Scanning log lines is a frequent source of allocations. Pre-allocate a re-usable buffer. This still doesn't help when there are giant log lines. Those will still be problematic from an iOS memory perspective. For more on that, see https://github.com/tailscale/corp/issues/2423. (For those who cannot follow that link, it is a discussion of particular problematic types of log lines for particular categories of customers. The "categories of customers" part is the reason that it is a private issue.) There is also a latent bug here. If we ever encounter a log line longer than bufio.MaxScanTokenSize, then bufio.Scan will return an error, and we'll truncate the file and discard the rest of the log. That's not good, but bufio.MaxScanTokenSize is really big, so it probably doesn't matter much in practice now. Unfortunately, it does prevent us from easily capping the potential memory usage here, on pain of losing log entries. Signed-off-by: Josh Bleecher Snyder <josh@tailscale.com>
Tailscale
Private WireGuard® networks made easy
Overview
This repository contains all the open source Tailscale client code and
the tailscaled
daemon and tailscale
CLI tool. The tailscaled
daemon runs primarily on Linux; it also works to varying degrees on
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin, and Windows.
The Android app is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-android
Using
We serve packages for a variety of distros at https://pkgs.tailscale.com .
Other clients
The macOS, iOS, and Windows clients use the code in this repository but additionally include small GUI wrappers that are not open source.
Building
go install tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale{,d}
If you're packaging Tailscale for distribution, use build_dist.sh
instead, to burn commit IDs and version info into the binaries:
./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale
./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscaled
If your distro has conventions that preclude the use of
build_dist.sh
, please do the equivalent of what it does in your
distro's way, so that bug reports contain useful version information.
We only guarantee to support the latest Go release and any Go beta or release candidate builds (currently Go 1.16) in module mode. It might work in earlier Go versions or in GOPATH mode, but we're making no effort to keep those working.
Bugs
Please file any issues about this code or the hosted service on the issue tracker.
Contributing
PRs welcome! But please file bugs. Commit messages should reference bugs.
