* fixes #664 aio cancellation could be betterGarrett D'Amore2018-08-20
| | | | | | | | | This changes the signature of the aio cancellation routines to take the argument for cancellation directly, so we do not need to lookup the argument using the nni_aio_get_prov_data. We should probably consider eliminating nni_aio_get_prov_data, and co, and changing the prov_extra to reflect prov_data. Later.
* fixes #419 want to nni_aio_stop without blocking (#428)Garrett D'Amore2018-05-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * fixes #419 want to nni_aio_stop without blocking This actually introduces an nni_aio_close() API that causes nni_aio_begin to return NNG_ECLOSED, while scheduling a callback on the AIO to do an NNG_ECLOSED as well. This should be called in non-blocking close() contexts instead of nni_aio_stop(), and the cases where we call nni_aio_fini() multiple times are updated updated to add nni_aio_stop() calls on all "interlinked" aios before finalizing them. Furthermore, we call nni_aio_close() as soon as practical in the close path. This closes an annoying race condition where the callback from a lower subsystem could wind up rescheduling an operation that we wanted to abort.
* fixes #352 aio lock is burning hotGarrett D'Amore2018-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fixes #326 consider nni_taskq_exec_synch() fixes #410 kqueue implementation could be smarter fixes #411 epoll_implementation could be smarter fixes #426 synchronous completion can lead to panic fixes #421 pipe close race condition/duplicate destroy This is a major refactoring of two significant parts of the code base, which are closely interrelated. First the aio and taskq framework have undergone a number of simplifications, and improvements. We have ditched a few parts of the internal API (for example tasks no longer support cancellation) that weren't terribly useful but added a lot of complexity, and we've made aio_schedule something that now checks for cancellation or other "premature" completions. The aio framework now uses the tasks more tightly, so that aio wait can devolve into just nni_task_wait(). We did have to add a "task_prep()" step to prevent race conditions. Second, the entire POSIX poller framework has been simplified, and made more robust, and more scalable. There were some fairly inherent race conditions around the shutdown/close code, where we *thought* we were synchronizing against the other thread, but weren't doing so adequately. With a cleaner design, we've been able to tighten up the implementation to remove these race conditions, while substantially reducing the chance for lock contention, thereby improving scalability. The illumos poller also got a performance boost by polling for multiple events. In highly "busy" systems, we expect to see vast reductions in lock contention, and therefore greater scalability, in addition to overall improved reliability. One area where we currently can do better is that there is still only a single poller thread run. Scaling this out is a task that has to be done differently for each poller, and carefuly to ensure that close conditions are safe on all pollers, and that no chance for deadlock/livelock waiting for pfd finalizers can occur.
* fixes #346 nng_recv() sometimes acts on null `msg` pointerGarrett D'Amore2018-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This closes a fundamental flaw in the way aio structures were handled. In paticular, aio expiration could race ahead, and fire before the aio was properly registered by the provider. This ultimately led to the possibility of duplicate completions on the same aio. The solution involved breaking up nni_aio_start into two functions. nni_aio_begin (which can be run outside of external locks) simply validates that nni_aio_fini() has not been called, and clears certain fields in the aio to make it ready for use by the provider. nni_aio_schedule does the work to register the aio with the expiration thread, and should only be called when the aio is actually scheduled for asynchronous completion. nni_aio_schedule_verify does the same thing, but returns NNG_ETIMEDOUT if the aio has a zero length timeout. This change has a small negative performance impact. We have plans to rectify that by converting nni_aio_begin to use a locklesss flag for the aio->a_fini bit. While we were here, we fixed some error paths in the POSIX subsystem, which would have returned incorrect error codes, and we made some optmizations in the message queues to reduce conditionals while holding locks in the hot code path.
* fixes #331 replace NNG_OPT_RAW option with constructorGarrett D'Amore2018-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes the raw mode something that is immutable, determined at socket construction. This is an enabling change for the separate context support coming soon. As a result, this is an API breaking change for users of the raw mode option (NNG_OPT_RAW). There aren't many of them out there. Cooked mode is entirely unaffected. There are changes to tests and documentation included.
* fixes #173 Define public HTTP server APIGarrett D'Amore2018-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces enough of the HTTP API to support fully server applications, including creation of websocket style protocols, pluggable handlers, and so forth. We have also introduced scatter/gather I/O (rudimentary) for aios, and made other enhancements to the AIO framework. The internals of the AIOs themselves are now fully private, and we have eliminated the aio->a_addr member, with plans to remove the pipe and possibly message members as well. A few other minor issues were found and fixed as well. The HTTP API includes request, response, and connection objects, which can be used with both servers and clients. It also defines the HTTP server and handler objects, which support server applications. Support for client applications will require a client object to be exposed, and that should be happening shortly. None of this is "documented" yet, bug again, we will follow up shortly.
* fixes #2 Websocket transportGarrett D'Amore2017-12-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a rather large changeset -- it fundamentally adds websocket transport, but as part of this changeset we added a generic framework for both HTTP and websocket. We also made some supporting changes to the core, such as changing the way timeouts work for AIOs and adding additional state keeping for AIOs, and adding a common framework for deferred finalization (to avoid certain kinds of circular deadlocks during resource cleanup). We also invented a new initialization framework so that we can avoid wiring in knowledge about them into the master initialization framework. The HTTP framework is not yet complete, but it is good enough for simple static serving and building additional services on top of -- including websocket. We expect both websocket and HTTP support to evolve considerably, and so these are not part of the public API yet. Property support for the websocket transport (in particular address properties) is still missing, as is support for TLS. The websocket transport here is a bit more robust than the original nanomsg implementation, as it supports multiple sockets listening at the same port sharing the same HTTP server instance, discriminating between them based on URI (and possibly the virtual host). Websocket is enabled by default at present, and work to conditionalize HTTP and websocket further (to minimize bloat) is still pending.
* fixes #46 make device() use aios directlyGarrett D'Amore2017-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | This eliminates the separate threads used for devices, letting them benefit from the new aio framework. It also eliminates the legacy nni_sock_sendmsg and nni_sock_recvmsg internal APIs. It would appear that there is an opportunity here to provide asynchronous device support out to userland as well, exposing an aio to them. That work is deferred to later.
* fixes #84 Consider using msec for durationsGarrett D'Amore2017-10-19
| | | | | | There is now a public nng_duration type. We have also updated the zerotier work to work with the signed int64_t's that the latst ZeroTier dev branch is using.
* Refactor option handling APIs.Garrett D'Amore2017-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | This makes the APIs use string keys, and largely eliminates the use of integer option IDs altogether. The underlying registration for options is also now a bit richer, letting protcols and transports declare the actual options they use, rather than calling down into each entry point carte blanche and relying on ENOTSUP. This code may not be as fast as the integers was, but it is more intuitive, easier to extend, and is not on any hot code paths. (If you're diddling options on a hot code path you're doing something wrong.)
* Eliminate legacy option settings, provide easier option IDs.Garrett D'Amore2017-08-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This eliminates all the old #define's or enum values, making all option IDs now totally dynamic, and providing well-known string values for well-behaved applications. We have added tests of some of these options, including lookups, and so forth. We have also fixed a few problems; including at least one crasher bug when the timeouts on reconnect were zero. Protocol specific options are now handled in the protocol. We will be moving the initialization for a few of those well known entities to the protocol startup code, following the PAIRv1 pattern, later. Applications must therefore not depend on the value of the integer IDs, at least until the application has opened a socket of the appropriate type.
* Move socket structure to private socket implementation.Garrett D'Amore2017-08-14
| | | | | We enable a few flags, but now the details of the socket internals are completely private to the socket.
* fixes #44 open protocol by "name" (symbol) instead numberGarrett D'Amore2017-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | fixes #38 Make protocols "pluggable", or at least optional This is a breaking change, as we've done away with the central registered list of protocols, and instead demand the user call nng_xxx_open() where xxx is a protocol name. (We did keep a table around in the compat framework though.) There is a nice way for protocols to plug in via an nni_proto_open(), where they can use a generic constructor that they use to build a protocol specific constructor (passing their ops vector in.)

* SRWLocks FTW!Garrett D'Amore2017-07-07
| | | | | | | | | Modern Windows (Vista and later) have light weight Slim Read/Write locks which only occupy 64 bits, and don't require any memory allocation to create. While here clean up a few more unreferenced variables found with the Microsoft compilers.
* Add device support & testing. Bus semantic fix.Garrett D'Amore2017-01-27
This adds nn_device and nng_device. There were some internal changes required to fix shutdown / close issues. Note that we shut down the sockets when exiting from device -- this is required to make both threads see the failure and bail, since we are not using a single event loop. I also noticed that the bus protocol had a bug where it would send messages back to the originator. This was specifically tested for in the compat_device test, and we have fixed it.
