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.

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.
|
|
The decode of a Grouped AVP ignored the case that extracting component
AVPs with diameter_codec:collect_avps/1 returned a tuple, in the case of
a truncated AVP header.
|
|
Outgoing answers missing a Result-Code AVP or setting an E-bit
inappropriately were discarded, but there's no particular reason for
doing so if the answer can be encoded, and the sender has no way of
knowing that their answer has been discarded. It's also inappropriate
that the message be discarded in the relay case. Answers are now sent,
and an error counter incremented.
|
|
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.
|
|
Extracting the End-to-End and Hop-by-Hop identifiers resulted in a
function clause error, causing the send to fail.
|
|
Shutting down the service causes DPR to be sent on all open transports
under the service. These in turn have a timeout for the reception of
DPA, but the timeout is bounded by the supervisor's in practice. Both
timeouts were 1 second. Increase the supervisor timeout to 5 seconds.
Note that the service supervisor is furthest to the right in the
supervision tree in diameter_sup. Thus is significant, so that the
transport-related processes aren't shutdown first.
|
|
As suggested in supervisor(3). The leaves of the supervision tree should
determine the timeouts.
|
|
There's no need for building a pid list only to map it to a list of
monitor references. Also, monitoring before banging the shutdown
message makes for better trace, avoiding unnecessary noproc reasons when
the process dies before the monitor is created.

The order of peers presented to a diameter_app(3) pick_peer callback has
previously not been documented, but there are use cases that are
simplified by an ordering. For example, consider preferring a direct
connection to a specified Destination-Host/Realm to any host in the
realm. The implementation previously treated this as a special case by
placing matching hosts at the head of the peers list, but the
documentation made no guarantees. Now present peers in match-order, so
that the desired sorting is the result of the following filter.
{any, [{all, [host, realm]}, realm]}
The implementation is not backwards compatible in the sense that a realm
filter alone is no longer equivalent in this case. However, as stated,
the documentation never made any guarantees regarding the sorting.

From {error, Reason} to {no_connection, Reason} when a connection can't
be established. The exit reason of a diameter_peer_fsm process is turned
into a message from the corresponding diameter_watchdog process to the
relevant diameter_service process, the latter sending a 'closed' event
including the reason to any subscribers. Reason = [] when none of the
configured transport modules succeeds in establishing a connection,
which admittedly isn't terribly descriptive. (The lists is of error
reasons from transport start functions, which is empty as long as
transport processes start successfully.)
Note that this form of the closed event is undocumented, aside from the
documentation saying that one should expect undocumented events. The
explicitly documented forms are currently specific to CER/CEA failures.
|
|
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.

Commit 00584303 broke the population of the errors field of the
diameter_packet record when an incoming request with an
E-bit/Result-Code mismatch was decoded. Instead of the intended
{5004, #diameter_avp{value = integer()}},
the value was a 4-tuple containing the integer Result-Code.
|
|
An outgoing request whose pick_peer callback selected a transport on
another node resulted in an orphaned diameter_request entry on that
node.

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.
|
|
An answer message that sets the E-bit is encoded/decoded with Diameter
common dictionary, using the answer-message grammar specified in the
RFC. However, the dictionary of the application in question is the one
that knows the command code of the message. Commit df19c272 didn't make
this distinction when incrementing counters for an answer-message, using
the common dictionary for both purposes, causing the message to be
counted as unknown. This commit remedies that.
|
|
That is, instead of including the list in a diameter:service_info/2 info
tuple, only include the number of references and the number of bytes
referenced. The list itself can be quite large and typically isn't that
interesting, at least not to a diameter user.
|
|
Instead of grouping them with 'unknown'. These messages were keyed on
{ApplicationId, CommandCode, Rbit} prior to commit df19c272, but
distinguishing between the relay application and others is probably more
useful.
The only reason for not including the R-bit in the unknown key is that
the key is also used elsewhere, and relay is an expected case while
unknown isn't.
|
|
As mentioned in the parent commit. The {Id, send, retransmission}
key is of the same form as the {Id, send|recv, error} key used for
encode/decode errors.
|
|
Commit df19c272 broke this in avoiding counting on arbitrary keys.
It didn't break it sufficiently for the only counters usage in the test
suites to fail however: watchdog counters worked as intended, but no
others, not even CER and DPR. More testcases are needed.
This commit does change/fix the previous semantics somewhat:
- Retransmissions are no longer counted. This previously made it
impossible to distinguish between these and unanswered requests, since
both counted as an outgoing request. There should probably be a
retransmission counter but it should be distinct from the sent request
counter.
- The counting is always on the node from which diameter:call/4 is
invoked, not the node on which the transport resides, as was previously
the case. (Although they're typically one and the same.)
Note that none of these semantics are documented as yet, so we're not
changing a documented interface.

To extract only process info from connections info, which can be useful
to reduce the amount of information returned.
Choose 'info' for the item since process_info is more than one word: all
others are one. Don't choose memory since it's too specific: might want
to use it for more.

To show process_info of interest. This is not yet documented since it

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.
|
|
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.)
|
|
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.
