* Various header file fixes... also fix compilation errors when HTTP is disabled.v2.0.0-alpha.6Garrett D'Amore2025-10-05
| | | | | | Also, some instances nni_aio are changed to nng_aio. We think we want to harmonize some of these types going forward as it will reduce the need to include headers hopefully letting us get away with just "defs.h" in more places.
* Introduce DTLS transport for NNG.Garrett D'Amore2025-06-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces a new experimental transport for DTLS, that provides encryption over UDP. It has a simpler protocol than the current UDP SP protocol (but we intend to fix that by making the UDP transport simpler in a follow up!) There are a few other fixes in the TLS layer itself, and in the build, that were needed to accomplish this work. Also there was an endianness bug in the UDP protocol handling, which is fixed here.
* More nng_err -- this time for dialer and listener allocations.Garrett D'Amore2025-04-27
|
* TLS: break up the TLS layer a bit to refactor for DTLS.Garrett D'Amore2025-04-27
| | | | | | | | | | | This allows us to break the assumption that the bottom half is TCP, or even an nng_stream, since the DTLS layer will use a totally different layer. Only nng_stream neeeds to support dial and listen. Also: UDP: Make the sockaddr arguments to open const. Also: Align the IPv6 address in the sockaddr (this allows for efficient 64-bit or even 128-bit operations on these values.)
* socketpair: use nng_errGarrett D'Amore2025-01-14
|
* platform: remove reader/writer locksGarrett D'Amore2025-01-05
| | | | | | The only thing using this was the transport lookups, but as those transports are now fully initialized in nng_init, we no longer need to lock that at all.
* Liberally apply some UWYI (use what you include) to header filesGarrett D'Amore2025-01-05
|
* tcp listener: remove obsolete function prototypesGarrett D'Amore2024-12-28
|
* fixup! resolver: use explicit resolver item provided by callerGarrett D'Amore2024-12-28
|
* resolver: use explicit resolver item provided by callerGarrett D'Amore2024-12-28
| | | | | | This avoids the need to perform multiple allocations for dialing, eliminating additional potential failures. Cancellation is also made simpler and more perfectly robust.
* pollers: use atomic bit masking operations to eliminate lockssGarrett D'Amore2024-12-22
| | | | This is done for kqueue and poll. Others coming soon.
* streams: add explicit stop functionsGarrett D'Amore2024-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | This allows us to explicitly stop streams, dialers, and listeners, before we start tearing down things. This hopefully will be useful in resolving use-after-free bugs in http, tls, and websockets. The new functions are not yet documented, but they are nng_stream_stop, nng_stream_dialer_stop, and nng_stream_listener_stop. They should be called after close, and before free. The close functions now close without blocking, but the stop function is allowed to block.
* performance: reference counters can use relaxed order when incrementingGarrett D'Amore2024-12-07
|
* Use 32-bit port numbers.Garrett D'Amore2024-11-21
| | | | | While TCP and UDP port numbers are 16-bits, ZT uses a larger (24-bit) port number.
* URL u_port should be a number not a string.Garrett D'Amore2024-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | The idea here is to reduce the dynamic allocations used for URLs, and also the back and forth with parsing begin strings and port numbers. We always resolve to a port number, and this is easier for everyone. The real goal in the long term is to eliminate dynamic allocation of the URL fields altogether, but that requires a little more work. This is a step in the right direction.
* refactor initialization/finalizationGarrett D'Amore2024-11-11
| | | | | | | | | Applications must now call nng_init(), but they can supply a set of parameters optionally. The code is now safe for multiple libraries to do this concurrently, meaning nng_fini no longer can race against another instance starting up. The nni_init checks on all public APIs are removed now.
* UDP: Introduce an experimental (undocumented for now) public API for UDP. ↵Garrett D'Amore2024-06-02
| | | | | | | | (#1838) This exposes the UDP methods as nng_ methods, and adds support for Multicast Membership, which is useful in a variety of situations. No documentation is provided, and applications should consider thios API experimental.
* Added realtime clock support, and better timestamping.Garrett D'Amore2024-04-14
| | | | | The realtime clock is not (yet) exposed for user applications, but it is used for logging timestamps accurately.
* Fix warning from inconsistent socket_pair prototype.Garrett D'Amore2024-01-06
|
* fixes #1746 Create a new socket:// transport for socketpair() based connectionsGarrett D'Amore2023-12-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This transport only listens, and creates connections when the application calls setopt on the lister with NNG_OPT_SOCKET_FD, to pass a file descriptor. The FD is turned into an nng_stream, and utilized for SP. The protocol over the descriptor is identical to the TCP protocol (not the IPC protocol). The options for peer information are borrowed from the IPC transport, as they may be useful for these purposes. This includes a test suite and full documentation.
* Provide atomic pointer support.Garrett D'Amore2021-12-05
| | | | | This is initially used for TLS to make loading the engine pointer faster, eliminating a much more expensive lock operation.
* Remove extra wrapper for platform clock support.Garrett D'Amore2021-07-22
|
* fixes #1409 reader/writer lock desiredGarrett D'Amore2021-07-11
| | | | | | This provides the initial implementation, and converts the transport lookup routines to use it. This is probably of limited performance benefit, but rwlock's may be useful in further future work.
* fixes #1071 tran_chkopt can be cleaned upGarrett D'Amore2020-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a sweeping cleanup of the transport logic around options, and also harmonizes the names used when setting or getting options. Additionally, legacy methods are now moved into a separate file and can be elided via CMake or a preprocessor define. Fundamentally, the ability to set to transport options via the socket is deprecated; there are numerous problems with this and my earlier approaches to deal with this have been somewhat misguided. Further these approaches will not work with future protocol work that is planned (were some options need to be negotiated with peers at the time of connection establishment.) Documentation has been updated to reflect this. The test suites still make rather broad use of the older APIs, and will be converted later.
* fixes #1311 reduce wasted use for nni_aioGarrett D'Amore2020-10-31
| | | | | | | | | | fixes #1317 IPv6 listener get port is incorrect fixes #1319 Want symbolic service names This is phase 1 of reducing the memory foot-print of aios, and also of pipes. This removes the largest consumer the socket address information, from the aio, which was only used by a few consumers.
* fixes #960 NNG threads inherit application thread nameGarrett D'Amore2020-08-08
| | | | | | This also exposes an nng_thread_set_name() function for applications to use. All NNG thread names start with "nng:". Note that support is highly dependent on the operating system.
* fixes #844 WebSocket wildcard host errorsGarrett D'Amore2020-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | fixes #1224 wss fails on IPV6 address This fixes bugs and inconsistencies in the way addresses are handled for HTTP (and consequently websocket). The Host: address line needs to look at numeric IPs and treat wildcards as if they are not specified, and needs to understand the IPv6 address format using brackets (e.g. [::1]:80).
* XREQ and others race on TTL.Garrett D'Amore2020-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | The TTL in these cases should have been atomic. To facilitate things we actually introduce an atomic int for convenience. We also introduce a convenience nni_msg_must_append_u32() and nni_msg_header_must_append_u32(), so that we can eliminate some failure tests that cannot ever happen. Combined with a new test for xreq, we have 100% coverage for xreq and more coverage for the other REQ/REP protocols.
* fixes #1105 pollable can be inlined, and use atomicsGarrett D'Amore2020-01-04
| | | | | This also introduces an nni_atomic_cas64 to help with lock-free designs. Some mechanical renaming was done in some of the protocols for spelling.
* fixes #1083 Random number improvementsGarrett D'Amore2020-01-01
|
* fixes #1075 WebSocket heap use after freeGarrett D'Amore2019-12-30
| | | | | This also introduces a new atomic boolean type, so we can use that to trigger whether we've added the HTTP handler or not.
* fixes #1051 nni_ntop is unusedGarrett D'Amore2019-12-27
|
* fix #946 Use after free in TLSGarrett D'Amore2019-05-19
| | | | | This also introduces a more efficient reference counting usage based on atomics, rather than locks.
* Introduce nni_plat_printf()Garrett D'Amore2019-05-07
| | | | | This permits the stats dump to avoid some extra buffering, and resolves a complaint about possible format buffer overruns.
* fixes #872 create unified nng_stream APIGarrett D'Amore2019-02-16
| | | | | | | | | This is a major change, and includes changes to use a polymorphic stream API for all transports. There have been related bugs fixed along the way. Additionally the man pages have changed. The old non-polymorphic APIs are removed now. This is a breaking change, but the old APIs were never part of any released public API.
* fixes #839 TCP listener_start API should use constant sockaddrGarrett D'Amore2019-01-06
|
* fixes #825 TCP public API should use generic setopt/getoptGarrett D'Amore2018-12-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | This changes much of the internal API for TCP option handling, and includes hooks for some of this in various consumers. Note that the consumers still need to have additional work done to complete them, which will be part of providing public "raw" TLS and WebSocket APIs. We would also like to finish addressing the call sites of nni_tcp_listener_start() that assume the sockaddr is modified -- it would be superior to use the NNG_OPT_LOCADDR option. Thaat will be addressed in a follow up PR.
* fixes #834 Simplify IPC internal API & updateGarrett D'Amore2018-12-31
| | | | | This also makes some smaller related changes to use the new nni_type instead of nni_opt_type.
* progress on IPC endpointsGarrett D'Amore2018-12-29
|
* IPC option rework (pipe/conn) to reduce code duplication.Garrett D'Amore2018-12-29
|
* fixes #823 Define public IPC (#824)Garrett D'Amore2018-12-22
| | | | | | | This introduces a basic IPC API, modeled on the TCP API, for direct access. Only connection options are exposed at present -- we need to add options for dialers and listeners (and particularly listener settings for permissions and security attributes.) Documentation is still outstanding, but a very limited test suite exists.
* fixes #674 want 64-bit atomics (for stats)Garrett D'Amore2018-08-27
|
* fixes #608 Add TCP support to specify local network interfaceGarrett D'Amore2018-08-27
| | | | | This also fixes a leaked TCP connection on a failure path, which we noticed while working this change.
* fixes #605 NNI_ALLOC_STRUCT/NNI_ALLOC_STRUCTS should zero memoryGarrett D'Amore2018-07-24
|
* fixes #595 mutex leak and other minor errors in TCPGarrett D'Amore2018-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fixes #596 POSIX IPC should move away from pipedesc/epdesc fixes #598 TLS and TCP listeners could support NNG_OPT_LOCADDR fixes #594 Windows IPC should use "new style" win_io code. fixes #597 macOS could support PEER PID This large change set cleans up the IPC support on Windows and POSIX. This has the beneficial impact of significantly reducing the complexity of the code, reducing locking, increasing concurrency (multiple dial and accepts can be outstanding now), reducing context switches (we complete thins synchronously now). While here we have added some missing option support, and fixed a few more bugs that we found in the TCP code changes from last week.
* fixes #523 dialers could support multiple outstanding dial requestsGarrett D'Amore2018-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fixes #179 DNS resolution should be done at connect time fixes #586 Windows IO completion port work could be better fixes #339 Windows iocp could use synchronous completions fixes #280 TCP abstraction improvements This is a rather monstrous set of changes, which refactors TCP, and the underlying Windows I/O completion path logic, in order to obtain a cleaner, simpler API, with support for asynchronous DNS lookups performed on connect rather than initialization time, the ability to have multiple connects or accepts pending, as well as fewer extraneous function calls. The Windows code also benefits from greatly reduced context switching, fewer lock operations performed, and a reduced number of system calls on the hot code path. (We use automatic event resetting instead of manual.) Some dead code was removed as well, and a few potential edge case leaks on failure paths (in the websocket code) were plugged. Note that all TCP based transports benefit from this work. The IPC code on Windows still uses the legacy IOCP for now, as does the UDP code (used for ZeroTier.) We will be converting those soon too.
* fixes #572 Several locking errors foundGarrett D'Amore2018-07-03
| | | | | | | | | | fixes #573 atomic flags could help This introduces a new atomic flag, and reduces some of the global locking. The lock refactoring work is not yet complete, but this is a positive step forward, and should help with certain things. While here we also fixed a compile warning due to incorrect types.
* fixes #32 autoscale based on CPUs availableGarrett D'Amore2018-06-12
| | | | | | This should work on both Windows and the most common POSIX variants. We will create at least two threads for running completions, but there are numerous other threads in the code.
* fixes #499 Eliminate the unused nni_plat_home_dir...Garrett D'Amore2018-05-30

* 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.
