Brad Fitzpatrick 1c778640ea net/netmon, ipn/ipnlocal, wgengine: don't lose a network change during startup
If the network comes up during the few milliseconds NewLocalBackend
takes, tailscaled starts with its control client paused and never
unpauses: the interface state snapshot was taken before the netmon
subscription (kept late since #17252), so a change published in between
reached nobody. #21261 hit it on fast-booting NixOS microVMs, and it was
behind the natlab TestEasyEasy CI flake, where a gokrazy node's DHCP
lease landed in that window and "tailscale up" hung at "awaiting
unpause".

Re-read netmon's state after subscribing rather than subscribing before
the snapshot (as #21281 proposed), which would bring back the #17252
data race and let a fresh delta be overwritten by the stale snapshot.
netmon.New and the userspace engine had the same shape of gap between
their snapshot and their subscription; close those too.

Under CPU pressure the hang reproduced in 1 of 22 TestEasyEasy runs
before and 0 of 120 after.

Thanks to @c-vigo for the detailed diagnosis in #21261 and to @zzz-yu
for pointing out this problem and proposing a fix in #21281!

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 1.27. (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.
