These flags haven't been used for a while. SF_TUNNEL was reintroduced
by commit d62b98c6e ("MINOR: stream: don't set backend's nor response
analysers on SF_TUNNEL") to handle the two-level streams needed to
deal with the first model for H2, and was not removed after this model
was abandonned. SF_INITIALIZED was only set. SF_CONN_TAR was never
referenced at all.
The SI_FL_WANT_PUT flag is used in an awkward way, sometimes it's
set by the stream-interface to mean "I have something to deliver",
sometimes it's cleared by the channel to say "I don't want you to
send what you have", and it has to be set back once CF_DONT_READ
is cleared. This will have to be split between SI_FL_RX_WAIT_EP
and SI_FL_RXBLK_CHAN. This patch only replaces all uses of the
flag with its natural (but negated) replacement SI_FL_RX_WAIT_EP.
The code is expected to be strictly equivalent. The now unused flag
was completely removed.
The plan is to have the following flags to describe why a stream interface
doesn't produce data :
- SI_FL_RXBLK_CHAN : the channel doesn't want it to receive
- SI_FL_RXBLK_BUFF : waiting for a buffer allocation to complete
- SI_FL_RXBLK_ROOM : more room is required in the channel to receive
- SI_FL_RXBLK_SHUT : input now closed, nothing new will come
- SI_FL_RX_WAIT_EP : waiting for the endpoint to produce more data
Applets like the CLI which consume complete commands at once and produce
large chunks of responses will for example be able to stop being woken up
by clearing SI_FL_WANT_GET and setting SI_FL_RXBLK_ROOM when the rx buffer
is full. Once called they will unblock WANT_GET. The flags were moved
together in readable form with the Rx bits using 2 hex digits and still
have some room to do a similar operation on the Tx path later, with the
WAIT_EP flag being represented alone on a digit.
This flag is not enough to describe all blocking situations, as can be
seen in each case we remove it. The muxes has taught us that using multiple
blocking flags in parallel will be much easier, so let's start to do this
now. This patch only renames this flags in order to make next changes more
readable.
Commit 53216e7db ("MEDIUM: connections: Don't directly mess with the
polling from the upper layers.") removed the CS_FL_DATA_RD_ENA and
CS_FL_DATA_WR_ENA flags without updating flags.c, thus breaking the
build. This patch also adds flag CL_FL_NOT_FIRST which was brought
by commit 08088e77c.
The behaviour of the flag CF_WRITE_PARTIAL was modified by commit
95fad5ba4 ("BUG/MAJOR: stream-int: don't re-arm recv if send fails") due
to a situation where it could trigger an immediate wake up of the other
side, both acting in loops via the FD cache. This loss has caused the
need to introduce CF_WRITE_EVENT as commit c5a9d5bf, to replace it, but
both flags express more or less the same thing and this distinction
creates a lot of confusion and complexity in the code.
Since the FD cache now acts via tasklets, the issue worked around in the
first patch no longer exists, so it's more than time to kill this hack
and to restore CF_WRITE_PARTIAL's semantics (i.e.: there has been some
write activity since we last left process_stream).
This patch mostly reverts the two commits above. Only the part making
use of CF_WROTE_DATA instead of CF_WRITE_PARTIAL to detect the loss of
data upon connection setup was kept because it's more accurate and
better suited.
Commit f4cfcf9 ("MINOR: debug/flags: Add missing flags") added a number
of missing flags but a few of them were incorrect, hiding real values.
This can be backported to 1.8.
These flags are not exactly for the data layer, they instead indicate
what is expected from the transport layer. Since we're going to split
the connection between the transport and the data layers to insert a
mux layer, it's important to have a clear idea of what each layer does.
All function conn_data_* used to manipulate these flags were renamed to
conn_xprt_*.
After careful inspection, this flag is set at exactly two places :
- once in the health-check receive callback after receipt of a
response
- once in the stream interface's shutw() code where CF_SHUTW is
always set on chn->flags
The flag was checked in the checks before deciding to send data, but
when it is set, the wake() callback immediately closes the connection
so the CO_FL_SOCK_WR_SH flag is also set.
The flag was also checked in si_conn_send(), but checking the channel's
flag instead is enough and even reveals that one check involving it
could never match.
So it's time to remove this flag and replace its check with a check of
CF_SHUTW in the stream interface. This way each layer is responsible
for its shutdown, this will ease insertion of the mux layer.
This flag is both confusing and wrong. It is supposed to report the
fact that the data layer has received a shutdown, but in fact this is
reported by CO_FL_SOCK_RD_SH which is set by the transport layer after
this condition is detected. The only case where the flag above is set
is in the stream interface where CF_SHUTR is also set on the receiving
channel.
In addition, it was checked in the health checks code (while never set)
and was always test jointly with CO_FL_SOCK_RD_SH everywhere, except in
conn_data_read0_pending() which incorrectly doesn't match the second
time it's called and is fortunately protected by an extra check on
(ic->flags & CF_SHUTR).
This patch gets rid of the flag completely. Now conn_data_read0_pending()
accurately reports the fact that the transport layer has detected the end
of the stream, regardless of the fact that this state was already consumed,
and the stream interface watches ic->flags&CF_SHUTR to know if the channel
was already closed by the upper layer (which it already used to do).
The now unused conn_data_read0() function was removed.
The ->init() callback of the connection's data layer was only used to
complete the session's initialisation since sessions and streams were
split apart in 1.6. The problem is that it creates a big confusion in
the layers' roles as the session has to register a dummy data layer
when waiting for a handshake to complete, then hand it off to the
stream which will replace it.
The real need is to notify that the transport has finished initializing.
This should enable a better splitting between these layers.
This patch thus introduces a connection-specific callback called
xprt_done_cb() which informs about handshake successes or failures. With
this, data->init() can disappear, CO_FL_INIT_DATA as well, and we don't
need to register a dummy data->wake() callback to be notified of errors.
Very early in the connection rework process leading to v1.5-dev12, commit
56a77e5 ("MEDIUM: connection: complete the polling cleanups") marked the
end of use for this flag which since was never set anymore, but it continues
to be tested. Let's kill it now.
The goal is to have a collection of quick-n-dirty utilities that make
debugging easier and that can easily be modified when needed. The first
utility in this series is called "flags". For a given numeric argument,
it reports the various known combinations of flags for channels, streams
and so on. This way it's easy to copy-paste values from the CLI or from
gdb and immediately know what state a stream-interface or connection is
in.
