Brad Fitzpatrick 18a95394df ipn/ipnlocal: shut down old control client before starting new one
LocalBackend.Start previously shut down the previous control client in
a goroutine, letting it run concurrently with the new one. An in-flight
lite map update carrying stale Hostinfo.RequestTags could then be
processed by the control plane after the new client had already changed
the node's tags. Control treats such a request as an invalid tag
transition and expires the node key to force a reauth, so retagging a
node with "tailscale up --advertise-tags" intermittently logged the
machine out.

Instead, detach the old client under b.mu and shut it down
synchronously with the lock released, before creating the new client.
Shutdown cancels the old client's in-flight requests and waits for its
goroutines to exit, so the cancellation of any stale update reaches the
server before the new client sends its first request. Per the deadlock
history in #18052, Shutdown must not be called with b.mu held; this
uses the same pattern as DisconnectControl.

Also teach the testcontrol server to model the control plane's tag
transition handling (including expiring the node key on an invalid
transition and ignoring updates from canceled requests), add an
integration test reproducing the race, and add an ipnlocal test
verifying that Start waits for the old client to shut down.

Updates #20365
Updates #18052

Tailscale

Private WireGuard® networks made easy

Overview

This repository contains the majority of Tailscale's open source code. Notably, it includes the tailscaled daemon and the tailscale CLI tool. The tailscaled daemon runs on Linux, Windows, macOS, and to varying degrees on FreeBSD and OpenBSD. The Tailscale iOS and Android apps use this repo's code, but this repo doesn't contain the mobile GUI code.

Other Tailscale repos of note:

For background on which parts of Tailscale are open source and why, see https://tailscale.com/opensource/.

Using

We serve packages for a variety of distros and platforms 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. The GUI wrappers on non-open source platforms are themselves not open source.

Building

We always require the latest Go release, currently Go 1.26. (While we build releases with our Go fork, its use is not required.)

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.

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.

We require Developer Certificate of Origin Signed-off-by lines in commits.

See commit-messages.md (or skim git log) for our commit message style.
