Because each thread has their own epoll file descriptor and only one
thread can process a DCB, it makes sense to move to a per thread zombie
queue. This removes one of the last restrictions on scalability.
Having a unique epoll instance for each thread allows a lot of the locking
from poll.c to be removed. The downside to this is that each session can
have only one thread processing events for it which might reduce
performance with very low client counts.
When a persistent connection is taken from the pool, the state is reset
with a COM_CHANGE_USER on the next write. This allows reuse of persistent
connections without having to worry about the state of the MySQL session.
- STRERROR_BUFLEN moved to cdefs.h and renamed to MXS_STRERROR_BUFLEN.
Better would be to provide a 'const char* mxs_strerror(int errno)'
that would have a thread specific buffer for the error message.
- MIN and MAX also moved to defs.h as MXS_MIN and MXS_MAX.
- Now only mlist.h of the headers depend upon skygw_utils.h.
- All now include maxscale/cdefs.h as the very first file.
- MXS_[BEGIN|END]_DECLS added to all C-headers.
Strictly speaking not necessary for private headers, but
does not hurt either.
- Include guards moved to the very top of the file.
- #pragma once added.
- Headers now to be included as <maxscale/xyz.h>
- First step, no cleanup of headers has been made. Only moving
from one place to another + necessary modifications.
