The netmgr_test unit test has been subdivided into tcp_test,
tcpdns_test, tls_test, tlsdns_test, and udp_test components.
These have been updated to use the new loopmgr.
Previously:
* applications were using isc_app as the base unit for running the
application and signal handling.
* networking was handled in the netmgr layer, which would start a
number of threads, each with a uv_loop event loop.
* task/event handling was done in the isc_task unit, which used
netmgr event loops to run the isc_event calls.
In this refactoring:
* the network manager now uses isc_loop instead of maintaining its
own worker threads and event loops.
* the taskmgr that manages isc_task instances now also uses isc_loopmgr,
and every isc_task runs on a specific isc_loop bound to the specific
thread.
* applications have been updated as necessary to use the new API.
* new ISC_LOOP_TEST macros have been added to enable unit tests to
run isc_loop event loops. unit tests have been updated to use this
where needed.
* isc_timer was rewritten using the uv_timer, and isc_timermgr_t was
completely removed; isc_timer objects are now directly created on the
isc_loop event loops.
* the isc_timer API has been simplified. the "inactive" timer type has
been removed; timers are now stopped by calling isc_timer_stop()
instead of resetting to inactive.
* isc_manager now creates a loop manager rather than a timer manager.
* modules and applications using isc_timer have been updated to use the
new API.
This commit introduces new APIs for applications and signal handling,
intended to replace isc_app for applications built on top of libisc.
* isc_app will be replaced with isc_loopmgr, which handles the
starting and stopping of applications. In isc_loopmgr, the main
thread is not blocked, but is part of the working thread set.
The loop manager will start a number of threads, each with a
uv_loop event loop running. Setup and teardown functions can be
assigned which will run when the loop starts and stops, and
jobs can be scheduled to run in the meantime. When
isc_loopmgr_shutdown() is run from any the loops, all loops
will shut down and the application can terminate.
* signal handling will now be handled with a separate isc_signal unit.
isc_loopmgr only handles SIGTERM and SIGINT for application
termination, but the application may install additional signal
handlers, such as SIGHUP as a signal to reload configuration.
* new job running primitives, isc_job and isc_async, have been added.
Both units schedule callbacks (specifying a callback function and
argument) on an event loop. The difference is that isc_job unit is
unlocked and not thread-safe, so it can be used to efficiently
run jobs in the same thread, while isc_async is thread-safe and
uses locking, so it can be used to pass jobs from one thread to
another.
* isc_tid will be used to track the thread ID in isc_loop worker
threads.
* unit tests have been added for the new APIs.
Clean up dns_rdatalist_tordataset() and dns_rdatalist_fromrdataset()
functions by making them return void, because they cannot fail.
Clean up other functions that subsequently cannot fail.
Instead of returning error values from isc_rwlock_*(), isc_mutex_*(),
and isc_condition_*() macros/functions and subsequently carrying out
runtime assertion checks on the return values in the calling code,
trigger assertion failures directly in those macros/functions whenever
any pthread function returns an error, as there is no point in
continuing execution in such a case anyway.
This commit removes an assertion from the unit test which cannot be
guaranteed.
According to the test, exactly one client send must succeed. However,
it cannot really be guaranteed, as do not start to read data in the
accept callback on the server nor attach to the accepted handle. Thus,
we can expect the connection to be closed soon after we have returned
from the callback.
Interestingly enough, the test would pass just fine on TCP because:
a) there are fewer layers involved and thus there is less processing;
b) it is possible for the data to be sent and end up in an internal OS
socket buffer without being touched by an application's code on the
server. In such a case the client's write callback still would be
called successfully;
There is a chance for the test to succeed over TLS as well (as it
happily did before), but as the code has been changed to close unused
connections as soon as possible, the chance is far slimmer now.
What can be guaranteed is:
* cconnects == 1 (number client connections equals 1);
* saccepts == 1 (number of accepted connections equals 1).
The name compression unit test is expanded to check that the compressed
form matches the expected wire pattern.
Record owner names are compressed differently to rdata names by
calling dns_name_towire2 instead of dns_name_towire so check that
owner names are compressed correctly as well.
We do this by adding callbacks for when a node is added or deleted
from the keytable. dns_keytable_add and dns_keytable_delete where
extended to take a callback. dns_keytable_deletekey does not remove
the node so it was not extended.
Similarly to how different code paths reused common client handle
pointers and fetch references despite being logically unrelated, they
also reuse client->recursionquota, the field in which a reference to the
recursion quota is stored. This unnecessarily forces all code using
that field to be aware of the fact that it is overloaded by different
features.
Overloading client->recursionquota also causes inconsistent behavior.
For example, if prefetch code triggers recursion and then delegation
handling code also triggers recursion, only one of these code paths will
be able to attach to the recursion quota, but both recursions will be
started anyway. In other words, each code path only checks whether the
recursion quota has not been exceeded if the quota has not yet been
attached to by another code path. This behavior theoretically allows
the configured recursion quota to be slightly exceeded; while it is not
expected to be a real-world operational issue, it is still confusing and
should therefore be fixed.
Extend the structures comprising the 'recursions' array with a new field
holding a pointer to the recursion quota that a given recursion process
attached to. Update all code paths using client->recursionquota so that
they use the appropriate slot in the 'recursions' array. Drop the
'recursionquota' field from ns_client_t.
Async hooks are the last feature using the client->fetchhandle and
client->query.fetch pointers. Update ns_query_hookasync() and
query_hookresume() so that they use a dedicated slot in the 'recursions'
array. Note that async hooks are still not expected to initiate
recursion if one was already started by a prior ns_query_recurse() call,
so the REQUIRE assertion in ns_query_hookasync() needs to check the
RECTYPE_NORMAL slot rather than the RECTYPE_HOOK one.
Affected unit tests load testdata from the srcdir. Previously, there
was a kludge that chdir()ed to the tests srcdir, but that get removed
during refactoring. Instead of introducing the kludge again, the paths
were fixed to be properly prefixed with TESTS_DIR as needed.
The libtest.la headers were installed in very weird place, in fact, we
don't need to list them in the HEADERS variable, listing them in SOURCES
is enough for autotools to figure out how to compile the convenience
library.
It's wasteful to use 20 bytes and a pointer indirection to represent
two bits of information, so turn the struct into an enum. And change
the names of the enumeration constants to make the intent more clear.
This change introduces some inline functions into another header,
which confuses `gcovr` when it is trying to collect code coverage
statistics. So, in the CI job, copy more header files into a directory
where `gcovr` looks for them.
The aim is to get rid of the obsolete term "GLOBAL14" and instead just
refer to DNS name compression.
This is mostly mechanically renaming
from dns_(de)compress_(get|set)methods()
to dns_(de)compress_(get|set)permitted()
and replacing the related enum by a simple flag, because compression
is either on or off.
There was a proposal in the late 1990s that it might, but it turned
out to be unworkable. See RFC 6891, Extension Mechanisms for
DNS (EDNS(0)), section 5, Extended Label Types.
The remnants of the code that supported this in BIND are redundant.
Move the libtest code into a 'libtest' subdirectory and make it
one of the SUBDIRS in the tests Makefile. having it at the top level
required having "." as one of the subdirs, and that caused the
unit tests to be executed twice.
The unit tests are now using a common base, which means that
lib/dns/tests/ code now has to include lib/isc/include/isc/test.h and
link with lib/isc/test.c and lib/ns/tests has to include both libisc and
libdns parts.
Instead of cross-linking code between the directories, move the
/lib/<foo>/test.c to /tests/<foo>.c and /lib/<foo>/include/<foo>test.h
to /tests/include/tests/<foo>.h and create a single libtest.la
convenience library in /tests/.
At the same time, move the /lib/<foo>/tests/ to /tests/<foo>/ (but keep
it symlinked to the old location) and adjust paths accordingly. In few
places, we are now using absolute paths instead of relative paths,
because the directory level has changed. By moving the directories
under the /tests/ directory, the test-related code is kept in a single
place and we can avoid referencing files between libns->libdns->libisc
which is unhealthy because they live in a separate Makefile-space.
In the future, the /bin/tests/ should be merged to /tests/ and symlink
kept, and the /fuzz/ directory moved to /tests/fuzz/.
