This patch adapts the recent change about serializing the number of
simultaneous tls handshakes allowed to 1, so you can set the number in the
context creation info, and the accounting for it is handled by counters
same as the overally tls restriction.
The name of the context info var to control it changes to simultaneous_ssl_handshake_restriction
which is now a count, the default 0 means no limit.
The count rejects tls connection attempts when the tls borrow is attempted,
and separately hands back the hs borrow from the tls borrow when the
connection attempt fails or succeeds.
On some platforms AF_INET and AF_INET6 must be listened for on separate
sockets. Adapt the vhost server creation code to use the new support for
multiple listen sockets per vhost to create up to two listen sockets for
AF_INET and AF_INET6.
It refactors how the decision about the AF is made and propagated so
there's only one place for it.
Some platforms need two sockets with AF_INET and AF_INET6 to listen to both
protocols.
This patch changes the single listen socket each vhost could previously
handle to become an lws_dll2 and adapts the related code to handle them as
a linked-list rather than as a singleton.
The next patch adapts the listen / server code to create multiple listen
wsi for vhosts listening on multiple ip protocols.
There are a few build options that are trying to keep and report
various statistics
- DETAILED_LATENCY
- SERVER_STATUS
- WITH_STATS
remove all those and establish a generic rplacement, lws_metrics.
lws_metrics makes its stats available via an lws_system ops function
pointer that the user code can set.
Openmetrics export is supported, for, eg, prometheus scraping.
This is a huge patch that should be a global NOP.
For unix type platforms it enables -Wconversion to issue warnings (-> error)
for all automatic casts that seem less than ideal but are normally concealed
by the toolchain.
This is things like passing an int to a size_t argument. Once enabled, I
went through all args on my default build (which build most things) and
tried to make the removed default cast explicit.
With that approach it neither change nor bloat the code, since it compiles
to whatever it was doing before, just with the casts made explicit... in a
few cases I changed some length args from int to size_t but largely left
the causes alone.
From now on, new code that is relying on less than ideal casting
will complain and nudge me to improve it by warnings.
Currently we always reserve a fakewsi per pt so events that don't have a related actual
wsi, like vhost-protocol-init or vhost cert init via protocol callback can make callbacks
that look reasonable to user protocol handler code expecting a valid wsi every time.
This patch splits out stuff that user callbacks often unconditionally expect to be in
a wsi, like context pointer, vhost pointer etc into a substructure, which is composed
into struct lws at the top of it. Internal references (struct lws is opaque, so there
are only internal references) are all updated to go via the substructre, the compiler
should make that a NOP.
Helpers are added when fakewsi is used and referenced.
If not PLAT_FREERTOS, we continue to provide a full fakewsi in the pt as before,
although the helpers improve consistency by zeroing down the substructure. There is
a huge amount of user code out there over the last 10 years that did not always have
the minimal examples to follow, some of it does some unexpected things.
If it is PLAT_FREERTOS, that is a newer thing in lws and users have the benefit of
being able to follow the minimal examples' approach. For PLAT_FREERTOS we don't
reserve the fakewsi in the pt any more, saving around 800 bytes. The helpers then
create a struct lws_a (the substructure) on the stack, zero it down (but it is only
like 4 pointers) and prepare it with whatever we know like the context.
Then we cast it to a struct lws * and use it in the user protocol handler call.
In this case, the remainder of the struct lws is undefined. However the amount of
old protocol handlers that might touch things outside of the substructure in
PLAT_FREERTOS is very limited compared to legacy lws user code and the saving is
significant on constrained devices.
User handlers should not be touching everything in a wsi every time anyway, there
are several cases where there is no valid wsi to do the call with. Dereference of
things outside the substructure should only happen when the callback reason shows
there is a valid wsi bound to the activity (as in all the minimal examples).
This adds support for POST in both h1 and h2 queues / stream binding.
The previous queueing tried to keep the "leader" wsi who made the
actual connection around and have it act on the transaction queue
tail if it had done its own thing.
This refactors it so instead, who is the "leader" moves down the
queue and the queued guys inherit the fd, SSL * and queue from the
old leader as they take over.
This lets them operate in their own wsi identity directly and gets
rid of all the "effective wsi" checks, which was applied incompletely
and getting out of hand considering the separate lws_mux checks for
h2 and other muxed protocols alongside it.
This change also allows one wsi at a time to own the transaction for
POST. --post is added as an option to lws-minimal-http-client-multi
and 6 extra selftests with POST on h1/h2, pipelined or not and
staggered or not are added to the CI.
wsi timeout, wsi hrtimer, sequencer timeout and vh-protocol timer
all now participate on a single sorted us list.
The whole idea of polling wakes is thrown out, poll waits ignore the
timeout field and always use infinite timeouts.
Introduce a public api that can schedule its own callback from the event
loop with us resolution (usually ms is all the platform can do).
Upgrade timeouts and sequencer timeouts to also be able to use us resolution.
Introduce a prepared fakewsi in the pt, so we don't have to allocate
one on the heap when we need it.
Directly handle vh-protocol timer if LWS_MAX_SMP == 1
lws_dll2 removes the downsides of lws_dll and adds new features like a
running member count and explicit owner type... it's cleaner and more
robust (eg, nodes know their owner, so they can casually switch between
list owners and remove themselves without the code knowing the owner).
This deprecates lws_dll, but since it's public it allows it to continue
to be built for 4.0 release if you give cmake LWS_WITH_DEPRECATED_LWS_DLL.
All remaining internal users of lws_dll are migrated to lws_dll2.
