MINOR: tcp_sample: clarifying samples support per os, for further expansion.
While there is some overlap between what each OS provides in terms of
retrievable info, each set is not a real subset of another one and this
results in increasing complexity when trying to add support for new OSes.
Let's just condition each item to the OS that support it. It's not pretty
but at least it will avoid a real mess later.
Note that fc_rtt and fc_rttvar are supported on any OS that has TCP_INFO,
not just linux/freebsd/netbsd, so we continue to expose them unconditionally.
BUG/MEDIUM: compression: Don't forget to update htx_sl and http_msg flags
If the response is compressed, we must update the HTX start-line flags and
the HTTP message flags. It is especially important if there is another
filter enabled. Otherwise, there is no way to know the C-L header was
removed and T-E one was added. Except by looping on headers.
This patch is related to the issue #1660. It must backported as far as 2.0
(for HTX part only).
BUG/MEDIUM: fcgi-app: Use http_msg flags to know if C-L header can be added
Instead of relying on the HTX start-line flags, it is better to rely on
http_msg flags to know if a content-length header can be added or not. In
addition, if the header is added, HTTP_MSGF_CNT_LEN flag must be added.
Because of this bug, an invalid message can be emitted when the response is
compressed because it may contain C-L and a T-E headers.
This patch should fix the issue #1660. It must be backported as far as 2.2.
BUG/MEDIUM: quic: properly clean frames on stream free
A released qc_stream_desc is freed as soon as all its buffer content has
been acknowledged. However, it may still contains other frames waiting
for ACK pointing to deleted buffer content. This can happen on
retransmission.
When freeing a qc_stream_desc, free all its frames in acked_frms tree to
fix memory leak. This may also possibly fix a crash on retransmission.
Now, the frames are properly removed from a packet. This ensure we do
not retransmit a frame whose buffer is deallocated.
BUG/MEDIUM: connection: Don't crush context pointer location if it is a CS
The issue only concerns the backend connection. The conn-stream is now owned
by the stream and persists during all the stream life. Thus we must not
crush it when the backend connection is released.
MINOR: extcheck: fill in the server's UNIX socket address when known
While it's often a pain to try to figure a UNIX socket address, the
server ones are reliable and may be emitted in the check provided
they are retrieved in time. We cannot rely on addr_to_str() because
it only reports "unix" since it may be used to log client addresses
or listener addresses (which are renamed).
The address length was extended to 256 chars to deal with long paths
as previously it was limited to INET6_ADDRSTRLEN+1.
This addresses github issue #101. There's no point backporting this,
external checks are almost never used.
CLEANUP: extcheck: do not needlessly preset the server's address/port
During the config parsing we preset the server's address and port, but
that's pointless since it's replaced during each check in order to deal
with the possibility that the address was changed since.
BUG/MEDIUM: stream: do not abort connection setup too early
Github issue #472 reports a problem with short client connections making
stick-table entries disappear. The problem is in fact totally different
and stems at the connection establishment step.
What happens is that the stick-table there has a single entry. The
"stick-on" directive is forced to purge an existing entry before being
able to create a new one. The new entry will be committed during the
call to process_store_rules() on the response path.
But if the client sends the FIN immediately after the connection is set
up (e.g. using nc -z) then the SHUTR is received and will cancel the
connection setup just after it starts. This cancellation will induce a
call to cs_shutw() which will in turn leave the server-side state in
ST_DIS. This transition from ST_CON to ST_DIS doesn't belong to the
list of handled transition during the connection setup so it will be
handled right after on the regular path, causing the connection to be
closed. Because of this, we never pass through back_establish() and
the backend's analysers are never set on the response channel, which
is why process_store_rules() is not called and the stick-tables entry
never committed.
The comment above the code that causes this transition clearly says
that the function is to be used after the connection is established
with the server, but there's no such protection, and we always have
the AUTO_CLOSE flag there (but there's hardly any available condition
to eliminate it).
This patch adds a test for the connection not being in ST_CON or for
option abortonclose being set. It's sufficient to do the job and it
should not cause issues.
One concern was that the transition could happen during cs_recv()
after the connection switches from CON to RDY then the read0 would
be taken into account and would cause DIS to appear, which is not
handled either. But that cannot happen because cs_recv() doesn't do
anything until it's in ST_EST state, hence the read0() cannot be
called from CON/RDY. Thus the transition from CON to DIS is only
possible in back_handle_st_con() and back_handle_st_rdy() both of
which are called when dealing with the transition already, or when
abortonclose is set and the client aborts before connect() succeeds.
It's possible that some further improvements could be made to detect
this specific transition but it doesn't seem like anything would have
to be added.
This issue was first reported on 2.1. The abortonclose area is very
sensitive so it would be wise to backport slowly, and probably no
further than 2.4.
BUILD: compiler: use a more portable set of asm(".weak") statements
The two recent patches b12966af1 ("BUILD: debug: mark the
__start_mem_stats/__stop_mem_stats symbols as weak") and 2a06e248f
("BUILD: initcall: mark the __start_i_* symbols as weak, not global")
aimed at fixing a build warning and resulted in a build breakage on
MacOS which doesn't have a ".weak" asm statement.
We've already had MacOS-specific asm() statements for section names, so
this patch continues on this trend by moving HA_GLOBL() to compiler.h
and using ".globl" on MacOS since apparently nobody complains there.
It is debatable whether to expose this only when !USE_OBSOLETE_LINKER
or all the time, but since these are just macroes it's no big deal to
let them be available when needed and let the caller decide on the
build conditions.
If any of the patches above is backported, this one will need to as
well.
BUILD: sched: workaround crazy and dangerous warning in Clang 14
Ilya reported in issue #1638 that Clang 14 has invented a new warning
that encourages to modify the code in a way that is not always
equivalent, by turning "|" to "||" between some logical operators,
except that the first one guarantees that all members of the expression
will always be evaluated while the latter will stop at the first one
which is true!
This warning triggers in thread_has_tasks(), which is not sensitive to
such change of behavior but which is built this way because it results
in branchless code for something that most often evaluates to false for
all terms. As such it was out of question to turn this to less efficient
compare-and-jump that needlessly pollute the branch predictor, so the
workaround consists in casting each expression to (int). It was verified
that the code is the same.
Yet another example of how-to-introduce-bugs-by-fixing-valid-code
through warnings invented around a beer without thinking longer!
This may need to be backported to a few older branches in case this
compiler lands in recent distros or if gcc finds it wise to imitate it.
MINOR: quic: emit CONNECTION_CLOSE on app init error
Emit a CONNECTION_CLOSE if the app layer cannot be properly initialized
on qc_xprt_start. This force the quic-conn to enter the closing state
before being closed.
Without this, quic-conn normal operations continue, despite the
app-layer reported as not initialized. This behavior is undefined, in
particular when handling STREAM frames.
BUG/MINOR: quic: fix return value for error in start
Fix the return value used in quic-conn start callback for error. The
caller expects a negative value in this case.
Without this patch, the quic-conn and the connection stack are not
closed despite an initialization failure error, which is an undefined
behavior and may cause a crash in the end.
BUG/MINOR: quic-sock: do not double free session on conn init failure
In the quic_session_accept, connection is in charge to call the
quic-conn start callback. If this callback fails for whatever reason,
there is a crash because of an explicit session_free.
This happens because the connection is now the owner of the session due
to previous conn_complete_session call. It will automatically calls
session_free. Fix this by skipping the session_free explicit invocation
on error.
In practice, currently this has never happened as there is only limited
cases of failures for conn_xprt_start for QUIC.
BUG/MINOR: mux-quic: prevent a crash in session_free on mux.destroy
Implement qc_destroy. This callback is used to quickly release all MUX
resources.
session_free uses this callback. Currently, it can only be called if
there was an error during connection initialization. If not defined, the
process crashes.
BUILD: http-client: Avoid dead code when compiled without SSL support
When an HTTP client is started on an HAProxy compiled without the SSL
support, an error is triggered when HTTPS is used. In this case, the freshly
created conn-stream is released. But this code is specific to the non-SSL
part. Thus it is moved the in right #if/#else section.
BUG/MEDIUM: mux-h1: Don't request more room on partial trailers
The commit 744451c7c ("BUG/MEDIUM: mux-h1: Properly detect full buffer cases
during message parsing") introduced a regression if trailers are not
received in one time. Indeed, in this case, nothing is appended in the
channel buffer, while there are some data in the input buffer. In this case,
we must not request more room to the upper layer, especially because the
channel buffer can be empty.
To fix the issue, on trailers parsing, we consider the H1 stream as
congested when the max size allowed is reached. Of course, the H1 stream is
also considered as congested if the trailers are too big and the channel
buffer is not empty.
This patch should fix the issue #1657. It must be backported as far as 2.0.
MINOR: muxes: Don't handle proto upgrade for muxes not supporting it
Several muxes (h2, fcgi, quic) don't support the protocol upgrade. For these
muxes, there is no reason to have code to support it. Thus in the destroy
callback, there is now a BUG_ON() and the release function is simplified
because the connection is always owned by the mux..
MINOR: muxes: Don't expect to have a mux without connection in destroy callback
Once a mux initialized, the underlying connection alwaus exists from its
point of view and it is never removed until the mux is released. It may be
owned by another mux during an upgrade. But the pointer remains set. Thus
there is no reason to test it in the destroy callback function.
BUG/MINOR: mux-h2: use timeout http-request as a fallback for http-keep-alive
The doc states that timeout http-keep-alive is not set, timeout http-request
is used instead. As implemented in commit 15a4733d5 ("BUG/MEDIUM: mux-h2:
make use of http-request and keep-alive timeouts"), we use http-keep-alive
unconditionally between requests, with a fallback on client/server. Let's
make sure http-request is always used as a fallback for http-keep-alive
first.
This needs to be backported wherever the commit above is backported.
BUG/MINOR: mux-h2: do not use timeout http-keep-alive on backend side
Commit 15a4733d5 ("BUG/MEDIUM: mux-h2: make use of http-request and
keep-alive timeouts") omitted to check the side of the connection, and
as a side effect, automatically enabled timeouts on idle backend
connections, which is totally contrary to the principle that they
must be autonomous.
This needs to be backported wherever the patch above is backported.
BUILD: initcall: mark the __start_i_* symbols as weak, not global
Just like for previous fix, these symbols are marked ".globl" during
their declaration, but their later mention uses __attribute__((weak)),
so it's better to only use ".weak" during the declaration so that the
symbol's class does not change.
No need to backport this unless someone reports build issues.
BUILD: debug: mark the __start_mem_stats/__stop_mem_stats symbols as weak
Building with clang and DEBUG_MEM_STATS shows the following warnings:
warning: __start_mem_stats changed binding to STB_WEAK [-Wsource-mgr]
warning: __stop_mem_stats changed binding to STB_WEAK [-Wsource-mgr]
The reason is that the symbols are declared using ".globl" while they
are also referenced as __attribute__((weak)) elsewhere. It turns out
that a weak symbol is implicitly a global one and that the two classes
are exclusive, thus it may confuse the linker. Better fix this.
BUG/MINOR: quic: Avoid starting the mux if no ALPN sent by the client
If the client does not sent an ALPN, the SSL ALPN negotiation callback
is not called. However, the handshake is reported as successful. Check
just after SSL_do_handshake if an ALPN was negotiated. If not, emit a
CONNECTION_CLOSE with a TLS alert to close the connection.
This prevent a crash in qcc_install_app_ops() called with null as second
parameter value.
MINOR: mux-h1: Rely on the endpoint instead of the conn-stream when possible
Instead of testing if a conn-stream exists or not, we rely on CS_EP_ORPHAN
endpoint flag. In addition, if possible, we access the endpoint from the
h1s. Finally, the endpoint flags are now reported in trace messages.
MINOR: conn-stream: Use a dedicated function to conditionally remove a CS
cs_free_cond() must now be used to remove a CS. cs_free() may be used on
error path to release a freshly allocated but unused CS. But in all other
cases cs_free_cond() must be used. This function takes care to release the
CS if it is possible (no app and detached from any endpoint).
In fact, this function is only used internally. From the outside,
cs_detach_* functions are used.
MEDIUM: check: Use a new conn-stream for each health-check run
It is a partial revert of 54e85cbfc ("MAJOR: check: Use a persistent
conn-stream for health-checks"). But with the CS refactoring, the result is
cleaner now. A CS is allocated when a new health-check run is started. The
same CS is then used throughout the run. If there are several connections,
the endpoint is just reset. At the end of the run, the CS is released. It
means, in the tcp-check part, the CS is always defined.
MEDIUM: stream: Don't use the stream-int anymore in process_stream()
process_stream() and all associated functions now manipulate conn-streams.
stream-interfaces are no longer used. In addition, function to dump info
about a stream no longer print info about stream-interfaces.
MEDIUM: stream-int/conn-stream: Move I/O functions to conn-stream
cs_conn_io_cb(), cs_conn_sync_recv() and cs_conn_sync_send() are moved in
conn_stream.c. Associated functions are moved too (cs_notify, cs_conn_read0,
cs_conn_recv, cs_conn_send and cs_conn_process).
MEDIUM: stream-int/conn-stream: Move blocking flags from SI to CS
Remaining flags and associated functions are move in the conn-stream
scope. These flags are added on the endpoint and not the conn-stream
itself. This way it will be possible to get them from the mux or the
applet. The functions to get or set these flags are renamed accordingly with
the "cs_" prefix and updated to manipualte a conn-stream instead of a
stream-interface.
MINOR: conn-stream: Move si_conn_cb in the conn-stream scope
si_conn_cb variable is renamed cs_data_conn_cb. In addtion, its associated
functions are also renamed. si_cs_recv(), si_cs_send() and si_cs_process() are
renamed cs_conn_recv(), cs_conn_send and cs_conn_process(). These functions are
updated to manipulate conn-streams instead of stream-interfaces.
MEDIUM: conn-stream/applet: Add a data callback for applets
data callbacks were only used for streams attached to a connection and
for health-checks. However there is a callback used by task_run_applet. So,
si_applet_wake_cb() is first renamed to cs_applet_process() and it is
defined as the data callback for streams attached to an applet. This way,
this part now manipulates a conn-stream instead of a stream-interface. In
addition, applets are no longer handled as an exception for this part.
MINOR: stream-int/stream: Move si_update_both in stream scope
si_update_both() is renamed stream_update_both_cs() and moved in stream.c.
The function is slightly changed to manipulate the stream instead the front
and back conn-streams.
MINOR: stream-int-conn-stream: Move si_update_* in conn-stream scope
si_update_rx(), si_update_tx() and si_update() are renamed cs_update_rx(),
cs_upate_tx() and cs_update() and updated to manipulate a conn-stream
instead of a stream-interface.
REORG: stream-int: Export si_cs_recv(), si_cs_send() and si_cs_process()
It is a transient commit. It should ease next changes about the conn-stream
refactoring. At the end these functions will be moved in the conn-stream
scope.
MINOR: applet: Use the CS to register and release applets instead of SI
si_register_applet() and si_applet_release() are renamed
cs_register_applet() and cs_applet_release() and now manipulate a
conn-stream instead of a stream-inteface.
MINOR: stream-int/conn-stream: Move si_shut* and si_chk* in conn-stream scope
si_shutr(), si_shutw(), si_chk_rcv() and si_chk_snd() are moved in the
conn-stream scope and renamed, respectively, cs_shutr(), cs_shutw(),
cs_chk_rcv(), cs_chk_snd() and manipulate a conn-stream instead of a
stream-interface.
MINOR: conn-stream: Rename CS functions dedicated to connections
Some conn-stream functions are only used when there is a connection. Thus,
they was renamed with "cs_conn_" prefix. In addition, we expect to have a
connection, so a BUG_ON is added to be sure the functions are never called
in another context.
MEDIUM: stream-int/conn-stream: Handle I/O subscriptions in the conn-stream
wait_event structure is moved in the conn-stream. The tasklet is only
created if the conn-stream is attached to a mux and released when the mux is
detached. This implies a subtle change. In stream_int_chk_rcv() function,
the wakeup of the tasklet was removed because there is no longer tasklet at
this stage (stream_int_chk_rcv() is a callback function of si_embedded_ops).
MEDIUM: conn-stream: Be prepared to fail to attach a cs to a mux
To be able to move wait_event from the stream-interface to the conn-stream,
we must be prepare to handle errors when a mux is attached to a conn-stream.
Indeed, the wait_event's tasklet will be allocated when both a mux and a
stream will be both attached to a stream. So, we must be prepared to handle
allocation errors.
MINOR: conn-stream/connection: Move SHR/SHW modes in the connection scope
These flags only concerns the connection part. In addition, it is required
for a next commit, to avoid circular deps. Thus CS_SHR_* and CS_SHW_* were
renamed with the "CO_" prefix.
MINOR: stream-int/backend: Move si_connect() in the backend scope
si_connect() is moved in backend.c and renamed as do_connect_server(). In
addition, the function now manipulate a stream instead of a
stream-interface.
MINOR: stream-int/stream: Move si_retnclose() in the stream scope
si_retnclose() is used to send a reply to a client before closing. There is
no use on the server side, in spite of the function is generic. Thus, it is
renamed stream_retnclose() and moved into the stream scope. The function now
handle a stream and explicitly send a message to the client.
MEDIUM: stream-int/conn-stream: Move stream-interface state in the conn-stream
The stream-interface state (SI_ST_*) is now in the conn-stream. It is a
mechanical replacement for now. Nothing special. SI_ST_* and SI_SB_* were
renamed accordingly. Utils functions to manipulate these infos were moved
under the conn-stream scope.
But it could be good to keep in mind that this part should be
reworked. Indeed, at the CS level, we only need to know if it is ready to
receive or to send. The state of conn-stream from INI to EST is only used on
the server side. The client CS is immediately set to EST. Thus current
SI_ST_* states should probably be moved to the stream to reflect the server
connection state during the establishment stage.
MEDIUM: stream-int: Move SI err_type in the stream
Only the server side is concerned by the stream-interface error type. It is
useless to have an err_type field on the client side. So, it is now move to
the stream. SI_ET_* are renames STRM_ET_* and moved in stream-t.h header
file.
MINOR: stream: Only save previous connection state for the server side
The previous connection state on the client side was only used for debugging
purpose to report client close. But this may be handled when the client
stream-interface is switched from SI_ST_DIS to SI_ST_CLO.
So, there only remains the previous connection state on the server side that
is used by the stream, in process_stream(), to be able to set the correct
termination flags. Thus, instead of keeping this info in the
stream-interface for only one side, the info is now stored in the stream
itself.
MINOR: stream-int: Remove SI_FL_SRC_ADDR to rely on stream flags instead
Flag to get the source ip/port with getsockname is now handled at the stream
level. Thus SI_FL_SRC_ADDR stream-int flag is replaced by SF_SRC_ADDR stream
flag.
MINOR: stream-int: Remove SI_FL_INDEP_STR to rely on CS flags instead
Flag to consider a stream as indepenent is now handled at the conn-stream
level. Thus SI_FL_INDEP_STR stream-int flag is replaced by CS_FL_INDEP_STR
conn-stream flags.
MINOR: stream-int: Remove SI_FL_DONT_WAKE to rely on CS flags instead
Flag to not wake the stream up on I/O is now handled at the conn-stream
level. Thus SI_FL_DONT_WAKE stream-int flag is replaced by CS_FL_DONT_WAKE
conn-stream flags.
MINOR: stream-int: Remove SI_FL_NOLINGER/NOHALF to rely on CS flags instead
Flags to disable lingering and half-close are now handled at the conn-stream
level. Thus SI_FL_NOLINGER and SI_FL_NOHALF stream-int flags are replaced by
CS_FL_NOLINGER and CS_FL_NOHALF conn-stream flags.
MINOR: stream-int: Remove SI_FL_KILL_CON to rely on conn-stream endpoint only
Instead of setting a stream-interface flag to then set the corresponding
conn-stream endpoint flag, we now only rely the conn-stream endoint. Thus
SI_FL_KILL_CON is replaced by CS_EP_KILL_CONN.
In addition si_must_kill_conn() is replaced by cs_must_kill_conn().
MEDIUM: conn-stream: Use endpoint error instead of conn-stream error
Instead of relying on the conn-stream error, via CS_FL_ERR flags, we now
directly use the error at the endpoint level with the flag CS_EP_ERROR. It
should be safe to do so. But we must be careful because it is still possible
that an error is processed too early. Anyway, a conn-stream has always a
valid endpoint, maybe detached from any endpoint, but valid.
MINOR: stream-int/conn-stream: Report error to the CS instead of the SI
SI_FL_ERR is removed and replaced by CS_FL_ERROR. It is a transient patch
because the idea is to rely on the endpoint to handle errors at this
level. But if for any reason it is not possible, the stream-interface flags
will still be replaced.
MEDIUM: stream-int/stream: Use connect expiration instead of SI expiration
The expiration date in the stream-interface was only used on the server side
to set the connect, queue or turn-around timeout. It was checked on the
frontend stream-interface, but never used concretely. So it was removed and
replaced by a connect expiration date in the stream itself. Thus, SI_FL_EXP
flag in stream-interfaces is replaced by a stream flag, SF_CONN_EXP.
MEDIUM: stream-int/conn-stream: Move src/dst addresses in the conn-stream
The source and destination addresses at the applicative layer are moved from
the stream-interface to the conn-stream. This simplifies a bit the code and
it is a logicial step to remove the stream-interface.
The conn_retries counter was set to the max value and decremented at each
connection retry. Thus the counter reflected the number of retries left and
not the real number of retries. All calculations of redispatch or reporting
of number of retries experienced were made using subtracts from the
configured retries, which was complicated and didn't bring any benefit.
Now, this counter is set to 0 and incremented at each retry. We know we've
reached the maximum allowed connection retries by comparing it to the
configured value. In all other cases, we directly use the counter.
This patch should address the feature request #1608.
MINOR: stream-int/stream: Move conn_retries counter in the stream
The conn_retries counter may be moved into the stream structure. It only
concerns the connection establishment. The frontend stream-interface does not
use it. So it is a logical change.
MINOR: stream-int/txn: Move buffer for L7 retries in the HTTP transaction
The L7 retries only concerns the stream when a server connection is
established. Thus instead of storing the L7 buffer into the
stream-interface, it may be moved to the stream. And because it is only
available for HTTP streams, it may be moved in the HTTP transaction.
Associated flags are also moved into the HTTP transaction.
MEDIUM: tree-wide: Use CS util functions instead of SI ones
At many places, we now use the new CS functions to get a stream or a channel
from a conn-stream instead of using the stream-interface API. It is the
first step to reduce the scope of the stream-interfaces. The main change
here is about the applet I/O callback functions. Before the refactoring, the
stream-interface was the appctx owner. Thus, it was heavily used. Now, as
far as possible,the conn-stream is used. Of course, it remains many calls to
the stream-interface API.
MINOR: conn-stream: Add header file with util functions related to conn-streams
cs_utils.h header file will contain all util functions related to the
conn_streams. For now, few functions were added, all are equivalent to SI
functions. Idea is to progressively replace SI functions by CS ones.
CS_FL_ISBACK is a new flag, set on backend conn-streams. We must just be
careful to preserve this flag when the endpoint is detached from the
conn-stream.
MINOR: mux-pt: Rely on the endpoint instead of the conn-stream when possible
Instead of testing if a conn-stream exists or not, we rely on CS_EP_ORPHAN
endpoint flag. In addition, if possible, we access the endpoint from the
mux_pt context. Finally, the endpoint flags are now reported in trace
messages.
MEDIUM: conn-stream: Move remaning flags from CS to endpoint
All old flags CS_FL_* are now moved in the endpoint scope and renamed
CS_EP_* accordingly. It is a systematic replacement. There is no true change
except for the health-check and the endpoint reset. Here it is a bit special
because the same conn-stream is reused. Thus, we must handle endpoint
allocation errors. To do so, cs_reset_endp() has been adapted.
Thanks to this last change, it will now be possible to simplify the
multiplexer and probably the applets too. A review must also be performed to
remove some flags in the channel or the stream-interface. The HTX will
probably be simplified too. Finally, there is now some place in the
conn-stream to move info from the stream-interface.
MAJOR: conn-stream: Share endpoint struct between the CS and the mux/applet
The conn-stream endpoint is now shared between the conn-stream and the
applet or the multiplexer. If the mux or the applet is created first, it is
responsible to also create the endpoint and share it with the conn-stream.
If the conn-stream is created first, it is the opposite.
When the endpoint is only owned by an applet or a mux, it is called an
orphan endpoint (there is no conn-stream). When it is only owned by a
conn-stream, it is called a detached endpoint (there is no mux/applet).
The last entity that owns an endpoint is responsible to release it. When a
mux or an applet is detached from a conn-stream, the conn-stream
relinquishes the endpoint to recreate a new one. This way, the endpoint
state is never lost for the mux or the applet.
MEDIUM: conn-stream: Pre-allocate endpoint to create CS from muxes and applets
It is a transient commit to prepare next changes. Now, when a conn-stream is
created from an applet or a multiplexer, an endpoint is always provided. In
addition, the API to create a conn-stream was specialized to have one
function per type.
The next step will be to share the endpoint structure.
MEDIUM: conn-stream: Be able to pass endpoint to create a conn-stream
It is a transient commit to prepare next changes. It is possible to pass a
pre-allocated endpoint to create a new conn-stream. If it is NULL, a new
endpoint is created, otherwise the existing one is used. There no more
change at the conn-stream level.
In the applets, all conn-stream are created with no pre-allocated
endpoint. But for multiplexers, an endpoint is systematically created before
creating the conn-stream.
MINOR: conn-stream: Move some CS flags to the endpoint
Some CS flags, only related to the endpoint, are moved into the endpoint
struct. More will probably moved later. Those ones are not critical. So it
is pretty safe to move them now and this will ease next changes.
MEDIUM: conn-stream: Add an endpoint structure in the conn-stream
Group the endpoint target of a conn-stream, its context and the associated
flags in a dedicated structure in the conn-stream. It is not inlined in the
conn-stream structure. There is a dedicated pool.
For now, there is no complexity. It is just an indirection to get the
endpoint or its context. But the purpose of this structure is to be able to
share a refcounted context between the mux and the conn-stream. This way, it
will be possible to preserve it when the mux is detached from the
conn-stream.
