When lws_write as many bytes as user can until function returns not all sent,
the next user`s lws_write call will write wrong frame to the other end. This
will cause connection be close by the other side.
Pre-sul, checking for interval to next pending scheduled event was expensive and
iterative, so the service avoided it if the wait was already 0.
With sul though, the internal "check" function also services ripe events and
removes them, and finding the interval to the next one is really cheap.
Rename the "check" function to __lws_sul_service_ripe() to make it clear it's
not just about returning the interval to the next pending one. And call it
regardless of if we already decided we are not going to wait in the poll.
After https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/pull/1745
External poll support generates a lot of messages on a busy system
for no value unless you're one of the few people using it. It's
not recommended for new users and is there for backwards compatibility.
Make it not built by default and selectable by cmake option.
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
There are quite a few linked-lists of things that want events after
some period. This introduces a type binding an lws_dll2 for the
list and a lws_usec_t for the duration.
The wsi timeouts, the hrtimer and the sequencer timeouts are converted
to use these, also in the common event wait calculation.
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.
Adapt service loops and event libs to use microsecond waits
internally, for hrtimer and sequencer. Reduce granularity
according to platform / event lib wait.
Add a helper so there's a single place to extend it.
Since the messages are queued and then read in order from the event loop
thread, it's not generally safe to pass pointers to argument structs,
since there's no guarantee the lifetime of the thing sending the message
lasted until the sequencer read the message.
This puts pressure on the single void * argument-passed-as-value... this patch
adds a second void * argument-passed-as-value so it's more possible to put
what's needed directly in the argument.
It's also possible to alloc the argument on the heap and have the sequencer
callback free it after it has read it.
Add a generic table-based backoff scheme and a helper to track the
try count and calculate the next delay in ms.
Allow lws_sequencer_t to be given one of these at creation time...
since the number of creation args is getting a bit too much
convert that to an info struct at the same time.
The logic in the loops for insertion and deletion from the
mini, forced to non ulimit max fds in the pt mode was not
quite right.
It showed up in hard to reproduce problem with the ws client
spam test that uses the mini mode, on travis. This should
fix the root cause.
