This makes iterating over packets in buffers faster while still
maintaining the requirements for forward iterators. Not using operator+=
makes it clear that this is not a random access iterator.
If a connection attempt is not accepted due to the host being blocked, the
protocol can now return an error message that is sent to the client. Only
mariadb_client implements this as it is the only one who calls the auth
failure methods in the first place.
The RateLimit class stores authentication failure data mapped by the
client IP addresses. The authentication failures are limited
per thread. The limits are still hard-coded and at least the number of
failures should be made configurable.
The simplest, most maintainable and acceptably efficient implementation
for DDoS protection is a thread-local unordered_map. The unwanted
side-effect of "scaling" of the number of allowed authentication failures
is unlikely to be problematic in most use-cases.
As the blocking of a host is only temporary, the behavior differs from the
one in the MariaDB server. This allows the number of failures to be set to
a much lower value negating some of the problems caused by the relatively
simple implementation.
If the DCB was closed before the handshake for the LocalCliet connection
was received, the gw_decode_mysql_server_handshake would use the closed
DCB to log the connection ID. Clearing out the pointer prevents it.
Added core functionality for UNIX domain sockets in servers. Currently the
address parameter accepts them both but a separate `socket` parameter is
needed.
The largest part of the code deals with the start of a response. Moving
this into a subfunction makes the function clearer as the switch statement
inside a switch statement is removed.
By processing the packets one at a time, the reply state is updated
correctly regardless of how many packets are received. This removes the
need for the clunky code that used modutil_count_signal_packets to detect
the end of the result set.
Given the assumption that queries are rarely 16MB long and that
realistically the only time that happens is during a large dump of data,
we can limit the size of a single read to at most one MariaDB/MySQL packet
at a time. This change allows the network throttling to engage a lot
sooner and reduces the maximum overshoot of throtting to 16MB.
By logging the connection ID for each created connection, failures can be
traced back from the backend server all the way up to the client
application.
Some SQL clients may default to a different authentication plugin than
"mysql_native_password". Since this is the only one supported by MySQL-
authenticator, the client is instructed to swap its plugin.
If a result consists of only OK packets, they would be processed
recursively which most of the time leads to a stack overflow. This can be
prevented by consuming all OK packets in the result in one go.
If a DCB was closed and a hangup event was sent to it via
dcb_hangup_foreach shortly after it was closed, the DCB would still
receive it even if it was closed. To prevent this, events must only be
delivered to DCBs if they haven't been closed.
The protocol should not track the session state as the parsing is quite
expensive with the current code. This change is a workaround that enables
the parsing only when required. A proper way to handle this would be to do
all the response processing in one place thus avoiding the duplication of
work.
If an ignorable packet was followed by more than one queued packets, they
would all get routed in the same batch. This would cause unexpected
replies from the server if multiple ignorable packets were queued up.
There is a race condition between the addition of the DCB into epoll and
the execution of the event that initiates the protocol pointer for the DCB
and sends the handshake to the client. If a hangup event would occur
before the handshake would be sent, it would be possible that the DCB
would get freed before the code that sends the handshake is executed.
By picking the worker who owns the DCB before the DCB is placed into the
owner's epoll instance, we make sure no events arrive on the DCB while the
control is transferred from the accepting worker to the owning
worker.
If the connection to the master is lost, knowing what type of an error
caused the call to handleError helps deduce what was the real reason for
it. Logging the idle time of the connection helps detect when the
wait_timeout of a connection is exceeded.
Most of the ones still remaining outside are special cases.
Also, removed locking from status manipulation functions as it
has not been required for quite some time.
