The grpc resolver implementation is fed from changes to the
router.Router. Within the router there is a map of various areas storing
the addressing information for servers in those areas. All map entries
are of the WAN variety except a single special entry for the LAN.
Addressing information in the LAN "area" are local addresses intended
for use when making a client-to-server or server-to-server request.
The client agent correctly updates this LAN area when receiving lan serf
events, so by extension the grpc resolver works fine in that scenario.
The server agent only initially populates a single entry in the LAN area
(for itself) on startup, and then never mutates that area map again.
For normal RPCs a different structure is used for LAN routing.
Additionally when selecting a server to contact in the local datacenter
it will randomly select addresses from either the LAN or WAN addressed
entries in the map.
Unfortunately this means that the grpc resolver stack as it exists on
server agents is either broken or only accidentally functions by having
servers dial each other over the WAN-accessible address. If the operator
disables the serf wan port completely likely this incidental functioning
would break.
This PR enforces that local requests for servers (both for stale reads
or leader forwarded requests) exclusively use the LAN "area" information
and also fixes it so that servers keep that area up to date in the
router.
A test for the grpc resolver logic was added, as well as a higher level
full-stack test to ensure the externally perceived bug does not return.
Registering gRPC balancers is thread-unsafe because they are stored in a
global map variable that is accessed without holding a lock. Therefore,
it's expected that balancers are registered _once_ at the beginning of
your program (e.g. in a package `init` function) and certainly not after
you've started dialing connections, etc.
> NOTE: this function must only be called during initialization time
> (i.e. in an init() function), and is not thread-safe.
While this is fine for us in production, it's challenging for tests that
spin up multiple agents in-memory. We currently register a balancer per-
agent which holds agent-specific state that cannot safely be shared.
This commit introduces our own registry that _is_ thread-safe, and
implements the Builder interface such that we can call gRPC's `Register`
method once, on start-up. It uses the same pattern as our resolver
registry where we use the dial target's host (aka "authority"), which is
unique per-agent, to determine which builder to use.
This is the OSS portion of enterprise PR 3822.
Adds a custom gRPC balancer that replicates the router's server cycling
behavior. Also enables automatic retries for RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED errors,
which we now get for free.
Fix an issue where rpc_hold_timeout was being used as the timeout for non-blocking queries. Users should be able to tune read timeouts without fiddling with rpc_hold_timeout. A new configuration `rpc_read_timeout` is created.
Refactor some implementation from the original PR 11500 to remove the misleading linkage between RPCInfo's timeout (used to retry in case of certain modes of failures) and the client RPC timeouts.
Prior to #13244, connect proxies and gateways could only be configured by an
xDS session served by the local client agent.
In an upcoming release, it will be possible to deploy a Consul service mesh
without client agents. In this model, xDS sessions will be handled by the
servers themselves, which necessitates load-balancing to prevent a single
server from receiving a disproportionate amount of load and becoming
overwhelmed.
This introduces a simple form of load-balancing where Consul will attempt to
achieve an even spread of load (xDS sessions) between all healthy servers.
It does so by implementing a concurrent session limiter (limiter.SessionLimiter)
and adjusting the limit according to autopilot state and proxy service
registrations in the catalog.
If a server is already over capacity (i.e. the session limit is lowered),
Consul will begin draining sessions to rebalance the load. This will result
in the client receiving a `RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED` status code. It is the client's
responsibility to observe this response and reconnect to a different server.
Users of the gRPC client connection brokered by the
consul-server-connection-manager library will get this for free.
The rate at which Consul will drain sessions to rebalance load is scaled
dynamically based on the number of proxies in the catalog.
Previously, public referred to gRPC services that are both exposed on
the dedicated gRPC port and have their definitions in the proto-public
directory (so were considered usable by 3rd parties). Whereas private
referred to services on the multiplexed server port that are only usable
by agents and other servers.
Now, we're splitting these definitions, such that external/internal
refers to the port and public/private refers to whether they can be used
by 3rd parties.
This is necessary because the peering replication API needs to be
exposed on the dedicated port, but is not (yet) suitable for use by 3rd
parties.
This is the OSS portion of enterprise PR 2056.
This commit provides server-local implementations of the proxycfg.ConfigEntry
and proxycfg.ConfigEntryList interfaces, that source data from streaming events.
It makes use of the LocalMaterializer type introduced for peering replication,
adding the necessary support for authorization.
It also adds support for "wildcard" subscriptions (within a topic) to the event
publisher, as this is needed to fetch service-resolvers for all services when
configuring mesh gateways.
Currently, events will be emitted for just the ingress-gateway, service-resolver,
and mesh config entry types, as these are the only entries required by proxycfg
— the events will be emitted on topics named IngressGateway, ServiceResolver,
and MeshConfig topics respectively.
Though these events will only be consumed "locally" for now, they can also be
consumed via the gRPC endpoint (confirmed using grpcurl) so using them from
client agents should be a case of swapping the LocalMaterializer for an
RPCMaterializer.
Adds a timeout (deadline) to client RPC calls, so that streams will no longer hang indefinitely in unstable network conditions.

Introduces the capability to configure TLS differently for Consul's
listeners/ports (i.e. HTTPS, gRPC, and the internal multiplexed RPC
port) which is useful in scenarios where you may want the HTTPS or
gRPC interfaces to present a certificate signed by a well-known/public
CA, rather than the certificate used for internal communication which
must have a SAN in the form `server.<dc>.consul`.

tlsutil.Config already presents an excellent structure for this
configuration. Copying the runtime config fields to agent/consul.Config
makes code harder to trace, and provides no advantage.
Instead of copying the fields around, use the tlsutil.Config struct
directly instead.
This is one small step in removing the many layers of duplicate
configuration.
I believe this commit also fixes a bug. Previously RPCMaxConnsPerClient was not being re-read from the RuntimeConfig, so passing it to Server.ReloadConfig was never changing the value.
Also improve the test runtime by not doing a lot of unnecessary work.
Add a skip condition to all tests slower than 100ms.
This change was made using `gotestsum tool slowest` with data from the
last 3 CI runs of master.
See https://github.com/gotestyourself/gotestsum#finding-and-skipping-slow-tests
With this change:
```
$ time go test -count=1 -short ./agent
ok github.com/hashicorp/consul/agent 0.743s
real 0m4.791s
$ time go test -count=1 -short ./agent/consul
ok github.com/hashicorp/consul/agent/consul 4.229s
real 0m8.769s
```
This allows for client agent to be run in a more stateless manner where they may be abruptly terminated and not expected to come back. If advertising a per-agent reconnect timeout using the advertise_reconnect_timeout configuration when that agent leaves, other agents will wait only that amount of time for the agent to come back before reaping it.
This has the advantageous side effect of causing servers to deregister the node/services/checks for that agent sooner than if the global reconnect_timeout was used.
Rename GRPCClient to ClientConnPool. This type appears to be more of a
conn pool than a client. The clients receive the connections from this
pool.
Reduce some dependencies by adjusting the interface baoundaries.
Remove the need to create a second slice of Servers, just to pick one and throw the rest away.
Unexport serverResolver, it is not used outside the package.
Use a RWMutex for ServerResolverBuilder, some locking is read-only.
Add more godoc.
In an upcoming change we will need to pass a grpc.ClientConnPool from
BaseDeps into Server. While looking at that change I noticed all of the
existing consulOption fields are already on BaseDeps.
Instead of duplicating the fields, we can create a struct used by
agent/consul, and use that struct in BaseDeps. This allows us to pass
along dependencies without translating them into different
representations.
I also looked at moving all of BaseDeps in agent/consul, however that
created some circular imports. Resolving those cycles wouldn't be too
bad (it was only an error in agent/consul being imported from
cache-types), however this change seems a little better by starting to
introduce some structure to BaseDeps.
This change is also a small step in reducing the scope of Agent.
Also remove some constants that were only used by tests, and move the
relevant comment to where the live configuration is set.
Removed some validation from NewServer and NewClient, as these are not
really runtime errors. They would be code errors, which will cause a
panic anyway, so no reason to handle them specially here.
NotifyShutdown was only used for testing. Now that t.Cleanup exists, we
can use that instead of attaching cleanup to the Server shutdown.
The Autopilot test which used NotifyShutdown doesn't need this
notification because Shutdown is synchronous. Waiting for the function
to return is equivalent.
Replaces #7559
Running tests in parallel, with background goroutines, results in test output not being associated with the correct test. `go test` does not make any guarantees about output from goroutines being attributed to the correct test case.
Attaching log output from background goroutines also cause data races. If the goroutine outlives the test, it will race with the test being marked done. Previously this was noticed as a panic when logging, but with the race detector enabled it is shown as a data race.
The previous solution did not address the problem of correct test attribution because test output could still be hidden when it was associated with a test that did not fail. You would have to look at all of the log output to find the relevant lines. It also made debugging test failures more difficult because each log line was very long.
This commit attempts a new approach. Instead of printing all the logs, only print when a test fails. This should work well when there are a small number of failures, but may not work well when there are many test failures at the same time. In those cases the failures are unlikely a result of a specific test, and the log output is likely less useful.
All of the logs are printed from the test goroutine, so they should be associated with the correct test.
Also removes some test helpers that were not used, or only had a single caller. Packages which expose many functions with similar names can be difficult to use correctly.

The version field has been used to decide which multiplexing to use. It
was introduced in 2457293dceec95ecd12ef4f01442e13710ea131a. But this is
6y ago and there is no need for this differentiation anymore.
Three of the checks are temporarily disabled to limit the size of the
diff, and allow us to enable all the other checks in CI.
In a follow up we can fix the issues reported by the other checks one
at a time, and enable them.
Based on work done in https://github.com/hashicorp/memberlist/pull/196
this allows to restrict the IP ranges that can join a given Serf cluster
and be a member of the cluster.
Restrictions on IPs can be done separatly using 2 new differents flags
and config options to restrict IPs for LAN and WAN Serf.
