In a subsequent change, the includes of server/core/*.c will be
cleaned up, and if there is a common set of include files, needed
by most, then a server/core/maxscale/core.h that includes those
will be introduced.
MAX_BUFFER_SIZE, which is used for limiting the amount of the data
read from a socket renamed to MXS_MAX_NW_READ_BUFFER_SIZE and moved
from gw.h to limits.h.
Consider removing altogether. Difficult to justify since non-blocking
reads are used and the amount of available data is known.
Gw.h contained a fair amount of obsolete function declarations,
duplicate declarations of functions declared in utils.h and
declarations of functions that conceptually are similar to those
in utils.h.
The obsolete and duplicate ones were removed and all but one of
the remaining moved to utils.h. Correspondingly the implementation
was moved from gw_utils.c to utils.c.
The one remaining function - gw_daemonize() - is not really worthy
of a file of its own, so that is to be moved to gateway.c after which
gw_utils.c can be removed.
Gw.h still contains defines that are duplicated in
maxscale/protocol/mysql.h. The ones in gw.h are to be removed. It
appears that the entire gw.h will disappear.
The general purpose stuff in skygw_utils.h was moved to utils.h
and the corresponding implementation from skygw_utils.cc to utils.c.
Includes updated accordingly.
Skygw_utils.h is now only used by log_manager and by mlist, which
is only used by log_manager. Consequently, skygw_utils.h was moved
to server/maxscale.
Utils.h needs a separate overhaul.
- 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.
Authenticators now have a similar mechanism to the `router_options`
parameter which enables configurable authentication.
The authenticators also have a new initialize entry point which is similar
to the createInstance entry point of the filters and routers. The value of
`authenticator_options` is passed as a parameter to this function. The
return vaulue of the `initialize` entry point is passed to the `create`
entry point.
The MySQLCommon library contains functions used by both the protocol and
authenticator modules. The contents of the modutil.c file could also be
moved to this file if the functions in that file are only used by modules
and not the core.
The create and destroy entry points allow authenticators to store data in
the DCB. This data is not shared by other DCBs related to the same
session.
The plugin_name entry point wasn't really useful as the plugins would
still need to send a AuthSwitchRequest packet if they wanted to change the
authentication mechanism.
The authentication for backend connections is now done in the
MySQLBackendAuth module. This is also the default authentication module
for backend connections created by MySQLBackend.
The backend responses are now read in one place and the functions just
read the data. The protocol level will now handle the packet gathering
process and the authentication part just inspects the data.
Backend connections now load authenticators when they are being
connected. In the future, this enables the use of authentication modules
for backend connection.
The DCB error messages now log the type of the DCB and the remote address
in addition to the system error message. The file descriptor and memory
address are no longer printed in the error message as they are not useful
to the end user. The fd and address are now logged at debug level with a
more verbose error message.
As errors and warnings are throttled, there is a need for being able
to log severe errors without ever having them throttled (e.g. when
logging the stack in conjunction with a crash).
MXS_ALERT should only be used in a context where the process is known
to be going down, either via crash or explicit exit.
The mysqlmon simple failover mode allows it to direct write traffic to a
secondary node. This enables a very simple failover mode with MaxScale
when it is used in a two node master-slave setup.
The canonical form of the query should ignore changes in whitespace as the
semantics of the query stays the same regardless of the amount of
whitespace.
The MYSQL_* authentication return codes are now in gw_authenticator.h so
that all authenticators can use them. Also dropped the MYSQL_ prefix from
the return codes and added AUTH_INCOMPLETE for a generic
authentication-in-progress return code.
MaxScale shouldn't require the service and monitor user checks. It makes
sense to disable the checks to speed up the startup process when the user
knows that the permissions are OK.
Session command responses with multiple packets could be spread across
multiple, non-contiguous buffers. If a buffer contained a complete packet
and some extra data but it wasn't contiguous, the debug assertion in
gwbuf_clone_portion would fail. With release builds, it would cause
eventual out-of-bounds memory access when the response would be sent to
the client.
- Single entry/single exit.
- Variables declared as they are needed.
- The GWBUF_EMPTY check removed as it only looks at the first buffer
in a chain. That is, if there had been a non-empty chain where the
first buffer is empty, the function would incorrectly have reported
that the buffer contains no packet.
- Documentation updated.
The `detect_stale_slave` functionality used to only work when MaxScale had
the knowledge that a master server has existed and that replication was
working at some point in time. This might be a "safe" way to do it in
regards to staleness of the data but in practice it is preferrable to
always allow slave to be used for reads.
This change adds the missing functionality to the monitor by assigning
slave status to all servers which are configured as replication slaves
when no master can be found.
The new member variable that was added to the SERVER should be removed in
2.1 where the server_info offers the same functionalty without "polluting"
the SERVER type.
If a relay master server is found in the replication tree, it should not
get the master status. Previously all master servers were assigned the
master status regardless of their depth in the replication tree.
By comparing the depth value of each potential master, the monitor can
find the right master at the root of the replication tree.
The mysqlmon now supports proper detection of multi-master topologies by
building a directed graph out of the monitored server. If cycles are found from
this graph, they are assigned a master group ID. All servers with a positive
master group ID will receive the Master status unless they have `@@read_only`
enabled.
This new functionality can be enabled with the 'multimaster' boolean
parameter.
