* 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 #522 Separate out the endpoint plumbingGarrett D'Amore2018-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | This separates the plumbing for endpoints into distinct dialer and listeners. Some of the transports could benefit from further separation, but we've done some rather larger separation e.g. for the websocket transport. IPC would be a good one to update later, when we start looking at exposing a more natural underlying API.

* fixes #540 nni_ep_opttype serves no purposeGarrett D'Amore2018-06-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | fixes #538 setopt should have an explicit chkopt routine fixes #537 Internal TCP API needs better name separation fixes #524 Option types should be "typed" This is a rework of the option management code, to make it both clearer and to prepare for further work to break up endpoints. This reduces a certain amount of dead or redundant code, and actually saves cycles when setting options, as some loops were not terminated that should have been.
* fixes #509 We need "relative" IPC URLsGarrett D'Amore2018-06-08
| | | | | | This special cases the URL parser for inproc and IPC urls, changing so that they no longer parse the thing after the :// as anything special. This allows IPC URLs to be relative.
* fixes #484 crashes in websocket transportGarrett D'Amore2018-05-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fixes #490 posix_epdesc use-after-free bug fixes #489 Sanitizer based testing would help fixes #492 Numerous memory leaks found with sanitizer This introduces support for compiler-based sanitizers when using clang or gcc (and not on Windows). See NNG_SANITIZER for possible settings such as "thread" or "address". Furthermore, we have fixed the issues we found with both the thread and address sanitizers. We believe that the thread issues pointed to a low frequency use-after-free responsible for rare crashes in some of the tests. The tests generally have their timeouts doubled when running under a sanitizer, to account for the extra long times that the sanitizer can cause these to take. While here, we also changed the compat_ws test to avoid a particularly painful and time consuming DNS lookup, and we made the nngcat_unlimited test a bit more robust by waiting before sending traffic.
* fixes #474 websocket listen on ws://*:<x> failsGarrett D'Amore2018-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | fixes #464 Support NN_WS_MSG_TYPE option (compat) fixes #415 websocket does not honor recv maxsize This fixes a significant (and security) issue in websocket, where the code does not honor a maximum receive size. We've exposed new API (internal) to set the limit on the frame size, and we've changed the default to *unlimited* for that internal API. (But the default for SP sockets, which are the only consumers at present, is still 1MB just like all other SP transports.)

* fixes #431 hang in taskq_waitGarrett D'Amore2018-05-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | fixes #429 async websocket reap leads to crash This tightens up the code for shutdown, ensuring that transport callbacks are completely stopped before advancing to the next step of teardown of transport pipes or endpoints. It also fixes a problem where task_wait would sometimes get "stuck" as tasks transitioned between asynch and synchronous completions. Finally, it saves a few cycles by only calling a cancellation callback once during cancellation of an aio.
* 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 #308 Close can blockGarrett D'Amore2018-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ultimately, this just removes the support for lingering altogether. Based on prior experience, lingering has always been unreliable, and was removed in legacy libnanomsg ages ago. The problem is that operating system support for lingering is very inconsistent at best, and for some transports the very concept is somewhat meaningless. Making things worse, we were never able to adequately capture an exit() event from another thread -- so lingering was always a false promise. Applications that need to be sure that messages are delivered should either include an ack in their protocol, use req/rep (which has an ack), or inject a suitable delay of their own. For things going over local networks, an extra delay of 100 msec should be sufficient *most of the time*.

* fixes #317 TLS, TCP, and IPC should support multiple outstanding opsGarrett D'Amore2018-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fixes #22 Consider using synchronous completions sometimes Transport improvements for IPC, TCP, and TLS. This change does three things. First it permits multiple outstanding receives or sends on the transport. This change is being made to accomodate some other changes in the protocols where it might be advantageous to post send or receives directly against the transport pipe without going through another level of indirection. Second, it changes the normal completions to be performed synchronously. This translates into a rather major performance improvement, reducing latency by some 27%, and thereby improving performance altogether. (This elminates two extra context switches per transaction!) FInally, we can save some extra checks and conditions because we know that completions cannot happen if we don't have a pending operation (we no longer complete out of sequence), and we only call the dosend operation when we have something to send. This can eliminate some pipeline stalls.

* fixes #296 Typed options should validate option typeGarrett D'Amore2018-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | fixes #302 nng_dialer/listener/pipe_getopt_sockaddr desired This adds plumbing to pass and check the type of options all the way through. NNG_ZT_OPT_ORBIT is type UINT64, but you can use the untyped form to pass two of them if needed. No typed access for retrieving strings yet. I think this should allocate a pointer and copy that out, but that's for later.
* Fixes issues found by (and submitted by) @nonnenmacher when workingVincent Nonnenmacher2018-03-19

In particular, certain options are now of type bool, with size of just one. This is a *breaking* change for code that uses those options -- NNG_OPT_RAW, NNG_OPT_PAIR1_POLY, NNG_OPT_TLS_VERIFIED.

* fixes #269 nngcat unreliable with ZeroTier transportGarrett D'Amore2018-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This does a few things. First it closes a case where a dropped message could prevent subsequent connection attempts from getting through. Second, it changes the rate at which we retry, and the timeout, to be a lot more aggressive when attempting to establish a connection. We retry every 500 ms, for up to 2 minutes, before giving up. This gives a lot more resilience in the face of message loss that is typical of ZeroTier in some environments when first establishing communication. Third, makes the values for the connection attempts *tunable*, so that applications can adjust for different deployment scenarios. Fourth, it includes the ability to get the UDP socket name. This was needed during some debug, and may be useful for a real UDP transport later, so we're keeping it. Finally, we added documentation for the above items.

| | | | fixes #267 zerotier transport should lock ZT_HOME
* ZeroTier timestamps are signed now.Garrett D'Amore2018-03-05
| | | | | | | The dev branch changed, and the timestamps are signed. (They are also passed around using volatiles -- probably incorrectly so, but that is not important for us, the compiler understands that volatile is meaningless when passing values by value.)
* Remove stale ZeroTier RFC, update URL and link to correct one.Garrett D'Amore2018-03-05
| | | | | | | | The primary ZeroTier RFC is in the "rfcs" repository for nanomsg, and we should remove this one because it is stale and misleading. Also, the URI format is incorrect in the header so fix that, and point to the real ZeroTier RFC.
* fixes #262 NNG_OPT_URL should be resolvedGarrett D'Amore2018-03-04
| | | | | | | | This causes TCP, TLS, and ZT endpoints to resolve any wildcards, and even IP addresses, when reporting the listen URL. The dialer URL is reported unresolved. Test cases for this are added as well, and nngcat actually reports this if --verbose is supplied.

* Modularize HTTP headers somewhat.Garrett D'Amore2018-02-21
| | | | | | We move the HTTP definitions out of the core nng.h and into a supplemental header. Most of this change was trivial updates to all of the HTTP related manual pages.
* CMake & CPack improvements.Garrett D'Amore2018-02-21
| | | | | | | | | These are incremental updates... we avoid using install() in the subdirectories, so that we can adapt properly to them in the single parent directory. We have started some of the work to improve support for CPack. This is still not yet done, but work in progress.
* fixes #234 Investigate enabling more verbose compiler warningsGarrett D'Amore2018-02-14
| | | | | | | We enabled verbose compiler warnings, and found a lot of issues. Some of these were even real bugs. As a bonus, we actually save some initialization steps in the compat layer, and avoid passing some variables we don't need.
* fixes #171 Refactor aio to use generic data fieldsGarrett D'Amore2018-02-08
| | | | | | | | This addresses the use of the pipe special field, and eliminates it. The message APIs (recvmsg, sendmsg) need to be updated as well still, but I want to handle that as part of a separate issue. While here we fixed various compiler warnings, etc.
* 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 #221 zerotier URL format changesGarrett D'Amore2018-01-22
| | | | | | We are adopting a more standard URL format for zerotier, and making more use of the URL parsing common layer. While here we updated the docs to reflect correctly the URI syntax we are using everywhere.
* fixes #219 transports should take URL structure instead of string addressGarrett D'Amore2018-01-22
| | | | | | | | | | This eliminates a bunch of redundant URL parsing, using the common URL logic we already have in place. While here I fixed a problem with the TLS and WSS test suites that was failing on older Ubuntu -- apparently older versions of mbedTLS were unhappy if selecting OPTIONAL verification without a validate certificate chain.

| | | | | fixes #210 Want NNG_OPT_TLS_* options for TLS transport fixes #212 Eliminate a_endpt member of aio
* fixes #206 Want NNG_OPT_TLS_VERIFIED optionGarrett D'Amore2018-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is useful to have support for validating that a peer *was* verified, especially in the presence of optional validation. We have added a property that does this, NNG_OPT_TLS_VERIFIED. Further, all the old NNG_OPT_WSS_TLS_* property names have also been renamed to generic NNG_OPT_TLS property names, which have been moved to nng.h to facilitate reuse and sharing, with the comments moved and corrected as well. Finally, the man pages have been updated, with substantial improvements to the nng_ws man page in particular.
* fixes #201 TLS configuration should support files for certificates and keysGarrett D'Amore2018-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds support for configuration of TLS websockets using the files for keys, certificates, and CRLs. Significant changes to the websocket, TLS, and HTTP layers were made here. We now expect TLS configuration to be tied to the HTTP layer, and the HTTP code creates default configuration objects based on the URL supplied. (HTTP dialers and listeners are now created with a URL rather than a sockaddr, giving them access to the scheme as well.) We fixed several bugs affecting TLS validation, and added a test suite that confirms that validation works as it should. We also fixed an orphaned socket during HTTP negotiation, responsible for an occasional assertion error if the http handshake does not complete successfully. Finally several use-after-free races were closed. TLS layer changes include reporting of handshake failures using newly created "standard" error codes for peer authentication and cryptographic failures. The use of the '*' wild card in URLs at bind time is no longer supported for websocket at least. Documentation updates for all this are in place as well.
* Refactored file API.Garrett D'Amore2018-01-11
| | | | | | | | | This refactor of the file API provides a simpler and easier to use interface for our needs (and simpler to implement) in both the ZeroTier transport and the HTTP/TLS file accesses. It also removes some restrictions present on the old one, although it is still not suitable for working with large files. (It will work, just be very inefficient as the entire file must be loaded into memory.)
