This commit allows to specify "disabled" or "off" in
stale-answer-client-timeout statement. The logic to support this
behavior will be added in the subsequent commits.
This commit also ensures an upper bound to stale-answer-client-timeout
which equals to one second less than 'resolver-query-timeout'.
The general logic behind the addition of this new feature works as
folows:
When a client query arrives, the basic path (query.c / ns_query_recurse)
was to create a fetch, waiting for completion in fetch_callback.
With the introduction of stale-answer-client-timeout, a new event of
type DNS_EVENT_TRYSTALE may invoke fetch_callback, whenever stale
answers are enabled and the fetch took longer than
stale-answer-client-timeout to complete.
When an event of type DNS_EVENT_TRYSTALE triggers fetch_callback, we
must ensure that the folowing happens:
1. Setup a new query context with the sole purpose of looking up for
stale RRset only data, for that matters a new flag was added
'DNS_DBFIND_STALEONLY' used in database lookups.
. If a stale RRset is found, mark the original client query as
answered (with a new query attribute named NS_QUERYATTR_ANSWERED),
so when the fetch completion event is received later, we avoid
answering the client twice.
. If a stale RRset is not found, cleanup and wait for the normal
fetch completion event.
2. In ns_query_done, we must change this part:
/*
* If we're recursing then just return; the query will
* resume when recursion ends.
*/
if (RECURSING(qctx->client)) {
return (qctx->result);
}
To this:
if (RECURSING(qctx->client) && !QUERY_STALEONLY(qctx->client)) {
return (qctx->result);
}
Otherwise we would not proceed to answer the client if it happened
that a stale answer was found when looking up for stale only data.
When an event of type DNS_EVENT_FETCHDONE triggers fetch_callback, we
proceed as before, resuming query, updating stats, etc, but a few
exceptions had to be added, most important of which are two:
1. Before answering the client (ns_client_send), check if the query
wasn't already answered before.
2. Before detaching a client, e.g.
isc_nmhandle_detach(&client->reqhandle), ensure that this is the
fetch completion event, and not the one triggered due to
stale-answer-client-timeout, so a correct call would be:
if (!QUERY_STALEONLY(client)) {
isc_nmhandle_detach(&client->reqhandle);
}
Other than these notes, comments were added in code in attempt to make
these updates easier to follow.
The 'filter-aaaa', 'filter-aaaa-on-v4', and 'filter-aaaa-on-v6' options
are replaced by the filter-aaaa plugin. This plugin was introduced in
9.13.5 and so it is safe to remove the named.conf options.
These options were ancient or made obsolete a long time ago, it is
safe to remove them.
Also stop printing ancient options, they should be treated the same as
unknown options.
Removed options: lwres, geoip-use-ecs, sit-secret, use-ixfr,
acache-cleaning-interval, acache-enable, additional-from-auth,
additional-from-cache, allow-v6-synthesis, dnssec-enable,
max-acache-size, nosit-udp-size, queryport-pool-ports,
queryport-pool-updateinterval, request-sit, use-queryport-pool, and
support-ixfr.
The 'new default' option was introduced in 2002 to signal that a
default option had changed its default value, in this specific case
the value for 'auth-nxdomain'. However, this default has been unchanged
for 18 years now, and logging that the default has changed does not
have significant value nowadays.
This is also a good example that the clause flag 'new default' is
broken: it is easy to get out of date.
It is also easy to forget, because we have changed the default value
for 'max-stale-ttl' and haven't been flagging it with 'new default'
Also, if the operator cares for a specific value it should set it
explicitly. Using the default is telling the software: use whatever
you think is best, and this may change over time. Default value
changes should be mentioned in the release note, but do not require
further special treatment.
The clause flags 'not implented' and 'not implemented yet' are the
same as 'obsoleted' when it comes to behavior. These options will
now be treated similar as obsoleted (the idea being that if an
option is implemented it should be functional).
The new options for DoT are new options and rather than flagging them
obsolete, they should have been flagged as experimental, signalling
that these options are subject to change in the future.
Upon request from Mark, change the configuration of salt to salt
length.
Introduce a new function 'dns_zone_checknsec3aram' that can be used
upon reconfiguration to check if the existing NSEC3 parameters are
in sync with the configuration. If a salt is used that matches the
configured salt length, don't change the NSEC3 parameters.
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.
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.
This commit adds stub parser support and tests for:
- "tls" statement, specifying key and cert.
- an optional "tls" keyvalue in listen-on statements for DoT
configuration.
Documentation for these options has also been added to the ARM, but
needs further work.
No issues with the glue cache feature have been reported since its
introduction in BIND 9.12. As the rationale for introducing the
"glue-cache" option was to have a safety switch readily available in
case the glue cache turns out to cause problems, it is time to deprecate
the option. Glue cache will be permanently enabled in a future release,
at which point the "glue-cache" option will be made obsolete.
The current serve-stale implementation in BIND 9 stores all received
records in the cache for a max-stale-ttl interval (default 12 hours).
This allows DNS operators to turn the serve-stale answers in an event of
large authoritative DNS outage. The caching of the stale answers needs
to be enabled before the outage happens or the feature would be
otherwise useless.
The negative consequence of the default setting is the inevitable
cache-bloat that happens for every and each DNS operator running named.
In this MR, a new configuration option `stale-cache-enable` is
introduced that allows the operators to selectively enable or disable
the serve-stale feature of BIND 9 based on their decision.
The newly introduced option has been disabled by default,
e.g. serve-stale is disabled in the default configuration and has to be
enabled if required.
as "type primary" is preferred over "type master" now, it makes
sense to make "primaries" available as a synonym too.
added a correctness check to ensure "primaries" and "masters"
cannot both be used in the same zone.
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.
The key-directory keyword actually does nothing right now but may
be useful in the future if we want to differentiate between key
directories or HSM keys, or if we want to speficy different
directories for different keys or policies. Make it optional for
the time being.
The keyword 'unlimited' can be used instead of PT0S which means the
same but is more comprehensible for users.
Also fix some redundant "none" parameters in the kasp test.
This commit makes some minor changes to the trust anchor code:
1. Replace the undescriptive n1, n2 and n3 identifiers with slightly
better rdata1, rdata2, and rdata3.
2. Fix an occurrence where in the error log message a static number
32 was printed, rather than the rdata3 length.
3. Add a default case to the switch statement checking DS digest
algorithms to catch unknown algorithms.
'dnssec-policy' can now also be set on the options and view level and
a zone that does not set 'dnssec-policy' explicitly will inherit it
from the view or options level.
This requires a new keyword to be introduced: 'none'. If set to
'none' the zone will not be DNSSEC maintained, in other words it will
stay unsigned. You can use this to break the inheritance. Of course
you can also break the inheritance by referring to a different
policy.
The keywords 'default' and 'none' are not allowed when configuring
your own dnssec-policy statement.
Add appropriate tests for checking the configuration (checkconf)
and add tests to the kasp system test to verify the inheritance
works.
Edit the kasp system test such that it can deal with unsigned zones
and views (so setting a TSIG on the query).
When doing rollover in a timely manner we need to have access to the
relevant kasp configured durations.
Most of these are simple get functions, but 'dns_kasp_signdelay'
will calculate the maximum time that is needed with this policy to
resign the complete zone (taking into account the refresh interval
and signature validity).
Introduce parent-propagation-delay, parent-registration-delay,
parent-ds-ttl, zone-max-ttl, zone-propagation-delay.
This commit introduces the initial `dnssec-policy` configuration
statement. It has an initial set of options to deal with signature
and key maintenance.
Add some checks to ensure that dnssec-policy is configured at the
right locations, and that policies referenced to in zone statements
actually exist.
Add some checks that when a user adds the new `dnssec-policy`
configuration, it will no longer contain existing DNSSEC
configuration options. Specifically: `inline-signing`,
`auto-dnssec`, `dnssec-dnskey-kskonly`, `dnssec-secure-to-insecure`,
`update-check-ksk`, `dnssec-update-mode`, `dnskey-sig-validity`,
and `sig-validity-interval`.
Test a good kasp configuration, and some bad configurations.
The ttlval configuration types are replaced by duration configuration
types. The duration is an ISO 8601 duration that is going to be used
for DNSSEC key timings such as key lifetimes, signature resign
intervals and refresh periods, etc. But it is also still allowed to
use the BIND ttlval ways of configuring intervals (number plus
optional unit).
A duration is stored as an array of 7 different time parts.
A duration can either be expressed in weeks, or in a combination of
the other datetime indicators.
Add several unit tests to ensure the correct value is parsed given
different string values.
The coccinellery repository provides many little semantic patches to fix common
problems in the code. The number of semantic patches in the coccinellery
repository is high and most of the semantic patches apply only for Linux, so it
doesn't make sense to run them on regular basis as the processing takes a lot of
time.
The list of issue found in BIND 9, by no means complete, includes:
- double assignment to a variable
- `continue` at the end of the loop
- double checks for `NULL`
- useless checks for `NULL` (cannot be `NULL`, because of earlier return)
- using `0` instead of `NULL`
- useless extra condition (`if (foo) return; if (!foo) { ...; }`)
- removing & in front of static functions passed as arguments
- this required modification to the code that generates grammar text for
the documentation, because the "dnssec-lookaside" option spanned more
than one line in doc/misc/options, so grepping out only the lines
marked "// obsolete" didn't remove the whole option. this commit adds
an option to cfg_test to print named.conf clauses only if they don't
have the obsolete, ancient, test-only, or not-yet-implemented flags
set.
This commit changes the BIND cookie algorithms to match
draft-sury-toorop-dnsop-server-cookies-00. Namely, it changes the Client Cookie
algorithm to use SipHash 2-4, adds the new Server Cookie algorithm using SipHash
2-4, and changes the default for the Server Cookie algorithm to be siphash24.
Add siphash24 cookie algorithm, and make it keep legacy aes as
