We must have the error number around when completing the transaction.
Let's hence make sure we always initialize it *first* (we accidentally
did it once after).
Fixes: #11626
Patch contains a coccinelle script, but it only works in some cases. Many
parts were converted by hand.
Note: I did not fix errors in return value handing. This will be done separate
to keep the patch comprehensible. No functional change is intended in this
patch.
Change the resolved.conf Cache option to a tri-state "no, no-negative, yes" values.
If a lookup returns SERVFAIL systemd-resolved will cache the result for 30s (See 201d995),
however, there are several use cases on which this condition is not acceptable (See systemd#5552 comments)
and the only workaround would be to disable cache entirely or flush it , which isn't optimal.
This change adds the 'no-negative' option when set it avoids putting in cache
negative answers but still works the same heuristics for positive answers.

We use stream objects in four different cases: let's track them.
This in particular allows us to make sure the limit on outgoing streams
cannot be exhausted by having incoming streams as this means we can
neatly separate the counters for all four types.
There's no value in authenticating SOA RRs that are neither answer to
our question nor parent of our question (the latter being relevant so
that we have a TTL from the SOA field for negative caching of the actual
query).
By being to eager here, and trying to authenticate too much we run the
risk of creating cyclic deps between our transactions which then causes
the over-all authentication to fail.
Fixes: #9771
DnsStream and DnsServer have a symbiotic relationship: one DnsStream is
the current "default" stream of the server (and thus reffed by it), but
each stream also refs the server it is connected to. This cyclic
dependency can result in weird situations: when one is
destroyed/unlinked/stopped it needs to unregister itself from the other,
but doing this will trigger unregistration of the other. Hence, let's
make sure we unregister the stream from the server before destroying it,
to break this cycle.
Most likely fixes: #10725
We register an on_packet() handler anyway, which is called first.
There's hence no need to check in on_stream_complete() again, as it is
already taken by that time.
Ideally, coccinelle would strip unnecessary braces too. But I do not see any
option in coccinelle for this, so instead, I edited the patch text using
search&replace to remove the braces. Unfortunately this is not fully automatic,
in particular it didn't deal well with if-else-if-else blocks and ifdefs, so
there is an increased likelikehood be some bugs in such spots.
I also removed part of the patch that coccinelle generated for udev, where we
returns -1 for failure. This should be fixed independently.
The references to the dns_server are now setup after the tls connection is setup.
This ensures that the stream got fully stopped when the initial tls setup failed
instead of having the unref being blocked by the reference to the stream by the server.
Therefore on_stream_io would no longer be called with a half setup encrypted connection.
Fixes the issue reported in #9838.
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
DNS queries need timeout values to detect whether a DNS server is
unresponsive or, if the query is sent over UDP, whether a DNS message
was lost and has to be resent. The total time that it takes to answer a
query to arrive is t + RTT, where t is the maximum time that the DNS
server that is being queried needs to answer the query.
An authoritative server stores a copy of the zone that it serves in main
memory or secondary storage, so t is very small and therefore the time
that it takes to answer a query is almost entirely determined by the
RTT. Modern authoritative server software keeps its zones in main memory
and, for example, Knot DNS and NSD are able to answer in less than
100 µs [1]. So iterative resolvers continuously measure the RTT to
optimize their query timeouts and to resend queries more quickly if they
are lost.
systemd-resolved is a stub resolver: it forwards DNS queries to an
upstream resolver and waits for an answer. So the time that it takes for
systemd-resolved to answer a query is determined by the RTT and the time
that it takes the upstream resolver to answer the query.
It seems common for iterative resolver software to set a total timeout
for the query. Such total timeout subsumes the timeout of all queries
that the iterative has to make to answer a query. For example, BIND
seems to use a default timeout of 10 s.
At the moment systemd-resolved derives its query timeout entirely from
the RTT and does not consider the query timeout of the upstream
resolver. Therefore it often mistakenly degrades the feature set of its
upstream resolvers if it takes them longer than usual to answer a query.
It has been reported to be a considerable problem in practice, in
particular if DNSSEC=yes. So the query timeout systemd-resolved should
be derived from the timeout of the upstream resolved and the RTT to the
upstream resolver.
At the moment systemd-resolved measures the RTT as the time that it
takes the upstream resolver to answer a query. This clearly leads to
incorrect measurements. In order to correctly measure the RTT
systemd-resolved would have to measure RTT separately and continuously,
for example with a query with an empty question section or a query for
the SOA RR of the root zone so that the upstream resolver would be able
to answer to query without querying another server. However, this
requires significant changes to systemd-resolved. So it seems best to
postpone them until other issues have been addressed and to set the
resend timeout to a fixed value for now.
As mentioned, BIND seems to use a timeout of 10 s, so perhaps 12 s is a
reasonable value that also accounts for common RTT values. If we assume
that the we are going to retry, it could be less. So it should be enough
to set the resend timeout to DNS_TIMEOUT_MAX_USEC as
DNS_SERVER_FEATURE_RETRY_ATTEMPTS * DNS_TIMEOUT_MAX_USEC = 15 s.
However, this will not solve the incorrect feature set degradation and
should be seen as a temporary change until systemd-resolved does
probe the feature set of an upstream resolver independently from the
actual queries.
