Moved some typedefs to router.h and server.h, changed a few
constants to these enums. Renamed some types in config.h to
remove "Gateway".
There are still some functions in the public header which are
only used in core, but they seem to fit the theme of public functions
so were not moved.
MXS-391. The user hosts in the SQL backends can now contain wildcard
addresses (e.g.basicuser@%.com or someuser@myhost_.org). Authenticating
these types of users is rather heavy since it requires looking
up the client host name.
All modules now declare a name for the module. This is name is added as a
prefix to all messages logged by a module. The prefix should help
determine which part of the system logs a message.
Previously, these were discarded. This patch adds a function to
"merge" the mask to the ip so that it's in the form which
normalize_hostname expects (using % as wildcard). Only simple masks
with 255:s and 0:s are accepted. Any other combinations may leave
the hostname in a garbled state which will cause it to be discarded
later.
The MXS_MODULDE object now contains optinal pointers for functions
to be called att process and thread startup and shutdown. Since the
functions were added to the end, strictly speaking, all structures
would not have needed to have been modified, but better to be
explicit. In a subsequent change, these will be called.
C++ does not support flexible arrays, so for the time being C++
modules are restricted to 10 parameters. Better approach is to
factor out the parameters to a separate array and then just store
a pointer to that array in MXS_MODULE.
The MODULE_INFO is now the main object which is used by modules to convey
information to the MaxScale core. The MXS_MODULE name is more apt as it
now contains the actual module definition.
The old MODULES structure was moved into load_utils.c as an internal
implementation and was renamed so that it is not confused with the new
MODULE structure.
The modules are now declared with a common macro. This allows future
additions to the module loading process while also making the loaded
symbol name a constant.
This allows modules to only expose one entry point with a consistent
signature. In the future, this could be used to implement declarations of
module parameters.
The server test used the wrong name.
MySQL users test loaded multiple modules in one function call and wasn't
appropriate for an internal test suite test as it requires a working
installation.
The cache filter didn't set the library paths before trying to load
modules.
The binlogrouter was missing a NULL check which caused a crash.
This commit adds a free() to null_auth_free_client_data, which plugs
the memory leak in maxinfo.
Also, this commit fixes some segfaults when multiple threads are
running status_row() or variable_row(). The functions use
statically allocated index variables, which often go out-of-bounds
in concurrent use. This fix changes the indexes to thread-specific
variables, with allocating and deallocating. This does seem to slow
the functions down somewhat.
MaxScale can now start without any defined monitors. This allows the core
services to be configured beforehand. With the changes to dynamic
modifications to servers, automatic scaling of slaves is possible.
The authentication checks make sure that a user has all the required
grants to access the database. This prevents the creation of unnecessary
backend connections reducing the overall load on the database.
Doing preliminary authentication in MaxScale enables the creation of more
informative error messages.
Doing the checksum matching after memory is allocated and all the work is
done is not very efficient. A simpler solution is to always replace the
users when we reload them.
Replacing the users every time the service users are reloaded will not
cause a degradation in performance because the previous implementation
already does all the extra work but then just discards it.
A faster solution would be to first query the server and request some sort
of a checksum based on the result set the users query would
create. Currently, this can be done inside a stored procedure but it is
not very convenient for the average user. Another option would be to
generate a long string with GROUP_CONCAT but it is highly likely that some
internal buffer limit is hit before the complete value is calculated.
The path that was given as the option for the cache directory wasn't
properly checked for terminating forward slashes. Due to this, the cache
file was created with the wrong name.
The dbusers.c was a MySQL protocol specific file which was used directly
by some of the modules.
Added a new return value for the loadusers authenticator entry point which
allows fatal failures to occur when users are loaded. Currently this is
only taken into notice when the service is first started. If a listener
later returns a fatal error, it is only logged but the service stays in
operation.
Moved the MySQLAuth authenticator sources and the tests that relate to
this module into a subdirectory in the authenticator
directory. Eventually, all authenticators could have a subdirectory of
their own.
The MySQL authenticator now injects the service user into the list of
allowed users if loading of database users fails. This allows the removal
of common code in the binlogrouter and maxinfo modules.
The MySQLAuth authenticator can now store the cached credentials in a
custom location. This is intended for the binlogrouter, which currently
uses a different location for the user cache.
The MySQL authentication modules now have their own document in the
Authenticators directory. Right now this document only describes the
general details of the MySQL authentication and the new option.
The client protocol module now extracts the information that is relevant
for all modules. Currently this information consists of the client
capabilities, character set, username and default database.
The GSSAPI client side authenticator now loads a list of users that are,
for the time being, logged at info level. The next step is to store this
information in the listener's user hashtable.
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.
Made the packet sequence number handling automatic so that it always uses
the correct one.
All functions now have documentation in them. Cleaned up code and added
comments to GSSAPI code.
- 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.
