A second occurrence of read-timeout rearming was present in stream_sock.c.
To fix the problem, it was necessary to put the shutdown information in
the buffer (already planned).
The timeout functions were difficult to manipulate because they were
rounding results to the millisecond. Thus, it was difficult to compare
and to check what expired and what did not. Also, the comparison
functions were heavy with multiplies and divides by 1000. Now, all
timeouts are stored in timevals, reducing the number of operations
for updates and leading to cleaner and more efficient code.
Since the introduction of speculative I/O, it was not always possible
to correctly detect a connection establishment. Particularly, in TCP
mode, there is no data to send and getsockopt() returns no error. The
solution consists in trying a connect() again to get its diagnostic.
The rbtree-based wait queue consumes a lot of CPU. Use the ul2tree
instead. Lots of cleanups and code reorganizations made it possible
to reduce the task struct and simplify the code a bit.
The pollers will now be able to speculatively call the I/O
processing functions and decide whether or not they want to
poll on those FDs. The changes primarily consist in teaching
those functions how to pass the info they got an EAGAIN.
Generally, if a recv() returns less bytes than the MSS, it means that
there is nothing left in the system's buffers, and that it's not worth
trying to read again because we are very likely to get nothing. A
default read low limit has been set to 1460 bytes below which we stop
reading.
This has brought a little speed boost on small objects while maintaining
the same speed on large objects.
Multiple read polling was temporarily disabled, which had the side
effect of burning huge amounts of CPU on large objects. It has now
been re-implemented with a limit of 8 calls per wake-up, which seems
to provide best results at least on Linux.
Markus Elfring suggested adding a few checks which were missing
after a bunch of getsockopt() and 2 strdup(). While those are
unlikely to fail where they are used, it makes the code cleaner.
The timeouts, expiration timers and results are now stored in the buffers.
The timers will have to change a bit to become more flexible, and when the
I/O completion functions will be written, the connect_complete() will have
to be extracted from the write() function.
The files are now stored under :
- include/haproxy for the generic includes
- include/types.h for the structures needed within prototypes
- include/proto.h for function prototypes and inline functions
- src/*.c for the C files
Most include files are now covered by LGPL. A last move still needs
to be done to put inline functions under GPL and not LGPL.
Version has been set to 1.3.0 in the code but some control still
needs to be done before releasing.
