[PATCH gwproxy v4 0/6] Initial work for DNS lookup implementation

[PATCH gwproxy v4 0/6] Initial work for DNS lookup implementation

[Ahmad Gani]

Hi Chief,

This is revision v4 of initial work of dns lookup feature, The patches 
aren't final, but it's enough to get a grasp of what the interface looks 
like. I've provided a temporary entry point main function to test it and
uses epoll to make it asynchronous.

There are 6 patches in this series:
- create net.h and net.c for network related functionality and struct
- add default_port parameter to convert_str_to_ssaddr function
- allow only port string number in service parameter of gwp_dns_queue
- initial work for implementation of C-ares-like getaddrinfo function
- make gw_ares_getaddrinfo function asynchronous
- transaction id creation is delegated to caller

# Remove TODO(reyuki): hints->ai_family is used to filter results
The filtering has already been completed using a bitmask. As for sorting 
the results, that responsibility is delegated to the caller, allowing 
them to choose their preferred sorting method.

# Make UDP socket non-blocking
As discussed previously [1], I made the UDP socket non-blocking for 
asynchronous operation and provide a function helper for caller to handle
socket-related operation.

# Move socket creation to library initialization
Since we use the UDP protocol, socket creation is moved to library 
initialization, so it is just created once and reused as many times as
possible.

# Make UDP socket unconnected
Avoid connect syscall on UDP socket to allow communicating with multiple 
recursive resolvers or name servers with sendto and recvfrom syscalls.

# Restructure internal struct and program execution flow
Unlike C-ares, this design requires the getaddrinfo callback to be specified
during initialization, since it typically points to the same handler and 
rarely changes between calls.

To support non-blocking behavior, the program needs to track the state of
each request, so I need to make changes to the structure and program 
execution flow.

Each gw_ares_getaddrinfo call creates a new request on the internal side 
of dnslookup; you can see the gw_ares_request struct for what's stored.

## The changes are made based on the following principles:
1. The DNS-specific details are intentionally hidden from the program
The DNS-specific tasks and operations are intentionally hidden from the 
program using the library. The program doesn't need to know anything about
the DNS protocol.

2. How the library and the program interact
The library MUST tell the program if there's an error inside the 
gw_ares_getaddrinfo call, or if the getaddrinfo operation has completed. 
This is achieved by calling the getaddrinfo_cb function.

The library MUST tell the program if a socket file descriptor is created or
a particular event is adjusted. This is achieved by calling the
sockstate_cb function.

The program is responsible for handling this appropriately using the 
callback it has specified.

Although no event is currently adjusted, it may be implemented in a future
patch series.

The program MUST tell the library if a particular socket file descriptor 
is ready to be used for a certain operation, like recv or send. This is 
achieved by calling the gw_ares_process_event function.

Although currently only recv is executed, other operations may be added 
in a future patch series.

## And here's how the library is supposed to work after these changes:
Initialize the library will create a UDP socket that can be used 
internally by the library to communicate with the DNS server.

There are two callbacks, and to avoid the confusion of what callback 
I'm talking about, let's name them getaddrinfo_cb and sockstate_cb.

You must prepare both and pass it to gw_ares_init through gw_ares_options,
the sockstate_cb will receive a socket file descriptor from the callback 
and it will be used in your event notification setup (poll, epoll, etc...).

You can specify ai_family member in the hints structure to filter the 
addrinfo in the results, use AF_UNSPEC to select both IPv4 and IPv6.

When you call gw_ares_getaddrinfo, it will attempt to send DNS packet to 
DNS server you have specified in gw_ares_options. It will not block your 
program, however you are supposed to call gw_ares_process_event later in 
your own event loop.

The function gw_ares_process_event is an abstraction provided by the 
library to handle socket-related tasks and give you the results by 
calling the callback you've specified in the gw_ares_options struct.

# Update unit test of dns parser
Because I wanted to test how the DNS server behaves when handling multiple
requests, I updated the old unit test. As expected, it's possible to send
multiple requests—as long as you don't batch them (i.e., QDCOUNT > 1) [2].

As Sir Ammar pointed out, the UDP protocol is stateless. That means you 
can use a single UDP socket to send packets to and receive packets from 
multiple destinations. So there's no need to wait for a response (recv) 
before sending the next request—you can send several first, then receive 
them later.

# Transaction id creation is delegated to caller
Because UDP protocol is unreliable, there's no guarantee in the order of 
packet arrival.

A single request can have two transaction IDs if the address family hint
is AF_UNSPEC. To simplify this, the program now uses the same txid for both
IPv4 and IPv6. This avoids the need to store two txids in an array, which
can cause issues when responses arrive out of order.

# Fix logic bug in serialize_answ that can lead to memory error: invalid read
I accidentally found a logic bug in the DNS parser while updating the 
unit test code. It was first detected by Valgrind, but the error report 
did not directly address the real issue:
==764369== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
==764369==    at 0x49B8C9A: inet_ntop6 (inet_ntop.c:126)
==764369==    by 0x49B8C9A: inet_ntop (inet_ntop.c:59)
==764369==    by 0x4002473: convert_ssaddr_to_str (net.c:91)
==764369==    by 0x4001FFA: test_parse_ipv6 (dnsparser.c:320)
==764369==    by 0x400206B: run_all_tests (dnsparser.c:341)
==764369==    by 0x4002097: main (dnsparser.c:347)

I wonder why Valgrind said that even though I already memset gs? So I 
tried with ASAN, and it detected a stack-buffer-overflow. It is triggered
by a malformed DNS response packet; probably I was copy-pasting the raw 
hex that was incomplete, and it led to this finding.

The solution is simple: check how many bytes remain before reading—never 
read if there are none left, along with other changes made to fix the problem.

# Changelog

- don't fill a dangling pointer as Sir Alviro said [3]
- for now it's blocking, attempt_retry label is not needed

v2 -> v3:
- remove TODO(reyuki): hints->ai_family is used to filter results
- make gw_ares_getaddrinfo asynchronous by change UDP socket to non-blocking
- move socket creation to library initialization

[PATCH gwproxy v4 1/6] dnslookup: Split common functionality and struct into net.h and net.c

[Ahmad Gani]

List of extracted stuff:
- convert_str_to_ssaddr function to net.c.
- convert_ssaddr_to_str function to net.c.
- struct gwp_sockaddr to net.h
- FULL_ADDRSTRLEN constant to net.h

It's better to split these common function that used in more
than one place.

[PATCH gwproxy v4 4/6] dnslookup: Initial work for implementation of C-ares-like getaddrinfo function

[Ahmad Gani]

Introducing glibc's getaddrinfo replacement, the DNS protocol
implementation is limited to standard query (OPCODE_QUERY) as for now,
but may extended later as necessary.

Again, I don't see any point in filling `*channel` with a dangling
pointer on error.

This part "*channel = c", can't you do that only when successful?

Please address the previous review properly. Don't ignore comments.

Also, the for loop needs a coding style fix. Don't declare the
variable inside the for loop argument. Please stop repeating the same
mistake again and again.

DO NOT DO THIS:

        for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
                something;
                something;
        }

DO THIS:

        int i;
        for (i = 0; i < N; i++) {
                something;
                something;
        }

You should also incorporate other rules like placing variable
declarations on the top (beginning of the scope). For example, I am
still seeing this mistake:

DO NOT DO THIS:

void func(void)
{
        func2();
        func3();
        int i;
        for (i = 0; i < N; i++) {
                func4();
                func5();
        }
}

DO THIS:

void func(void)
{
        int i;
        func2();
        func3();
        for (i = 0; i < N; i++) {
                func4();
                func5();
        }
}

How damn hard is it to understand?

Hmm, I already removed the declaration inside the for loop statements, but
it seems the patches weren't synchronized with my local file. I apologize
for overlooking this, I will try to recheck each patch to avoid the

Eh, sorry—I overlooked that. I didn't recheck it because I assumed it was
acceptable, since there were no comments on patchset v2 where the change
was first made. By "avoiding a dangling pointer", I thought the request
meant not to assign to the channel if memory allocation for c failed.

Anyway, don't worry, I will update it in the next patchset.

Thinking about this further, I think this design is wrong. The DNS
library is expected to only handle bytes processing, leaving the
networking stack to the caller.

Think, how is it going to be integrated with io_uring?

We should let the caller perform the recv and send. This library
doesn't need to care about the networking stack at all. Make it the
caller's responsibility to feed the library with bytes from the
network.

Please take a look at src/gwproxy/socks5.c

That's a perfect example of socks5 bytes processing without
networking. Purely bytes parsing.

That way you can use io_uring, epoll, or whatever shiny features, even
statically allocated fake bytes work.

That's right, it was the last unfinished discussion. Nice that you
bring that point again.

I think we should not be following c-ares. The io_uring design simply
can't work with c-ares' style abstraction. gwproxy DNS library does not
need to have the same interface as c-ares.

And yes, socks5.c is a perfect example.

JFYI, the other day Ahmad also wrote a similar library that accepts
only bytes (for socks5). It should not be hard to convert the current
design to be like that given the experience.

You can continue to v5, just drop the c-ares style thing, make it
possible for both, io_uring and epoll pattern.

Well, dnsparser.c contains pure byte parsing code, so you might want to
take a look there.

That part is good. You're half way to get there. But that parser doesn't
provide all necessary parts to resolve a domain.

The problem with the current design is the primary interfaces you
provide. They are gw_ares_init(), gw_ares_getaddrinfo(), etc. Those
things do 'full networking setup' which is not suitable for io_uring
pattern.

Let's make a simple rule. No syscalls in the DNS library. An exception
maybe reading /etc/hosts, but you can skip that part for now.

The DNS lib should at least accept:
    - Domain name.
    - Service name (port).
    - Address families to be resolved (AF_INET or AF_INET6).
    - Received bytes from the network.
    - Pointer to recv and send buffer (including their lengths).

The DNS lib should at least generate:
    - Resolved addresses in 'struct gwp_sockaddr' form.
    - Bytes to be sent to the network.

If you provide such interfaces, it can be integrated with all networking
patterns. And that's what we're trying to achieve by inventing our own
library.

I didn't catch this mistake earlier because I only skimmed the code.
Thanks to Alviro for pointing it out yesterday.

You should also now realize that your "gw_ares" design is not compatible
with prep_{recv,send} calls from io_uring. Right?

[Ahmad Gani]

Sorry for the late reply! I've been caught up reading manga [1] and kind of
slacking on the development of this feature. But I'm feeling motivated
again—Anyway, let's pick up where we left off.

So, the goal is to have an abstraction for name resolution without relying
on glibc's getaddrinfo, allowing asynchronous operation without separate,
dedicated DNS thread(s), right?

I've created `gwdns_build_query` and `gwdns_parse_query`, which should
meet those criteria, please take a look at new email threads [2].

[PATCH gwproxy v4 5/6] dnsparser: Transaction id creation is delegated to caller

[Ahmad Gani]

It gives the caller more flexibility in handling DNS requests.

A single domain name lookup can have two responses: one for IPv4 and one
for IPv6. With this change, the caller may use the same txid for both queries,
making it easier to group related DNS responses.

Don't yield unrelated changes. Something like this, variable
reordering, should be squashed. It has no relevance with "Transaction

Err.. How do you usually clean up commits like this? I accidentally amended
the changes to the current commit, and splitting it manually without a diff
seems like a nightmare. Is there a way to make splitting a patch easier?

What do you mean by "splitting it manually without a diff"?

I don't understand the exact activity you meant.

This splitting problem is because you didn't do it in the first place.
I don't often do that.

You can unstage the unrelated hunk, then amend a previous commit to
apply the same changes where that hunk should be applied.

That's just one hunk specific to variable reordering, it should not be
a problem. If you had a large chunk, you could copy the hunk and apply
it using "git apply" anw.

But this one is not a nightmare, this is just one line change.

And even If you lost the change due to a mistake in performing "git
commit --amend", you can still fetch the old changes from git reflog.

And even if your git reflog is fully destroyed, you still have the
patches you sent via email that can be reapplied, resulting in the
same git history, just that with different SHA1 hashes.

Yeah, after a second thought, this isn't a nightmare at all.

All I need to do is just git rebase the previous commit that isn't tainted
and copy-paste necessary and relevant changes from the mixed patch file
while listening to Bad Apple with full bass; it is such a relief.
/s

Anyway, after reading an email on another thread, I guess I don't need to
fix this if it's going to be redesigned anyway.

This kind of change should be squashed. And var declaration should be
placed on the top.

I have applied these two patches as they're already in a good shape.
You can rebase on top of master branch.

Err... I made a small change to net.c, but it looks like the patch was
already pulled. I just added a macro guard for _GNU_SOURCE to get rid of
compiler warning about a macro constant being redeclared. What should I
do in this case?

The CI build on GitHub didn't catch that warning. Not sure. It probably
missed -Werror flag on GitHub Actions, I'll take a look later. Still
cleaning my kitchen now...

You can send a follow up patch with a Fixes tag.

Yeah, it's missing -Werror flag on the CI, so it didn't fail. That warning
actually exists:

I was a bit busy deep cleaning my house and had several video calls.

Now I am back to this CI thing, it turned out that when enabling
io_uring support, it breaks 32-bit architectures. This one is from
i686:

```
Apparently this happens because a pointer size on 32-bit architectures
is 32-bit. We need double-casts to fix mess. I'll fix it.

FWIW, I have fixed the _GNU_SOURCE redefinition warning together with other
32-bit archs warnings.
