclenv_t has now properly rwlocked .localhost and
.localnets member, we can remove the task exclusive mode use from the
ns_interfacemgr. Some light related cleanup has been also done.
In order to modify the .localhost and .localnets members of the
dns_aclenv, all other processing on the netmgr loops needed to be
stopped using the task exclusive mode. Add the isc_rwlock to the
dns_aclenv, so any modifications to the .localhost and .localnets can be
done under the write lock.
In recv_done(), when dig decides to start the lookup's next query in
the line using `start_udp()` or `start_tcp()`, and for some reason,
no queries get started, dig doesn't cancel the lookup.
This can occur, for example, when there are two queries in the lookup,
one with a regular IP address, and another with a IPv4 mapped IPv6
address. When the regular IP address fails to serve the query, its
`recv_done()` callback starts the next query in the line (in this
case the one with a mapped IP address), but because `dig` doesn't
connect to such IP addresses, and there are no other queries in the
list, no new queries are being started, and the lookup keeps hanging.
After calling `start_udp()` or `start_tcp()` in `recv_done()`, check
if there are no pending/working queries then cancel the lookup instead
of only detaching from the current query.
The reference counting and isc_timer_attach()/isc_timer_detach()
semantic are actually misleading because it cannot be used under normal
conditions. The usual conditions under which is timer used uses the
object where timer is used as argument to the "timer" itself. This
means that when the caller is using `isc_timer_detach()` it needs the
timer to stop and the isc_timer_detach() does that only if this would be
the last reference. Unfortunately, this also means that if the timer is
attached elsewhere and the timer is fired it will most likely be
use-after-free, because the object used in the timer no longer exists.
Remove the reference counting from the isc_timer unit, remove
isc_timer_attach() function and rename isc_timer_detach() to
isc_timer_destroy() to better reflect how the API needs to be used.
The only caveat is that the already executed event must be destroyed
before the isc_timer_destroy() is called because the timer is no longet
attached to .ev_destroy_arg.
Previously, the task privileged mode has been used only when the named
was starting up and loading the zones from the disk as the "first" thing
to do. The privileged task was setup with quantum == 2, which made the
taskmgr/netmgr spin around the privileged queue processing two events at
the time.
The same effect can be achieved by setting the quantum to UINT_MAX (e.g.
practically unlimited) for the loadzone task, hence the privileged task
mode was removed in favor of just processing all the events on the
loadzone task in a single task_run().
Instead of passing the number of worker to the dns_zonemgr manually,
get the number of nm threads using the new isc_nm_getnworkers() call.
Additionally, remove the isc_pool API and manage the array of memory
context, zonetasks and loadtasks directly in the zonemgr.
After switching to per-thread resources in the zonemgr, the performance
was decreased because the memory context, zonetask and loadtask was
picked from the pool at random.
Pin the zone to single threadid (.tid) and align the memory context,
zonetask and loadtask to be the same, this sets the hard affinity of the
zone to the netmgr thread.
The zone counting in the named was used to properly size the zonemgr
resources (memory contexts, zonetasks and loadtasks). Since this is no
longer the case, remove the whole zone counting from named.
Previously, the zonemgr created 1 task per 100 zones and 1 memory
context per 1000 zones (with minimum 10 tasks and 2 memory contexts) to
reduce the contention between threads.
Instead of reducing the contention by having many resources, create a
per-nm_thread memory context, loadtask and zonetask and spread the zones
between just per-thread resources.
Note: this commit alone does decrease performance when loading the zone
by couple seconds (in case of 1M zone) and thus there's more work in
this whole MR fixing the performance.
Previously, the zone timer was not stopped before detaching the timer.
This could lead to a data race where the timer post_event() could fire
before the timer was detached, but then the event would be executed
after the zone was already destroyed.
This was not noticed before because the timing or the ordering of the
actions were different, but it was causing assertion failures in the
libns tests now.
Properly stop the zone timer before detaching the timer object from the
dns_zone.
When we are loading the zones, set the quantum to UINT_MAX, which makes
task_run process all tasks at once. After the zone loading is finished
the quantum will be dropped to 1 to not block server when we are loading
new zones after reconfiguration.
Add isc_task_setquantum() function that modifies quantum for the future
isc_task_run() invocations.
NOTE: The current isc_task_run() caches the task->quantum into a local
variable and therefore the current event loop is not affected by any
quantum change.
The isc_task_purge() and isc_task_purgerange() were now unused, so sweep
the task.c file. Additionally remove unused ISC_EVENTATTR_NOPURGE event
attribute.
The isc_task_purgerange() was walking through all events on the task to
find a matching task. Instead use the ISC_LINK_LINKED to find whether
the event is active.
Cleanup the related isc_task_unsend() and isc_task_unsendrange()
functions that were not used anywhere.
Adding extra val & 0xffff in the isc_hash_bits32() macros in the hotpath
has significantly reduced the performance. Turn the macro into static
inline function matching the previous hash_32() function used to compute
hashval matching the hashtable->bits.
a test case in the 'resolver' system test was reliant on
logged output that would only be present when query tracing
was enabled, as in developer builds. that test case is now
disabled when query tracing is not available. Thanks to
Anton Castelli.
The `udp_ready()` and `tcp_connected()` functions in dighost.c are
used for similar purposes for UDP and TCP respectively.
Synchronize the `udp_ready()` function entry code to behave like
`tcp_connected()` by adding input validation, debug messages and
early exit code when `cancel_now` is `true`.
