Brad Fitzpatrick a6390ca008 ssh/tailssh: fix data race on conn auth state in OnPolicyChange
OnPolicyChange can observe a conn in activeConns before authentication
completes. The previous `c.info == nil` guard was itself a data race
against clientAuth writing c.info, and even when c.info appeared
non-nil, c.localUser could still be nil, causing a nil pointer
dereference at c.localUser.Username.

Add an authCompleted atomic.Bool to conn, stored true after all auth
fields are written in clientAuth. OnPolicyChange checks this atomic
instead of c.info, which provides the memory barrier guaranteeing all
prior writes are visible to the concurrent reader.

Updates tailscale/corp#36268 (fixes, but we might want to cherry-pick)

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 1.25. (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.
