Mike O'DriscollandGitHub 6a709216b9 ipn/ipnlocal,wgengine/magicsock: re-report NetInfo to new control client (#20025)
magicsock de-duplicates NetInfo callbacks against c.netInfoLast, a cache
that lives on the long-lived magicsock.Conn. That cache survives a control
client swap (interactive login or profile switch), where only the control
client (and its own per-client NetInfo dedup) is replaced. As a result, the
first netcheck after the swap produces a structurally-identical NetInfo
(same PreferredDERP, same NAT shape), magicsock suppresses it as unchanged,
and the new control session never learns our home DERP. Peers can't reach
the node over DERP until some unrelated NetInfo field happens to change.

Add Conn.ResetNetInfoLast to clear the dedup cache, and call it from
LocalBackend.setControlClientLocked whenever a control client is installed,
so the next netcheck re-reports the current NetInfo to the new client.

netInfoLast is only a dedup/optimization cache (all readers nil-guard, and
it is recomputed by every netcheck), so clearing it can only add a delivery,
never lose or misroute one; it is scoped to control-client lifecycle events,
not steady-state operation.

Updates #17887
Fixes #20024

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.
