There were several methods how we used 'argv[0]'. Some programs had a
static value, some programs did use isc_file_progname(), some programs
stripped 'lt-' from the beginning of the name. And some used argv[0]
directly.
Unify the handling and all the variables into isc_commandline_progname
that gets populated by the new isc_commandline_init(argc, argv) call.
Instead of giving the memory pools names with an explicit call to
isc_mempool_setname(), add the name to isc_mempool_create() call to have
all the memory pools an unconditional name.
Instead of giving the memory context names with an explicit call to
isc_mem_setname(), add the name to isc_mem_create() call to have all the
memory contexts an unconditional name.
The memory context for isc_managers and dst_api units had no name and
that was causing trouble with the statistics channel output. Set the
name for the two memory context that were missing a proper name.
After b171cacf4f, a zone object can
remain in the memory for a while, until garbage collection is run.
Setting the DNS_ZONEFLG_EXITING flag should prevent the zone
maintenance function from running while it's in that state.
Otherwise, a secondary zone could initiate a zone transfer after
it had been deleted.
When request manager shuts down, it also shuts down all its ongoing
requests. Currently it calls their callback functions with a
ISC_R_SHUTTINGDOWN result code for the request. Since a request
manager can shutdown not only during named shutdown but also during
named reconfiguration, instead of sending ISC_R_SHUTTINGDOWN result
code send a ISC_R_CANCELED code to avoid confusion and errors with
the expectation that a ISC_R_SHUTTINGDOWN result code can only be
received during actual shutdown of named.
All the callback functions which are passed to either the
dns_request_create() or the dns_request_createraw() functions have
been analyzed to confirm that they can process both the
ISC_R_SHUTTINGDOWN and ISC_R_CANCELED result codes. Changes were
made where it was necessary.
When the zone.c:refresh_callback() callback function is called during
a SOA request before a zone transfer, it can receive a
ISC_R_SHUTTINGDOWN result for the sent request when named is shutting
down, and in that case it just destroys the request and finishes the
ongoing transfer, without clearing the DNS_ZONEFLG_REFRESH flag of the
zone. This is alright when named is going to shutdown, but currently
the callback can get a ISC_R_SHUTTINGDOWN result also when named is
reconfigured during the ongoibg SOA request. In that case, leaving the
DNS_ZONEFLG_REFRESH flag set results in the zone never being able
to refresh again, because any new attempts will be caneled while
the flag is set. Clear the DNS_ZONEFLG_REFRESH flag on the 'exiting'
error path of the callback function.
replace the pattern `for (result = dns_rdataset_first(x); result ==
ISC_R_SUCCES; result = dns_rdataset_next(x)` with a new
`DNS_RDATASET_FOREACH` macro throughout BIND.
the import_rdataset() function can't return any value other
than ISC_R_SUCCESS, so it's been changed to void and its callers
don't rely on its return value any longer.
the comments for some calls in the dns_message API specified
requirements which were not actually enforced in the functions.
in most cases, this has now been corrected by adding the missing
REQUIREs. in one case, the comment was incorrect and has been
revised.
previously, ISC_LIST_FOREACH and ISC_LIST_FOREACH_SAFE were
two separate macros, with the _SAFE version allowing entries
to be unlinked during the loop. ISC_LIST_FOREACH is now also
safe, and the separate _SAFE macro has been removed.
similarly, the ISC_LIST_FOREACH_REV macro is now safe, and
ISC_LIST_FOREACH_REV_SAFE has also been removed.
Before implementing adaptive chunk sizing, it was necessary to ensure
that a chunk could hold up to 48 twigs, but the new logic will size-up
new chunks to ensure that the current allocation can succeed.
We exploit the new logic in two ways:
- We make the minimum chunk size smaller than the old limit of 2^6,
reducing memory consumption.
- We make the maximum chunk size larger, as it has been observed that
it improves resolver performance.
qp-tries allocate their nodes (twigs) in chunks to reduce allocator
pressure and improve memory locality. The choice of chunk size presents
a tradeoff: larger chunks benefit qp-tries with many values (as seen
in large zones and resolvers) but waste memory in smaller use cases.
Previously, our fixed chunk size of 2^10 twigs meant that even an
empty qp-trie would consume 12KB of memory, while reducing this size
would negatively impact resolver performance.
This commit implements an adaptive chunking strategy that:
- Tracks the size of the most recently allocated chunk.
- Doubles the chunk size for each new allocation until reaching a
predefined maximum.
This approach effectively balances memory efficiency for small tries
while maintaining the performance benefits of larger chunk sizes for
bigger data structures.
This commit also splits the callback freeing qpmultis into two
phases, one that frees the underlying qptree, and one that reclaims
the qpmulti memory. In order to prevent races between the qpmulti
destructor and chunk garbage collection jobs, the second phase is
protected by reference counting.
The `max-rsa-exponent-size` could limit the exponents of the RSA
public keys during the DNSSEC verification. Instead of providing
a cryptic (not cryptographic) knob, hardcode the max exponent to
be 4096 (the theoretical maximum for DNSSEC).
The DST API has been cleaned up, duplicate functions has been squashed
into single call (verify and verify2 functions), and couple of unused
functions have been completely removed (createctx2, computesecret,
paramcompare, and cleanup).
This new option sets the delay, in seconds, to wait before sending
a set of NOTIFY messages for a zone. Whenever a NOTIFY message is
ready to be sent, sending will be deferred for this duration.
In a previous change, the "algorithm" value passed to
dns_tsigkey_create() was changed from a DNS name to an integer;
the name was then chosen from a table of known algorithms. A
side effect of this change was that a query using an unknown TSIG
algorithm was no longer handled correctly, and could trigger an
assertion failure. This has been corrected.
The dns_tsigkey struct now stores the signing algorithm
as dst_algorithm_t value 'alg' instead of as a dns_name,
but retains an 'algname' field, which is used only when the
algorithm is DST_ALG_UNKNOWN. This allows the name of the
unrecognized algorithm name to be returned in a BADKEY
response.
When we optimised the closest encloser NSEC3 discovery the maxlabels
variable was used in the binary search. The updated value was later
used to add the NO QNAME NSEC3 but that block of code needed the
original value. This resulted in the wrong NSEC3 sometimes being
chosen to perform this role.
If a call_rcu thread is running, there is a possible race condition
where the destructors run before all call_rcu callbacks have finished
running. This can happen, for example, if the call_rcu callback tries to
log something after the logging context has been torn down.
In !10394, we tried to counter this by explicitely creating a call_rcu
thread an shutting it down before running the destructors, but it is
possible for things to "slip" and end up on the default call_rcu thread.
As a quickfix, this commit moves an rcu_barrier() that was in the mem
context destructor earlier, so that it "protects" all libisc
destructors.
Previously all kinds of TCP timeouts had a single getter and setter
functions. Separate each timeout to its own getter/setter functions,
because in majority of cases only one is required at a time, and it's
not optimal expanding those functions every time a new timeout value
is implemented.
The checkds_send_toaddr() function uses hardcoded timeout values
for both UDP and TCP, however, with TCP named has configurable
timeout values. Slightly refactor the timeouts calculation part
and use the configured 'tcp-initial-timeout' value as the connect
timeout.
The notify_send_toaddr() function uses hardcoded timeout values
for both UDP and TCP, however, with TCP named has configurable
timeout values. Slightly refactor the timeouts calculation part
and use the configured 'tcp-initial-timeout' value as the connect
timeout.
The new 'tcp-primaries-timeout' configuration option works the same way
as the existing 'tcp-initial-timeout' option, but applies only to the
TCP connections made to the primary servers, so that the timeout value
can be set separately for them. The default is 15 seconds.
Also, while accommodating zone.c's code to support the new option, make
a light refactoring with the way UDP timeouts are calculated by using
definitions instead of hardcoded values.
The 'qpnode->nsec' structure member isn't protected by a lock and
there's a data race between the reading and writing parts in the
qpcache_addrdataset() function. Use a node read lock for accessing
'qpnode->nsec' in qpcache_addrdataset(). Add an additional
'qpnode->nsec != DNS_DB_NSEC_HAS_NSEC' check under a write lock
to be sure that no other competing thread changed it in the time
when the read lock is unlocked and a write lock is not acquired
yet.
When 'stale-answer-client-timeout' is 0, named is allowed to return
a stale answer immediately, while also initiating a new query to get
the real answer. This mode is activated in ns__query_start() by setting
the 'qctx->options.stalefirst' optoin to 'true' before calling the
query_lookup() function, but not when the zone is known to be
authoritative to the server. When the zone is authoritative, and
query_looup() finds out that the requested name is a delegation,
then before proceeding with the query, named tries to look it up
in the cache first. Here comes the issue that it doesn't consider
enabling 'qctx->options.stalefirst' in this case, and so the
'stale-answer-client-timeout 0' setting doesn't work for those
delegated zones - instead of immediately returning the stale answer
(if it exists), named tries to resolve it.
Fix this issue by enabling 'qctx->options.stalefirst' in the
query_zone_delegation() function just before named looks up the name
in the cache using a new query_lookup() call. Also, if nothing was
found in the cache, don't initiate another query_lookup() from inside
query_notfound(), and let query_notfound() do its work, i.e. it will
call query_delegation() for further processing.
Split the YAML display of the EDNS COOKIE option into CLIENT and SERVER
parts. The STATUS of the EDNS COOKIE in the reply is now a YAML element
rather than a comment.
The offical EDNS option name for "UL" is "UPDATE-LEASE". We now
emit "UPDATE-LEASE" instead of "UL", when printing messages, but
"UL" has been retained as an alias on the command line.
Update leases consist of 1 or 2 values, LEASE and KEY-LEASE. These
components are now emitted separately so they can be easily extracted
from YAML output. Tests have been added to check YAML correctness.
When rendering text, such as domain names or the EXTRA-TEXT
field of the EDE option, backslashes and quotation marks must
be escaped to ensure that the emitted message is valid YAML.
The CHAIN and REPORT-CHANNEL EDNS options are both domain names, so they
can be combined. THE CLIENT-TAG and SERVER-TAG EDNS options are both 16
bit integers, so they can be combined.
The custom allocation API for libxml2 is deprecated starting in macOS
Sequoia 15.4, iOS 18.4, tvOS 18.4, visionOS 2.4, and tvOS 18.4.
Disable the memory function override for libxml2 when
LIBXML_HAS_DEPRECATED_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_FUNCTIONS is defined as Apple
broke the system-wide libxml2 starting with macOS Sequoia 15.4.
When isc__thread_initialize() is called from a library constructor, it
could be called before we fork the main process. This happens with
named, and then we have the call_rcu_thread attached to the pre-fork
process and not the post-fork process, which means that the initial
process will never shutdown, because there's noone to tell it so.
Move the isc__thread_initialize() and isc__thread_shutdown() to the
isc_loop unit where we call it before creating the extra thread and
after joining all the extra threads respectively.
The *DB_VIRTUAL value was introduced to allow the clients (presumably
ns_clients) that has been running for some time to access the cached
data that was valid at the time of its inception. The default value
of 5 minutes is way longer than longevity of the ns_client object as
the resolver will give up after 2 minutes.
Reduce the value to 10 seconds to accomodate to honour the original
more closely, but still allow some leeway for clients that started some
time in the past.
Our measurements show that even setting this value to 0 has no
statistically significant effect, thus the value of 10 seconds should be
on the safe side.
This will help identify the broken server if we happen to break
EDNS version negotiation. It will also help protect the client
from spoofed BADVERSION responses.
We were failing to account for the length byte before the OID.
See RFC 4034.
Algorithm number 254 is reserved for private use and will never be
assigned to a specific algorithm. The public key area in the DNSKEY
RR and the signature area in the RRSIG RR begin with an unsigned
length byte followed by a BER encoded Object Identifier (ISO OID) of
that length. The OID indicates the private algorithm in use, and the
remainder of the area is whatever is required by that algorithm.
Entities should only use OIDs they control to designate their private
algorithms.
If the nested DNS validator ends up in the same fetch because of the
loops, the code could be copying the EDE codes from the same source EDE
context as the destination EDE context. Skip copying the EDE codes if
the source and the destination is the same.
