Some of the protocol modules use ssize_t instead of size_t.
Split the function that counts the number of response packets a session
command will receive into two parts. This allows it to be reused
elsewhere.
The binlogrouter error handling closed the DCB twice. This was caused by
the change in the way the DCB error handling is done.
The protocol modules now also call the error handling routine even if the
router session is NULL. This enables the binlogrouter to manage
authentication failures correctly instead of trying to reconnect again.
The readwritesplit now sends COM_PING queries to backend servers that have
been idle for too long. The option is configured with the
`connection_keepalive` parameter.
The static capabilities declared in getCapabilities allows certain
capabilities to be queried before instances are created. The intended use
of this capability is to remove the need for the `is_internal_service`
function.
The core now provides a simple function to close a session. This removes
the need for the modules to directly call the API entry points when the
session should be closed. It is also in line with the style that other
objects, namely the DCBs, use. This makes the new session_close very
similar to dcb_close.
The client protocol module can resolve whether a password was used based
on the information the authenticators gather before authentication is
done. It uses the authentication token length as the basis on which it
makes the decision.
The client connection and the server listener sockets used largely similar
code. Combining them allows for simpler protocol code.
Cleaned up parts of the DCB listener creation and moved the parsing of the
network binding configuration to a higher level.
The socket creation code in mysql_backend.c wasn't MySQL specific and it
could be used for all non-blocking network connections. Thus, it makes
sense to move it to a common file where other protocol modules can use
it.
The address resolution code now uses `getaddrinfo` to resolve all
addresses instead of manually handling wildcard hosts. This allows the
same code to be used for all addresses.
Both the listeners and servers now support IPv6 addresses.
The namedserverfilter does not yet use the new structures and needs to be
fixed in a following commit.
Currently the only situation where a user needs to be authenticated after
the initial authentication is when a COM_CHANGE_USER is being
executed. This was previously handled by directly calling a function in
the MySQLAuth authenticator.
The new entry in the API of the authenticators is very specific to MySQL
and should be reviewed once other protocols are added.
Refactored common code into a reusable function. Now all of the backend
error handling uses the same function.
Moved responsibility of the DCB error handling tracking to the backend
protocol. The routers no longer need to manage the
`dcb->dcb_errhandle_called` variable of the failed DCB.
Removed calls to handleError with client DCBs as parameters. All of the
routers close the DCB given to handleError if it is a client DCB. The only
time the error handler would be called is when the routeQuery function
fails. The handleError call is redundant as the router already knows that
the session should be closed when it returns from routeQuery.
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.
Currently the only situation where a user needs to be authenticated after
the initial authentication is when a COM_CHANGE_USER is being
executed. This was previously handled by directly calling a function in
the MySQLAuth authenticator.
The new entry in the API of the authenticators is very specific to MySQL
and should be reviewed once other protocols are added.
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 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 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.
It is possible that a session is in the dummy state (a transient state)
when a backend write occurs. The check for the client protocol NULL-ness
should extend to the client DCB itself.
The backend MySQL protocol module now supports a new routing capability
which allows result sets to be gathered into one buffer before they are
routed onward. This should not be used by modules that expect large
result sets as the result set is buffered in memory.
Adding a limit on how large of a result set could be buffered would allow
relatively safe use of this routing capability without compromising the
stability of the system.
Doing batch inserts though readwritesplit would stall due to the fact that
pending session commands were stored instead of executed immediately.
Session command responses that weren't complete also discarded the partial
event instead of storing it for later use.
When a session command was received, any trailing data was lost even
though an attempt to split is was made.
With this change, each session command reply will be routed individually
and any trailing data is routed separately.
The routing capabilities now define the type of output the reply
processing chain expects. Currently, this only consists of two
capabilities; complete packet output and contiguous buffer output. The
latter implies the former.
The MySQLBackend protocol now only checks for complete packets if the
service requires statement based routing. This should remove unnecessary
processing when data is only streamed from the backend to the client.
