An additional cache entry is expected to be (somehow) * attached to a particular RR in a particular DB node, and contains a set * of information of an additional data for the DB node. * * An additional cache object is intended to be created as a per-view * object, and manages all cache entries within the view. * * The intended usage of the additional caching is to provide a short cut * to additional glue RRs of an NS RR. For each NS RR, it is often * necessary to look for glue RRs to make a proper response. Once the * glue RRs are known, the additional caching allows the client to * associate the information to the original NS RR so that further * expensive lookups can be avoided for the NS RR. * * Each additional cache entry contains information to identify a * particular DB node and (optionally) an associated RRset. The * information consists of its zone, database, the version of the * database, database node, and RRset. * * A "negative" information can also be cached. For example, if a glue * RR does not exist as an authoritative data in the same zone as that * of the NS RR, this fact can be cached by specifying a NULL pointer * for the database, version, and node. (See the description for * dns_acache_getentry() below for more details.) * * Since each member stored in an additional cache entry holds a reference * to a corresponding object, a stale cache entry may cause unnecessary * memory consumption. For instance, when a zone is reloaded, additional * cache entries that have a reference to the zone (and its DB and/or * DB nodes) can delay the cleanup of the referred objects. In order to * minimize such a bad effect, this module provides several cleanup * mechanisms. * * The first one is a shutdown procedure called when the associated view * is shut down. In this case, dns_acache_shutdown() will be called and * all cache entries will be purged. This mechanism will help the * situation when the configuration is reloaded or the main server is * stopped. * * Per-DB cleanup mechanism is also provided. Each additional cache entry * is associated with related DB, which is expected to have been * registered when the DB was created by dns_acache_setdb(). If a * particular DB is going to be destroyed, the primary holder of the DB, * a typical example of which is a zone, will call dns_acache_putdb(). * Then this module will clean-up all cache entries associated with the * DB. This mechanism is effective when a secondary zone DB is going to * be stale after a zone transfer. * * Finally, this module supports for periodic clean-up of stale entries. * Each cache entry has a timestamp field, which is updated every time * the entry is referred. A periodically invoked cleaner checks the * timestamp of each entry, and purge entries that have not been referred * for a certain period. The cleaner interval can be specified by * dns_acache_setcleaninginterval(). If the periodic clean-up is not * enough, it is also possible to specify the upper limit of entries * in terms of the memory consumption. If the maximum value is * specified, the cleaner is invoked when the memory consumption reaches * the high watermark inferred from the maximum value. In this case, * the cleaner will use more aggressive algorithm to decide the "victim" * entries. The maximum value can be specified by * dns_acache_setcachesize(). * * When a cache entry is going to be purged within this module, the * callback function specified at the creation time will be called. * The callback function is expected to release all internal resources * related to the entry, which will typically be specific to DB * implementation, and to call dns_acache_detachentry(). The callback * mechanism is very important, since the holder of an additional cache * entry may not be able to initiate the clean-up of the entry, due to * the reference ordering. For example, as long as an additional cache * entry has a reference to a DB object, the DB cannot be freed, in which * a DB node may have a reference to the cache entry. * * Credits: * The basic idea of this kind of short-cut for frequently used * information is similar to the "pre-compiled answer" approach adopted * in nsd by NLnet LABS with RIPE NCC. Our work here is an independent * effort, but the success of nsd encouraged us to pursue this path. * * The design and implementation of the periodic memory management and * the upper limitation of memory consumption was derived from the cache * DB implementation of BIND9. * * MP: * There are two main locks in this module. One is for each entry, and * the other is for the additional cache object. * * Reliability: * The callback function for a cache entry is called with holding the * entry lock. Thus, it implicitly assumes the callback function does not * call a function that can require the lock. Typically, the only * function that can be called from the callback function safely is * dns_acache_detachentry(). The breakage of this implicit assumption * may cause a deadlock. * * Resources: * In a 32-bit architecture (such as i386), the following additional * memory is required comparing to the case that disables this module. * - 76 bytes for each additional cache entry * - if the entry has a DNS name and associated RRset, * * 44 bytes + size of the name (1-255 bytes) * * 52 bytes x number_of_RRs * - 28 bytes for each DB related to this module * * Using the additional cache also requires extra memory consumption in * the DB implementation. In the current implementation for rbtdb, we * need: * - two additional pointers for each DB node (8 bytes for a 32-bit * architecture * - for each RR associated to an RR in a DB node, we also need * a pointer and management objects to support the additional cache * function. These are allocated on-demand. The total size is * 32 bytes for a 32-bit architecture. * * Security: * Since this module does not handle any low-level data directly, * no security issue specific to this module is anticipated. * * Standards: * None. */ /*** *** Imports ***/ #include <isc/mutex.h> #include <isc/lang.h> #include <isc/stdtime.h> #include <dns/types.h> /*** *** Functions ***/ ISC_LANG_BEGINDECLS isc_result_t dns_acache_create(dns_acache_t **acachep, isc_mem_t *mctx, isc_taskmgr_t *taskmgr, isc_timermgr_t *timermgr); /* * Create a new DNS additional cache object. * * Requires: * * 'mctx' is a valid memory context * * 'taskmgr' is a valid task manager * * 'timermgr' is a valid timer or NULL.
