Under heavy load some of the basic network operations could fail which led
to some of the allocated memory to leak.
Also the backend protocol never freed the current protocol command if it
was not completed. This would happen if a user executed a session command
as the first command but backend authentication would fail.
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.
Replaced SPINLOCK with std::mutex where possible, leaving out the more
complex cases. The big offenders remaining are the binlogrouter and the
gateway.cc OpenSSL locks.
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.
The test does a request and prints the responses. It is done to see that
the functionality works. Also added a timeout of 10 seconds to both the
connection and data transfer phases.
The custom random number generator can now be replaced with a C++11
RNG. This greatly improves the reliability and trustworthiness of it.
In addition to this, the conversion of the RNG to a thread-local object
removes the race condition that was present in the previous
implementation. It also theoretically improves performance by a tiny bit.
MariaDBMonitor diagnostics printing is unsafe as some of the read
fields are arrays. To be on the safe side, the fields are now read
in the monitor worker thread.
Since diagnostics must work even for stopped monitors, a worker task
is used. In practice, it usually runs when the monitor is sleeping.
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.
