While working on the serve-stale backports, I noticed the following
oddities:
1. In the serve-stale system test, in one case we keep track of the
time how long it took for dig to complete. In commit
aaed7f9d8c, the code removed the
exception to check for result == ISC_R_SUCCESS on stale found
answers, and adjusted the test accordingly. This failed to update
the time tracking accordingly. Move the t1/t2 time track variables
back around the two dig commands to ensure the lookups resolved
faster than the resolver-query-timeout.
2. We can remove the setting of NS_QUERYATTR_STALEOK and
DNS_RDATASETATTR_STALE_ADDED on the "else if (stale_timeout)"
code path, because they are added later when we know we have
actually found a stale answer on a stale timeout lookup.
3. We should clear the NS_QUERYATTR_STALEOK flag from the client
query attributes instead of DNS_RDATASETATTR_STALE_ADDED (that
flag is set on the rdataset attributes).
4. In 'bin/named/config.c' we should set the configuration options
in alpabetical order.
5. In the ARM, in the backports we have added "(stale)" between
"cached" and "RRset" to make more clear a stale RRset may be
returned in this scenario.
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.
When introducing change 5149, "rndc dumpdb" started to print a line
above a stale RRset, indicating how long the data will be retained.
At that time, I thought it should also be possible to load
a cache from file. But if a TTL has a value of 0 (because it is stale),
stale entries wouldn't be loaded from file. So, I added the
'max-stale-ttl' to TTL values, and adjusted the $DATE accordingly.
Since we actually don't have a "load cache from file" feature, this
is premature and is causing confusion at operators. This commit
changes the 'max-stale-ttl' adjustments.
A check in the serve-stale system test is added for a non-stale
RRset (longttl.example) to make sure the TTL in cache is sensible.
Also, the comment above stale RRsets could have nonsensical
values. A possible reason why this may happen is when the RRset was
marked a stale but the 'max-stale-ttl' has passed (and is actually an
RRset awaiting cleanup). This would lead to the "will be retained"
value to be negative (but since it is stored in an uint32_t, you would
get a nonsensical value (e.g. 4294362497).
To mitigate against this, we now also check if the header is not
ancient. In addition we check if the stale_ttl would be negative, and
if so we set it to 0. Most likely this will not happen because the
header would already have been marked ancient, but there is a possible
race condition where the 'rdh_ttl + serve_stale_ttl' has passed,
but the header has not been checked for staleness.
Using "stale-answer-client-timeout" turns out to have unforeseen
negative consequences, and thus it is better to disable the feature
by default for the time being.
Some man pages (e.g. dnstap-read.1, named-nzd2nzf.1) should only be
installed conditionally (when the relevant features are enabled in a
given BIND 9 build). This is achieved using Automake conditionals.
However, while all source reStructuredText files are included in
tarballs produced by "make dist" (distribution tarballs) as they should
be, the list of pre-generated man pages included in distribution
tarballs incorrectly depends on the ./configure switches used for the
build for which "make dist" is run. Meanwhile, distribution tarballs
should always contain all the files necessary to build any flavor of
BIND 9.
Here is an example scenario which fails to work as intended:
autoreconf -i
./configure --disable-maintainer-mode
make dist
tar --extract --file bind-9.17.11.tar.xz
cd bind-9.17.11
./configure --disable-maintainer-mode --enable-dnstap
make
Fix by always including pre-generated versions of all conditionally
installed man pages in EXTRA_DIST. While this may cause some of them to
appear in EXTRA_DIST more than once (depending on the ./configure
switches used for the build for which "make dist" is run), it seems to
not be a problem for Automake.
Call 'dns_zone_rekey' after a 'rndc dnssec -checkds' or 'rndc dnssec
-rollover' command is received, because such a command may influence
the next key event. Updating the keys immediately avoids unnecessary
rollover delays.
The kasp system test no longer needs to call 'rndc loadkeys' after
a 'rndc dnssec -checkds' or 'rndc dnssec -rollover' command.
The named-checkzone tool can also be invoked as named-compilezone. Make
sure a man page is installed for that alias. Move and rename the
"man_named-checkzone" label to prevent a Sphinx duplicate label warning
from being raised (see commit 84862e96c1
for more information).
The named-nzd2nzf utility is only built and installed for LMDB-enabled
builds. Adjust the relevant Makefile.am file to make sure the
named-nzd2nzf.1 man page is also only built and installed for
LMDB-enabled builds.
The dnstap-read utility is only built and installed for dnstap-enabled
builds. Adjust the relevant Makefile.am file to make sure the
dnstap-read.1 man page is also only built and installed for
dnstap-enabled builds.
Dynamic zones with dnssec-policy could not be thawed because KASP
zones were considered always dynamic. But a dynamic KASP zone should
also check whether updates are disabled.
The transport should also be detached when we skip a master, otherwise
named will crash when sending a SOA query to the next master over TLS,
because the transport must be NULL when we enter
'dns_view_gettransport'.
Commit 9fb6d11abb (which converted BIND 9
documentation from DocBook to Sphinx) inadvertently removed a paragraph
from the description of the "max-ixfr-ratio" option. Add the missing
paragraph back.
when the 'max-ixfr-ratio' option was added, journal transaction
headers were revised to include a count of RR's in each transaction.
this made it impossible to read old journal files after an upgrade.
this branch restores the ability to read version 1 transaction
headers. when rolling forward, printing journal contents, if
the wrong transaction header format is found, we can switch.
when dns_journal_rollforward() detects a version 1 transaction
header, it returns DNS_R_RECOVERABLE. this triggers zone_postload()
to force a rewrite of the journal file in the new format, and
also to schedule a dump of the zone database with minimal delay.
journal repair is done by dns_journal_compact(), which rewrites
the entire journal, ignoring 'max-journal-size'. journal size is
corrected later.
newly created journal files now have "BIND LOG V9.2" in their headers
instead of "BIND LOG V9". files with the new version string cannot be
read using the old transaction header format. note that this means
newly created journal files will be rejected by older versions of named.
named-journalprint now takes a "-x" option, causing it to print
transaction header information before each delta, including its
format version.
Add a new option 'purge-keys' to 'dnssec-policy' that will purge key
files for deleted keys. The option determines how long key files
should be retained prior to removing the corresponding files from
disk.
If set to 0, the option is disabled and 'named' will not remove key
files from disk.
