The contents of the existing filter.cc was copied into filter.c that
subsequently was renamed to filter.cc.
The way the session is called as the last filter in the filter chain
is really dubious and ought to be rearranged so that the blind casting
of a session to a filter and back is not needed.
It is now possible to specify what information the caller is interested
in. With this the cost for collecting information during the query parsing
that nobody is interested in can be avoided.
- Non-GCC intrinsics alternative implementation removed. Let's worry
about the absence of the intrinsics once/if that becomes relevant.
- Spinlock release now performed using __sync_lock_release, as per
svoj's advice.
- while-looping on the variable used as lock removed, so it no longer
need to be volatile.
- Boolean function returns bool.
- Size of profiling counters increased.
- Risk for division-by-zero removed.
- Documentation moved from implementation to header.
If a server points to a local MaxScale listener, the permission checks for
that server are skipped. This allows permission checks to be used with a
mix of external servers and internal services.
The static module capabilities are now used to query the capabilities of
filters and routers. The new RCAP_TYPE_NOAUTH capability is also taken
into use. These changes removes the need for the `is_internal_service`
function.
This is a list of servers, separated by commas. When queried as a
config setting, returns a null-terminated array of SERVER*:s. The
commit includes a serverlist parsing function, which should probably
be used anywhere a similarly formed string is parsed.
For the general case, regex matching simply will not do. The
regex becomes so hairy so it turns write-only, i.e. unmaintainable.
Regex matching is also slower than a handwritten custom parser.
