The usage of port and tls arguments in *-source and *-source-v6 named
configuration options has been previously removed. Remove
configuration check deprecating usage of those arguments.
QPDB is now a default implementation for both cache and zone. Remove
the venerable RBTDB database implementation, so we can fast-track the
changes to the database without having to implement the design changes
to both QPDB and RBTDB and this allows us to be more aggressive when
refactoring the database design.
DNSRPS was the API for a commercial implementation of Response-Policy
Zones that was supposedly better. However, it was never open-sourced
and has only ever been available from a single vendor. This goes against
the principle that the open-source edition of BIND 9 should contain only
features that are generally available and universal.
This commit removes the DNSRPS implementation from BIND 9. It may be
reinstated in the subscription edition if there's enough interest from
customers, but it would have to be rewritten as a plugin (hook) instead
of hard-wiring it again in so many places.
Remove the use of "port" when configuring query-source(-v6),
transfer-source(-v6), notify-source(-v6), parental-source(-v6),
etc. Remove the use of source ports for parental-agents.
Also remove the deprecated options use-{v4,v6}-udp-ports and
avoid-{v4,v6}udp-ports.
On systems where root access is needed to configure privileged
ports, we don't want to fully relinquish root privileges until
after the control channel (which typically runs on port 953) has
been established.
named_os_changeuser() now takes a boolean argument 'permanent'.
This allows us to switch the effective userid temporarily with
named_os_changeuser(false) and restore it with named_os_restoreuser(),
before permanently dropping privileges with named_os_changeuser(true).
This limits the maximum number of received incremental zone
transfer differences for a secondary server. Upon reaching the
confgiured limit, the secondary aborts IXFR and initiates a full
zone transfer (AXFR).
Add the code and documentation required to provide KSR import using
rndc. This is just the command, and the feature is at this point in
time still not implemented.
named now prints its initial working directory during startup and the
changed working directory when loading or reloading its configuration
file if it has a valid 'directory' option defined.
Add isc_logconfig_get() function to get the current logconfig and use
the getter to replace most of the little dancing around setting up
logging in the tools. Thus:
isc_log_create(mctx, &lctx, &logconfig);
isc_log_setcontext(lctx);
dns_log_setcontext(lctx);
...
...use lcfg...
...
isc_log_destroy();
is now only:
logconfig = isc_logconfig_get(lctx);
...use lcfg...
For thread-safety, isc_logconfig_get() should be surrounded by RCU read
lock, but since we never use isc_logconfig_get() in threaded context,
the only place where it is actually used (but not really needed) is
named_log_init().
This condition in catalog zone processing functions is checked only
for sanity, so there is no meaning for a log message that normally
shouldn't be ever logged.
implement, document, and test the 'max-query-restarts' option
which specifies the query restart limit - the number of times
we can follow CNAMEs before terminating resolution.
Instead of calling dst_lib_init() and dst_lib_destroy() explicitly by
all the programs, create a separate memory context for the DST subsystem
and use the library constructor and destructor to initialize the DST
internals.
The OpenSSL 1.x Engines support has been deprecated in the OpenSSL 3.x
and is going to be removed. Remove the OpenSSL Engine support in favor
of OpenSSL Providers.
When automatic-interface-scan is disabled, the route socket was still
being opened. Add new API to connect / disconnect from the route socket
only as needed.
Additionally, move the block that disables periodic interface rescans to
a place where it actually have access to the configuration values.
Previously, the values were being checked before the configuration was
loaded.
Some external log file rotation programs use signals to tell programs
to close log files. SIGHUP can be used to do this but it also does
a full reconfiguration. Configure named to accept SIGUSR1 as a
signal to close log files.
View matching on an incoming query checks the query's signature,
which can be a CPU-heavy task for a SIG(0)-signed message. Implement
an asynchronous mode of the view matching function which uses the
offloaded signature checking facilities, and use it for the incoming
queries.
This is a tiny helper function which is used only once and can be
replaced with two function calls instead. Removing this makes
supporting asynchronous signature checking less complicated.
In order to protect from a malicious DNS client that sends many
queries with a SIG(0)-signed message, add a quota of simultaneously
running SIG(0) checks.
This protection can only help when named is using more than one worker
threads. For example, if named is running with the '-n 4' option, and
'sig0checks-quota 2;' is used, then named will make sure to not use
more than 2 workers for the SIG(0) signature checks in parallel, thus
leaving the other workers to serve the remaining clients which do not
use SIG(0)-signed messages.
That limitation is going to change when SIG(0) signature checks are
offloaded to "slow" threads in a future commit.
The 'sig0checks-quota-exempt' ACL option can be used to exempt certain
clients from the quota requirements using their IP or network addresses.
The 'sig0checks-quota-maxwait-ms' option is used to define a maximum
amount of time for named to wait for a quota to appear. If during that
time no new quota becomes available, named will answer to the client
with DNS_R_REFUSED.
Previously, the number of RR types for a single owner name was limited
only by the maximum number of the types (64k). As the data structure
that holds the RR types for the database node is just a linked list, and
there are places where we just walk through the whole list (again and
again), adding a large number of RR types for a single owner named with
would slow down processing of such name (database node).
Add a configurable limit to cap the number of the RR types for a single
owner. This is enforced at the database (rbtdb, qpzone, qpcache) level
and configured with new max-types-per-name configuration option that
can be configured globally, per-view and per-zone.
Previously, the number of RRs in the RRSets were internally unlimited.
As the data structure that holds the RRs is just a linked list, and
there are places where we just walk through all of the RRs, adding an
RRSet with huge number of RRs inside would slow down processing of said
RRSets.
Add a configurable limit to cap the number of the RRs in a single RRSet.
This is enforced at the database (rbtdb, qpzone, qpcache) level and
configured with new max-records-per-type configuration option that can
be configured globally, per-view and per-zone.
The high-water allows administrators to better tune the recursive
clients limit without having to to poll the statistics channel in high
rates to get this number.
the previous commit introduced a possible race in getsigningtime()
where the rdataset header could change between being found on the
heap and being bound.
getsigningtime() now looks at the first element of the heap, gathers the
locknum, locks the respective lock, and retrieves the header from the
heap again. If the locknum has changed, it will rinse and repeat.
Theoretically, this could spin forever, but practically, it almost never
will as the heap changes on the zone are very rare.
we simplify matters further by changing the dns_db_getsigningtime()
API call. instead of passing back a bound rdataset, we pass back the
information the caller actually needed: the resigning time, owner name
and type of the rdataset that was first on the heap.
if we had a method to get the running loop, similar to how
isc_tid() gets the current thread ID, we can simplify loop
and loopmgr initialization.
remove most uses of isc_loop_current() in favor of isc_loop().
in some places where that was the only reason to pass loopmgr,
remove loopmgr from the function parameters.
by default, QPDB is the database used by named and all tools and
unit tests. the old default of RBTDB can now be restored by using
"configure --with-zonedb=rbt --with-cachedb=rbt".
some tests have been fixed so they will work correctly with either
database.
CHANGES and release notes have been updated to reflect this change.
replace the string "rbt" throughout BIND with "qp" so that
qpdb databases will be used by default instead of rbtdb.
rbtdb databases can still be used by specifying "database rbt;"
in a zone statement.
With _exit() instead of exit() in place, we don't need
isc__tls_setfatalmode() mechanism as the atexit() calls will not be
executed including OpenSSL atexit hooks.
Since the fatal() isn't a correct but rather abrupt termination of the
program, we want to skip the various atexit() calls because not all
memory might be freed during fatal() call, etc. Using _exit() instead
of exit() has this effect - the program will end, but no destructors or
atexit routines will be called.
Expose the newly added 'first refresh' flag in the information
provided by the 'rndc staus' command, by showing the number of
zones, which are not yet fully ready, and their first refresh
is pending or is in-progress.
