Removed unused spinlocks from DCBs, sessions and the MySQL protocol
structs. They were used in a context where only one thread has access to
the structure.
Removed unused member variables from DCBs.
This header defines some general functions and maxscale main() return
values. Most of it is still public, but there were some functions
which were moved to a core header.
Moved some typedefs to router.h and server.h, changed a few
constants to these enums. Renamed some types in config.h to
remove "Gateway".
There are still some functions in the public header which are
only used in core, but they seem to fit the theme of public functions
so were not moved.
When the relay master or external slave states change, they should be
ignored in the current implementation. When the relay master and slave of
external master events are added, the events can be enabled.
The external config.h header defined functions and structures that are
intended to be used by modules. The internal header contains functions
that are used only by the MaxScale core.
The header is divided into two parts, an external and an internal one. The
actual splitting is done in a later commit and this commit only prepares
the header for the split.
Filters, monitors and routers can now declare parameters and those
parameters will always be present. Currently, this removes the need to
parse simple values like booleans and integers.
Some of the more common parameter types could be added in the future
e.g. paths to files.
The server weighting parameters couldn't be altered online and they
weren't serialized to disk. Only servers that are created online will have
their weighting parameters persisted to disk.
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.
Router and filter instances cannot be destroyed before all worker
threads have exited. Otherwise there is a risk that data gets deleted
while someone might still be accessing it. Further, since all router
and filter instances are created by the main-thread it is better that
they are deleted by that thread as well (and not by whichever thread
happens to execute service_shutdown()). That will reduce the risk that
some unknown assumptions are violated.
The service header in include/maxscale/ contains the public part of the
service API. These functions can be safely used by the modules.
The internal header located in service/core/maxscale/ is used by the core
to initialize MaxScale at startup or to provide other services in a more
controlled way (the config_runtime, for example).
The general purpose stuff in skygw_utils.h was moved to utils.h
and the corresponding implementation from skygw_utils.cc to utils.c.
Includes updated accordingly.
Skygw_utils.h is now only used by log_manager and by mlist, which
is only used by log_manager. Consequently, skygw_utils.h was moved
to server/maxscale.
Utils.h needs a separate overhaul.
