As long as the same thread never handles more than one fatal signal,
multiple fatal signals can be processed. This should guarantee that the
stacktrace is printed into the log while guaranteeing that recursion never
takes place if the handling of a fatal signal causes a fatal signal to be
emitted.
The FakeEventTask called the actual DCB handler with a fake task but it
didn't set the fake event flag. This caused KILL queries to be treated as
if they were network errors.
The password values are now masked with asterisks. This tells whether a
password is set or not but it does not expose any information about the
password itself.
The errors that are ignored by readwritesplit are now stored as the
current close reason in the Backend. This allows the information about the
error to be retained and it can be used later in the error handler to
display the true reason why the connection was closed.
The hangup and error handlers now have unique messages. Although the
behavior in the handlers is practically the same in both cases, the cause
of the error is not the same.
If a socket error is present, it is added to the error message. If an
error is present, it should clearly show the reason why the TCP socket was
closed.
The is_fake_event boolean helps distinguish fake events from real
ones. This makes figuring out the real source of hangup events easier.
The purpose of a COM_RESET_CONNECTION is to reset the connection
states. This means it should be routed to all servers, the same as all
session state modifying commands.
The use of a regular expression allows multiple rewrite rules to be
combined into one. This allows more versatile conversions but, given the
simple nature of regular expressions, also makes accidental changes more
likely.
Addd mxs::pcre2_substitute that is a more C++-friendly version of
mxs_pcre2_substitute to make. This makes string replacement a lot easier
to do when the source and destination are not C strings.
The gwbuf_hexdump_pretty displays the hex contents of the buffer alongside
the human-readable version of it. The text version helps identify parts of
the buffer that contain text which makes protocol data decoding easier.
In cases where servers are known to be down on startup, this feature does
more harm than good. Disabling it in these cases would be preferable but
due to how the parameter is used, it is not possible.
Added new ssl_version value for TLSv1.3. This allows the list of accepted
protocol versions to be limited to all supported protocols. Previously
TLSv1.3 was only available with ssl_version=MAX.
Also fixed the enum value serialization to use a lowercase v. This causes
them to have the same value as the one used in the enum.
Previously when ssl_version was used with a value that is not supported on
the system, an unknown parameter error was returned. This could be
confusing and logging a proper error message should make it clear.
Since the user authentication stores a SHA2-512 hash of the password on
disk, caching the hash results in memory speeds up the authentication
process significantly. Storing the password on disk in plain-text form
would also speed it up but this would be quite insecure.
The number of sessions wasn't always incremented but it was always
decremented. This happened primarily when authentication failed. By making
the management of the counters a part of the object lifecycle, this
problem goes away.
Requiring contiguous buffers removes the need to use mxs::Buffer which
also removes the need to check for buffer boundaries.
Converted all the functions used by get_canonical into `static inline` so
that the compiler knows it can inline them. A few of them weren't `static`
which made the calls to the functions unnecessarily expensive.
The backslash was added instead of assigned. Since the value stored at
that position is always a null byte, assignment and addition would result
in the same outcome.
