Rather than fixing this to 5s for unicast DNS and 1s for LLMNR, start
at a tenth of those values and increase exponentially until the old
values are reached. For LLMNR the recommended timeout for IEEE802
networks (which basically means all of the ones we care about) is 100ms,
so that should be uncontroversial. For unicast DNS I have found no
recommended value. However, it seems vastly more likely that hitting a
500ms timeout is casued by a packet loss, rather than the RTT genuinely
being greater than 500ms, so taking this as a startnig value seems
reasonable to me.
In the common case this greatly reduces the latency due to normal packet
loss. Moreover, once we get support for probing for features, this means
that we can send more packets before degrading the feature level whilst
still allowing us to settle on the correct feature level in a reasonable
timeframe.
The timeouts are tracked per server (or per scope for the multicast
protocols), and once a server (or scope) receives a successfull package
the timeout is reset. We also track the largest RTT for the given
server/scope, and always start our timouts at twice the largest
observed RTT.
This patch removes includes that are not used. The removals were found with
include-what-you-use which checks if any of the symbols from a header is
in use.
It is redundant to store 'hash' and 'compare' function pointers in
struct Hashmap separately. The functions always comprise a pair.
Store a single pointer to struct hash_ops instead.
systemd keeps hundreds of hashmaps, so this saves a little bit of
memory.
We now maintain two lists of DNS servers: system servers and fallback
servers.
system servers are used in combination with any per-link servers.
fallback servers are only used if there are no system servers or
per-link servers configured.
The system server list is supposed to be populated from a foreign tool's
/etc/resolv.conf (not implemented yet).
Also adds a configuration switch for LLMNR, that allows configuring
whether LLMNR shall be used simply for resolving or also for responding.
networkd will expose both statically configured DNS servers and servers
receieved over DHCP in sd_network_get_dns(), so no need to keep
the distinction in resolved.
Let's settle on a single type for all address family values, even if
UNIX is very inconsitent on the precise type otherwise. Given that
socket() is the primary entrypoint for the sockets API, and that uses
"int", and "int" is relatively simple and generic, we settle on "int"
for this.
Let's turn resolved into a something truly useful: a fully asynchronous
DNS stub resolver that subscribes to network changes.
(More to come: caching, LLMNR, mDNS/DNS-SD, DNSSEC, IDN, NSS module)
