SSL's Buffers: enumerated and explained. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- incoming: gs = ss->gather hs = ss->ssl3->hs gs->inbuf SSL3 only: incoming (encrypted) ssl records are placed here, and then decrypted (or copied) to gs->buf. gs->buf SSL2: incoming SSL records are put here, and then decrypted in place. SSL3: ssl3_HandleHandshake puts decrypted ssl records here. hs.msg_body (SSL3 only) When an incoming handshake message spans more than one ssl record, the first part(s) of it are accumulated here until it all arrives. hs.msgState (SSL3 only) an alternative set of pointers/lengths for gs->buf. Used only when a handleHandshake function returns SECWouldBlock. ssl3_HandleHandshake remembers how far it previously got by using these pointers instead of gs->buf when it is called after a previous SECWouldBlock return. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- outgoing: sec = ss->sec ci = ss->sec->ci /* connect info */ ci->sendBuf Outgoing handshake messages are appended to this buffer. This buffer will then be sent as a single SSL record. sec->writeBuf outgoing ssl records are constructed here and encrypted in place before being written or copied to pendingBuf. ss->pendingBuf contains outgoing ciphertext that was saved after a write attempt to the socket failed, e.g. EWouldBlock. Generally empty with blocking sockets (should be no incomplete writes). ss->saveBuf Used only by socks code. Intended to be used to buffer outgoing data until a socks handshake completes. However, this buffer is always empty. There is no code to put anything into it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECWouldBlock means that the function cannot make progress because it is waiting for some event OTHER THAN socket I/O completion (e.g. waiting for user dialog to finish). It is not the same as EWOULDBLOCK. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rank (order) of locks recvLock ->\ firstHandshake -> recvbuf -> ssl3Handshake -> xmitbuf -> "spec" sendLock ->/ crypto and hash Data that must be protected while turning plaintext into ciphertext: SSL2: (in ssl2_Send*) sec->hash* sec->hashcx (ptr and data) sec->enc sec->writecx* (ptr and content) sec->sendSecret*(ptr and content) sec->sendSequence locked by xmitBufLock sec->blockSize sec->writeBuf* (ptr & content) locked by xmitBufLock "in" locked by xmitBufLock SSl3: (in ssl3_SendPlainText) ss->ssl3 (the pointer) ss->ssl3->current_write* (the pointer and the data in the spec and any data referenced by the spec. ss->sec->isServer ss->sec->writebuf* (ptr & content) locked by xmitBufLock "buf" locked by xmitBufLock crypto and hash data that must be protected while turning ciphertext into plaintext: SSL2: (in ssl2_GatherData) gs->* (locked by recvBufLock ) sec->dec sec->readcx sec->hash* (ptr and data) sec->hashcx (ptr and data) SSL3: (in ssl3_HandleRecord ) ssl3->current_read* (the pointer and all data refernced) ss->sec->isServer Data that must be protected while being used by a "writer": ss->pendingBuf.* ss->saveBuf.* (which is dead) in ssl3_sendPlainText ss->ssl3->current_write-> (spec) ss->sec->writeBuf.* ss->sec->isServer in SendBlock ss->sec->hash->length ss->sec->blockSize ss->sec->writeBuf.* ss->sec->sendSecret ss->sec->sendSequence ss->sec->writecx * ss->pendingBuf -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Data variables (not const) protected by the "sslGlobalDataLock".
