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.

To bound the length of incoming messages that will be decoded. A message
longer than the specified number of bytes is discarded. An
incoming_maxlen_exceeded counter is incremented to make note of the
occurrence.
The motivation is to prevent a sufficiently malicious peer from
generating significant load by sending long messages with many AVPs for
diameter to decode. The 24-bit message length header accomodates
(16#FFFFFF - 20) div 12 = 1398099
Unsigned32 AVPs for example, which the current record-valued decode is
too slow with in practice. A bound of 16#FFFF bytes allows for 5461
small AVPs, which is probably more than enough for the majority of
applications, but the default is the full 16#FFFFFF.

It was possible to configure the option, but doing so caused the service
to fail when starting a watchdog process:
{function_clause,
[{diameter_service,'-spawn_opts/1-lc$^0/1-0-',
[false],
[{file,"base/diameter_service.erl"},{line,846}]},
{diameter_service,start,5,
[{file,"base/diameter_service.erl"},{line,820}]},
{diameter_service,start,3,
[{file,"base/diameter_service.erl"},{line,782}]},
{diameter_service,handle_call,3,
[{file,"base/diameter_service.erl"},{line,385}]},
{gen_server,try_handle_call,4,[{file,"gen_server.erl"},{line,607}]},
{gen_server,handle_msg,5,[{file,"gen_server.erl"},{line,639}]},
{proc_lib,init_p_do_apply,3,[{file,"proc_lib.erl"},{line,237}]}]}
Tests for the option in the config suite were also missing.
Bungled in commit 78b3dc6.

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.

To cause a peer connection to be closed following an outgoing DPA, in
case the peer fails to do so. It is the recipient of DPA that should
close the connection according to RFC 6733.

* anders/diameter/dpr/OTP-12542:
Discard CER or DWR sent with diameter:call/4
Allow DPR to be sent with diameter:call/4
Add transport_opt() dpa_timeout
Add testcase for sending DPR with diameter:call/4
|
|
To make the default DPA timeout configurable. The timeout say how many
milliseconds to wait for DPA in response to an outgoing DPR before
terminating the transport process regardless.
|
|
In particular, deal with the deprecation of erlang:now/0 in OTP 18. Be
backwards compatible with older releases: the new api is only used when
available.
The test suites have not been modified.

Transport processes are started by diameter one at a time. In the
listening case, a transport process accepts a connection, tells the
peer_fsm process, which tells its watchdog process, which tells its
service process, which then starts a new watchdog, which starts a new
peer_fsm, which starts a new transport process, which (finally) goes
about accepting another connection. In other words, not particularly
aggressive in accepting new connections. This behaviour doesn't do
particularly well with a large number of concurrent connections: with
TCP and 250 connecting peers we see connections being refused.
This commit adds the possibilty of configuring a pool of accepting
processes, by way of a new transport option, pool_size. Instead of
diameter:add_transport/2 starting just a single process, it now starts
the configured number, so that instead of a single process waiting for a
connection there's now a pool.
The option is even available for connecting processes, which provides an
alternate to adding multiple transports when multiple connections to the
same peer are required. In practice this also means configuring
{restrict_connections, false}: this is not implicit.
For backwards compatibility, the form of
diameter:service_info(_,transport) differs in the connecting case,
depending on whether or not pool_size is configured.
Note that transport processes for the same transport_ref() can be
started concurrently when pool_size > 1. This places additional
requirements on diameter_{tcp,sctp}, that will be dealt with in a
subsequent commit.
|
|
In the same vein as commit 00584303, to avoid logging traffic-related
happenings.
Not that the value in diameter.hrl is just documentation: the value is
set explicitly when diameter:start_service/2 creates diameter_app
records.

The former was misleading since the timer only applies to initial
connection attempts, reconnection attempts being governed by
watchdog_timer. The name is a historic remnant from a (dark, pre-OTP)
time in which RFC 3539 was followed less slavishly than it is now, and
the timer actually did apply to reconnection attempts.
Note that connect_timer corresponds to RFC 6733 Tc, while watchdog_timer
corresponds to RFC 3539 TwInit. The latter RFC makes clear that TwInit
should apply to reconnection attempts. It's less clear if only RFC 6733
is read.
Note also that reconnect_timer is still accepted for backwards
compatibility. It would be possible to add an option to make
reconnect_timer behave strictly as the name suggests (ie. ignore RFC 3539
and interpret RFC 6733 at face value; something that has some value for
testing at least) but no such option is implemented in this commit.

The option was morphed into a boolean() and then ignored.
|
|
That is, for the process that's spawned for each incoming Diameter
request message.
|
|
{error, Reason} is now returned, instead of the options being ignored.
Note that diameter:add_transport/2 purposely ignores unknown options and
that the behaviour is documented. This is historic: some users depend on
it in order to store their own options for identifying transport config,
instead of using the reference returned by add_transport.
|
|
The validation of {sequence, {H,N}} incorrectly checked that H was an
N-bit integer, instead of the intended 32-N.
|
|
Faulty configuration was previously passed directly on to watchdog and
peer_fsm processes, diameter:add_transport/2 happily returning ok and
the error resulting on failure of watchdog and/or peer_fsm processes.
Now check for errors before getting this far, returning {error, Reason}
from diameter:add_transport/2 when one is detected. There are still
some errors that can only be detected after transport start (eg. a
misbehaving callback) but most will be caught early.
|
|
Allow both share_peers and use_shared_peers to be a list of nodes, or a
function that returns a list of nodes.
|
|
This is the functionality that allows transports to be shared between
identically-named services on different nodes, which has been neither
documented nor tested (until now).
|
|
RFC 3588 allowed only 3xxx result codes in an answer-message (that is,
an answer that sets the E-bit) while RFC 6733 also allows 5xxx result
codes. Setting request_errors = answer tells diameter to answer 5xxx
errors itself. Returning {answer_message, integer()} from a
handle_request callback allows both 3xxx and 5xxx result codes to be
set. {protocol_error, integer()} is retained for 3xxx result codes.
|
|
Configuring the value 'callback' all errors detected in incoming
requests to result in a handle_request callback. The default value
'answer_3xxx' is the previous behaviour in which diameter answers
protocol errors without a callback.
|
|
|
|
Instead, use whatever dictionary a transport has configured as
supporting application id 0. This is to support the updated RFC 6733
dictionaries (which bring with them updated records) and also to be able
to transparently support any changed semantics (eg. 5xxx in
answer-message).
|
|
|
|
Code should be loaded in this order:
diameter_session (sequence/1)
diameter_peer_fsm (calls to sequence/1)
diameter_service (sequence config, mask in receive_message/3)
diameter_watchdog (mask in peer start and receive_message/3)
diameter_config (accept sequence config)
Order of diameter and diameter_peer doesn't matter.
|

{invalid, K, V} was never matched. Return full reason, not just an
atom.

* anders/diameter/callback_isolation/OTP-10215:
Don't let peer_up/peer_down take down the service process
Turn last field of #diameter_app{} into an options list
|
|
To make for easier adding of future options. The record is only passed
into transport modules so the only compatibility issue is with these.
(No issue for diameter_{tcp,sctp} and unlikely but theoretically
possible for any other implementations, which probably don't exist at
this point.)
|
|
Statistics are deleted as a consequence of diameter:remove_transport/2.
|
|
The module was originally just intended as a minimal callback
implementation that could be used as a template. Being able to order
just a subset of callbacks (with reasonable defaults) makes for
simpler code in many cases however so ready support for this can be
useful.
|
|
Simpler, no duplication of similar makefiles and makes for
better dependencies. (Aka, recursive make considered harmful.)
