Previously config entries sharing a kind & name but in different
namespaces could occasionally cause "stuck states" in replication
because the namespace fields were ignored during the differential
comparison phase.
Example:
Two config entries written to the primary:
kind=A,name=web,namespace=bar
kind=A,name=web,namespace=foo
Under the covers these both get saved to memdb, so they are sorted by
all 3 components (kind,name,namespace) during natural iteration. This
means that before the replication code does it's own incomplete sort,
the underlying data IS sorted by namespace ascending (bar comes before
foo).
After one pass of replication the primary and secondary datacenters have
the same set of config entries present. If
"kind=A,name=web,namespace=bar" were to be deleted, then things get
weird. Before replication the two sides look like:
primary: [
kind=A,name=web,namespace=foo
]
secondary: [
kind=A,name=web,namespace=bar
kind=A,name=web,namespace=foo
]
The differential comparison phase walks these two lists in sorted order
and first compares "kind=A,name=web,namespace=foo" vs
"kind=A,name=web,namespace=bar" and falsely determines they are the SAME
and are thus cause an update of "kind=A,name=web,namespace=foo". Then it
compares "<nothing>" with "kind=A,name=web,namespace=foo" and falsely
determines that the latter should be DELETED.
During reconciliation the deletes are processed before updates, and so
for a brief moment in the secondary "kind=A,name=web,namespace=foo" is
erroneously deleted and then immediately restored.
Unfortunately after this replication phase the final state is identical
to the initial state, so when it loops around again (rate limited) it
repeats the same set of operations indefinitely.
Required also converting some of the transaction functions to WriteTxn
because TxnRO() called the same helper as TxnRW.
This change allows us to return a memdb.Txn for read-only txn instead of
wrapping them with state.txn.
* Consul Service meta wrongly computes and exposes non_voter meta
In Serf Tags, entreprise members being non-voters use the tag
`nonvoter=1`, not `non_voter = false`, so non-voters in members
were wrongly displayed as voter.
Demonstration:
```
consul members -detailed|grep voter
consul20-hk5 10.200.100.110:8301 alive acls=1,build=1.8.4+ent,dc=hk5,expect=3,ft_fs=1,ft_ns=1,id=xxxxxxxx-5629-08f2-3a79-10a1ab3849d5,nonvoter=1,port=8300,raft_vsn=3,role=consul,segment=<all>,use_tls=1,vsn=2,vsn_max=3,vsn_min=2,wan_join_port=8302

Previously, we would emit service usage metrics both with and without a
namespace label attached. This is problematic in the case when you want
to aggregate metrics together, i.e. "sum(consul.state.services)". This
would cause services to be counted twice in that aggregate, once via the
metric emitted with a namespace label, and once in the metric emited
without any namespace label.
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.
Extend Consul’s intentions model to allow for request-based access control enforcement for HTTP-like protocols in addition to the existing connection-based enforcement for unspecified protocols (e.g. tcp).
- Upgrade the ConfigEntry.ListAll RPC to be kind-aware so that older
copies of consul will not see new config entries it doesn't understand
replicate down.
- Add shim conversion code so that the old API/CLI method of interacting
with intentions will continue to work so long as none of these are
edited via config entry endpoints. Almost all of the read-only APIs will
continue to function indefinitely.
- Add new APIs that operate on individual intentions without IDs so that
the UI doesn't need to implement CAS operations.
- Add a new serf feature flag indicating support for
intentions-as-config-entries.
- The old line-item intentions way of interacting with the state store
will transparently flip between the legacy memdb table and the config
entry representations so that readers will never see a hiccup during
migration where the results are incomplete. It uses a piece of system
metadata to control the flip.
- The primary datacenter will begin migrating intentions into config
entries on startup once all servers in the datacenter are on a version
of Consul with the intentions-as-config-entries feature flag. When it is
complete the old state store representations will be cleared. We also
record a piece of system metadata indicating this has occurred. We use
this metadata to skip ALL of this code the next time the leader starts
up.
- The secondary datacenters continue to run the old intentions
replicator until all servers in the secondary DC and primary DC support
intentions-as-config-entries (via serf flag). Once this condition it met
the old intentions replicator ceases.
- The secondary datacenters replicate the new config entries as they are
migrated in the primary. When they detect that the primary has zeroed
it's old state store table it waits until all config entries up to that
point are replicated and then zeroes its own copy of the old state store
table. We also record a piece of system metadata indicating this has
occurred. We use this metadata to skip ALL of this code the next time
the leader starts up.
This adds a new very tiny memdb table and corresponding raft operation
for updating a very small effective map[string]string collection of
"system metadata". This can persistently record a fact about the Consul
state machine itself.
The first use of this feature will come in a later PR.
Reduce Jitter to one function
Rename NewRetryWaiter
Fix a bug in calculateWait where maxWait was applied before jitter, which would make it
possible to wait longer than maxWait.
This really only matters for unit tests, since typically if an agent shuts down its server, it follows that up by exiting the process, which would also clean up all of the networking anyway.
The subscribe endpoint needs to be able to inspect the payload to filter
events, and convert them into the protobuf types.
Use the protobuf CatalogOp type for the operation field, for now. In the
future if we end up with multiple interfaces we should be able to remove
the protobuf dependency by changing this to an int32 and adding a test
for the mapping between the values.
Make the value of the payload a concrete type instead of interface{}. We
can create other payloads for other event types.
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.
* fix lessThanHalfTime
* get lock for CAProvider()
* make a var to relate both vars
* rename to getCAProviderWithLock
* move CertificateTimeDriftBuffer to agent/connect/ca
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.
secondaryIntermediateCertRenewalWatch was using `retryLoopBackoff` to
renew the intermediate certificate. Once it entered the inner loop and
started `retryLoopBackoff` it would never leave that.
`retryLoopBackoffAbortOnSuccess` will return when renewing is
successful, like it was intended originally.
The nodeCheck slice was being used as the first arg in append, which in some cases will modify the array backing the slice. This would lead to service checks for other services in the wrong event.
Also refactor some things to reduce the arguments to functions.
Creating a new readTxn does not work because it will not see the newly created objects that are about to be committed. Instead use the active write Txn.
Whenever an upsert/deletion of a config entry happens, within the open
state store transaction we speculatively test compile all discovery
chains that may be affected by the pending modification to verify that
the write would not create an erroneous scenario (such as splitting
traffic to a subset that did not exist).
If a single discovery chain evaluation references two config entries
with the same kind and name in different namespaces then sometimes the
upsert/deletion would be falsely rejected. It does not appear as though
this bug would've let invalid writes through to the state store so the
correction does not require a cleanup phase.
This commit refactors the state store usage code to track unique service
name changes on transaction commit. This means we only need to lookup
usage entries when reading the information, as opposed to iterating over
a large number of service indices.
- Take into account a service instance's name being changed
- Do not iterate through entire list of service instances, we only care
about whether there is 0, 1, or more than 1.
We add a WriteTxn interface for use in updating the usage memdb table,
with the forward-looking prospect of incrementally converting other
functions to accept interfaces.
As well, we use the ReadTxn in new usage code, and as a side effect
convert a couple of existing functions to use that interface as well.
Using the newly provided state store methods, we periodically emit usage
metrics from the servers.
We decided to emit these metrics from all servers, not just the leader,
because that means we do not have to care about leader election flapping
causing metrics turbulence, and it seems reasonable for each server to
emit its own view of the state, even if they should always converge
rapidly.
During gossip encryption key rotation it would be nice to be able to see if all nodes are using the same key. This PR adds another field to the json response from `GET v1/operator/keyring` which lists the primary keys in use per dc. That way an operator can tell when a key was successfully setup as primary key.
Based on https://github.com/hashicorp/serf/pull/611 to add primary key to list keyring output:
```json

```
I intentionally did not change the CLI output because I didn't find a good way of displaying this information. There are a couple of options that we could implement later:
* add a flag to show the primary keys
* add a flag to show json output
Fixes#3393.

Since Consul 1.8.0 there was a bug in how ingress gateway protocol
compatibility was enforced. At the point in time that an ingress-gateway
config entry was modified the discovery chain for each upstream was
checked to ensure the ingress gateway protocol matched. Unfortunately
future modifications of other config entries were not validated against
existing ingress-gateway definitions, such as:
1. create tcp ingress-gateway pointing to 'api' (ok)
2. create service-defaults for 'api' setting protocol=http (worked, but not ok)
3. create service-splitter or service-router for 'api' (worked, but caused an agent panic)
If you were to do these in a different order, it would fail without a
crash:
1. create service-defaults for 'api' setting protocol=http (ok)
2. create service-splitter or service-router for 'api' (ok)
3. create tcp ingress-gateway pointing to 'api' (fail with message about
protocol mismatch)
This PR introduces the missing validation. The two new behaviors are:
1. create tcp ingress-gateway pointing to 'api' (ok)
2. (NEW) create service-defaults for 'api' setting protocol=http ("ok" for back compat)
3. (NEW) create service-splitter or service-router for 'api' (fail with
message about protocol mismatch)
In consideration for any existing users that may be inadvertently be
falling into item (2) above, that is now officiall a valid configuration
to be in. For anyone falling into item (3) above while you cannot use
the API to manufacture that scenario anymore, anyone that has old (now
bad) data will still be able to have the agent use them just enough to
generate a new agent/proxycfg error message rather than a panic.
Unfortunately we just don't have enough information to properly fix the
config entries.
* changes some functions to return data instead of modifying pointer
arguments
* renames globalRPC() to keyringRPCs() to make its purpose more clear
* restructures KeyringOperation() to make it more understandable
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.
Ensure that enabling AutoConfig sets the tls configurator properly
This also refactors the TLS configurator a bit so the naming doesn’t imply only AutoEncrypt as the source of the automatically setup TLS cert info.
Most of the groundwork was laid in previous PRs between adding the cert-monitor package to extracting the logic of signing certificates out of the connect_ca_endpoint.go code and into a method on the server.
This also refactors the auto-config package a bit to split things out into multiple files.
