Detailed Description

This file contains a module that performs recursive iterative DNS query processing.

Macro Definition Documentation

MAX_REFERRAL_COUNT

#define MAX_REFERRAL_COUNT   130

max number of referrals.

Makes sure resolver does not run away

MAX_MINIMISE_COUNT

#define MAX_MINIMISE_COUNT   10

max number of QNAME minimisation iterations.

Limits number of queries for QNAMEs with a lot of labels.

RTT_BAND

#define RTT_BAND   400

RTT band, within this amount from the best, servers are chosen randomly.

Chosen so that the UNKNOWN_SERVER_NICENESS falls within the band of a fast server, this causes server exploration as a side benefit. msec.

Enumeration Type Documentation

minimisation_state

enum minimisation_state

QNAME minimisation state.

Enumerator
INIT_MINIMISE_STATE	(Re)start minimisation. Outgoing QNAME should be set to dp->name. State entered on new query or after following referral or CNAME.
MINIMISE_STATE	QNAME minimisation ongoing. Increase QNAME on every iteration.
SKIP_MINIMISE_STATE	Don't increment QNAME this iteration.
DONOT_MINIMISE_STATE	Send out full QNAME + original QTYPE.

iter_state

enum iter_state

State of the iterator for a query.

Enumerator
INIT_REQUEST_STATE	Externally generated queries start at this state. Query restarts are reset to this state.
INIT_REQUEST_2_STATE	Root priming events reactivate here, most other events pass through this naturally as the 2nd part of the INIT_REQUEST_STATE.
INIT_REQUEST_3_STATE	Stub priming events reactivate here, most other events pass through this naturally as the 3rd part of the INIT_REQUEST_STATE.
QUERYTARGETS_STATE	Each time a delegation point changes for a given query or a query times out and/or wakes up, this state is (re)visited. This state is responsible for iterating through a list of nameserver targets.
QUERY_RESP_STATE	Responses to queries start at this state. This state handles the decision tree associated with handling responses.
PRIME_RESP_STATE	Responses to priming queries finish at this state.
COLLECT_CLASS_STATE	Collecting query class information, for qclass=ANY, when it spawns off queries for every class, it returns here.
DSNS_FIND_STATE	Find NS record to resolve DS record from, walking to the right NS spot until we find it.
FINISHED_STATE	Responses that are to be returned upstream end at this state. As well as responses to target queries.

target_count_variables

enum target_count_variables

Shared counters for queries.

Enumerator
TARGET_COUNT_REF	Reference count for the shared iter_qstate->target_count.
TARGET_COUNT_QUERIES	Number of target queries spawned for the query and subqueries.
TARGET_COUNT_NX	Number of nxdomain responses encountered.
TARGET_COUNT_GLOBAL_QUOTA	Global quota on number of queries to upstream servers per client request, that is never reset.
TARGET_COUNT_MAX	This should stay last here, it is used for the allocation.

Function Documentation

iter_get_funcblock()

struct module_func_block* iter_get_funcblock

(

void

)

Get the iterator function block.

Returns

iter_state_to_string()

const char* iter_state_to_string

(

enum iter_state

state

)

Get iterator state as a string.

Parameters

state

to convert

Returns

constant string that is printable.

iter_state_is_responsestate()

int iter_state_is_responsestate

(

enum iter_state

s

)

See if iterator state is a response state.

Parameters

s	to inspect

Returns

true if response state.

iter_inform_super()

void iter_inform_super	(	struct module_qstate *	qstate,
		int	id,
		struct module_qstate *	super
	)

Return priming query results to interested super querystates.

Sets the delegation point and delegation message (not nonRD queries). This is a callback from walk_supers.

Parameters

qstate	query state that finished.
id	module id.
super	the qstate to inform.

Variable Documentation

USEFUL_SERVER_TOP_TIMEOUT

int USEFUL_SERVER_TOP_TIMEOUT

extern

maximum timeout before a host is deemed unsuitable, in msec.

After host_ttl this will be timed out and the host will be tried again. Equals RTT_MAX_TIMEOUT, and thus when RTT_MAX_TIMEOUT is overwritten by config infra_cache_max_rtt, it will be overwritten as well.
