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.
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.
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`.
When finishing the NSSEARCH task and there is no more followup
lookups to start, dig does not destroy the last lookup, which
causes it to hang indefinitely.
Rename the unused `first_pass` member of `dig_query_t` to `started`
and make it `true` in the first callback after `start_udp()` or
`start_tcp()` of the query to indicate that the query has been
started.
Create a new `check_if_queries_done()` function to check whether
all of the queries inside a lookup have been started and finished,
or canceled.
Use the mentioned function in the TRACE code block in `recv_done()`
to check whether the current query is the last one in the lookup and
cancel the lookup in that case to free the resources.
the line "$GENERATE 19-28/2147483645 $ CNAME x" should generate
a single CNAME with the owner "19.example.com", but prior to the
overflow bug it generated several CNAMEs, half of them with large
negative values.
we now test for the bugfix by using "named-checkzone -D" and
grepping for a single CNAME in the output.
Ensure the update zone name is mentioned in the NOTAUTH error message
in the server log, so that it is easier to track down problematic
update clients. There are two cases: either the update zone is
unrelated to any of the server's zones (previously no zone was
mentioned); or the update zone is a subdomain of one or more of the
server's zones (previously the name of the irrelevant parent zone was
misleadingly logged).
Closes#3209
The use of isc_appctx_t in dns_client was used to wait for
dns_client_startresolve() to finish the processing (the resolve_done()
task callback).
This has been replaced with standard bool+cond+lock combination removing
the need of isc_appctx_t altogether.
Previously, the isc_ht API would always take the key as a literal input
to the hashing function. Change the isc_ht_init() function to take an
'options' argument, in which ISC_HT_CASE_SENSITIVE or _INSENSITIVE can
be specified, to determine whether to use case-sensitive hashing in
isc_hash32() when hashing the key.
In couple places, we have missed INSIST(0) or ISC_UNREACHABLE()
replacement on some branches with UNREACHABLE(). Replace all
ISC_UNREACHABLE() or INSIST(0) calls with UNREACHABLE().
This commit extends the 'doth' system test with a set of Strict/Mutual
TLS related checks.
This commit also makes each doth NS instance use its own TLS
certificate that includes FQDN, IPv4, and IPv6 addresses, issued using
a common Certificate Authority, instead of ad-hoc certs.
Extend servers initialisation timeout to 60 seconds to improve the
tests stability in the CI as certain configurations could fail to
initialise on time under load.
This commit adds support for Strict/Mutual TLS into BIND. It does so
by implementing the backing code for 'hostname' and 'ca-file' options
of the 'tls' statement. The commit also updates the documentation
accordingly.
This commit adds support for Strict/Mutual TLS to dig.
The new command-line options and their behaviour are modelled after
kdig (+tls-ca, +tls-hostname, +tls-certfile, +tls-keyfile) for
compatibility reasons. That is, using +tls-* is sufficient to enable
DoT in dig, implying +tls-ca
If there is no other DNS transport specified via command-line,
specifying any of +tls-* options makes dig use DoT. In this case, its
behaviour is the same as if +tls-ca is specified: that is, the remote
peer's certificate is verified using the platform-specific
intermediate CA certificates store. This behaviour is introduced for
compatibility with kdig.
Because of the "goto" in the "if" body the "else" part is unnecessary
and adds another level of indentation.
Cleanup the code to not have the "else" part.
Catz logs a warning message when it is told to modify a zone which was
not added by the current catalog zone.
When logging a warning, distinguish the two cases when the zone
was not added by a catalog zone at all, and when the zone was
added by a different catalog zone.
The dnssec-settime -p and -up options print times in asctime() and
UNIX time_t formats, respectively. The asctime() format can also be
found inside K*.key public key files. Key files also contain times in
the YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format that can be used in timing parameter
options.
The dnssec-settime -p and -up time formats are now acceptable in
timing parameter options to dnssec-settime and dnssec-keygen, so it is
no longer necessary to parse key files to retrieve times that are
acceptable in timing parameter options.
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().
Historically, the inline keyword was a strong suggestion to the compiler
that it should inline the function marked inline. As compilers became
better at optimising, this functionality has receded, and using inline
as a suggestion to inline a function is obsolete. The compiler will
happily ignore it and inline something else entirely if it finds that's
a better optimisation.
Therefore, remove all the occurences of the inline keyword with static
functions inside single compilation unit and leave the decision whether
to inline a function or not entirely on the compiler
NOTE: We keep the usage the inline keyword when the purpose is to change
the linkage behaviour.
C11 has builtin support for _Noreturn function specifier with
convenience noreturn macro defined in <stdnoreturn.h> header.
Replace ISC_NORETURN macro by C11 noreturn with fallback to
__attribute__((noreturn)) if the C11 support is not complete.
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.
Gcc 7+ and Clang 10+ have implemented __attribute__((fallthrough)) which
is explicit version of the /* FALLTHROUGH */ comment we are currently
using.
Add and apply FALLTHROUGH macro that uses the attribute if available,
but does nothing on older compilers.
In one case (lib/dns/zone.c), using the macro revealed that we were
using the /* FALLTHROUGH */ comment in wrong place, remove that comment.
Instead of passing the "workers" variable back and forth along with
passing the single isc_nm_t instance, add isc_nm_getnworkers() function
that returns the number of netmgr threads are running.
Change the ns_interfacemgr and ns_taskmgr to utilize the newly acquired
knowledge.
From an attacker's point of view, a VLA declaration is essentially a
primitive for performing arbitrary arithmetic on the stack pointer. If
the attacker can control the size of a VLA they have a very powerful
tool for causing memory corruption.
To mitigate this kind of attack, and the more general class of stack
clash vulnerabilities, C compilers insert extra code when allocating a
VLA to probe the growing stack one page at a time. If these probes hit
the stack guard page, the program will crash.
From the point of view of a C programmer, there are a few things to
consider about VLAs:
* If it is important to handle allocation failures in a controlled
manner, don't use VLAs. You can use VLAs if it is OK for
unreasonable inputs to cause an uncontrolled crash.
* If the VLA is known to be smaller than some known fixed size,
use a fixed size array and a run-time check to ensure it is large
enough. This will be more efficient than the compiler's stack
probes that need to cope with arbitrary-size VLAs.
* If the VLA might be large, allocate it on the heap. The heap
allocator can allocate multiple pages in one shot, whereas the
stack clash probes work one page at a time.
Most of the existing uses of VLAs in BIND are in test code where they
are benign, but there was one instance in `named`, in the GSS-TSIG
verification code, which has now been removed.
This commit adjusts the style guide and the C compiler flags to allow
VLAs in test code but not elsewhere.
Rework the "ans8" server in the "digdelv" system test to support various
modes of operations using a control channel.
The supported modes are:
1. `silent` (do not respond)
2. `close` (UDP: same as `silent`; TCP: also close the connection)
3. `servfail` (always respond with `SERVFAIL`)
4. `unstable` (constantly switch between `silent` and `servfail`)
Add multiple tests to check the handling of both TCP and UDP socket
error scenarios in dig/host.
When encountering a TCP connection error while trying to initiate a
connection to a server, dig erroneously cancels the lookup even when
there are other server(s) to try, which results in an assertion failure.
Cancel the lookup only when there are no more queries left in the
lookup's queries list (i.e. `next` is NULL).
Add a test to check whether dig tries the next query/server after
a connection error.
Add a test to check whether dig tries the next query/server after
a one or more (default is 3) connection/request timeouts.
When timing-out or having other types of socket errors during a query,
dig isn't trying to perform the lookup using other servers which exist
in the lookup's queries list.
After configured amount of timeout retries, or after a socket error,
check if there are other queries/servers in the lookup's queries list,
and start the next one if it exists, instead of unconditionally failing.
This test ensures that `dig` retries with another attempt after a
timed-out request, and that it does not crash when the retried
request returns a SERVFAIL result. See [GL #3020] for the latter
issue.
When a query times out, and `dig` (or `host`) creates a new query
to resend the request, it is being prepended to the lookup's queries
list, which can cause a confusion later, making `dig` (or `host`)
believe that there is another new query in the list, but that is
actually the old one, which was timed out. That mistake will result
in an assertion failure.
That can happen, in particular, when after a timed out request,
the retried request returns a SERVFAIL result, and the recursion
is enabled, and `+nofail` option was used with `dig` (that is the
default behavior in `host`, unless the `-s` option is provided).
Fix the problem by inserting the query just after the current,
timed-out query, instead of prepending to the list.
Before calling start_udp() detach `l->current_query`, like it is
done in another place in the function.
Slightly update a couple of debug messages to make them more
consistent.
After a query results in a SERVFAIL result, and there is another
registered query in the lookup's queries list, `dig` starts the next
query to try another server, but for some reason, reports about that
also when the current query is in the head of the list, even if there
is no other query in the list to try.
Use the same condition for both decisions, and after starting the next
query, jump to the "detach_query" label instead of "next_lookup",
because there is no need to start the next lookup after we just started
a query in the current lookup.
The clang-format-15 has new option InsertBraces that could add missing
branches around single line statements. Use that to our advantage
without switching to not-yet-released LLVM version to add missing braces
in couple of places.
Commit 4ca74eee49 update the zone grammar
such that the zone statement is printed with the valid options per
zone type.
This commit is a follow-up, putting back the ZONE heading and adding
a note that these zone statements may also be put inside the view
statement.
It is tricky to actually print the zone statements inside
the view statement, and so we decided that we would add a note to say
that this is possible.
The isc_timer_create() function was a bit conflated. It could have been
used to create a timer and start it at the same time. As there was a
single place where this was done before (see the previous commit for
nta.c), this was cleaned up and the isc_timer_create() function was
changed to only create new timer.
