Complete qc_send function. After having processed each qcs emission, it
will now retry send on qcs where transfer can continue. This is useful
when qc_stream_desc buffer is full and there is still data present in
qcs buf.
To implement this, each eligible qcs is inserted in a new list
<qcc.send_retry_list>. This is done on send notification from the
transport layer through qcc_streams_sent_done(). Retry emission until
send_retry_list is empty or the transport layer cannot proceed more
data.
Several send operations are now called on two different places. Thus a
new _qc_send_qcs() function is defined to factorize the code.
This change should maximize the throughput during QUIC transfers.
MUX streams can now allocate multiple buffers for sending. quic-conn is
responsible to limit the total count of allowed allocated buffers. A
counter is stored in the new field <stream_buf_count>.
For the moment, the value is hardcoded to 30.
On stream buffer allocation failure, the qcc MUX is flagged with
QC_CF_CONN_FULL. The MUX is then woken up as soon as a buffer is freed,
most notably on ACK reception.
Acknowledge of STREAM has been complexified with the introduction of
stream multi buffers. Two functions are executing roughly the same set
of instructions in xprt_quic.c.
To simplify this, move the code complexity in a new function
qc_stream_desc_ack(). It will handle offset calculation, removal of
data, freeing oldest buffer and freeing stream instance if required.
The qc_stream_desc API is cleaner as qc_stream_desc_free_buf() ambiguous
function has been removed.
Complete the qc_stream_desc type to support multiple buffers on
emission. The main objective is to increase the transfer throughput.
The MUX is now able to transfer more data without having to wait ACKs.
To implement this feature, a new type qc_stream_buf is declared. it
encapsulates a buffer with a list element. New functions are defined to
retrieve the current buffer, release it or allocate a new one. Each
buffer is kept in the qc_stream_desc list until all of its data is
acknowledged.
On the MUX side, a qcs uses the current stream buffer to transfer data.
Once the buffer is full, it is released and a new one will be allocated
on a future qc_send() invocation.
Add a new member <qc> in qc_stream_desc structure. This change is
possible since previous patch which add quic-conn argument to
qc_stream_desc_new().
The purpose of this change is to simplify the future evolution of
qc-stream-desc API. This will avoid to repeat qc as argument in various
functions which already used a qc_stream_desc.
Simplify the model qcs/qc_stream_desc. Each types has now its own tree
node, stored respectively in qcc and quic-conn trees. It is still
necessary to mark the stream as detached by the MUX once all data is
transfered to the lower layer.
This might improve slightly the performance on ACK management as now
only the lookup in quic-conn is necessary. On the other hand, memory
size of qcs structure is increased.
Regroup all type definitions and functions related to qc_stream_desc in
the source file src/quic_stream.c.
qc_stream_desc complexity will be increased with the development of Tx
multi-buffers. Having a dedicated module is useful to mix it with
pure transport/quic-conn code.
