There's no more reason for keepin the code and definitions in conn_stream,
let's move all that to stconn. The alphabetical ordering of include files
was adjusted.
This file contains all the stream-connector functions that are specific
to application layers of type stream. So let's name it accordingly so
that it's easier to figure what's located there.
The alphabetical ordering of include files was preserved.
An equivalent applet_need_more_data() was added as well since that function
is mostly used from applet code. It makes it much clearer that the applet
is waiting for data from the stream layer.
The following flags are not at all related to the endpoint but to the
connector itself:
- SE_FL_RXBLK_ROOM
- SE_FL_RXBLK_BUFF
- SE_FL_RXBLK_CHAN
As such they have no business staying in the endpoint descriptor and
they must move to the stream connector. They've also been renamed
accordingly to better match what they correspond to (the same name
as the function that sets them).
The rare occurrences of cs_rx_blocked() were replaced by an explicit
test on the list of flags. The reason is that cs_rx_blocked() used to
preserve some tests that are not needed at certain places since already
known. For the same reason SE_FL_RXBLK_ANY wasn't converted. As such it
will later be possible to carefully review these few locations and
eliminate the unneeded flags from the tests. No particular function
was made to test them since they're explicit enough.
It now looks like ci_putchk() and friends could very well place the flag
themselves on the connector when they detect a buffer full condition, as
this would significantly simplify the high-level API. But all usages must
first be reviewed before this simplification can be done. For now it
remains done by applet_put*() instead.
The analysis of cs_rx_endp_more() showed that the purpose is for a stream
endpoint to inform the connector that it's ready to deliver more data to
that one, and conversely cs_rx_endp_done() that it's done delivering data
so it should not be bothered again for this.
This was modified two ways:
- the operation is no longer performed on the connector but on the
endpoint so that there is no more doubt when reading applet code
about what this rx refers to; it's the endpoint that has more or
no more data.
- an applet implementation is also provided and mostly used from
applet code since it saves the caller from having to access the
endpoint descriptor.
It's visible that the flag ought to be inverted because some places
have to set it by default for no reason.
These functions are used by the application layer to disable or enable
reading at the stream connector's level when the input buffer failed to
be allocated (or was finally allocated). The new names makes things
clearer.
The new name mor eclearly indicates that a stream connector cannot make
any more progress because it needs room in the channel buffer, or that
it may be unblocked because the buffer now has more room available. The
testing function is sc_waiting_room(). This is mostly used by applets.
Note that the flags will change soon.
sc_is_send_allowed() is now used everywhere instead of the combination
of cs_tx_endp_ready() && !cs_tx_blocked(). There's no place where we
need them individually thus it's simpler. The test was placed in cs_util
as we'll complete it later.
We're starting to propagate the stream connector's new name through the
API. Most call places of these functions that retrieve the channel or its
buffer are in applets. The local variable names are not changed in order
to keep the changes small and reviewable. There were ~92 uses of cs_ic(),
~96 of cs_oc() (due to co_get*() being less factorizable than ci_put*),
and ~5 accesses to the buffer itself.
For historical reasons (stream-interface and connections), we used to
require two independent fields for the application level callbacks and
the transport-level functions. Over time the distinction faded away so
much that the low-level functions became specific to the application
and conversely. For example, applets may only work with streams on top
since they rely on the channels, and the stream-level functions differ
between applets and connections. Right now the application level only
contains a wake() callback and the low-level ones contain the functions
that act at the lower level to perform the shutr/shutw and at the upper
level to notify about readability and writability. Let's just merge them
together into a single set and get rid of this confusing distinction.
Note that the check ops do not define any app-level function since these
are only called by streams.
This renames the "struct conn_stream" to "struct stconn" and updates
the descriptions in all comments (and the rare help descriptions) to
"stream connector" or "connector". This touches a lot of files but
the change is minimal. The local variables were not even renamed, so
there's still a lot of "cs" everywhere.
Now at least it makes it obvious that it's the stream endpoint descriptor
and not an endpoint. There were few changes thanks to the previous refactor
of the flags.
After some discussion we found that the cs_endpoint was precisely the
descriptor for a stream endpoint, hence the naturally coming name,
stream endpoint constructor.
This patch renames only the type everywhere and the new/init/free functions
to remain consistent with it. Future patches will address field names and
argument names in various code areas.
That's the "stream endpoint" pointer. Let's change it now while it's
not much spread. The function __cs_endp_target() wasn't yet renamed
because that will change more globally soon.
This changes all main uses of endp->flags to the se_fl_*() equivalent
by applying coccinelle script endp_flags.cocci. The se_fl_*() functions
themselves were manually excluded from the change, of course.
Note: 144 locations were touched, manually reviewed and found to be OK.
The script was applied with all includes:
spatch --in-place --recursive-includes -I include --sp-file $script $files
The appctx is already the endpoint target. It is confusing to also use it to
set the endpoint context. So, never set the endpoint ctx when an appctx is
created or attached to an existing conn-stream.
It is now possible to start an appctx on a thread subset. Some controls were
added here and there. It is forbidden to start a backend appctx on another
thread than the local one. If a frontend appctx is started on another thread
or a thread subset, the applet .init callback function must be defined. This
callback function is responsible to finalize the appctx startup. It can be
performed synchornously. In this case, the appctx is started on the local
thread. It is not really useful but it is valid. Or it can be performed
asynchronously. In this case, .init callback function is called when the
appctx is woken up for the first time. When this happens, the appctx
affinity is set to the current thread to be able to start the session and
the stream.
In the same way than for the tasks, the applets api was changed to be able
to start a new appctx on a thread subset. For now the feature is
disabled. Only appctx_new_here() is working. But it will be possible to
start an appctx on a specific thread or a subset via a mask.
appctx_free_on_early_error() must be used to release a freshly created
frontend appctx if an error occurred during the init stage. It takes care to
release the stream instead of the appctx if it exists. For a backend appctx,
it just calls appctx_free().
appctx_finalize_startup() may be used to finalize the frontend appctx
startup. It is responsible to create the appctx's session and the frontend
conn-stream. On error, it is the caller responsibility to release the
appctx. However, the session is released if it was created. On success, if
an error is encountered in the caller function, the stream must be released
instead of the appctx.
This function should ease the init stage when new appctx is created.
Applets were moved at the same level than multiplexers. Thus, gradually,
applets code is changed to be less dependent from the stream. With this
commit, the frontend appctx are ready to own the session. It means a
frontend appctx will be responsible to release the session.
This one is the pointer to the conn_stream which is always in the
endpoint that is always present in the appctx, thus it's not needed.
This patch removes it and replaces it with appctx_cs() instead. A
few occurences that were using __cs_strm(appctx->owner) were moved
directly to appctx_strm() which does the equivalent.
The former takes a conn_stream still attached to a valid appctx,
which also complicates the termination of the applet. Instead, let's
pass the appctx which already points to the endpoint, this allows us
to properly detach the conn_stream before the call, which is cleaner
and safer.
The few applets that set CS_EP_EOI or CS_EP_ERROR used to set it on the
endpoint retrieved from the conn_stream while it's already available on
the appctx itself. Better use the appctx one to limit the unneeded
interactions between the two sides.
Till now, appctx_new() used to allocate an entry from the pool and
pass it through appctx_init() to initialize a debatable part of it that
didn't correspond anymore to the comments, and fill other fields. It's
hard to say what is fully initialized and what is not.
Let's get rid of that, and always zero the initialization (appctx are
not that big anyway, even with the cache there's no difference in
performance), and initialize what remains. this is cleaner and more
resistant to new field additions.
The appctx_init() function was removed.
Instead of using existing fields and having to put keyword-specific
contexts in the applet definition, let's have the appctx provide a
generic storage area that's currently large enough for existing CLI
commands and small applets, and a function to allocate that storage.
The function will be responsible for verifying that the requested size
fits in the area so that the caller doesn't need to add specific checks;
it is validated during development as this size is static and will
not change at runtime. In addition the caller doesn't even need to
free() the area since it's part of an existing context. For the
caller's convenience, a context pointer "svcctx" for the command is
also provided so that the allocated area can be placed there (or
possibly any other one in case a larger area is needed).
The struct's layout has been temporarily complicated by adding one
level of anonymous union on top of the "ctx" one. This will allow us
to preserve "ctx" during 2.6 for compatibility with possible external
code and get rid of it in 2.7. This explains why the diff extends to
the whole "ctx" union, but a "git show -b" shows that only one extra
layer was added. In order to make both the svcctx pointer and its
storage accessible without further enlarging the appctx structure,
both svcctx and the storage share the same storage as the ctx part.
This is done by having them placed in the union with a protected
overlapping area for svcctx, for which a shadow member is also
present in the storage area:
union {
void* svcctx; // variable accessed by services
struct {
void *shadow; // shadow of svcctx;
char storage[]; // where most services store their data
};
union { // older commands store here and ignore svcctx
...
} ctx;
};
I.e. new applications will use appctx->svcctx while older ones will be
able to continue to use appctx->ctx.*
The whole area (including the pointer's context) is zeroed before any
applet is initialized, and before CLI keyword processor's first invocation,
as it is an important part of the existing keyword processors, which makes
CLI keywords effectively behave like applets.
Remaining flags and associated functions are move in the conn-stream
scope. These flags are added on the endpoint and not the conn-stream
itself. This way it will be possible to get them from the mux or the
applet. The functions to get or set these flags are renamed accordingly with
the "cs_" prefix and updated to manipualte a conn-stream instead of a
stream-interface.
data callbacks were only used for streams attached to a connection and
for health-checks. However there is a callback used by task_run_applet. So,
si_applet_wake_cb() is first renamed to cs_applet_process() and it is
defined as the data callback for streams attached to an applet. This way,
this part now manipulates a conn-stream instead of a stream-interface. In
addition, applets are no longer handled as an exception for this part.
At many places, we now use the new CS functions to get a stream or a channel
from a conn-stream instead of using the stream-interface API. It is the
first step to reduce the scope of the stream-interfaces. The main change
here is about the applet I/O callback functions. Before the refactoring, the
stream-interface was the appctx owner. Thus, it was heavily used. Now, as
far as possible,the conn-stream is used. Of course, it remains many calls to
the stream-interface API.
The conn-stream endpoint is now shared between the conn-stream and the
applet or the multiplexer. If the mux or the applet is created first, it is
responsible to also create the endpoint and share it with the conn-stream.
If the conn-stream is created first, it is the opposite.
When the endpoint is only owned by an applet or a mux, it is called an
orphan endpoint (there is no conn-stream). When it is only owned by a
conn-stream, it is called a detached endpoint (there is no mux/applet).
The last entity that owns an endpoint is responsible to release it. When a
mux or an applet is detached from a conn-stream, the conn-stream
relinquishes the endpoint to recreate a new one. This way, the endpoint
state is never lost for the mux or the applet.
Because appctx is now an endpoint of the conn-stream, there is no reason to
still have the stream-interface as appctx owner. Thus, the conn-stream is
now the appctx owner.
If an applet consumed output data (the amount of output data has changed
between before and after the call to the applet), the producer is
notified. It means CF_WRITE_PARTIAL and CF_WROTE_DATA are set on the output
channel and the opposite stream interface is notified some room was made in
its input buffer. This way, it is no longer the applet responsibility to
take care of it. However, it doesn't matter if the applet does the same.
Said like that, it looks like an improvement not a bug. But it really fixes
a bug in the lua, for HTTP applets. Indeed, applet:receive() and
applet:getline() are buggy for HTTP applets. Data are consumed but the
producer is not notified. It means if the payload is not fully received in
one time, the applet may be blocked because the producer remains blocked (it
is time dependent).
This patch must be backported as far as 2.0 (only for the HTX part).
The function's purpose used to be to fail a buffer allocation if that
allocation wouldn't result in leaving some buffers available. Thus,
some allocations could succeed and others fail for the sole purpose of
trying to provide 2 buffers at once to process_stream(). But things
have changed a lot with 1.7 breaking the promise that process_stream()
would always succeed with only two buffers, and later the thread-local
pool caches that keep certain buffers available that are not accounted
for in the global pool so that local allocators cannot guess anything
from the number of currently available pools.
Let's just replace all last uses of b_alloc_margin() with b_alloc() once
for all.
It's been too short for quite a while now and is now full. It's still
time to extend it to 32-bits since we have room for this without
wasting any space, so we now gained 16 new bits for future flags.
The values were not reassigned just in case there would be a few
hidden u16 or short somewhere in which these flags are placed (as
it used to be the case with stream->pending_events).
The patch is tagged MEDIUM because this required to update the task's
process() prototype to use an int instead of a short, that's quite a
bunch of places.
This patch fixes all the leftovers from the include cleanup campaign. There
were not that many (~400 entries in ~150 files) but it was definitely worth
doing it as it revealed a few duplicates.
This one was not easy because it was embarking many includes with it,
which other files would automatically find. At least global.h, arg.h
and tools.h were identified. 93 total locations were identified, 8
additional includes had to be added.
In the rare files where it was possible to finalize the sorting of
includes by adjusting only one or two extra lines, it was done. But
all files would need to be rechecked and cleaned up now.
It was the last set of files in types/ and proto/ and these directories
must not be reused anymore.
The type file was slightly tidied. The cli-specific APPCTX_CLI_ST1_* flag
definitions were moved to cli.h. The type file was adjusted to include
buf-t.h and not the huge buf.h. A few call places were fixed because they
did not need this include.
The TASK_IS_TASKLET() macro was moved to the proto file instead of the
type one. The proto part was a bit reordered to remove a number of ugly
forward declaration of static inline functions. About a tens of C and H
files had their dependency dropped since they were not using anything
from task.h.
Half of the users of this include only need the type definitions and
not the manipulation macros nor the inline functions. Moves the various
types into mini-clist-t.h makes the files cleaner. The other one had all
its includes grouped at the top. A few files continued to reference it
without using it and were cleaned.
In addition it was about time that we'd rename that file, it's not
"mini" anymore and contains a bit more than just circular lists.
All files that were including one of the following include files have
been updated to only include haproxy/api.h or haproxy/api-t.h once instead:
- common/config.h
- common/compat.h
- common/compiler.h
- common/defaults.h
- common/initcall.h
- common/tools.h
The choice is simple: if the file only requires type definitions, it includes
api-t.h, otherwise it includes the full api.h.
In addition, in these files, explicit includes for inttypes.h and limits.h
were dropped since these are now covered by api.h and api-t.h.
No other change was performed, given that this patch is large and
affects 201 files. At least one (tools.h) was already freestanding and
didn't get the new one added.
