We recently merged a circuit cell queue size safeguard. This commit adds the
number of killed circuits that have reached the limit to the DoS heartbeat. It
now looks like this:
[notice] DoS mitigation since startup: 0 circuits killed with too many
cells. 0 circuits rejected, 0 marked addresses. 0 connections closed. 0
single hop clients refused.
Second thing that this patch does. It makes tor always print the DoS
mitigation heartbeat line (for a relay) even though no DoS mitigation have
been enabled. The reason is because we now kill circuits that have too many
cells regardless on if it is enabled or not but also it will give the operator
a chance to learn what is enabled with the heartbeat instead of suddenly
appearing when it is enabled by let say the consensus.

This commit introduces the consensus parameter "circ_max_cell_queue_size"
which controls the maximum number of cells a circuit queue should have.
The default value is currently 50000 cells which is above what should be
expected but keeps us a margin of error for padding cells.
Related to this is #9072. Back in 0.2.4.14-alpha, we've removed that limit due
to a Guard discovery attack. Ticket #25226 details why we are putting back the
limit due to the memory pressure issue on relays.

This should help us improve modularity, and should also make it
easier for people to experiment with other relay crypto strategies
down the road.
This commit is pure function movement.
The reason to do so is because these functions haven't been used in years so
since 0.2.4, every callsite is NOP.
In future commits, we'll remove the round robin circuit policy which is mostly
validated within those function.
This simplifies the code greatly and remove dead code for which we never had a
configure option in the first place nor an easy way to use them in production.

We've been seeing problems with destroy cells queues taking up a
huge amount of RAM. We can mitigate this, since while a full packed
destroy cell takes 514 bytes, we only need 5 bytes to remember a
circuit ID and a reason.
Fixes bug 24666. Bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha, when destroy cell queues
were introduced.
Exposing cell_queues_get_total_allocation(), buf_get_total_allocation(),
tor_compress_get_total_allocation(), tor_compress_get_total_allocation() when
hit MaxMemInQueues threshold.

This commit was made mechanically by this perl script:
\#!/usr/bin/perl -w -i -p
next if /^#define FREE_AND_NULL/;
s/\bFREE_AND_NULL\((\w+),/FREE_AND_NULL\(${1}_t, ${1}_free_,/;
s/\bFREE_AND_NULL_UNMATCHED\(/FREE_AND_NULL\(/;
We add a compression level argument to tor_zlib_new, and use it to
determine how much memory to allocate for the zlib object. We use the
existing level by default, but shift to smaller levels for small
requests when we have been over 3/4 of our memory usage in the past
half-hour.
Closes ticket 11791.
Check for consistency between the queued destroy cells and the marked
circuit IDs. Check for consistency in the count of queued destroy
cells in several ways. Check to see whether any of the marked circuit
IDs have somehow been marked longer than the channel has existed.
Also, stop accepting the old kind of RESOLVED cells with no TTL
fields; they haven't been sent since 0.1.1.6-alpha.
This patch won't work without the fix to #10468 -- it will break
DNSPorts unless they set the proper ipv4/6 flags on entry_connection_t.
This contains the obvious implementation using the circuitmux data
structure. It also runs the old (slow) algorithm and compares
the results of the two to make sure that they're the same.
Needs review and testing.
This patch splits out some of the functions in OOM handling so that
it's easier to check them without involving the rest of Tor or
requiring that the circuits be "wired up".
We previously used FILENAME_PRIVATE identifiers mostly for
identifiers exposed only to the unit tests... but also for
identifiers exposed to the benchmarker, and sometimes for
identifiers exposed to a similar module, and occasionally for no
really good reason at all.
Now, we use FILENAME_PRIVATE identifiers for identifiers shared by
Tor and the unit tests. They should be defined static when we
aren't building the unit test, and globally visible otherwise. (The
STATIC macro will keep us honest here.)
For identifiers used only by the unit tests and never by Tor at all,
on the other hand, we wrap them in #ifdef TOR_UNIT_TESTS.
This is not the motivating use case for the split test/non-test
build system; it's just a test example to see how it works, and to
take a chance to clean up the code a little.
This implements "algorithm 1" from my discussion of bug #9072: on OOM,
find the circuits with the longest queues, and kill them. It's also a
fix for #9063 -- without the side-effects of bug #9072.
The memory bounds aren't perfect here, and you need to be sure to
allow some slack for the rest of Tor's usage.
This isn't a perfect fix; the rest of the solutions I describe on
codeable.
I added the code to pass a destroy cell to a queueing function rather
than writing it immediately, and the code to remember that we
shouldn't reuse the circuit id until the destroy is actually sent, and
the code to release the circuit id once the destroy has been sent...
and then I finished by hooking destroy_cell_queue into the rest of
Tor.
- Move cell_command_to_string from control.c to command.c.
- Use accessor for global_circuitlist instead of extern.
- Add a struct for cell statistics by command instead of six arrays.
- Split up control_event_circuit_cell_stats by using two helper functions.
- Add TestingEnableCellStatsEvent option.
- Prepare functions for testing.
- Rename a few variables and document a few things better.
