By storing the reference in the DCB, the two-way dependency between the
listeners and services is severed. Now the services have no direct link to
listeners and after the destruction of a listener it will be freed once
all connections through it have closed.
Due to the fact that a listener itself has a DCB that must point to a
valid listener, a self-reference is stored in the listener DCB. This is
extremely confusing and is only here to keep the code functional until the
DCB part of the listener can be factored out.
Allocating DCB with new allows the use of C++ objects in the DCB
struct. Also the explicit poll field can be replaced by inheriting from
MXB_POLL_DATA.
Modified the functions to use a listener instead of a DCB in the accepting
process. This removes some of the dependenices that the listeners have on
the DCB system.
By loading the entry points required by a DCB when the Listener is
created, the extra cost of finding the module is removed. It also
simplifies DCB creation by removing the possibility of all failures to
load modules at DCB creation time.
The value would otherwise be assigned outside of it and in some cases not
at all. Now all DCBs (apart from internal ones) have a valid SERVICE
pointer.
The SERV_LISTENER pointer should not be in the DCBs but in the
session. This way the listener is an attribute of a session instead of a
connection. If this is implemented, the authenticator data can be more
easily shared.
The class is still mostly the same as the old C version but it now uses
std::string instead of char pointers. Changed configuration default values
so that the parameters passed to the listener allocation are always valid.
Even though directly closing the socket is not very neat in the
architectural sense of things, it allows the best of both worlds: the
socket is instantly closed and is open for reuse while the listener struct
is still available as a reference.
This change needs to be revised when the listeners are refactored into
separate objects.
Updated documentation to reflect the change in behavior.
When a DCB is removed and added more than once with poll_add_dcb and
poll_remove_dcb, the code previously chose a different thread each time
the DCB was added. This violated the assumption is that all DCBs are local
to a single worker.
The callbacks iterated over all threads when only the local ones must be
iterated. This prevents a deadlock from occurring when multiple threads
start throttling at the same time.
Also fixed the gwbuf_append debug assertion.
The reads now read as much of the data as is available to reduce the
number of distinct malloc calls that need to be made. The SSL_read also
now allocates the buffer before reading into it so that the amount of
copying is reduced.
Also removed some of the not quite helpful debug messages.
The client connections had the Nagle algorithm enabled which could cause
bad performance with smaller workloads. The common network configuration
code in utils.cc, currently used by the backend connections, sets it
properly.
See script directory for method. The script to run in the top level
MaxScale directory is called maxscale-uncrustify.sh, which uses
another script, list-src, from the same directory (so you need to set
your PATH). The uncrustify version was 0.66.
Given that worker.hh was public, it made sense to make routingworker.hh
public as well. This removes the need to include private headers in
modules and allows C++ constructs to be used in C++ code when previously
only the C API was available.
