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}.
|

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.

There's no need for it to be ordered, and the ordering has been seen to
have an unexpectedly negative impact on performance in some cases. Order
when retrieving statistics instead, so as not to change the
presentation in diameter:service_info/2.
|
|
The ordering of (ets) diameter_stats (also unnecessary) ensures the
sorting.

This has been seen to be a bottleneck at high load: each undef results
in a loop out to the code server.

A transport configured with diameter:add_transport/2 can be passed
multiple transport_module/transport_config tuples in order to specify
alternate configuration, modules being attempted in order until one
succeeds. This is primarily for the connecting case, to allow a
transport to be configured to first attempt connection over SCTP, and
then TCP in case SCTP fails, with configuration like that documented:
{transport_module, diameter_sctp},
{transport_config, [...], 5000},
{transport_module, diameter_tcp},
{transport_config, [...]}
If the options are the same in both cases, another possibility would be
configuration like this, which attaches the same transport_config to
both modules:
{transport_module, diameter_sctp},
{transport_module, diameter_tcp},
{transport_config, [...], 5000},
However, in this case the start order was reversed relative to the
documented order: first tcp, then sctp. This commit restores the
intended order.

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.

Both diameter_tcp and diameter_sctp can be configured with one or more
IP addresses from which connections should be accepted (an 'accept'
tuple), specified either as a tuple-valued address or as a regular
expression. In the latter case, peer addresses are mapped to string
using inet:ntoa/1 and the result matched against the regexp. Since
(ipv6) addresses are case insensitive, this should also be the case with
the match, but was not.
|
|
Commits b563c796 (R16B) and 0fad6449 (R16B02) added parse_address/1 and
ntoa/1 to module inet, providing documented alternatives to address/1
and ntoa/1 in the undocumented (save comments in inet(3)) inet_parse.

This has had a hugely negative impact on performance when decoding
messages containing many AVP: each decode of an AVP having variable
arity computed the length of the list of previously decoded AVPs when
checking that the allowed arity was not exceeded, even if the allowed
arity was infinite, making for O(n^2) cost. Here are some execution
times, for diameter_codec:decode/2 on a representative message with n
integer AVPs in the Common application (on the host at hand):
Before After
------- ---------
n = 1K 5 ms 2 ms
n = 10K 500 ms 25 ms
n = 100K 75 sec 225 ms
n = 1M 2.6 sec
Note the nearly linear increase following the change.
Remove the dire documentation warning for incoming_maxlen as a
consequence. It can still be useful to set, but not doing so won't have
the same consequences as previously.
|
|
Since the list can potentially be long.
|
|
The decode of an incoming Diameter message uses the record
representation to determine whether or not an AVP has been received with
the expected arity, the number of AVPs in each field following decode
being compared with the arity specified in the message grammar. The
problem with this is that decode failure isn't reflected in the record
representation, so that an AVP can be appended to the errors field of a
diameter_packet record despite an entry for the same AVP already
existing. This isn't a fault as much as a misleading error indication,
but now only append AVPs that aren't already represented.

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:

Without a timeout, TCP/SCTP connect can take some time to fail, which
resulted in failures in the pool suite after the parent commit fixed the
previously faulty sctp-first-then-tcp connect.

To diameter_lib:log/4, which was last motivated in commit 39acfdb0.
|
|
A listener process in diameter_sctp starts accepting transport processes
as required, either as associations are established or as diameter asks
for a processes to be started. Since this can happen in any order, the
listener maintains two queues: one for processes that diameter has
requested and which are waiting to be given an association, another for
processes that have been started to become owners of an association but
are waiting for diameter to request them. Only one queue at a time is
non-empty. The first queue's length is bounded by the number of
accepting processes configured as pool_size. Entries in the second queue
are short-lived since diameter starts a replacement transport process
whenever an existing one dies or communicates that it has an
association.
The two queues were previously implemented in an ets ordered_set, whose
keys were the pid() of transport processes. Removing an element from the
queue was then done with ets:first/1. The problem with this it's not
really a queue: there's no guarantee that pid-ordering is the same as
the order in which processes are started. If it isn't then it's possible
that an established association never be given to diameter as a
transport process if there's always a newer association whose pid sorts
first. This isn't a problem in practice since it would require new
associations to be established faster than diameter starts transport
processes, but redo the implementation as a queue, with strict FIFO
semantics.

The changes in some of the previous commits assume application restart.

|
At the current count, there are 128 groups run in parallel, each of
which runs 52 testcases in parallel. That makes for 128*52 = 6656
testcases, which is probably also a factor in the sporadic failures
addressed by the parent commit. Don't run the 128 groups in parallel.
|
|
The defaults result in sporadic timeouts in the traffic suite after
testing over SCTP was added in commit fadf753b. The behaviour looks to
be specific to SLES 11, and is presumably the same resends/congestion
that lead to the buffers being increased in the gen_sctp suite in commit
12febf13 (and commented in commit e931991f). The behaviour hasn't been
seen on SLES 10.
|
|
|
|
Don't pass an association id that's no longer used.
|
|
In particular, don't give the accepting transport process the listening
socket. It was used to match the initial sctp message received in a
peeloff message, but replace the socket in the forwarded message
instead.
