2026-01-26ipn/localapi: stop logging "broken pipe" errors (#18487)Amal Bansode3-0/+76
The Tailscale CLI has some methods to watch the IPN bus for messages, say, the current netmap (`tailscale debug netmap`). The Tailscale daemon supports this using a streaming HTTP response. Sometimes, the client can close its connection abruptly -- due to an interruption, or in the case of `debug netmap`, intentionally after consuming one message. If the server daemon is writing a response as the client closes its end of the socket, the daemon typically encounters a "broken pipe" error. The "Watch IPN Bus" handler currently logs such errors after they're propagated by a JSON encoding/writer helper. Since the Tailscale CLI nominally closes its socket with the daemon in this slightly ungraceful way (viz. `debug netmap`), stop logging these broken pipe errors as far as possible. This will help avoid confounding users when they scan backend logs. Updates #18477 Signed-off-by: Amal Bansode <amal@tailscale.com>
2026-01-23all: remove AUTHORS file and references to itWill Norris4-4/+4
This file was never truly necessary and has never actually been used in the history of Tailscale's open source releases. A Brief History of AUTHORS files --- The AUTHORS file was a pattern developed at Google, originally for Chromium, then adopted by Go and a bunch of other projects. The problem was that Chromium originally had a copyright line only recognizing Google as the copyright holder. Because Google (and most open source projects) do not require copyright assignemnt for contributions, each contributor maintains their copyright. Some large corporate contributors then tried to add their own name to the copyright line in the LICENSE file or in file headers. This quickly becomes unwieldy, and puts a tremendous burden on anyone building on top of Chromium, since the license requires that they keep all copyright lines intact. The compromise was to create an AUTHORS file that would list all of the copyright holders. The LICENSE file and source file headers would then include that list by reference, listing the copyright holder as "The Chromium Authors". This also become cumbersome to simply keep the file up to date with a high rate of new contributors. Plus it's not always obvious who the copyright holder is. Sometimes it is the individual making the contribution, but many times it may be their employer. There is no way for the proejct maintainer to know. Eventually, Google changed their policy to no longer recommend trying to keep the AUTHORS file up to date proactively, and instead to only add to it when requested: https://opensource.google/docs/releasing/authors. They are also clear that: > Adding contributors to the AUTHORS file is entirely within the > project's discretion and has no implications for copyright ownership. It was primarily added to appease a small number of large contributors that insisted that they be recognized as copyright holders (which was entirely their right to do). But it's not truly necessary, and not even the most accurate way of identifying contributors and/or copyright holders. In practice, we've never added anyone to our AUTHORS file. It only lists Tailscale, so it's not really serving any purpose. It also causes confusion because Tailscalars put the "Tailscale Inc & AUTHORS" header in other open source repos which don't actually have an AUTHORS file, so it's ambiguous what that means. Instead, we just acknowledge that the contributors to Tailscale (whoever they are) are copyright holders for their individual contributions. We also have the benefit of using the DCO (developercertificate.org) which provides some additional certification of their right to make the contribution. The source file changes were purely mechanical with: git ls-files | xargs sed -i -e 's/\(Tailscale Inc &\) AUTHORS/\1 contributors/g' Updates #cleanup Change-Id: Ia101a4a3005adb9118051b3416f5a64a4a45987d Signed-off-by: Will Norris <will@tailscale.com>
2023-04-04net/neterror, wgengine/magicsock: use UDP GSO and GRO on Linux (#7791)Jordan Whited2-0/+49
This commit implements UDP offloading for Linux. GSO size is passed to and from the kernel via socket control messages. Support is probed at runtime. UDP GSO is dependent on checksum offload support on the egress netdev. UDP GSO will be disabled in the event sendmmsg() returns EIO, which is a strong signal that the egress netdev does not support checksum offload.

2023-01-27all: update copyright and license headersWill Norris3-9/+6
This updates all source files to use a new standard header for copyright and license declaration. Notably, copyright no longer includes a date, and we now use the standard SPDX-License-Identifier header. This commit was done almost entirely mechanically with perl, and then some minimal manual fixes. Updates #6865 Signed-off-by: Will Norris <will@tailscale.com>
2022-01-03net/{neterror,dns/resolver}: move PacketWasTruncated to neterror from DNS codeBrad Fitzpatrick2-0/+35
And delete the unused code in net/dns/resolver/neterr_*.go. Change-Id: Ibe62c486bacce2733eb9968c96a98cbbdb2758bd Signed-off-by: Brad Fitzpatrick <bradfitz@tailscale.com>
2021-12-31netcheck,portmapper,magicsock: ignore some UDP write errors on LinuxBrad Fitzpatrick2-0/+97
Treat UDP send EPERM errors as a lost UDP packet, not something super fatal. That's just the Linux firewall preventing it from going out. And add a leaf package net/neterror for that (and future) policy that all three packages can share, with tests.
