If the posting of a message to a message queue fails due to the queue
being full, it is retried for a limited number of times. This is a
temporary fix to the problem that fixing MXS-1948 introduced. A proper
solution that leverages SO_REUSEPORT should be implemented in the next
major release.
When the pipe buffer size is maximized, the message queue can hold more
messages. This will mitigate the problem of too many messages being placed
in the queue.
Instead of trying to figure out whether the kernel supports O_DIRECT
in conjunction with pipes, let's just use it and if it fails, try
without O_DIRECT.
Case in point, based on circumstantial evidence it seems that in a
container context, it may appear as if the kernel supports O_DIRECT
when it in reality does not. So better to use brute-force.
The internal header directory conflicted with in-source builds causing a
build failure. This is fixed by renaming the internal header directory to
something other than maxscale.
The renaming pointed out a few problems in a couple of source files that
appeared to include internal headers when the headers were in fact public
headers.
Fixed maxctrl in-source builds by making the copying of the sources
optional.
MessageQueue encapsulates a message queue built on top of a
pipe. The message queue needs a handler for receiving messages
and must be added to a worker for pumping messages through the
pipe.
Each Worker will have an instance of MessageQueue.
