dns: default to verbatim=true in dns.lookup() #31567

bnoordhuis · 2020-01-29T12:16:57Z

Switch the default from false (reorder the result so that IPv4 addresses
come before IPv6 addresses) to true (return them exactly as the resolver
sent them to us.)

Fixes: #31566
Refs: #6307
Refs: #20710

Passes make test on my machine but something tells me the CI results won't be so pretty...

Looks like this causes a significant number of failures in CI...

bnoordhuis · 2020-02-01T10:09:42Z

Yep, I didn't expect anything less. I'll be working on fixing up the tests in the next few days.

@bnoordhuis, I'm the original reporter of #6307. I saw the recent activity there and wanted to say that I appreciate all the work that went into this and is still going into it. Thank you.

Ping. What is blocking this to be merged?

treysis · 2021-01-21T13:54:12Z

@telmich Maybe the CI does not support IPv6. but running the code with verbatim=true will make it try to connect to an IPv6 address, which of course fails?

richfelker · 2021-01-25T15:18:39Z

The fix to keep it verbatim might not even be enough for MUSL libc based systems, see libuv/libuv#2225.

I don't see any reason to believe that. The musl getaddrinfo (and any getaddrinfo implementation aiming to conform to RFC 3484) sorts results by routability preference, so the first result should always be routable if any of them are. There are still good reasons to perform the proper fallback sequence through the results (first server of multihomed site may be down) but basic functionality should be fixed as soon as node stops undoing the correct RFC 3484 sorting.

telmich · 2021-01-25T21:03:41Z

@richfelker Interesting. As far as I understood the musl getaddrinfo implementation orientates itself on https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/getaddrinfo.html.

So practically speaking, there are probably 2 fixes necessary:

Don't reorder by default -> let the resolver library do their job
For connect()-alike methods, try all results, not just the first one

Do I see this correctly?

richfelker · 2021-01-25T22:34:06Z

@telmich: Either (1) or (2) should solve the immediate problem. Both (1) and (2) should be done for independent reasons. (1) ensures you try the best results first, and (2) ensures that you don't spuriously fail from the first result being momentarily down or unreachable.

telmich · 2021-01-28T15:56:43Z

Is there anything that I can do to help merging this patch, @richfelker / @jasnell ?

aduh95 · 2021-03-09T18:50:18Z

Is there anything that I can do to help merging this patch?

I think the way forward is to open a new PR picking up the changes in this one, and try to solve the CI failures.

richfelker · 2021-03-09T19:46:15Z

What is wrong with the current PR? Why can't it just be merged?

ljharb · 2021-03-09T19:49:43Z

@richfelker tests are failing; merging it would cause tests to fail in master.

richfelker · 2021-03-09T20:07:27Z

Well is something wrong with this change, or are the failing tests just wrong/invalid? I don't know how to look at what the tests in question actually are, but from their names it sounds like maybe the problem is that they're being run in a misconfigured environment where getaddrinfo produces v6 results first but v6 is blocked or not functional.

aduh95 · 2021-03-09T21:17:57Z

Either way, for the tests to land on master we need to have a green CI. Help is needed to investigate why the tests are failing, and how to make them pass.

it sounds like maybe the problem is that they're being run in a misconfigured environment where getaddrinfo produces v6 results first but v6 is blocked or not functional.

If someone knows how to make this work, please send a PR. I believe our CI machine configuration files are located at nodejs/build.

treysis · 2021-03-09T21:22:14Z

And where are the log files?

aduh95 · 2021-03-09T21:34:20Z

Last CI run was back in January 2020, unfortunately the log files are gone. We would need to first resolve the git conflict to spawn a new CI job for this PR – and it seems the original author is not interested in working on it anymore. If someone is interested to open a new PR with these changes to solve the conflict, we could spawn a CI job and move forward with this.
