From eventfd man page:
Applications can use an eventfd file descriptor instead of a pipe (see
pipe(2)) in all cases where a pipe is used simply to signal events.
The kernel overhead of an eventfd file descriptor is much lower than
that of a pipe, and only one file descriptor is required
(versus the two required for a pipe).
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.
Add selectable event lib support to minimal-http-client-multi and
clean up context destroy flow so we can use lws_destroy_context() from
inside the callback to indicate we want to end the event loop, without
using the traditional "interrupted" flag and in a way that works no
matter which event loop backend is being used.
Actually we are scheduling the first retry in case nothing comes
back from the server, it won't fail since it will allow at least
one retry, this being udp.

Currently the incoming ebuf is always replaced to point to either a whole
buflist segment, or up to the (pt_serv_buf - LWS_PRE) length in the pt_serv_buf.
This is called on path for handling http read... some user code reasonably wants to
restrict the read size to what it can handle.
Change the other lws_buflist_aware_read() callers to zero ebuf before calling, and for
those have it keep the current behaviour; but if non-NULL ebuf.token on incoming, as
in http read path case, restrict both reported len of buflist content and the read length
to the incoming ebuf.len so the user code can control what it will get at one time.
Additionally muxed protocol wsi have no choice but to read what was sent to them
since it's HOL-blocking for other streams and its own WINDOW_UPDATEs. So add an
internal param to lws_buflist_aware_read() forcing read even if buflist content
is available.
This provides support to build lws using the linkit 7697 public SDK
from here https://docs.labs.mediatek.com/resource/mt7687-mt7697/en/downloads
This toolchain has some challenges, its int32_t / uint32_t are long,
so assumptions about format strings for those being %u / %d / %x all
break. This fixes all the cases for the features enabled by the
default cmake settings.
Freertos + lwip doesn't support pipe2() or pipe()... implement a "pipe"
based on two UDP sockets, one listening on 127.0.0.1:54321 and the other
doing a sendto() there of a single byte to interrupt the event loop wait.
Re-use the arrangements for actual pipe fds and pipe role to deliver
lws_cancel_service() functionality using this.
There are some minor public api type improvements rather than cast everywhere
inside lws and user code to work around them... these changed from int to
size_t
- lws_buflist_use_segment() return
- lws_tokenize_t .len and .token_len
- lws_tokenize_cstr() length
- lws_get_peer_simple() namelen
- lws_get_peer_simple_fd() namelen, int fd -> lws_sockfd_type fd
- lws_write_numeric_address() len
- lws_sa46_write_numeric_address() len
These changes are typically a NOP for user code
In the case code is composed into a single process, but it isn't monolithic in the
sense it's made up of modular "applications" that are written separate projects,
provide a way for the "applications" to request a callback from the lws event loop
thread context safely.
From the callback the applications can set up their operations on the lws event
loop and drop their own thread.
Since it requires system-specific locking to be threadsafe, provide a non-threadsafe
helper and then indirect the actual usage through a user-defined lws_system ops
function pointer that wraps the unsafe api with the system locking to make it safe.
This changes the approach of tx credit management to set the
initial stream tx credit window to zero. This is the only way
with RFC7540 to gain the ability to selectively precisely rx
flow control incoming streams.
At the time the headers are sent, a WINDOW_UPDATE is sent with
the initial tx credit towards us for that specific stream. By
default, this acts as before with a 256KB window added for both
the stream and the nwsi, and additional window management sent
as stuff is received.
It's now also possible to set a member in the client info
struct and a new option LCCSCF_H2_MANUAL_RXFLOW to precisely
manage both the initial tx credit for a specific stream and
the ongoing rate limit by meting out further tx credit
manually.
Add another minimal example http-client-h2-rxflow demonstrating how
to force a connection's peer's initial budget to transmit to us
and control it during the connection lifetime to restrict the amount
of incoming data we have to buffer.
With light-on-dark terminal color schemes, 'black bold' (i.e. [30;1m) for
LLL_USER is illegible. I think this would be better as 'default bold' (i.e. [0;1m)
