Hash :b627ad88 Message :be_filter: avoid data stuck under active watermarks
Suppose we have bufferevent filter attached to bufferevent socket.
Read high watermark for bufferevent filter is configured to 4096 bytes.
Socket receives 4343 bytes. Due to watermark, 4096 bytes are transferred
from socket input buffer to filter input buffer and 247 bytes are left
in bufferevent socket.
Suppose that no more data is received through socket.
At this point 247 bytes will sit forever in input buffer of bufferevent
socket.
The patch attached solves this issue registering read callback to
filter's input buffer if it reaches its read high water mark and data
was left in corresponding underlying's input buffer.
This read callback calls filter process input function as soon as filter
input buffer falls below its read high watermark and there still is data
left in underlying input buffer. Callback is deregistered as soon as
filter input buffer falls below its read high watermark.
