Now properly checks if configuration and diagnostics functions are ran in either
main() or in the admin worker. This is useful for debugging and enforcing
thread safety.
Also, monitors are now started and stopped in the admin worker.
By stopping the REST API before the workers and moving the shutdown to the
same worker that handles REST API requests, we prevent the hang on
shutdown. This also makes the signal handler signal-safe.
The class MonitorManager contains monitor-related functions that should not
be called from modules. MonitorManager can access private fields and methods
of the monitor.
The previous main routing worker is now run in a separate thread.
Next step is to treat all routing workers in an identical fashion.
MainWorker is not yet used for anything, but in a subsequent change
the old housekeeper functionality will be moved in top of MainWorker.
If the startup of the listeners requires communication with all of the
workers, the workers must be up and running for that to happen.
Due to the fact that the main thread is still a worker thread, the
initialization code is not extra straightforward. By queuing an event to
the main worker, the startup of all listeners is done at a fully
operational state with all workers fully functional.
The service initialization code was also flawed in the sense that it would
cause a deadlock if any of the threads would have to check for the user
permissions. This is mainly a problem with the authenticator modules but
the benefits of the per service pre-loading of users is most likely
superficial. In theory startup will be faster as each thread now queries
the users in parallel.
Exclude systemd usage if the library is not installed.
Only excluding what is necessary. This keeps the object size the
same and still compiles most of the code.
Systemd wathdog notification at a little more than 2/3 of the
systemd configured time. In the service config (maxscale.service)
add e.g. WatchdogSec=30s to set and enable the watchdog.
For building: install libsystemd-dev.
The next commit will modify cmake configuration and code to
conditionally compile the new code based on existence of libsystemd-dev.
If the log file is successfully opened, both stdout and stderr are
redirected to it. This helps catch ASAN reports without having to read the
system journal files.
As the output is redirected to a file, some of the output was made visible
only in non-daemon mode. This helps keep the log file clean and readable.
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.
Given that worker.hh was public, it made sense to make routingworker.hh
public as well. This removes the need to include private headers in
modules and allows C++ constructs to be used in C++ code when previously
only the C API was available.
