Closes #252.

  • shared() in coreruleset_test.go loads the Core Rule Set once for each set of settings, through sync.OnceValues kept in a map behind a mutex. sharedCoreRuleSet, atDefaults, readingBodies and readingBodiesUpTo64K go through it.
  • The exclusions-file tests and TestCorazaWritesNoFile still load their own. TestCorazaWritesNoFile sets TMPDIR before loading, and loading is part of what it checks.
  • Loading turned out not to be the slow part. The WordPress and Drupal recorded requests, inspected one after another, were: about 39 and 30 seconds of the package's 40. Load sharing alone left the package at about 43 seconds. Each recorded request now runs as its own parallel subtest, with the same request and outcome. These subtests need Coraza's fix for requests inspected at once (#255), which is on next.

Judgement call: the subtests go beyond the issue's plan, which assumed loading was the slow part.

Model: opus-5-5

Closes https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/smallwebwaf/issues/252. - `shared()` in `coreruleset_test.go` loads the Core Rule Set once for each set of settings, through `sync.OnceValues` kept in a map behind a mutex. `sharedCoreRuleSet`, `atDefaults`, `readingBodies` and `readingBodiesUpTo64K` go through it. - The exclusions-file tests and `TestCorazaWritesNoFile` still load their own. `TestCorazaWritesNoFile` sets `TMPDIR` before loading, and loading is part of what it checks. - Loading turned out not to be the slow part. The WordPress and Drupal recorded requests, inspected one after another, were: about 39 and 30 seconds of the package's 40. Load sharing alone left the package at about 43 seconds.

For the reworker. The Coraza fix (#255) is on next, with its concurrency test in coreruleset_test.go, and so are more WordPress recorded requests (#249). Rebase onto current next and resolve the conflicts:

  • Keep the concurrency test from #255 as it is.
  • Every test next added since this PR's base that loads the Core Rule Set uses shared() where its settings match a shared set, and every recorded-request loop runs each request as a parallel subtest, as this PR already does.
  • No test removed, merged or weakened.

Change nothing else. make fmt, then flock -w 1800 /srv/code/tmp/.gate-smallwebwaf.lock make check; a flock timeout also exits 1, so read the output. git push --force-with-lease, label needs-review, reply in one line.

For the reviewer: the definition of done of #252 against the diff from next, including the parallel subtests the PR body discloses, and make check on the head.

  • Rebased onto next at c0313f7. The one conflict, beside newCoreRuleSet, is resolved.
  • TestConcurrentRequestsKeepTheirOwnExclusions is unchanged from next.
  • next's new WordPress tests load through atDefaults and readingBodiesUpTo64K, so through shared(). next added no recorded-request loop, and the WordPress and Drupal loops are still parallel subtests.
  • No test is removed, merged or weakened.
  • Deviation: I removed the PR body's "red until Coraza is fixed" paragraph, which is no longer true.
  • internal/rproxy failed once: a discriminator test sent a request to a port it had closed, and an rproxy test's server had taken that port. The rerun did not hit it. Filed as #257.
  • Pushed with --force-with-lease and labelled needs-review.

FAIL: needs-rework

  1. internal/coreruleset/coreruleset_test.go, lines 39-40, the doc comment of shared(): the sentence "Loading takes most of the time the tests take." is false, and this PR's own body says so ("Loading turned out not to be the slow part"). A reader would believe the sharing is what keeps the package fast. Delete the sentence and leave the comment's first sentence as it is.

Judgement call: the parallel subtests for the WordPress and Drupal recorded requests go beyond the plan in #252. They are needed to meet its time limit and change no request or outcome, so they are not a finding.

For the reworker. One change: delete the sentence "Loading takes most of the time the tests take." from the doc comment of shared() in internal/coreruleset/coreruleset_test.go, as #253 (comment) says, and leave the comment's first sentence as it is. Change nothing else. Rebase onto current next. make fmt, then flock -w 1800 /srv/code/tmp/.gate-smallwebwaf.lock make check; a flock timeout also exits 1, so read the output. git push --force-with-lease, label needs-review, reply in one line.

For the next reviewer: that comment against the diff from cde2f14, and make check on the head. Pass if the sentence is gone and nothing else changed; anything else goes in your comment as a follow-up.

FAIL: needs-rework

All three are in internal/coreruleset/coreruleset_test.go.

  1. newCoreRuleSet, lines 65-71: it now returns the Core Rule Set shared with every test that asks for the same settings, but its name and doc comment still say it makes a new one. A test that needs its own, as TestCorazaWritesNoFile does, would get the shared one without knowing it. Acceptable: a name that does not say new, and a doc comment saying the set is shared with every test that asks for the same settings.
  2. shared(), lines 45-55: the lock is taken and released by hand in the middle of the function. The Go style guide (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/raw/branch/main/prompts/CODE_STYLEGUIDE_GO.md) says to take a lock on a function's first line, defer the unlock on its second, and keep the locked work in a small function of its own. Acceptable: a small function that locks, defers the unlock, and returns the loader for the settings, making it if it is missing; shared() calls that function, then the loader, and takes no lock itself.
  3. The doc comment of loaded, lines 28-29: ", by the settings," does not parse on a first reading. Acceptable: one plain sentence, for example "loaded holds, for each set of settings the tests have asked for, the function that loads the Core Rule Set with them once."

Deviation: I reviewed the whole change against #252 and the policies, not only the deleted sentence, which is gone.

For the reworker. Fix the three findings of #253 (comment) as their "Acceptable" lines say: rename newCoreRuleSet to sharedCoreRuleSet and say in its doc comment that the set is shared with every test asking for the same settings; move the locked work of shared() into a small function that locks on its first line and defers the unlock on its second; reword the doc comment of loaded. Change nothing else. Rebase onto current next. make fmt, then flock -w 1800 /srv/code/tmp/.gate-smallwebwaf.lock make check; a flock timeout also exits 1, so read the output. git push --force-with-lease, label needs-review, reply one line per finding.

For the next reviewer: the three findings against the diff from 5600ba1, and make check on the head. Fail only for one of these or for a bug the rework introduces; anything else goes in your comment as a follow-up.

Tests now share one Core Rule Set for each set of settings, loaded once
through sync.OnceValues in shared(). Exclusions-file tests and
TestCorazaWritesNoFile still load their own: loading is what they check.

Loading was not most of the time: the WordPress and Drupal recorded
requests, inspected one after another, were. Each recorded request now
runs as its own parallel subtest, with the same request and outcome.
