2020-08-11Changing router to application port exchange protocol.Max Romanov1-37/+0
The application process needs to request the port from the router instead of the latter pushing the port before sending a request to the application. This is required to simplify the communication between the router and the application and to prepare the router to use the application shared port and then the queue.
2020-08-11Libunit refactoring: port management.Max Romanov1-1/+1
- Changed the port management callbacks to notifications, which e. g. avoids the need to call the libunit function - Added context and library instance reference counts for a safer resource release - Added the router main port initialization
2020-06-23Isolation: fixed build when features aren't detected.Tiago Natel de Moura1-12/+4
2020-05-28Added "rootfs" feature.Tiago Natel de Moura1-0/+358
2020-03-09Refactor of process management.Tiago Natel de Moura1-160/+374
The process abstraction has changed to: setup(task, process) start(task, process_data) prefork(task, process, mp) The prefork() occurs in the main process right before fork. The file src/nxt_main_process.c is completely free of process specific logic. The creation of a process now supports a PROCESS_CREATED state. The The setup() function of each process can set its state to either created or ready. If created, a MSG_PROCESS_CREATED is sent to main process, where external setup can be done (required for rootfs under container). The core processes (discovery, controller and router) doesn't need external setup, then they all proceeds to their start() function straight away. In the case of applications, the load of the module happens at the process setup() time and The module's init() function has changed to be the start() of the process. The module API has changed to: setup(task, process, conf) start(task, data) As a direct benefit of the PROCESS_CREATED message, the clone(2) of processes using pid namespaces now doesn't need to create a pipe to make the child block until parent setup uid/gid mappings nor it needs to receive the child pid.
2020-04-10Resolving a racing condition while adding ports on the app's side.Max Romanov1-5/+12
An earlier attempt (ad6265786871) to resolve this condition on the router's side added a new issue: the app could get a request before acquiring a port.
2020-04-06Fixing 'find & add' racing condition in connected ports hash.Max Romanov1-14/+6
Missing error log messages added.
2019-12-06Isolation: allowed the use of credentials with unpriv userns.Tiago Natel1-6/+26
The setuid/setgid syscalls requires root capabilities but if the kernel supports unprivileged user namespace then the child process has the full set of capabilities in the new namespace, then we can allow setting "user" and "group" in such cases (this is a common security use case). Tests were added to ensure user gets meaningful error messages for uid/gid mapping misconfigurations.
2019-12-06Moved credential-related code to nxt_credential.c.Tiago Natel1-334/+1
This is required to avoid include cycles, as some nxt_clone_* functions depend on the credential structures, but nxt_process depends on clone structures.
2019-11-26Refactor of process init.Tiago Natel1-12/+12
Introduces the functions nxt_process_init_create() and nxt_process_init_creds_set().
2019-11-26Changed the group listing to run unprivileged when possible.Tiago Natel1-30/+104
Now the nxt_user_groups_get() function uses getgrouplist(3) when available (except MacOS, see below). For some platforms, getgrouplist() supports a method of probing how much groups the user has but the behavior is not consistent. The method used here consists of optimistically trying to get up to min(256, NGROUPS_MAX) groups; only if ngroups returned exceeds the original value, we do a second call. This method can block main's process if LDAP/NDIS+ is in use. MacOS has getgrouplist(3) but it's buggy. It doesn't update ngroups if the value passed is smaller than the number of groups the user has. Some projects (like Go stdlib) call getgrouplist() in a loop, increasing ngroups until it exceeds the number of groups user belongs to or fail when a limit is reached. For performance reasons, this is to be avoided and MacOS is handled in the fallback implementation. The fallback implementation is the old Unit approach. It saves main's user groups (getgroups(2)) and then calls initgroups(3) to load application's groups in main, then does a second getgroups(2) to store the gids and restore main's groups in the end. Because of initgroups(3)' call to setgroups(2), this method requires root capabilities. In the case of OSX, which has small NGROUPS_MAX by default (16), it's not possible to restore main's groups if it's large; if so, this method fallbacks again: user_cred gids aren't stored, and the worker process calls initgroups() itself and may block for some time if LDAP/NDIS+ is in use.
2019-10-29Process port refactoring.Hong Zhi Dao1-0/+11
- Introduced nxt_runtime_process_port_create(). - Moved nxt_process_use() into nxt_process.c from nxt_runtime.c. - Renamed nxt_runtime_process_remove_pid() as nxt_runtime_process_remove(). - Some public functions transformed to static. This closes #327 issue on GitHub.
2019-10-28Added clone syscall check for uid/gid mapping.Tiago Natel1-1/+1
Now it's possible to pass -DNXT_HAVE_CLONE=0 for debugging.
2019-10-22Improved error logging when uid/gid map is not properly set.Tiago Natel1-2/+30
When using "credential: true", the new namespace starts with a completely empty uid and gid ranges. Then, any setuid/setgid/setgroups calls using ids not properly mapped with uidmap and gidmap fields return EINVAL, meaning the id is not valid inside the new namespace.

2018-06-18Removing Unix control socket on start failure.Igor Sysoev1-3/+1
The bug had appeared in 5cc5002a788e when process type has been converted to bitmask. This commit reverts the type back to a number. This commit is related to #131 issue on GitHub.

2017-10-19Filtering process to keep connection.Max Romanov1-6/+43
- Main process should be connected to all other processes. - Controller should be connected to Router. - Router should be connected to Controller and all Workers. - Workers should be connected to Router worker thread ports only. This filtering helps to avoid unnecessary communication and various errors during massive application workers stop / restart.
2017-10-19Supporting concurrent shared memory fd receive in router.Max Romanov1-2/+2
Two different router threads may send different requests to single application worker. In this case shared memory fds from worker to router will be send over 2 different router ports. These fds will be received and processed by different threads in any order. This patch made possible to add incoming shared memory segments in arbitrary order. Additionally, array and memory pool are no longer used to store segments because of pool's single threaded nature. Custom array-like structure nxt_port_mmaps_t introduced.
2017-10-04Introducing process use counter.Max Romanov1-16/+19
This helps to decouple process removal from port memory pool cleanups.
2017-10-04Introducing use counters for port and app. Thread safe port write.Max Romanov1-7/+5
Use counter helps to simplify logic around port and application free. Port 'post' function introduced to simplify post execution of particular function to original port engine's thread. Write message queue is protected by mutex which makes port write operation thread safe.
2017-10-04Removing mem_pool from port_hash interface.Max Romanov1-13/+2
Memory pool is not used by port_hash and it was a mistake to pass it into 'add' and 'remove' functions. port_hash enrties are allocated from heap.
