Subject: [bug#41363] knot-resolver: Enable reloading of policy files (add lua-cqueues)
Date: Sun, 17 May 2020 10:46:05 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <878shqtyaa.fsf@mercury.simonsouth.net> (raw)
This patch series enables the automatic reloading of response-policy
zone (RPZ) files by Knot Resolver. Specifically these patches
- Add package definitions for the cqueues Lua extension module and the
luaossl module on which it relies, and
- Add lua5.1-cqueues as an input to knot-resolver.
With these changes applied, Knot Resolver can be configured with lines
like
modules = { 'policy' }
policy.add(policy.rpz(policy.DENY, '/etc/dns/blacklist.txt', true))
and it will automatically reload RPZ rules from /etc/dns/blacklist.txt
whenever that file changes. This makes it easy to use Knot Resolver to
block unwanted sites using a list of domains downloaded periodically
from the Internet.
I've tested these changes on x86-64 and aarch64. On x86-64 everything
works as expected.
On aarch64, the packages build and install fine but Knot Resolver fails
to load the configuration above with
policy.lua:430: [poli] lua-cqueues required to watch and reload RPZ file
This is due to a known issue with LuaJIT on aarch64 (see e.g.
https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/pull/230):
$ ./pre-inst-env guix environment knot-resolver --ad-hoc knot-resolver
$ $(head -n 3 `which kresd` | tail -n 2) # set LUA_PATH, LUA_CPATH
$ luajit -e 'require("cqueues")'
luajit: bad light userdata pointer
stack traceback:
[C]: at 0xffffa556a960
[C]: in function 'require'
...
$
Otherwise (i.e. after changing "true" to "false" in the configuration
above) Knot Resolver continues to work as it did before, so I expect
existing users will not be affected.
I'll work on diagnosing the upstream bug but thought I'd submit these
patches in the meantime.
