Altered the function to assert that the DCB is a backend DCB in addition
to the existing assertions for non-NULL backend reference on function
return.
Move the fetching of the backend reference after the type of the DCB is
inspected in handleError. This removes the need to handle the case where
the returned bref is NULL and the DCB is a client DCB.
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.
The combination of the default values of `disable_sescmd_history=false`
and `max_slave_connections=100%` does not make sense as it is not possible
to find a replacement slave in case an active one fails.
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.
handleError can detect READ ONLY transaction set when problem_dcb ==
rses->forced_node->bref_dcb.
Session will be closed and rses->forced_node set to NULL
All modules now declare a name for the module. This is name is added as a
prefix to all messages logged by a module. The prefix should help
determine which part of the system logs a message.
The parameters that readwritesplit uses now use the new system. This
removes the need for the qualified parameter processing found in config.c.
All values for router_options are now also accepted as parameters. The
router_options is deprecated and support for it will be removed in a
future version.
The MXS_MODULDE object now contains optinal pointers for functions
to be called att process and thread startup and shutdown. Since the
functions were added to the end, strictly speaking, all structures
would not have needed to have been modified, but better to be
explicit. In a subsequent change, these will be called.
C++ does not support flexible arrays, so for the time being C++
modules are restricted to 10 parameters. Better approach is to
factor out the parameters to a separate array and then just store
a pointer to that array in MXS_MODULE.
The variables now use the actual option and parameter names. This should
help make the code more readable and easier to understand in relation to
the used options.
The MODULE_INFO is now the main object which is used by modules to convey
information to the MaxScale core. The MXS_MODULE name is more apt as it
now contains the actual module definition.
The old MODULES structure was moved into load_utils.c as an internal
implementation and was renamed so that it is not confused with the new
MODULE structure.
The modules are now declared with a common macro. This allows future
additions to the module loading process while also making the loaded
symbol name a constant.
This allows modules to only expose one entry point with a consistent
signature. In the future, this could be used to implement declarations of
module parameters.
If a slave fails while a non-critical read is being executed, the read is
retried on a different server. This is controlled by the new
`retry_failed_reads` option.
Only selects done that are done outside of a transaction and with
autocommit enabled are retried.
When a DCB error occurs, the handleError entry point of the routers is
called. The caller of this entry point expects that the error handler
marks the DCB as handled. The aforementioned behavior is wrong as the
error handler should not keep track of whether the handler was already
called.
Closing the DCB and the backend reference that uses it at the same time
makes the error handling code clearer and removes some of the assumptions
that the code made. It will cause the DCB to be closed in multiple places
but the logic of why a DCB is being closed is more visible from the code.
This change should remove all cases where a DCB is closed without a
tightly coupled backend reference.
If the `error_on_write` mode is used when a master loses the master state,
the backend would not get closed. This would allow masters that appear
back to be used which is not intended.
Added a check for the validity of the backend DCBs before they are
closed. This should guarantee that only valid DCBs are closed by
readwritesplit.
However, this is not the correct solution for the problem. The DCB should
not be in an invalid state in the first place and this fix just removes
the bad side effects of the double closing.
With the added logging in the readwritesplit error handler, more detailed
information should become available.
If a DCB is passed to the error handler for which we cannot find the
corresponding backend reference, it should not be closed.
Added extra logging for situations where the backend reference can't be
found or it is in the wrong state.
This is not the optimal way to do error handling but it should solve all
problems that could rise from the multi-threaded model of MaxScale.
By taking a lock at the start of handleError, we'll be able to modify the
dcb error handling flag in a thread-safe manner. This should prevent
double error handling for all DCBs.
The prepared statements were router according to the real type instead of
being router to the master. This was caused by the change in the route
target function.
With the use_sql_variables_in=master option, readwritesplit should route
all user variable modifications and reads with user variables to the
master.
Previously, the modification of user variables was grouped into generic
system variables which caused all modifications to system variables to go
to the master only. The router requires a finer grained distiction between
normal system variable modifications and user variable modifications.
With the improvements to the query classifier, readwritesplit now properly
routes all user variable operations to the master and other system
variable modifications to all servers.
When a connection to the master fails, readwritesplit should always treat
it the same way. Previously, if a connection to the master was lost but it
hadn't lost the master status, the failure would be treated like a slave
server failure.
The backend references now use a common closing function so that all
variables are reset to proper states. The stored queries weren't always
freed and they would leak memory if left open.
The createInstace, newSession, closeSession and freeSession functions were
cleaned up and reorganized to be a bit clearer for the reader. Removed
unnecessary comments and replaced them with ones that explain what's
happening in the code.
Removed unused linked lists from both sessions and instances and replaced
them with better alternatives. This should improve performance since new
session don't have to acquire the instance level lock to put themselves
into the session list.
The readwritesplit now understands that the amount of servers can change
and some of the items in the list of server references aren't in use. This
allows dynamic changes to the number of servers used by readwritesplit.
