as there is no further use of isc_task in BIND, this commit removes
it, along with isc_taskmgr, isc_event, and all other related types.
functions that accepted taskmgr as a parameter have been cleaned up.
as a result of this change, some functions can no longer fail, so
they've been changed to type void, and their callers have been
updated accordingly.
the tasks table has been removed from the statistics channel and
the stats version has been updated. dns_dyndbctx has been changed
to reference the loopmgr instead of taskmgr, and DNS_DYNDB_VERSION
has been udpated as well.
Add new isc_hashmap API that differs from the current isc_ht API in
several aspects:
1. It implements Robin Hood Hashing which is open-addressing hash table
algorithm (e.g. no linked-lists)
2. No memory allocations - the array to store the nodes is made of
isc_hashmap_node_t structures instead of just pointers, so there's
only allocation on resize.
3. The key is not copied into the hashmap node and must be also stored
externally, either as part of the stored value or in any other
location that's valid as long the value is stored in the hashmap.
This makes the isc_hashmap_t a little less universal because of the key
storage requirements, but the inserts and deletes are faster because
they don't require memory allocation on isc_hashmap_add() and memory
deallocation on isc_hashmap_delete().
The netmgr_test unit test has been subdivided into tcp_test,
tcpdns_test, tls_test, tlsdns_test, and udp_test components.
These have been updated to use the new loopmgr.
Previously:
* applications were using isc_app as the base unit for running the
application and signal handling.
* networking was handled in the netmgr layer, which would start a
number of threads, each with a uv_loop event loop.
* task/event handling was done in the isc_task unit, which used
netmgr event loops to run the isc_event calls.
In this refactoring:
* the network manager now uses isc_loop instead of maintaining its
own worker threads and event loops.
* the taskmgr that manages isc_task instances now also uses isc_loopmgr,
and every isc_task runs on a specific isc_loop bound to the specific
thread.
* applications have been updated as necessary to use the new API.
* new ISC_LOOP_TEST macros have been added to enable unit tests to
run isc_loop event loops. unit tests have been updated to use this
where needed.
This commit introduces new APIs for applications and signal handling,
intended to replace isc_app for applications built on top of libisc.
* isc_app will be replaced with isc_loopmgr, which handles the
starting and stopping of applications. In isc_loopmgr, the main
thread is not blocked, but is part of the working thread set.
The loop manager will start a number of threads, each with a
uv_loop event loop running. Setup and teardown functions can be
assigned which will run when the loop starts and stops, and
jobs can be scheduled to run in the meantime. When
isc_loopmgr_shutdown() is run from any the loops, all loops
will shut down and the application can terminate.
* signal handling will now be handled with a separate isc_signal unit.
isc_loopmgr only handles SIGTERM and SIGINT for application
termination, but the application may install additional signal
handlers, such as SIGHUP as a signal to reload configuration.
* new job running primitives, isc_job and isc_async, have been added.
Both units schedule callbacks (specifying a callback function and
argument) on an event loop. The difference is that isc_job unit is
unlocked and not thread-safe, so it can be used to efficiently
run jobs in the same thread, while isc_async is thread-safe and
uses locking, so it can be used to pass jobs from one thread to
another.
* isc_tid will be used to track the thread ID in isc_loop worker
threads.
* unit tests have been added for the new APIs.
The unit tests are now using a common base, which means that
lib/dns/tests/ code now has to include lib/isc/include/isc/test.h and
link with lib/isc/test.c and lib/ns/tests has to include both libisc and
libdns parts.
Instead of cross-linking code between the directories, move the
/lib/<foo>/test.c to /tests/<foo>.c and /lib/<foo>/include/<foo>test.h
to /tests/include/tests/<foo>.h and create a single libtest.la
convenience library in /tests/.
At the same time, move the /lib/<foo>/tests/ to /tests/<foo>/ (but keep
it symlinked to the old location) and adjust paths accordingly. In few
places, we are now using absolute paths instead of relative paths,
because the directory level has changed. By moving the directories
under the /tests/ directory, the test-related code is kept in a single
place and we can avoid referencing files between libns->libdns->libisc
which is unhealthy because they live in a separate Makefile-space.
In the future, the /bin/tests/ should be merged to /tests/ and symlink
kept, and the /fuzz/ directory moved to /tests/fuzz/.
