The agent configuration for the consul server is a partial configuration
which needs to be cloned to avoid data races.
This is a stop-gap measure before moving the configuration into
a separate package.
The tests that use the localState of the agent access the internal
variables and call methods which are not guarded by locks creating
data races in tests. While the use of internal variables is somewhat
easy to spot the fact that not all methods are thread-safe is a
surprise.
A proper fix requires the localState struct to be moved into its own
package so that tests in the agent can only access the external
interface.
However, the localState is currently dependent on the agent.Config
which would create a circular dependency. Therefore, the Config
struct needs to be moved first for this to happen.
This patch literally monkey patches the use of the lock around the
cases which have data races and marks them with a
// todo(fs): data race comment.
The sessionTimers map was secured by a lock which wasn't used
properly in the tests. This lead to data races and failing tests
when accessing the length or the members of the map.
This patch adds a separate SessionTimers struct which is safe
for concurrent use and which ecapsulates the behavior of the
sessionTimers map.
When using dynamic ports for the serf clusters then
the actual bind port of the serf WAN cluster needs to
be discovered before the serf LAN cluster is started
since the serf LAN cluster announces the port of the WAN
cluster.
Host header must be set explicitely on http requests

The makeRecursor function was using an unreliable mechanism
to start a server with a random port. This patch changes this
so that the server starts on port 0 to let the kernel pick
a free port.
In addition, to similar functions for starting a test DNS
server were folded into one.
This patch fixes watch registration through the config file and a broken log line when the watch registration fails. It also plumbs all the watch loading through a common function and tweaks the
unit test to create the watch before the reload.
This patch adds an "http_config" object to the config file
and moves the "http_api_response_headers" option there.
"http_api_response_headers" is now deprecated in favor of
"http_config.response_headers"
When the agent is triggered to shutdown via an external 'consul leave'
command delivered via the HTTP API then the client expects to receive a
response when the agent is down. This creates a race on when to shutdown
the agent itself like the RPC server, the checks and the state and the
external endpoints like DNS and HTTP.
This patch splits the shutdown process into two parts:
* shutdown the agent
* shutdown the endpoints (http and dns)
They can be executed multiple times, concurrently and in any order but
should be executed first agent, then endpoints to provide consistent
behavior across all use cases. Both calls have to be executed for a
proper shutdown.
This could be partially hidden in a single function but would introduce
some magic that happens behind the scenes which one has to know of but
isn't obvious.
Fixes#2880
This patch hides the RPC handler overwrite mechanism from the
rest of the code so that it works in all cases and that there
is no cooperation required from the tested code, i.e. we can
drop a.getEndpoint().
Fix stale reads on server startup. Consistent reads will now wait for up to config.RPCHoldTimeout for the server to get past its raft log, before returning an error. Servers that are starting up will eventually catch up.
This fixes issue #2644
When the agent is triggered to shutdown via an external 'consul leave'
command delivered via the HTTP API then the client expects to receive a
response when the agent is down. This creates a race on when to shutdown
the agent itself like the RPC server, the checks and the state and the
external endpoints like DNS and HTTP. Ideally, the external endpoints
should be shutdown before the internal state but if the goal is to
respond reliably that the agent is down then this is not possible.
This patch splits the agent shutdown into two parts implemented in a
single method to keep it simple and unambiguos for the caller. The first
stage shuts down the internal state, checks, RPC server, ...
synchronously and then triggers the shutdown of the external endpoints
asychronously. This way the caller is guaranteed that the internal state
services are down when Shutdown returns and there remains enough time to
send a response.
Fixes#2880
