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.
