The contents of the existing filter.cc was copied into filter.c that
subsequently was renamed to filter.cc.
The way the session is called as the last filter in the filter chain
is really dubious and ought to be rearranged so that the blind casting
of a session to a filter and back is not needed.
By default, only the essentials - the type and the operation - of
a statement will be collected and only if fields, tables, functions
and databases are explicitly asked for, will they be collected.
However, a statement will be parsed at most twice; if parsing is
needed a second time then all information will be collected.
If it is known that some particular information is needed, then
qc_parse() can be called explicitly to ensure it is collected
at first parsing.
It is now possible to specify what information the caller is interested
in. With this the cost for collecting information during the query parsing
that nobody is interested in can be avoided.
The match data needs to be unique for each thread, so for the time
being it is created whenever it is needed. A more performant (although
possibly to a negigible amount) solution would be to have a separate
match data for each thread, but that will have to wait for 2.2.
- Non-GCC intrinsics alternative implementation removed. Let's worry
about the absence of the intrinsics once/if that becomes relevant.
- Spinlock release now performed using __sync_lock_release, as per
svoj's advice.
- while-looping on the variable used as lock removed, so it no longer
need to be volatile.
- Boolean function returns bool.
- Size of profiling counters increased.
- Risk for division-by-zero removed.
- Documentation moved from implementation to header.
When MaxScale is being started and the users are loaded, the MySQL
authenticator should not load the database users for internal services
abstracted as servers.
The loading of users at startup for internal services is avoided because
the startup is done in a single thread context and the internal services
have not yet been started.
The delayed loading of users will cause the authentication to fail when
the first client connect. This triggers the reloading of the users and the
second attempt at authentication will succeed. All of this is hidden from
the end user.
If a server points to a local MaxScale listener, the permission checks for
that server are skipped. This allows permission checks to be used with a
mix of external servers and internal services.
The static module capabilities are now used to query the capabilities of
filters and routers. The new RCAP_TYPE_NOAUTH capability is also taken
into use. These changes removes the need for the `is_internal_service`
function.
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 filter now checks what types of parameters it has been given and
only accepts the old style (match, server) XOR new style (match01,
target01 etc).
Adds support for special targets ->master and ->slave.
Code cleanup.
