2016-03-18Let throttling callback send a throttle messageAnders Svensson
That is, don't assume that it's only diameter_tcp doing so: allow it to be received when not throttling. This lets a callback module trigger a new throttling callback itself, but it's not clear if this will be useful in practice.
2016-03-14Acknowledge answers to notification pids when throttlingAnders Svensson
By sending {diameter, {answer, pid()}} when an incoming answer is sent to the specified pid, instead of a discard message as previously. The latter now literally means that the message has been discarded.
2016-03-13Throttle properly with TLSAnders Svensson
In particular, let a callback decide when to receive the initial message.
2016-03-13Don't ask throttling callback to receive more unless neededAnders Svensson
TCP packets can contain more than one message, so only ask to receive another message if it hasn't already been received.
2016-03-13Let a throttling callback answer a received messageAnders Svensson
As discussed in the parent commit. This is easier said than done in practice, but there's no harm in allowing it.
2016-03-13Let a throttling callback discard a received messageAnders Svensson
This can be used as a simple form of overload protection, discarding the message before it's passed into diameter to become one more request process in a flood. Replying with 3004 would be more appropriate when the request has been directed at a specific server (the RFC's requirement) however, and possibly it should be possible for a callback to do this as well.
2016-03-13Let throttling callback return a notification pidAnders Svensson
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.
2016-03-13Make throttling callbacks on message receptionAnders Svensson
The callback is now applied to the atom 'false' when asking if another message should be received on the socket, and to a received binary message after reception. Throttling on received messages makes it possible to distinguish between requests and answers. There is no callback on outgoing messages since these don't have to go through the transport process, even if they currently do.
2016-03-13Add diameter_tcp option throttle_cbAnders Svensson
To let a callback module decide whether or to receive another message from the peer, so that backpressure can be applied when it's inappropriate. This is to let a callback protect against reading more than can be processed, which is otherwise possible since diameter_tcp otherwise always asks for more. A callback is made after each message, and can answer to continue reading or to ask again after a timeout. It's each message instead of each packet partly for simplicity, but also since this should be sufficiently fine-grained. Per packet would require some interaction with the fragment timer that flushes partial messages that haven't been completely received.

OTP-13342 remote watchdog transition to state SUSPECT
2016-02-19Fix handling of shared peer connections in watchdog state SUSPECTAnders Svensson
A peer connection shared from a remote node was regarded as being available for peer selection (aka up) as long as its peer_fsm process was alive; that is, for the lifetime of the peer connection. In particular, it didn't take note of transitions into watchdog state SUSPECT, when the connection remains. As a result, retransmissions could select the same peer connection whose watchdog transition caused the retransmission. A service process now broadcasts a peer_down event just as it does a peer_up event. The fault predates the table rearrangements of commit 8fd4e5f4.

2015-12-21Make peer handling more efficientAnders Svensson
Each service process maintains a dictionary of peers, mapping an application alias to a {pid(), #diameter_caps{}} list of connected peers. These lists are potentially large, peers were appended to the end of the list for no particular reason, and these long lists were constructed/deconstructed when filtering them for pick_peer callbacks. Many simultaneous outgoing request could then slow the VM to a crawl, with many scheduled processes mired in list manipulation. The pseudo-dicts are now replaced by plain ets tables. The reason for them was (once upon a time) to have an interface interchangeable with a plain dict for debugging purposes, but strict swapablity hasn't been the case for some time now, and in practice a swap has never taken place. Additional tables mapping Origin-Host/Realm have also been introduced, to minimize the size of the peers lists when peers are filtered on host/realm. For example, a filter like {any, [{all, [realm, host]}, realm]} is probably a very common case: preferring a Destination-Realm/Host match before falling back on Destination-Realm alone. This is now more efficiently (but not equivalently) expressed as {first, [{all, [realm, host]}, realm]} to stop the search when the best match is made, and extracts peers from host/realm tables instead of searching through the list of all peers supporting the application in question. The code to try and start with a lookup isn't exhaustive, and the 'any' filter is still as inefficient as previously.

By not failing in code that looks up state: pick_peer and service_info.
2015-12-09Fix request table leak at retransmissionAnders Svensson
In the case of retranmission, a prepare_retransmit callback could modify End-to-End and/or Hop-by-Hop identifiers so that the resulting diameter_request entry was not removed, since the removal was of entries with the identifiers of the original request. The chances someone doing this in practice are probably minimal.
2015-12-09Fix request table leak at exit signalAnders Svensson
The storing of request records in the ets table diameter_request was wrapped in a try/after so that the latter would unconditionally remove written entries. The problem is that it didn't deal with the process exiting as a result of an exit signal, since this doesn't raise in an exception. Since the process in question applies callbacks to user code, we can potentially be linked to other process and exit as a result. Trapping exits changes the current behaviour of the process, so spawn a monitoring process that cleans up upon reception of 'DOWN'.
2015-09-07Fix watchdog function_clauseAnders Svensson
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}.
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.

2015-08-05Fix start order of alternate transportsAnders Svensson
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.
