Worker API reference

Functions

int worker_init(struct engine *engine, int worker_count)

Create and initialize the worker.

Returns:

error code (ENOMEM)

void worker_deinit(void)

Destroy the worker (free memory).

int worker_submit(struct session *session, struct io_comm_data *comm, const uint8_t *eth_from, const uint8_t *eth_to, knot_pkt_t *pkt)

Process an incoming packet (query from a client or answer from upstream).

Parameters:
  • session – session the packet came from, or NULL (not from network)

  • comm – IO communication data (see struct io_comm_data docs)

  • eth_* – MAC addresses or NULL (they’re useful for XDP)

  • pkt – the packet, or NULL (an error from the transport layer)

Returns:

0 or an error code

int worker_end_tcp(struct session *session)

End current DNS/TCP session, this disassociates pending tasks from this session which may be freely closed afterwards.

knot_pkt_t *worker_resolve_mk_pkt_dname(knot_dname_t *qname, uint16_t qtype, uint16_t qclass, const struct kr_qflags *options)
knot_pkt_t *worker_resolve_mk_pkt(const char *qname_str, uint16_t qtype, uint16_t qclass, const struct kr_qflags *options)

Create a packet suitable for worker_resolve_start().

All in malloc() memory.

struct qr_task *worker_resolve_start(knot_pkt_t *query, struct kr_qflags options)

Start query resolution with given query.

Returns:

task or NULL

int worker_resolve_exec(struct qr_task *task, knot_pkt_t *query)
struct kr_request *worker_task_request(struct qr_task *task)
Returns:

struct kr_request associated with opaque task

int worker_task_step(struct qr_task *task, const struct sockaddr *packet_source, knot_pkt_t *packet)
int worker_task_numrefs(const struct qr_task *task)
int worker_task_finalize(struct qr_task *task, int state)

Finalize given task.

void worker_task_complete(struct qr_task *task)
void worker_task_ref(struct qr_task *task)
void worker_task_unref(struct qr_task *task)
void worker_task_timeout_inc(struct qr_task *task)
int worker_add_tcp_connected(struct worker_ctx *worker, const struct sockaddr *addr, struct session *session)
int worker_del_tcp_connected(struct worker_ctx *worker, const struct sockaddr *addr)
int worker_del_tcp_waiting(struct worker_ctx *worker, const struct sockaddr *addr)
struct session *worker_find_tcp_waiting(struct worker_ctx *worker, const struct sockaddr *addr)
struct session *worker_find_tcp_connected(struct worker_ctx *worker, const struct sockaddr *addr)
knot_pkt_t *worker_task_get_pktbuf(const struct qr_task *task)
struct request_ctx *worker_task_get_request(struct qr_task *task)
struct kr_transport *worker_task_get_transport(struct qr_task *task)
struct session *worker_request_get_source_session(const struct kr_request *req)

Note: source session is NULL in case the request hasn’t come over network.

uint16_t worker_task_pkt_get_msgid(struct qr_task *task)
void worker_task_pkt_set_msgid(struct qr_task *task, uint16_t msgid)
uint64_t worker_task_creation_time(struct qr_task *task)
void worker_task_subreq_finalize(struct qr_task *task)
bool worker_task_finished(struct qr_task *task)
int qr_task_on_send(struct qr_task *task, const uv_handle_t *handle, int status)

To be called after sending a DNS message.

It mainly deals with cleanups.

Variables
