ChugR opened a new pull request #694: DISPATCH-975: Enforce max message size on 
message ingress
URL: https://github.com/apache/qpid-dispatch/pull/694
 
 
   This commit has an updated implementation for further review.
   
   Notes:
   
   MaxMessageSize may be specified globally, per vhost, or per vhost user
   group. The global setting applies to all vhosts for which maxMessageSize
   is unspecified. The vhost setting applies to all vhost user groups for
   which maxMessageSize is unspecified. The vhost user group setting
   overrides all other settings. A maxMessageSize setting of zero disables
   maxMessageSize enforcement.
   
   Links over which maxMessageSize is being enforced will advertise the
   size in the _max-message-size_ field of the Attach
   frame. Qpid-dispatch ignores the _max-message-size_ field received in
   incoming Attach frames.
   
   Message size for maxMessageSize purposes is calculated to be the
   number of AMQP octets in the Annotated Message. This includes the
   header, delivery-annotations, message-annotations, properties,
   application-properties, application-data, and footer
   sections. Administrators and users must be aware that a "message"
   consisting a single character string (the application-data) will be
   much larger over the wire after properties and annotations have been
   inserted.
   
   Max message size is enforced on message/transfer ingress only. Once a
   message has entered the router network it is free to go to any
   destination.
   
   When a message exceeds max size then:
   
    * Disposition of _rejected_ is returned to the sender for that delivery.
    * Ingress link to qpid-dispatch is closed with an error.
    * Copies of the message being delivered through the router network are 
aborted.
   
   In message.c oversize messages are detected and then handled as
   oversize, discarded, and aborted.
   
   In router_node.c oversize messages are logged, links are closed, and
   downstream deliveries are disconnected.
   
   ToDo:
   
   Fix issues in DISPATCH-1581 where policy settings and counters are
   _int_ and not _uint64_. That will be a separate work stream.
   
   Fix all resource leaks. Certain patterns of client activity leak
   qd_message, qd_link, and qd_disposition resources. Sometimes. More
   testing required.
   
   Characterize some issues that AMQP clients suffer when oversize
   messages are denied. Clients fail in mysterious ways and some hints on
   what is happening and what to do about it will speed client
   development.
   
   Improve single-router test to cover multiple routers.
