{record_decode, map} is a bit too quirky.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.

What's interesting when implementing some form of load regulation is
when an incoming request has been answered or discarded. Acknowledge
exactly this, not the identity of handler processes as previously. A
transport process can request acks of nonforthcoming answers by sending
{diameter, ack} to the parent peer_fsm, a handler processes identifies
itself with a {handler, pid()} message, and the peer_fsm monitors on
this to be able to send a notification to the transport if the handler
dies before sending an answer.
|
|
A transport process can request acknowledgement of the fate of an
incoming message to a specified pid, causing it to receive one of
{diameter, {request|answer, pid()} | discard}
depending on whether or not diameter passes the message off to a handler
process. This was broken in commit a4da06a5 (since recv/3 threw a
message that should be received), but is of little consequence since the
interface isn't yet documented and is only used from diameter_tcp with
configuration that will soon change.
|
|
The table has existed forever, to route incoming answers to a waiting
request process: each outgoing request writes to the table, and each
incoming answer reads. This has been seen to suffer from lock contention
at high load however, so this commit moves the routing into the
diameter_peer_fsm processes that are diameter's conduit to transport
processes. The request table is still used for failover detection, but
entries are only written when a watchdog state transitions leaves or
enters state OKAY.

The latter is deprecated in OTP 19.

|
In addition to returning ok or {timeout, Tmo}, let a throttling callback
for message reception return a pid(), which is then notified if the
message in question is either discarded or results in a request process.
Notification is by way of messages of the form
{diameter, discard | {request, pid()}}
where the pid is that of a request process resulting from the received
message. This allows the notification process to keep track of the
maximum number of request processes a peer connection can have given
rise to.

Commit 4f365c07 introduced the error on set_watchdog/2, as a consequence
of timeout/1 returning stop, which only happens with accepting
transports with {restrict_connections, false}.

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.

This has been seen to be a bottleneck at high load: each undef results
in a loop out to the code server.
Originally implemented as suggested in the erts user's guide, in commits

In particular, restart the timer with each incoming Diameter message,
only when the previous timer has expired. Doing so has been seen to
result in high lock contention at load, as in the example below:
(diameter@test)9> lcnt:conflicts([{print, [name, tries, ratio, time]}]).
lock #tries collisions [%] time [us]

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.

Let examples override default service options

Strip potentially large terms when sending outgoing Diameter messages

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.
|

Both incoming and outgoing Diameter messages pass through two or three
processes, depending on whether they're incoming or outgoing: the
transport process and corresponding peer_fsm process and (for incoming)
watchdog processes. Since terms other than binary are copied when
passing process boundaries, large terms lead to copying that can be
problematic, if frequent enough. Since only the bin and transport_data
fields of a diameter_packet record are needed by the transport process,
discard others when sending outgoing messages.
Strictly speaking, the statement that only the aforementioned fields are
needed by the transport process depends on the transport process. It's
true of those implemented by diameter (in diameter_tcp and
diameter_sctp), but an implementation that makes use of other fields is
assuming more than the documentation in diameter_transport(3) promises.

* 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
|
|
DPR is sent by diameter at application shutdown, service stop, or
transport removal. It has been possible to send the request with
diameter:call/4, but the answer was discarded, instead of the transport
process being terminated. This commit causes DPR to be handled in the
same way regardless of whether it's sent by diameter or by
diameter:call/4.
Note that the behaviour subsequent to DPA is unchanged. In particular,
in the connecting case, the closed connection will be reestablished
after a connect_timer expiry unless the transport is removed. The more
probable use case is the listening case, to disconnect a single peer
associated with a listening transport.
|
|
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.
|

There are two timers governing the establishment of peer connections:
connect_timer and watchdog_timer. The former is the RFC 6733 Tc timer
and is used by diameter_service to establish an initial connection. The
latter is RFC 3539 TwInit and is used by diameter_watchdog for
connection reestablishment after the watchdog leaves state INITIAL. A
connecting transport ignored the connect timer since the watchdog
process never died, regardless of the watchdog state, causing the
watchdog timer to handle reconnection.
This seems to have been broken for some time.

Don't count messages on arbitrary keys
Replace traffic-related log reports with no-op function calls
|
|
That is, don't use a key constructed from an incoming Diameter header
unless the message is known to the dictionary in question. Otherwise
there are 2^32 application ids, 2^24 command codes, and 2 R-bits for an
ill-willed peer to choose from, each resulting in new keys in the
counter table (diameter_stats).
The usual {ApplicationId, CommandCode, Rbit} in a key is replaced by the
atom 'unknown' if the message in question is unknown to the decoding
dictionary.
Counters for messages sent and received by a relay are (still) not
implemented.
|
|
The former were a little over-enthusiastic and could cause a node to be
logged to death if a peer Diameter node was sufficiently ill-willed.
The function calls are to diameter_lib:log/4, the arguments of which
identify the happening in question, and which does nothing but provide a
function to trace on. Many existing log calls have been shrunk.
The only remaining traffic-related report (hopefully) is that resulting
from {answer_errors, report} config, and this has been slimmed.

|
|
A DPR/DPA exchange should always cause the watchdog process in question
to die with the transport, so that a subsequent connection with the same
peer doesn't result in a 3 x DWR/DWA exchange. Commit 5903d6db saw to
this for the sending of DPR but neglected the corresponding problem for
DPA.
In the case of sending DPR (the aforementioned commit), note that
there's no distinction between receiving DPA as expected and not: the
watchdog dies with the transport regardless.
diameter_watchdog must be loaded first at upgrade.
|
|
Only decode errors were counted previously. Keys are of the form
{Id, send, error}, where Id is:
{ApplicationId, CommandCode, Rbit} | unknown
The latter will be the case if not even a #diameter_header{} can be
constructed.
|
|
Errors were only counted in incoming answers. Counters are keyed on
tuples of the same form:
{{ApplicationId, CommandCode, Rbit}, recv, error}
|
|
Corresponding counters for other answer messages have been counted
previously, but those for CEA, DWA, and DPA have been missing since
diameter itself sends these messages and the implementation is as bit
more separate than it might be. The counters are keyed on values of the
following form.
{{ApplicationId, CommandCode, 0 = Rbit}, send|recv, {'Result-Code', RC}}
|
|
There's no need to send the message immediately if there's no transport
configuration since that in itself means the service process will tell
the watchdogs to die.
|
|
Commit ef5fddcb (diameter-1.4.1, R16B) caused the leak in the case of an
accepting watchdog with restrict_connections = false. It (correctly)
ensured the state remained at INITIAL but a subsequent 'close' message
to terminate the process was ignored since the state was not DOWN. In
fact, no 'close' was sent since there was no state transition or
previous connection: the former triggers the message from
diameter_service, the latter from diameter_watchdog. The message is now
sent to self() from the watchdog itself.
Send 'close' in the same way when multiple connections to the same peer
are allowed, to avoid waiting for a watchdog timer expiry for the
process to terminate in this case.

No longer needed to update code in runtime since the emulator is
restarted at a major release.
|
|
* anders/diameter/timer_confusion/OTP-11168:
Rename reconnect_timer -> connect_timer
|
|
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.

Commit e762d7d1 broke outgoing DWA by setting new Hop-by-Hop and
End-to-End identifiers instead of those of the incoming DWR.
|
|
Having the peer_fsm process answer DWR meant that watchdog timer expiry
could result in an outgoing DWR despite the fact that an incoming DWR
was just answered. Having the watchdog process answer avoids this.
diameter_peer_fsm must be loaded before diameter_watchdog. It's
possible for one incoming DWR to go unanswered but a subsequent DWR will
be answered so no harm is done.
|
|
Commit 0b7c87dc caused diameter_watchdog:restart/2 to start returning
'stop', so that a watchdog process for a listening transport that
allowed multiple connections to the same peer would die one watchdog
timeout after losing a connection. The new return value was supposed to
be passed up to transition/2, but was instead passed to set_watchdog/1,
resulting in a function_clause error. The resulting crash was harmless
but unseemly.
Not detected by dialyzer.
