2017-09-04Let generic AVPs be encoded/decoded in alternate dictionariesAnders Svensson
To support specifications like RFC 7683 DOIC, that only define AVPs, not applications. AVPs that aren't known to the application dictionary in question could previously not be decoded. Configuring alternate dictionaries with the new transport/service option avp_dictionaries changes this, so that AVPs like DOIC's Grouped OC-OLR can presented in their fully decoded glory. Encode is also extended, allowing things like the following to be encoded in an outgoing message: 'AVP' => [{'OC-OLR', #{'OC-Sequence-Number' => 1, 'OC-Report-Type' => 0, 'OC-Reduction-Percentage' => [25]}}] A diameter_gen_doic_rfc7683 dictionary is installed, but avp_dictionaries isn't specific to DOIC. This commit also solves the problem demonstrated a few commits back, that application AVPs aren't decoded in answers setting the E-bit. Test coverage will come in a subsequent commit.
2017-09-04Rename field in codec map: dictionary -> app_dictionaryAnders Svensson
To better reflect what the field is: field 'module' is the dictionary module that's calling diameter_gen to decode a list of AVP, while field 'app_dictionary' is the dictionary module defining the message being decoded.
2017-08-10Split AVPs at decodeAnders Svensson
Despite what the Efficiency Guide says about match being more efficient, split_binary appears to be slightly faster. (Although this one extraction is a drop in the bucket.) Binary optimizations aren't an issue during decode.
2017-08-03Optimize sub-binariesAnders Svensson
With ERL_COMPILER_OPTIONS=bin_opt_info, before: base/diameter_codec.erl:508: Warning: NOT OPTIMIZED: the binary matching instruction that follows in the same function have problems that prevent delayed sub binary optimization (probably indicated by INFO warnings) And after: base/diameter_codec.erl:508: Warning: OPTIMIZED: creation of sub binary delayed This has a surprisingly large impact on the performance of diameter_codec:collect_avps/2: about 15% faster in one testcase on a RAR with 7 AVPs.
2017-08-03Count AVPs in #diameter_avp.indexAnders Svensson
The index field in record diameter_avp was previously used to enumerate AVPs so that the list could be returned in some cases, since diameter_codec:collect_avps/2 (now /1) reversed the order. That's no longer the case as of the grandparent commit, so use the field to enumerate instances of the same AVP instead, and only when arities are being checked, to save having to look them up in the map when checking for 5009 errors, or counting AVPs at all in diameter_codec:collect_avps/1.
2017-08-03Redo message decode as a single passAnders Svensson
Decode has previously been two passes: first chunk the message into a reversed list of toplevel diameter_avp records, then fold through the reversed list to build the full result. Various workarounds have made it a bit more convoluted than it should be however. Rework it completely, turning the previous 2-pass tail-recursive implementation into a 1-pass body recursive one. The relay decode still exists in diameter_codec, as a stripped down version of the full decode in diameter_gen.
2017-08-03Tweak map-valued decodeAnders Svensson
Use the same [MsgName | Avps] representation as for the list decode, but with Avps a map instead of a AVP name/values list. As a result, don't set the message/AVP name on an additional key in the map, which felt a bit odd. Messages are [MsgName :: atom() | map()], Grouped AVPs are just map(). Fix at least one problem in the traffic suite along the way: with decode_format false, the own decode in to_map/2 didn't know whether or not to decode strings, resulting on some failures.
2017-08-03Rename record_decode -> decode_formatAnders Svensson
{record_decode, map} is a bit too quirky.
2017-08-03Let messages and grouped AVPs be decoded to listsAnders Svensson
That is, decode to the same format that encode already accepts. Only a message has its name at the head of the list since AVPs are already name/value pairs.
2017-08-03Let messages and grouped AVPs be encoded/decoded from/to mapsAnders Svensson
With {record_decode, map}. The option name is arguably a bit misleading now, but not too objectionable given that the encode/decode in question has historically only been of records. One advantage of the map decode is that the map only contains values for those AVPs existing in the message or grouped AVP in question. The name of the message or grouped AVP is stored in with key ':name', the leading colon ensuring that the key isn't a diameter-name. Decoding to maps makes the hrl files generated from dictionary files largely irrelevant. There are value defines generated into these, but they're typically so long as to be unusable.
2017-08-03Add service_opt() record_decodeAnders Svensson
To control whether or not messages and grouped AVPs are decoded to records, in #diameter_packet.msg and #diameter_avp.value respectively. The decode became unnecessary for diameter's needs in parent commit, which decoupled it from the checking of AVP arities.
2017-08-03Fix obsolete diameter_gen.hrl commentsAnders Svensson
Most of the contents were moved to module diameter_gen in commit 205521d3.
2017-06-13Restore diameter_codec:decode/2, update diameter_codec(3)Anders Svensson
The documentation has been out of date since the string_decode option was added in commit 1590920c. The optionless decode/2 was removed in the commit that removed the use of the process dictionary in decode.
2017-06-13Add diameter_codec option ordered_encodeAnders Svensson
To allow list-valued messaged to be encoded in the specified order, instead of in the dictionary order by first converting the list to a record. This is not yet exposed in configuration.

2017-06-12Don't create intermediate binaries unnecessarily during encodeAnders Svensson
Dict:avp(encode, Value, Name) no longer needs to return a binary, only an iolist(). Message encode runs list_to_binary/1 to convert accumulated lists into a message binary.
2017-06-12Fix encode of Grouped AVP as {Dict, Name, Data}Anders Svensson
This is a special case to allow encode of something other than an iolist. Eg. #diameter_avp{data = {diameter_gen_base_rfc6733, 'Proxy-Info', [{'Proxy-Host', "HOST"}, {'Proxy-State', "STATE"}]}} Only worked as expected for AVPs of type other than Grouped.

* anders/diameter/M-bit/OTP-12947: Add service_opt() strict_mbit
2015-08-25Add service_opt() strict_mbitAnders Svensson
There are differing opinions on whether or not reception of an arbitrary AVP setting the M-bit is an error. 1.3.4 of RFC 6733 says this about how an existing Diameter application may be modified: o The M-bit allows the sender to indicate to the receiver whether or not understanding the semantics of an AVP and its content is mandatory. If the M-bit is set by the sender and the receiver does not understand the AVP or the values carried within that AVP, then a failure is generated (see Section 7). It is the decision of the protocol designer when to develop a new Diameter application rather than extending Diameter in other ways. However, a new Diameter application MUST be created when one or more of the following criteria are met: M-bit Setting An AVP with the M-bit in the MUST column of the AVP flag table is added to an existing Command/Application. An AVP with the M-bit in the MAY column of the AVP flag table is added to an existing Command/Application. The point here is presumably interoperability: that the command grammar should specify explicitly what mandatory AVPs much be understood, and that anything more is an error. On the other hand, 3.2 says thus about command grammars: avp-name = avp-spec / "AVP" ; The string "AVP" stands for *any* arbitrary AVP ; Name, not otherwise listed in that Command Code ; definition. The inclusion of this string ; is recommended for all CCFs to allow for ; extensibility. This renders 1.3.4 pointless unless "*any* AVP" is qualified by "not setting the M-bit", since the sender can effectively violate 1.3.4 without this necessitating an error at the receiver. If clients add arbitrary AVPs setting the M-bit then request handling becomes more implementation-dependent. The current interpretation in diameter is strict: if a command grammar doesn't explicitly allow an AVP setting the M-bit then reception of such an AVP is regarded as an error. The strict_mbit option now allows this behaviour to be changed, false turning all responsibility for the M-bit over to the user.

The diffs are all about adapting to the OTP 18 time interface. The code was previously backwards compatible, falling back on the erlang:now/0 if erlang:monotonic_time/0 is unavailable, but this was seen to be a bad thing in commit 9c0f2f2c. Use of erlang:now/0 is now removed.

2015-08-04Fix relay encode of decoded diameter_avp listsAnders Svensson
Commit c74b593a fixed the problem that a decoded deep diameter_avp list couldn't be encoded, but did so in the wrong way: there's no need to reencode component AVPs since the Grouped AVP itself already contains the encoded binary. The blunder caused diameter_codec:pack_avp/1 to fail if the first element of the AVP list to be encoded was itself a list. Thanks to Andrzej Trawiński for reporting the problem.

2015-06-18Fix decode of Grouped AVPs containing errorsAnders Svensson
RFC 6733 says this of Failed-AVP in 7.5: In the case where the offending AVP is embedded within a Grouped AVP, the Failed-AVP MAY contain the grouped AVP, which in turn contains the single offending AVP. The same method MAY be employed if the grouped AVP itself is embedded in yet another grouped AVP and so on. In this case, the Failed-AVP MAY contain the grouped AVP hierarchy up to the single offending AVP. This enables the recipient to detect the location of the offending AVP when embedded in a group. It says this of DIAMETER_INVALID_AVP_LENGTH in 7.1.5: The request contained an AVP with an invalid length. A Diameter message indicating this error MUST include the offending AVPs within a Failed-AVP AVP. In cases where the erroneous AVP length value exceeds the message length or is less than the minimum AVP header length, it is sufficient to include the offending AVP header and a zero filled payload of the minimum required length for the payloads data type. If the AVP is a Grouped AVP, the Grouped AVP header with an empty payload would be sufficient to indicate the offending AVP. In the case where the offending AVP header cannot be fully decoded when the AVP length is less than the minimum AVP header length, it is sufficient to include an offending AVP header that is formulated by padding the incomplete AVP header with zero up to the minimum AVP header length. The AVPs placed in the errors field of a diameter_packet record are intended to be appropriate for inclusion in a Failed-AVP, but neither of the above paragraphs has been followed in the Grouped case: the entire faulty AVP (non-faulty components and all) has been included. This made it impossible to identify the actual faulty AVP in all but simple case. This commit adapts the decode to the RFC, and implements the suggested single faulty AVP, nested in as many Grouped containers as required. The best-effort decode of Failed-AVP in answer messages, initially implemented in commit 0f9cdbaf, is also applied.
2015-04-03Remove extra avp bit from diameter_avp decodeAnders Svensson
In the case of a faulty AVP Length (pointing past the end of a message or not spanning the header), an extra bit is prepended to data bytes in diameter_avp:collect_avps/1 in order to force a 5014 decode error. The bit is supposed to be removed as part of the decode in diameter_gen.hrl but this didn't happen in case of an AVP that unknown to the dictionary in question.
2015-03-24Adapt to changed DiameterURI defaults in RFC 6733Anders Svensson
Despite claims of full backwards compatibility, the text of RFC 6733 changes the interpretation of unspecified values in a DiameterURI. In particular, 3588 says that the default port and transport are 3868 and sctp respectively, while 6733 says it's either 3868/tcp (aaa) or 5658/tcp (aaas). The 3588 defaults were used regardless, but now use them only if the common dictionary is diameter_gen_base_rfc3588. The 6733 defaults are used otherwise. This kind of change in the standard can lead to interop problems, since a node has to know which RFC its peer is following to know that it will properly interpret missing URI components. Encode of a URI includes all components to avoid such confusion. That said, note that the defaults in the diameter_uri record have *not* been changed. This avoids breaking code that depends on them, but the risk is that such code sends inappropriate values. The record defaults may be changed in a future release, to force values to be explicitly specified.

2015-03-24Add service_opt() string_decodeAnders Svensson
To control whether stringish Diameter types are decoded to string or left as binary. The motivation is the same as in the parent commit: to avoid large strings being copied when incoming Diameter messages are passed between processes; or *if* in the case of messages destined for handle_request and handle_answer callbacks, since these are decoded in the dedicated processes that the callbacks take place in. It would be possible to do something about other messages without requiring an option, but disabling the decode is the most effective. The value is a boolean(), true being the default for backwards compatibility. Setting false causes both diameter_caps records and decoded messages to contain binary() in relevant places that previously had string(): diameter_app(3) callbacks need to be prepared for the change. The Diameter types affected are OctetString and the derived types that can contain arbitrarily large values: OctetString, UTF8String, DiameterIdentity, DiameterURI, IPFilterRule, and QoSFilterRule. Time and Address are unaffected. The DiameterURI decode has been redone using re(3), which both simplifies and does away with a vulnerability resulting from the conversion of arbitrary strings to atom. The solution continues the use and abuse of the process dictionary for encode/decode purposes, last seen in commit 0f9cdba.
2015-03-23Fix ordering of AVPs in relayed messagesAnders Svensson
6.1.9 of RFC 6733 states this: A relay or proxy agent MUST append a Route-Record AVP to all requests forwarded. The AVP was inserted as the head of the AVP list, not appended, since the entire AVP list was reversed relative to the received order. Thanks to Andrzej Trawiński.

2015-03-04Allow encode of decoded diameter_avp listAnders Svensson
The decode of an incoming request in a non-relay application results in a deep list of diameter_avp records. Encoding such a list resulted in a function_clause error in diameter_codec:pack_avp/1, which expected a flat list. The list is only flat in the relay case, or in the absence of AVPs of type Grouped. This is also related to code that exists but isn't documented. It's documented that a diameter_app(3) handle_request callback can return {relay, Opts} to relay a request received in the relay application. What's not documented is that it can also return {proxy|resend, Opts} in a non-relay application, but this leads to encode failure when there are Grouped AVPs. This shouldn't be interpreted as meaning that proxy|resend are now supported: they aren't. The two extra terms are a historical relic that should probably be removed. Neither are generally usable since, for example, a proxy agent may want to modify a request before resending it. A specific handle_request return is not needed to implement a proxy agent. Even {relay, Opts} isn't strictly necessary.
2015-03-04Fix handling of length errors on Grouped AVPsAnders Svensson

Extracting the End-to-End and Hop-by-Hop identifiers resulted in a function clause error, causing the send to fail.
2014-09-08Fix best effort decode of Failed-AVPAnders Svensson
Commit c2c00fdd didn't get it quite right: it only decoded failed AVPs in the common dictionary since it's this dictionary an answer-message is decoded in. An extra dictionary isn't something that's easily passed through the decode without rewriting dictionary compilation however, and that's no small job, so continue with the use/abuse of the process dictionary by storing the dictionary module for the decode to retrieve. This is one step worse than previous uses since the dictionary is put in one module (diameter_codec) and got in another (the dictionary module), but it's the lesser of two evils.
2014-05-26Do best-effort decode of Failed-AVPAnders Svensson
Commit 4ce2d3a6 (diameter-1.4.2, OTP-11007) disabled the decode of values in Failed-AVP components since any error caused the decode of Failed-AVP itself to fail. This is less than useful since (1) we should be able to decode it given that we've sent it (modulo mangling on the way to the peer and back), and (2) it's not unheard of to examine Failed-AVP to see what the peer objected to. This commits adds a best-effort decode: decode if possible, otherwise not, using the same abuse of the process dictionary as commit bbdb027c.
2014-05-26Fix handling of AVP length errors (5014) in unknown AVPsAnders Svensson
Commit 4ce2d3a6 added the insertion of a single bit into binary AVP data to induce an encode error in the case of a header length that pointed past the available bytes: a 5014 = DIAMETER_INVALID_AVP_LENGTH error. Commit 838856b fixed this for stringish Diameter types, but both commits neglected the case in which the offending AVP isn't known to the dictionary in question. Unless the AVP was regarded as erroneous for other reasons (eg. an M-bit resulting in 5001) it would be happily be packed into an 'AVP' field. If it was regarded as an error, the record could be passed back to diameter_codec:pack_avp/1, and if the record contained header data then there was no clause to deal with the unpleasantry. Deal with it by having the dictionary module strip the extra bit and flag the AVP as 5014, and by having diameter_codec handle any extra bit coming from an dictionary compiled against an old diameter_gen. An old dictionary won't detect 5014 however, so dictionaries should be recompiled. Change most of the guards in diameter_codec from is_bitstring/1 to is_binary/1. What's being passed to the decode functions are binaries received other the network. The only case in which a non-binary bitstring is when we've placed an extra bit there ourselves. (Modulo someone doing something they shouldn't.)
