Previously, the fetchlimit tested the recursive-clients soft limit
that's defined as 90% of the hard limit (the actual configured value).
This worked previously because the reaping of the oldest recursive
client was put on the same event queue as the current TCP client, thus
the cleaning has happened before the new TCP client established a new
connection.
With the change in BIND 9.14 that added a multiple event queues the
cleaning of the oldests clients is no longer synchronous and could
happen stochastically making the soft limit testing fail often. The
situation became even worse with the new networking manager, thus we
change the system test to fail only if the hard limit bound is not
honored.
Changing the accounting of the already reaped TCP clients so the soft
limit testing is possible again is out of the scope for this change.
These two tests were failing basically because in order for prefetching to
happen, the TTL for a given DNS record must be greater than or equal to
the prefetch config value + 9.
The previous TTL for both records was 10, while prefetch value in
configuration was 3, thus making only records with TTL >= 12 elligible
for prefetching.
TTL value for both records was adjusted to the value 13, and prefetch
value was set to 4 (inc by 1), so records with TTL (4 + 9) >= 13 are
elligible for prefetching.
Adjusting prefetch value to 4 gives the test 1 second more to avoid time
problems when sharing resources on a heavy loaded PC.
Also prefetch value in settings is now read by the script and used
by it to corrrectly calculate the amount of time needed to delay before
sending a request to trigger prefetch, adding a bit of flexibility to
fine tune the test in the future.
The previous test had two problems:
1. It wasn't written specifically for testing what it was supposed to:
prefetch disabled.
2. It could fail in some circunstances if the computer's load is too
high, due to sleeps not taking parallel tests and cpu load into account.
The new test is testing prefetch disabled as follows:
1. It asks for a txt record for a given domain and takes note of the
record's TTL (which is 10).
2. It sleeps for (TTL - 5) = 5 seconds, having a window of 5 seconds to
issue new queries before the record expires from cache.
3. Three(3) queries are executed in a row, with a interval of 1 second
between them, and for each query we verify that the TTL in response is
less than the previous one, thus ensuring that prefetch is disabled (if
it were enabled this record would have been refreshed already and TTL
would be >= the first TTL).
Having a window of 5 seconds to perform 3 queries with a interval of 1
second between them gives the test a reasonable amount of time
to not suffer from a machine with heavy load.
Previously, the dns_name API used isc_thread_key API for TLS, which is
fairly complicated and requires initialization of memory contexts, etc.
This part of code was refactored to use a ISC_THREAD_LOCAL pointer which
greatly simplifies the whole code related to storing TLS variables.
The saved_command_line buffer in bin/named/main.c is 8192 bytes long.
The size of libisc's internal logging buffer (defined by the value of
the LOG_BUFFER_SIZE constant in lib/isc/log.c) is also 8192 bytes.
Since the buffer containing the ellipsis is passed as the last argument
to isc_log_write() and the buffer containing the potentially trimmed
named command line (saved_command_line) is passed as the second argument
in the same isc_log_write() call, it may happen that saved_command_line
will exhaust all available space in libisc's internal logging buffer, in
which case the ellipsis will be elided from the output.
Make saved_command_line 4096 bytes long as that value is arguably also
large enough for any reasonable use case and at the same time it ensures
ellipsis will always be printed for excessively long named command
lines.
The "runtime" system test currently fails on Windows because it waits
for named to log a message indicating successful startup ("running"),
but that never happens since named on Windows fails to open the
configuration file as its path includes control characters.
Instead of putting control characters in directory names, put them in
the value of the -D command line switch passed to named, which is used
for identifying an instance of named in a process listing and whose
value is completely ignored by named, but still logged.
While a similar check using special characters appears to be working
fine on Windows for the time being, modify it in the same way to avoid
potential future problems on other platforms and make the test cleaner.
This mostly comprises of:
* using $(...) instead of `...`
* changing the directories in subshell and not ignoring `cd` return code
* handling every error gracefully instead of ignoring the return code
The indentation for dumping the master zone was driven by two
global variables dns_master_indent and dns_master_indentstr. In
threaded mode, this becomes prone to data access races, so this commit
converts the global variables into a local per-context tuple that
consist of count and string.
The oldsigs test was checking only for the validity of the A
a.oldsigs.example. resource record and associated DNSSEC signature while
the zone might not have been fully signed yet leading to validation
failures because of bogus signatures on the validation path.
This commit changes the test to test that all old signatures in the
oldsigs.example. zone were replaced and the zone is fully resigned
before running the main check.
- restore support for tcp-initial-timeout, tcp-idle-timeout,
tcp-keepalive-timeout and tcp-advertised-timeout configuration
options, which were ineffective previously.
Make the "tcp" system test fail if the Python tool used for establishing
TCP connections (ans6) logs a result different than "OK" after
processing a command sent to it (as that means the tool was unable to
successfully perform the requested action), with the exception of
cleanup errors at the end of the test which can be safely ignored. Note
that the tool not returning any result at all in 10 seconds is still a
fatal error in all cases.
this adds functions in conf.sh.common to create DS-style trust anchor
files. those functions are then used to create nearly all of the trust
anchors in the system tests.
there are a few exceptions:
- some tests in dnssec and mkeys rely on detection of unsupported
algorithms, which only works with key-style trust anchors, so those
are used for those tests in particular.
- the mirror test had a problem with the use of a CSK without a
SEP bit, which still needs addressing
in the future, some of these tests should be changed back to using
traditional trust anchors, so that both types will be exercised going
forward.
use empty placeholder KEYDATA records for all trust anchors, not just
DS-style trust anchors.
this revealed a pre-existing bug: keyfetch_done() skips keys without
the SEP bit when populating the managed-keys zone. consequently, if a
zone only has a single ZSK which is configured as trust anchor and no
KSKs, then no KEYDATA record is ever written to the managed-keys zone
when keys are refreshed.
that was how the root server in the dnssec system test was configured.
however, previously, the KEYDATA was created when the key was
initialized; this prevented us from noticing the bug until now.
configuring a ZSK as an RFC 5011 trust anchor is not forbidden by the
spec, but it is highly unusual and not well defined. so for the time
being, I have modified the system test to generate both a KSK and ZSK
for the root zone, enabling the test to pass.
we should consider adding code to detect this condition and allow keys
without the SEP bit to be used as trust anchors if no key with the SEP
bit is available, or at minimum, log a warning.
