Make sure an incoming IXFR containing an SOA record which is not placed
at the apex of the transferred zone does not result in a broken version
of the zone being served by named and/or a subsequent crash.
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.
This commit adds the ability to consolidate HTTP/2 write requests if
there is already one in flight. If it is the case, the code will
consolidate multiple subsequent write request into a larger one
allowing to utilise the network in a more efficient way by creating
larger TCP packets as well as by reducing TLS records overhead (by
creating large TLS records instead of multiple small ones).
This optimisation is especially efficient for clients, creating many
concurrent HTTP/2 streams over a transport connection at once. This
way, the code might create a small amount of multi-kilobyte requests
instead of many 50-120 byte ones.
In fact, it turned out to work so well that I had to add a work-around
to the code to ensure compatibility with the flamethrower, which, at
the time of writing, does not support TLS records larger than two
kilobytes. Now the code tries to flush the write buffer after 1.5
kilobyte, which is still pretty adequate for our use case.
Essentially, this commit implements a recommendation given by nghttp2
library:

Add a call to posix_fadvise() to indicate to the kernel, that `named`
won't be needing the dumped zone files any time soon with:
* POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED - The specified data will not be accessed in the
near future.
Notes:
POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED attempts to free cached pages associated with the
specified region. This is useful, for example, while streaming large
files. A program may periodically request the kernel to free cached
data that has already been used, so that more useful cached pages are
not discarded instead.
Previously, dumping the zones to the files were quantized, so it doesn't
slow down network IO processing. With the introduction of network
manager asynchronous threadpools, we can move the IO intensive work to
use that API and we don't have to quantize the work anymore as it the
file IO won't block anything except other zone dumping processes.
The libuv has a support for running long running tasks in the dedicated
threadpools, so it doesn't affect networking IO.
This commit adds isc_nm_work_enqueue() wrapper that would wraps around
the libuv API and runs it on top of associated worker loop.
The only limitation is that the function must be called from inside
network manager thread, so the call to the function should be wrapped
inside a (bound) task.
Instead of having a configure check for every missing function that has
been added in later version of libuv, we now use UV_VERSION_HEX to
decide whether we need the shim or not.
The uv_req_get_data() and uv_req_set_data() functions were introduced in
libuv >= 1.19.0, so we need to add compatibility shims with older libuv
versions.
Commit bdb777b2a2 updated the man pages
to contents produced using:
- Sphinx 4.0.2
- sphinx-rtd-theme 0.5.2
- docutils 0.17.1
However, sphinx-rtd-theme 0.5.2 is incompatible with versions 0.17+ of
the docutils package. This problem was addressed in the Docker image
used for building man pages by downgrading the docutils package to
version 0.16.
Regenerate the man pages again, this time using:
- Sphinx 4.0.2
- sphinx-rtd-theme 0.5.2
- docutils 0.16
This is necessary to prevent the "docs" GitLab CI job from failing.
Rather than having an expensive 'expired' (fka 'stale_ttl') in the
rdataset structure, that is only used to be printed in a comment on
ancient RRsets, reuse the TTL field of the RRset.
Commit a83c8cb0af updated masterdump so
that stale records in "rndc dumpdb" output no longer shows 0 TTLs. In
this commit we change the name of the `rdataset->stale_ttl` field to
`rdataset->expired` to make its purpose clearer, and set it to zero in
cases where it's unused.
Add 'rbtdb->serve_stale_ttl' to various checks so that stale records
are not purged from the cache when they've been stale for RBTDB_VIRTUAL
(300) seconds.
Increment 'ns_statscounter_usedstale' when a stale answer is used.
Note: There was a question of whether 'overmem_purge' should be
purging ancient records, instead of stale ones. It is left as purging
stale records, since stale records could take up the majority of the
cache.

This commit was originally authored by Kevin Chen, and was updated by
Matthijs Mekking to match recent serve-stale developments.
Once we resume a query, we should clear DNS_FETCHOPT_TRYSTALE_ONTIMEOUT
from the options to prevent triggering the stale-answer-client-timeout
on subsequent fetches.
If we don't this may cause a crash when for example when prefetch is
triggered after a query restart.
Add a test case where a client request is received and the stale
timeout occurs, but it is not served stale data because there is no entry
in the cache, then is served an authoritative answer once the background
fetch completes. This ensures that a stale timeout only affects a
subsequent response if the client was answered.
when a serve-stale answer has been sent, the client continues waiting
for a proper answer. if a final completion event for the client does
arrive, it can just be cleaned up without sending a response, similar
to a canceled fetch.
- send a query for an AAAA which will be resolved as a mapped A
- disable authoritative responses
- wait for the negative AAAA response to become stale
- send another query, wait for the stale answer
- re-enable authorative responses so that a real answer arrives
- currently, this triggers an assertion in query.c
On some platforms, the __attribute__ constructor and destructor won't
take priorities and the compilation failed. On such platform would be
macOS. For this reason, the constructor/destructor in the libisc was
reworked to not use priorities, but have a single constructor and
destructor that calls the appropriate routines in correct order.
This commit removes the extra priority because it's now not needed and
it also breaks a compilation on macOS with GCC 10.
In the shutdown system test multiple queries are sent to a resolver
instance, in the meantime we terminate the same resolver process for
which the queries were sent to, either via rndc stop or a SIGTERM
signal, that means the resolver may not be able to answer all those
queries, since it has initiated the shutdown process.
The dnspython library raises a dns.resolver.NoNameservers exception when
a resolver object fails to receive an answer from the specified list
of nameservers (resolver.nameservers list), we need to handle this
exception as this is something that may happen since we asked the
resolver to terminate, as a result it may not answer clients even if
an answer is available, as the operation will be canceled.
configuring with --enable-mutex-atomics flagged these incorrectly
initialised variables on systems where pthread_mutex_init doesn't
just zero out the structure.
