With 737d10f ("BUG/MEDIUM: dns: ensure ring offset is properly reajusted
to head") relative offset calculation was fixed in dns_session_io_handler()
and dns_process_req() functions.
But if we compare with the changes performed in the patch that introduced
the bug: d9c7188 ("MEDIUM: ring: make the offset relative to the head/tail
instead of absolute"), we can see that dns_resolve_send() is missing from
the patch.
Applying both 737d10f + ("BUG/MINOR: dns: fix ring offset calculation on
first read") to dns_resolve_send() function.
With this last commit, we should be back at pre d9c7188 behavior.
No backport needed.
With 737d10f ("BUG/MEDIUM: dns: ensure ring offset is properly reajusted
to head") ring offset is now properly re-adjusted in dns_session_io_handler()
and dns_process_req().
But the previous patch does not cope well if the first read is performed
on a non-empty ring since relative ofs will be computed from ds->ofs=0 or
dss->ofs_req=0.
In this case: relative offset could become invalid since we mix up relative
offsets with absolute offsets.
To fix this, we apply the same logic performed in d9c7188 ("MEDIUM: ring:
make the offset relative to the head/tail instead of absolute") for the
cli_io_handler_show_ring() function: that is using b_peek_ofs(buf, 0) to
set the contextual offset instead of hard-coding it to 0.
This should be considered as a minor bugfix since this bug was discovered by
reading the code: 737d10f already survived a good amount of stress-tests as
shown in GH #2068.
No backport needed as 737d10f is not marked for backports.
Since the below patch, ring offset calculation for readers has changed.
commit d9c7188633
MEDIUM: ring: make the offset relative to the head/tail instead of absolute
For readers, this requires to adjust their offsets to be relative to the
ring head each time read is resumed. Indeed, buffer head can change any
time a ring_write() is performed after older entries were purged.
This operation was not performed on the DNS code which causes the offset
to become invalid. In most cases, the following BUG_ON() was triggered :
FATAL: bug condition "msg_len + ofs + cnt + 1 > b_data(buf)" matched
at src/dns.c:522
Fix this by adjusting DNS reader offsets when entering
dns_session_io_handler() and dns_process_req().
This bug was reproduced by using a backend with 10 servers using SRV
record resolution on a single resolvers section. A BUG_ON() crash would
occur after less than 5 minutes of process execution.
This does not need to be backported as the above patch is not.
This should fix github issue #2068.
The ring's offset currently contains a perpetually growing custor which
is the number of bytes written from the start. It's used by readers to
know where to (re)start reading from. It was made absolute because both
the head and the tail can change during writes and we needed a fixed
position to know where the reader was attached. But this is complicated,
error-prone, and limits the ability to reduce the lock's coverage. In
fact what is needed is to know where the reader is currently waiting, if
at all. And this location is exactly where it stored its count, so the
absolute position in the buffer (the seek offset from the first storage
byte) does represent exactly this, as it doesn't move (we don't realign
the buffer), and is stable regardless of how head/tail changes with writes.
This patch modifies this so that the application code now uses this
representation instead. The most noticeable change is the initialization,
where we've kept ~0 as a marker to go to the end, and it's now set to
the tail offset instead of trying to resolve the current write offset
against the current ring's position.
The offset was also used at the end of the consuming loop, to detect
if a new write had happened between the lock being released and taken
again, so as to wake the consumer(s) up again. For this we used to
take a copy of the ring->ofs before unlocking and comparing with the
new value read in the next lock. Since it's not possible to write past
the current reader's location, there's no risk of complete rollover, so
it's sufficient to check if the tail has changed.
Note that the change also has an impact on the haring consumer which
needs to adapt as well. But that's good in fact because it will rely
on one less variable, and will use offsets relative to the buffer's
head, and the change remains backward-compatible.
It was done by hand by callers when a shutdown for read or write was
performed. It is now always handled by the functions performing the
shutdown. This way the callers don't take care of it. This will avoid some
bugs.
An endpoint should now set SE_FL_EXP_NO_DATA flag if it does not expect any
data from the opposite endpoint. This way, the stream will be able to
disable any read timeout on the opposite endpoint. Applets should use
applet_expect_no_data() and applet_expect_data() functions to set or clear
the flag. For now, only dns and sink forwarder applets are concerned.
Read and write timeouts (.rto and .wto) are now replaced by an unique
timeout, call .ioto. Since the recent refactoring on channel's timeouts,
both use the same value, the client timeout on client side and the server
timeout on the server side. Thus, this part may be simplified. Now it
represents the I/O timeout.
These timers are related to the I/O. Thus it is logical to move them into
the SE descriptor. The patch is a bit huge but it is just a
replacement. However it is error-prone.
From the stconn or the stream, helper functions are used to get, set or
reset these timers. This simplify the timers manipulations.
Read and write timeouts concerns the I/O. Thus, it is logical to move it into
the stconn. At the end, the stream is responsible to detect the timeouts. So
it is logcial to have these values in the stconn and not in the SE
descriptor. But it may change depending on the recfactoring.
So, now:
* scf->rto is used instead of req->rto
* scf->wto is used instead of res->wto
* scb->rto is used instead of res->rto
* scb->wto is used instead of req->wto
In applets, we stop processing when a write error (CF_WRITE_ERROR) or a shutdown
for writes (CF_SHUTW) is detected. However, any write error leads to an
immediate shutdown for writes. Thus, it is enough to only test if CF_SHUTW is
set.
CF_READ_NULL flag is not really useful and used. It is a transient event
used to wakeup the stream. As we will see, all read events on a channel may
be resumed to only one and are all used to wake up the stream.
In this patch, we introduce CF_READ_EVENT flag as a replacement to
CF_READ_NULL. There is no breaking change for now, it is just a
rename. Gradually, other read events will be merged with this one.
When a new DNS session is created, all its fields are not properly
initialized. For instance, "tx_msg_offset" can have any value after the
allocation. So, to fix the bug, pool_zalloc() is now used to allocate new
DNS session.
This patch should fix the issue #1781. It must be backported as far as 2.4.
fd_insert() was already given a thread group ID and a global thread mask.
Now we're changing the few callers to take the group-local thread mask
instead. It's passed directly into the FD's thread mask. Just like for
previous commit, it must not change anything when a single group is
configured.
The file descriptors will need to know the thread group ID in addition
to the mask. This extends fd_insert() to take the tgid, and will store
it into the FD.
In the FD, the tgid is stored as a combination of tgid on the lower 16
bits and a refcount on the higher 16 bits. This allows to know when it's
really possible to trust the tgid and the running mask. If a refcount is
higher than 1 it indeed indicates another thread else might be in the
process of updating these values.
Since a closed FD must necessarily have a zero refcount, a test was
added to fd_insert() to make sure that it is the case.
This macro was used both for binding and for lookups. When binding tasks
or FDs, using all_threads_mask instead is better as it will later be per
group. For lookups, ~0UL always does the job. Thus in practice the macro
was already almost not used anymore since the rest of the code could run
fine with a constant of all ones there.
There's no more reason for keepin the code and definitions in conn_stream,
let's move all that to stconn. The alphabetical ordering of include files
was adjusted.
This file contains all the stream-connector functions that are specific
to application layers of type stream. So let's name it accordingly so
that it's easier to figure what's located there.
The alphabetical ordering of include files was preserved.
An equivalent applet_need_more_data() was added as well since that function
is mostly used from applet code. It makes it much clearer that the applet
is waiting for data from the stream layer.
The analysis of cs_rx_endp_more() showed that the purpose is for a stream
endpoint to inform the connector that it's ready to deliver more data to
that one, and conversely cs_rx_endp_done() that it's done delivering data
so it should not be bothered again for this.
This was modified two ways:
- the operation is no longer performed on the connector but on the
endpoint so that there is no more doubt when reading applet code
about what this rx refers to; it's the endpoint that has more or
no more data.
- an applet implementation is also provided and mostly used from
applet code since it saves the caller from having to access the
endpoint descriptor.
It's visible that the flag ought to be inverted because some places
have to set it by default for no reason.
The new name mor eclearly indicates that a stream connector cannot make
any more progress because it needs room in the channel buffer, or that
it may be unblocked because the buffer now has more room available. The
testing function is sc_waiting_room(). This is mostly used by applets.
Note that the flags will change soon.
This flag is exclusively used when a front applet needs to wait for the
other side to connect (or fail to). Let's give it a more explicit name
and remove the ambiguous function that was used only once.
This also ensures we will not risk to set it back on a new endpoint
after cs_reset_endp() via SE_FL_APP_MASK, because the flag being
specific to the endpoint only and not to the connector, we don't
want to preserve it when replacing the endpoint.
We're starting to propagate the stream connector's new name through the
API. Most call places of these functions that retrieve the channel or its
buffer are in applets. The local variable names are not changed in order
to keep the changes small and reviewable. There were ~92 uses of cs_ic(),
~96 of cs_oc() (due to co_get*() being less factorizable than ci_put*),
and ~5 accesses to the buffer itself.
This applies the change so that the applet code stops using ci_putchk()
and friends everywhere possible, for the much saferapplet_put*() instead.
The change is mechanical but large. Two or three functions used to have no
appctx and a cs derived from the appctx instead, which was a reminiscence
of old times' stream_interface. These were simply changed to directly take
the appctx. No sensitive change was performed, and the old (more complex)
API is still usable when needed (e.g. the channel is already known).
The change touched roughly a hundred of locations, with no less than 124
lines removed.
It's worth noting that the stats applet, the oldest of the series, could
get a serious lifting, as it's still very channel-centric instead of
propagating the appctx along the chain. Given that this code doesn't
change often, there's no emergency to clean it up but it would look
better.
This also follows the natural naming. There are roughly 238 changes, all
totally trivial. conn_stream-t.h has become completely void of any
"conn_stream" related stuff now (except its name).
This renames the "struct conn_stream" to "struct stconn" and updates
the descriptions in all comments (and the rare help descriptions) to
"stream connector" or "connector". This touches a lot of files but
the change is minimal. The local variables were not even renamed, so
there's still a lot of "cs" everywhere.
In the same way than for the tasks, the applets api was changed to be able
to start a new appctx on a thread subset. For now the feature is
disabled. Only appctx_new_here() is working. But it will be possible to
start an appctx on a specific thread or a subset via a mask.
A .init callback function is defined for the dns_session_applet applet. This
function finishes the appctx startup by calling appctx_finalize_startup()
and its handles the stream customization.
The session created for frontend applets is now totally owns by the
corresponding appctx. It means the appctx is now responsible to release
it. This removes the hack in stream_free() about frontend applets to be sure
to release the session.
The two functions became exact copies since there's no more special case
for the appctx owner. Let's merge them into a single one, that simplifies
the code.
This one is the pointer to the conn_stream which is always in the
endpoint that is always present in the appctx, thus it's not needed.
This patch removes it and replaces it with appctx_cs() instead. A
few occurences that were using __cs_strm(appctx->owner) were moved
directly to appctx_strm() which does the equivalent.
This patch adds a lock on the struct dgram_conn to ensure
that an other thread cannot trash a fd or alter its status
while the current thread processing it on for send/receive/connect
operations.
Starting with the 2.4 version this could cause a crash when a DNS
request is failing, setting the FD of the dgram structure to -1. If the
dgram structure is reused after that, a read access to fdtab[-1] is
attempted. The crash was only triggered when compiled with ASAN.
In previous versions the concurrency issue also exists but is less
likely to crash.
This patch must be backported until v2.4 and should be
adapt for v < 2.4.
This flag is no longer needed now that it must always match the presence
of a destination address on the backend conn_stream. Worse, before previous
patch, if it were to be accidently removed while the address is present, it
could result in a leak of that address since alloc_dst_address() would first
be called to flush it.
Its usage has a long history where addresses were stored in an area shared
with the connection, but as this is no longer the case, there's no reason
for putting this burden onto application-level code that should not focus
on setting obscure flags.
The only place where that made a small difference is in the dequeuing code
in case of queue redistribution, because previously the code would first
clear the flag, and only later when trying to deal with the queue, would
release the address. It's not even certain whether there would exist a
code path going to connect_server() without calling pendconn_dequeue()
first (e.g. retries on queue timeout maybe?).
Now the pendconn_dequeue() code will rely on SF_ASSIGNED to decide to
clear and release the address, since that flag is always set while in
a server's queue, and its clearance implies that we don't want to keep
the address. At least it remains consistent and there's no more risk of
leaking it.
This gets rid of most open-coded fcntl() calls, some of which were passed
through DISGUISE() to avoid a useless test. The FD_CLOEXEC was most often
set without preserving previous flags, which could become a problem once
new flags are created. Now this will not happen anymore.
Some older systems may routinely return EWOULDBLOCK for some syscalls
while we tend to check only for EAGAIN nowadays. Modern systems define
EWOULDBLOCK as EAGAIN so that solves it, but on a few older ones (AIX,
VMS etc) both are different, and for portability we'd need to test for
both or we never know if we risk to confuse some status codes with
plain errors.
There were few entries, the most annoying ones are the switch/case
because they require to only add the entry when it differs, but the
other ones are really trivial.
Remaining flags and associated functions are move in the conn-stream
scope. These flags are added on the endpoint and not the conn-stream
itself. This way it will be possible to get them from the mux or the
applet. The functions to get or set these flags are renamed accordingly with
the "cs_" prefix and updated to manipualte a conn-stream instead of a
stream-interface.
si_shutr(), si_shutw(), si_chk_rcv() and si_chk_snd() are moved in the
conn-stream scope and renamed, respectively, cs_shutr(), cs_shutw(),
cs_chk_rcv(), cs_chk_snd() and manipulate a conn-stream instead of a
stream-interface.
The stream-interface state (SI_ST_*) is now in the conn-stream. It is a
mechanical replacement for now. Nothing special. SI_ST_* and SI_SB_* were
renamed accordingly. Utils functions to manipulate these infos were moved
under the conn-stream scope.
But it could be good to keep in mind that this part should be
reworked. Indeed, at the CS level, we only need to know if it is ready to
receive or to send. The state of conn-stream from INI to EST is only used on
the server side. The client CS is immediately set to EST. Thus current
SI_ST_* states should probably be moved to the stream to reflect the server
connection state during the establishment stage.
Flags to disable lingering and half-close are now handled at the conn-stream
level. Thus SI_FL_NOLINGER and SI_FL_NOHALF stream-int flags are replaced by
CS_FL_NOLINGER and CS_FL_NOHALF conn-stream flags.
The source and destination addresses at the applicative layer are moved from
the stream-interface to the conn-stream. This simplifies a bit the code and
it is a logicial step to remove the stream-interface.
At many places, we now use the new CS functions to get a stream or a channel
from a conn-stream instead of using the stream-interface API. It is the
first step to reduce the scope of the stream-interfaces. The main change
here is about the applet I/O callback functions. Before the refactoring, the
stream-interface was the appctx owner. Thus, it was heavily used. Now, as
far as possible,the conn-stream is used. Of course, it remains many calls to
the stream-interface API.
The conn-stream endpoint is now shared between the conn-stream and the
applet or the multiplexer. If the mux or the applet is created first, it is
responsible to also create the endpoint and share it with the conn-stream.
If the conn-stream is created first, it is the opposite.
When the endpoint is only owned by an applet or a mux, it is called an
orphan endpoint (there is no conn-stream). When it is only owned by a
conn-stream, it is called a detached endpoint (there is no mux/applet).
The last entity that owns an endpoint is responsible to release it. When a
mux or an applet is detached from a conn-stream, the conn-stream
relinquishes the endpoint to recreate a new one. This way, the endpoint
state is never lost for the mux or the applet.
