The client connections had the Nagle algorithm enabled which could cause
bad performance with smaller workloads. The common network configuration
code in utils.cc, currently used by the backend connections, sets it
properly.
See script directory for method. The script to run in the top level
MaxScale directory is called maxscale-uncrustify.sh, which uses
another script, list-src, from the same directory (so you need to set
your PATH). The uncrustify version was 0.66.
Enabling it will give a performance improvement and it offloads work from
the CPU. This leads to better and more complete utilization of system
resources.
Moved 4 byte get/set into utils header. The byte packing functions in
maxscale/protocol/mysql.h should be migrated to the utils directory where
they can also be used by non-mysql code.
The temporary files are now generated with mkstemp. This will prevent
conflicts with multiple monitors operating on the same temporary journal
even though it is impossible in practice.
Added missing error messages to a couple of the functions.
All whitespace in object names is now converted to a compacted format with
whitespace replaced with hyphens. If a conversion takes place, a warning
is logged.
Converted some of the tests into C++ as they directly include .cc files.
The admin thread now uses blocking IO. This is not optimal but it
simplifies the code by some amount.
Fixed option processing removing one extra character from key name.
Use correct member variable when checking for the option map end.
The client connection and the server listener sockets used largely similar
code. Combining them allows for simpler protocol code.
Cleaned up parts of the DCB listener creation and moved the parsing of the
network binding configuration to a higher level.
The socket creation code in mysql_backend.c wasn't MySQL specific and it
could be used for all non-blocking network connections. Thus, it makes
sense to move it to a common file where other protocol modules can use
it.
The address resolution code now uses `getaddrinfo` to resolve all
addresses instead of manually handling wildcard hosts. This allows the
same code to be used for all addresses.
Both the listeners and servers now support IPv6 addresses.
The namedserverfilter does not yet use the new structures and needs to be
fixed in a following commit.
Aligning the statistics object indices to cache line size reduces the CPU
overhead of gathering the statistics. This allows the statistics to more
accurately measure the polling system without the measurement affecting
the outcome.
The path that was given as the option for the cache directory wasn't
properly checked for terminating forward slashes. Due to this, the cache
file was created with the wrong name.
