This function is used by the data layer when a zero has been read over a
connection. At the moment it only handles sockets and nothing else. Once
the complete split is done between buffers and stream interfaces, it should
become possible to work regardless on the connection type.
The connection send() callback is supposed to be generic for a
stream-interface, and consists in calling the lower layer snd_buf
function. Move this function to the stream interface and remove
the sock-raw and sock-ssl clones.
This callback is used to send data from the buffer to the socket. It is
the old write_loop() call of the data layer which is used both by the
->write() callback and the ->chk_snd() function. The reason for having
it as a pointer is that it's the only remaining part which causes the
write and chk_snd() functions to be different between raw and ssl.
sock_raw and sock_ssl use a pretty generic chk_rcv function, so let's move
this function to the stream_interface and remove specific functions. Later
we might have a single chk_rcv function.
We need to have a generic function to be called by upper layers when buffer
flags have been updated (the si->update function). At the moment, both sock_raw
and sock_ssl had their own which basically was a copy-paste. Since these
functions are only used to update stream interface flags, it is logical to
have them handled by the stream interface code.
This allowed us to remove the stream_interface-specific update function from
sock_raw and sock_ssl which now use the generic code.
The stream_sock_update_conn callback has also been more appropriately renamed
conn_notify_si() since it's meant to be called by lower layers to notify the
SI and possibly upper layers about incoming changes.
This is a second attempt at getting rid of FD_WAIT_*. Now the situation is
much better since native I/O handlers can directly manipulate the FD using
fd_{poll|want|stop}_* and the connection handlers manipulate connection-level
flags using the conn_{data|sock}_* equivalent.
Proceeding this way ensures that the connection flags always reflect the
reality even after data<->handshake switches.
Now the connection handler, the handshake callbacks and the I/O callbacks
make use of the connection-layer polling functions to enable or disable
polling on a file descriptor.
Some changes still need to be done to avoid using the FD_WAIT_* constants.
The conflicts we're facing with polling is that handshake handlers have
precedence over data handlers and may change the polling requirements
regardless of what is expected by the data layer. This causes issues
such as missed events.
The real need is to have three polling levels :
- the "current" one, which is effective at any moment
- the data one, which reflects what the data layer asks for
- the sock one, which reflects what the socket layer asks for
Depending on whether a handshake is in progress or not, either one of the
last two will replace the current one, and the change will be propagated
to the lower layers.
At the moment, the shutdown status is not considered, and only handshakes
are used to decide which layer to chose. This will probably change.
The old EV_FD_SET() macro was confusing, as it would enable receipt but there
was no way to indicate that EAGAIN was received, hence the recently added
FD_WAIT_* flags. They're not enough as we're still facing a conflict between
EV_FD_* and FD_WAIT_*. So let's offer I/O functions what they need to explicitly
request polling.
These functions have a more explicity meaning and will offer provisions
for explicit polling.
EV_FD_ISSET() has been left for now as it is still in use in checks.
Up to now, we had to use a shutr/shutw interface per data layer, which
basically means 3 distinct functions when we include SSL :
- generic stream_interface
- sock_raw
- sock_ssl
With this change, the code located in the stream_interface manages all the
stream_interface and buffer updates, and calls the data layer hooks when
needed.
At the moment, the socket layer hook had been implicitly considered as
being a regular socket, so the si_shut*() functions call the normal
shutdown() and EV_FD_CLR() functions on the fd if a socket layer is
defined. This may change in the future. The stream_int_shut*()
functions don't call EV_FD_CLR() so that they can later be embedded
in lower layers.
Thus, the si->data->shutr() is not called anymore and si->data->shutw()
is called to close the data layer only (eg: only for SSL).
Proceeding like this is very important because it's the only way to be
able not to rely on these functions when called from the connection
handlers, and call the data layers' instead.
This one is supposed to be called by the lower layer upon receiving a shutr
notification, which is different from the call performed by the upper layer.
Specifically, this function will ultimately not call EV_FD_* but will just
manipulate event flags instead. The function also does not call shutw anymore
and instead performs the necessary work.
Splitting it into si-specific part and data-specific parts will not be easy.
These primitives were initially introduced so that callers were able to
conditionally set/disable polling on a file descriptor and check in return
what the state was. It's been long since we last had an "if" on this, and
all pollers' functions were the same for cond_* and their systematic
counter parts, except that this required a check and a specific return
value that are not always necessary.
So let's simplify the FD API by removing this now unused distinction and
by making all specific functions return void.
Handshakes is not called anymore from the data handlers, they're only
called from the connection handler when their flag is set.
Also, this move has uncovered an issue with the stream interface notifier :
it doesn't consider the FD_WAIT_* flags possibly set by the handshake
handlers. This will result in a stuck handshake when no data is in the
output buffer. In order to cover this, for now we'll perform the EV_FD_SET
in the SSL handshake function, but this needs to be addressed separately
from the stream interface operations.
This new flag is used to indicate that the connection was already
connected. It can be used by I/O handlers to know that a connection
has just completed. It is used by stream_sock_update_conn(), allowing
the sock_opt handlers not to manipulate the SI timeout nor the
BF_WRITE_NULL flag anymore.
It's better to have only stream_sock_update_conn() handle the conversion
of the CO_FL_ERROR flag to SI_FL_ERR than having it in each and every I/O
callback.
The sock_ops I/O callbacks made use of an FD till now. This has become
inappropriate and the struct connection is much more useful. It also
fixes the race condition introduced by previous change.
The socket data layer code must only focus on moving data between a
socket and a buffer. We need a special stream interface handler to
update the stream interface and the file descriptor status.
At the moment the code works but suffers from a race condition caused
by its API : the read/write callbacks still make use of the fd instead
of using the connection. And when a double shutdown is performed, a call
to ->write() after ->read() processed an error results in dereferencing
a NULL fdtab[]->owner. This is only a temporary issue which doesn't need
to be fixed now since this will automatically go away when the functions
change to use the connection instead.
Use a single tcp_connect_probe() instead of tcp_connect_write() and
tcp_connect_read(). We call this one only when no data layer function
have been processed, so this is a fallback to test for completion of
a connection attempt.
With this done, we don't have the need for any direct I/O callback
anymore.
The function still relies on ->write() to wake the stream interface up,
so it's not finished.
This handshake handler must be independant, so move it away from
proto_tcp. It has a dedicated connection flag. It is tested before
I/O handlers and automatically removes the CO_FL_WAIT_L4_CONN flag
upon success.
It also sets the BF_WRITE_NULL flag on the stream interface and
stops the SI timeout. However it does not perform the task_wakeup(),
and relies on the data handler to do so for now. The SI wakeup will
have to be moved elsewhere anyway.
It's inappropriate to remove FD_POLL_IN and FD_POLL_OUT in the IO callback
handlers, first because they shouldn't care about this, and second because
it will make it harder to chain multiple callers.
So let's flush these flags only once for all in the connection handler.
Right now, the HUP and ERR flags are still flushed in each IO handler to
avoid multiple calls. This will probably have to be fixed later.
fdtab[].state was only used to know whether a connection was in progress
or an error was encountered. Instead we now use connection->flags to store
a flag for both. This way, connection management will be able to update the
connection status on I/O.
This test is present only in this poller as an optimization, but this
optimization adds some complexity to remove fdtab[].state. Let's get
rid of it for now.
In an attempt to get rid of fdtab[].state, and to move the relevant
parts to the connection struct, we remove the FD_STCLOSE state which
can easily be deduced from the <owner> pointer as there is a 1:1 match.
The correct spelling is "independent", not "independant". This patch
fixes the doc and the configuration parser to accept the correct form.
The config parser still allows the old naming for backwards compatibility.
I came across a couple of typos in configuration.txt and made this patch.
Also, there is an inconsistency between using the word analys/ze in
configuration.txt as well. However, I did not provide a patch for that.

This is used to enter values for stick tables. The most likely usage
is to set gpc0 for a specific IP address in order to block traffic
for abusers without having to reload. Since all data types are
supported, other usages are possible (eg: replace a users's assigned
server).
Right now we only support show/clear on a table. In order to introduce
the "set" keyword we need to get rid of the "show" boolean arg. There
is no functional change up to this commit.
Source addresses of non-TCP families were not correctly handled by
tcp_src_to_stktable_key() as it forgot to return NULL and instead left
the previous value in the stick-table buffer.
This bug is 1.5-specific and was introduced by commit 4f92d320 in 1.5-dev6
so it does not need any backport.
fdtab[].ev was only set in ev_sepoll. Unfortunately, some I/O handling
functions now rely on this, so depending on the polling mechanism, some
useless operations might have been performed, such as performing a useless
recv() when a HUP was reported.
This is a very old issue, the flags were only added to the fdtab and not
propagated into any poller. Then they were used in ev_sepoll which needed
them for the cache. It is unsure whether a backport to 1.4 is appropriate
or not.
