Sebastian Hahn e4a56ed5 2012-01-31T18:58:59 Fix a compile warning in event_reinit Introduced in 272033efe575a9dc7ec6f123a96afba5c69ff1c6
Nick Mathewson 2c4b5de1 2012-01-27T14:30:41 Restore fast-path event_reinit() for slower backends We used to use the needs_reinit flag in struct eventop to indicate whether an event backend had shared state across a fork(), and therefore would require us to construct a new event backend. But when we realized that the signal notification fds and the thread notification fds would always be shared across forks, we stopped looking at it. This patch restores the old behavior so that poll, select, and win32select don't need to do a linear scan over all pending fds/signals when they do a reinit. Their life is hard enough already.
Nick Mathewson 272033ef 2012-01-27T13:54:05 Make event_reinit() more robust and maintainable Previously, event_reinit required a bunch of really dubious hacks, and violated a lot of abstraction barriers to mess around with lists of internal events and "pretend" to re-add them. The new (and fairly well commented!) implementation tries to be much smarter, by isolating the changes as much as possible to the backend state, and minimizing the amount of abstraction violations. Specifically, we now use event_del() to remove events we want to remove, rather than futzing around with queues in event_reinit(). To avoid bogus calls to evsel->del(), we temporarily replace evsel with a null-object stub. Also, we now push the responsibility for calling evsel->add() down into the evmap code, so that we don't actually need to unlink and re-link all of our events.

Nick Mathewson 3f18ad1b 2012-01-23T18:15:44 Fix a fd leak in event_reinit() We were supposed to be closing the ev_signal_pair sockets.
Nick Mathewson 6e41cdc1 2012-01-23T17:59:16 Fix a list corruption bug when using event_reinit() with signals present While re-adding all the events, event_reinit() could add a signal event, which could then cause evsig_add() to add the base->sig.ev_signal event. Later on its merry path through base->eventqueue, event_reinit() would find that same event and give it to event_io_add a second time. This would make the ev_io_next list for that fd become circular. Ouch!
Nick Mathewson 27737d55 2012-01-21T12:55:15 Add function to check referential integrity of an event_base

Nick Mathewson f0325167 2012-01-09T11:33:38 Remove bogus casts of socket to int before calling ev_callback This should make 64-bit windows act better. Found by Mark Heily.
Nick Mathewson 35c5c955 2011-12-07T11:49:52 Bypass event_add when using event_base_once() for a 0-sec timeout Some people use event_base_once(EV_TIMEOUT) to make a callback get called "immediately". But this is pretty roundabout: it uses the timeout heap to immediately put the event onto the active queue, when it could just use event_active. Additionally, it can lead to surprising re-ordering behavior. This patch changes event_base_once so it bypasses event_add() and called event_active() directly on a pure-timeout event with an empty timeout.

Nick Mathewson 11f36a5f 2011-12-05T15:02:27 Be absolutely sure to clear pncalls before leaving event_signal_closure I thought we'd fixed the cases where this could come up, but apparently having an event_base_break() happen while processing signal events could get us in trouble.

Abel Mathew 212533e4 2011-10-21T19:53:32 New event_base_update_cache_time() to set cached_tv to current time This function is particularly useful for selectively increasing the accuracy of the cached time value in 'base' during callbacks that take a long time to execute. This function has no effect if the base is currently not in its event loop or if timeval caching is disabled via EVENT_BASE_FLAG_NO_CACHE_TIME.
Mansour Moufid c8953d1b 2011-10-14T17:16:03 Add argument checks to some memory functions in `event.c'. Add a zero check to the function `event_mm_malloc_', i.e. simply return NULL if the sz argument is zero. On failure, set errno to ENOMEM and return NULL. Add a zero check to the function `event_mm_calloc_', i.e. simply return NULL if either argument is zero. Also add an unsigned integer multiplication check, and if an integer overflow would occur, set errno to ENOMEM and return NULL. On failure, set errno to ENOMEM and return NULL. Add a NULL check to the function `event_mm_strdup_', i.e. set errno to EINVAL and return NULL. Also add an unsigned integer addition check, and if an integer overflow would occur, set errno to ENOMEM and return NULL. If a memory allocation error occurs, again set errno to ENOMEM and return NULL. Add unit tests to `test/regress_util.c'.

Nick Mathewson b683cae3 2011-04-22T12:01:25 Avoid race-condition when initializing global locks Previously, we did stuff like if (!lock) EVTHREAD_ALLOC_LOCK(lock,0); for the evsig base global lock, the arc4random lock, and the debug_map lock. But that's potentially racy! Instead, we move the responisiblity for global lock initialization to the functions where we set up the lock callbacks. (Rationale: We already require that you set up the locking callbacks before you create any event_base, and that you do so exatly once.)
Nick Mathewson 2a83ecc8 2011-03-07T23:01:54 In the 2.1 branch, let's try out lazy gettimeofday/clock_gettime comparison For now, we'll only check for gettimeofday jumps once every 5 seconds. Let's see how that works. This reverts commit 5209fadfd07af3f3379ac607582c37933b33e044.

Nick Mathewson 77a96fd9 2011-02-02T20:09:16 Remove a needless base-notify when rescheduling the first timeout We don't need to wake up the base when rescheduling the timeout that will expire first: the base will already wake up, see that nothing is ready, and go back to sleep.

Nick Mathewson 0617a818 2010-11-14T19:25:54 Make EVLOOP_ONCE ignore internal events Merely getting an internal notification event from having an event added or deleted from another thread should not cause event_base_loop(base, EVLOOP_ONCE) to exit; previously, it did.

Nick Mathewson 90651b32 2010-09-17T00:24:50 Put internal events at highest priority (If we allow user events to starve internal events, then internal events never actually happen, signals don't get acked, etc)
Nick Mathewson 720bd933 2010-09-15T01:08:39 Warn when using the error-prone EV_SIGNAL interface in an error-prone way. Also, fix a couple of race conditions in signal.c When using the signal.c signal backend, Libevent currently only allows one event_base to actually receive signals at a time. (This has been the behavior since at least 1.4 and probably much earlier.) Now, we detect and warn if you're likely to be racing about which signal goes to which thread. We also add a lock to control modifications of the evsig_base field, to avoid race conditions like those found by Jason Toffaletti. Also, more comments. Comments are good.

Nick Mathewson 4632b78e 2010-09-08T13:22:55 Minimize calls to base_notify implementation functions, thereby avoiding needless syscalls The trick here is that if we already told the base to wake up, and it hasn't woken up yet, we don't need to tell it to wake up again. This should help lots with inherently multithreaded code like IOCP.
Nick Mathewson c7a06bfa 2010-09-08T13:02:58 Avoid needlessly calling evthread_notify_base() when the loop is not running Also make sure that we always hold the base lock when calling evthread_notify_base.
Christopher Davis 17a14f1a 2010-09-01T11:04:57 Only process up to MAX_DEFERRED deferred_cbs at a time. If threads queue callbacks while event_process_deferred_callbacks is running, the loop may spin long enough to significantly skew timers. A unit test stressing this behavior is also in this commit.
Christopher Davis 2447fe88 2010-08-28T04:07:48 Add event_config_set_num_cpus_hint for tuning thread pools, etc.
Christopher Davis 76f7e7ae 2010-08-17T05:02:00 Some IOCP bufferevent tweaks. - Increment reference count of bufferevents before initiating overlapped operations to prevent the destructor from being called while operations are pending. The only portable way of canceling overlapped ops is to close the socket. - Translate error codes to WSA* codes. - Better handling of errors. - Add an interface to add and del "virtual" events. Because IOCP bufferevents don't register any events with the base, the event loop has no way of knowing they exist. This causes the loop to terminate prematurely. event_base_{add,del}_virtual increment/decrement base's event count so the loop runs while there are any enabled IOCP bufferevents.
Christopher Davis d844242f 2010-08-28T02:08:27 Stop IOCP when freeing the event_base.
Nick Mathewson 495ed667 2010-09-01T16:36:30 Close th_notify_fds and open a new pair on reinit After a fork, you want subthreads to wake up the event_base in the child process, not to have the child process and the main process fight over who wakes up whom. Related to a problem found by Nicholas Marriott while debugging 3048812.
Nick Mathewson d61b2f33 2010-08-26T15:09:58 Fix an issue with forking and signal socketpairs in select/poll backends Nicholas Marriott identifies an issue where a signal socketpair doesn't get recreated if the event backend doesn't set event_reinit. See bug 3048812 There may be a similar issue with respect to th_notify_fd
Nick Mathewson f1074b77 2010-08-23T12:01:45 Detect events with no ev_base; warn instead of crashing
Nick Mathewson e0972c21 2010-08-17T13:18:18 Use conditions instead of current_event_lock to fix a deadlock. Avi Bab correctly noted as bug 3044479 the fact that any thread blocking on current_event_lock will do so while holding th_base_lock, making it impossible for the currently running event's callback to call any other functions that require th_base_lock. This patch switches the current_event_lock code to instead use a condition variable that we wait on if we're trying to mess with a currently-executing event, and that we signal when we're done executing a callback if anybody is waiting on it.
Nick Mathewson ec347b92 2010-07-07T16:45:03 Move event-config.h to include/event2 This change means that all required include files are in event2, and all files not in event2/* are optional.
Nick Mathewson 42a8c711 2010-07-31T17:10:04 Build more cleanly with NetBSDs that dislike toupper(char) To be fair, when char can be signed, if toupper doesn't take negative characters, toupper(char) is a very bad idea. So let's just use the nice safe EVUTIL_TOUPPER instead. (It explicitly only upcases ASCII, but we only use it for identifiers that we know to be ASCII anyway).
Nick Mathewson fc5e0a23 2010-07-05T14:39:39 Don't race when calling event_active/event_add on a running signal event There was previously no lock protecting the signal event's ev_ncalls/ev_pncalls fields, which were accessed by all of event_signal_closure, event_add_internal, event_del_internal, and event_active_nolock. This patch fixes this race by using the current_event_lock in the same way it's used to prevent event_del_internal from touching an event that's currently running.
Nick Mathewson 61e1eeec 2010-07-05T13:24:45 Tidy up the code in evthread_make_base_notifiable a little Previously, we had a few conditional statements with the "if (...)" inside an #ifdef and the body outside. That kind of thing is hard to read.
Nick Mathewson a5bc15b2 2010-07-05T13:24:12 Drain th_notify_fd[0] more bytes at a time.
Nick Mathewson 17522d2a 2010-07-05T13:17:47 Fix a deadlock related to event-base notification. Diagnosed by Zhou Li, Avi Bab, and Scott Lamb. The problem was that the thread doing the notification could block on write in evthread_notify_base_default while holding the th_base_lock. The main thread would never drain th_notify_fd[0], since it would need th_base_lock to actually trigger events.
Nick Mathewson 6d195109 2010-05-13T14:59:33 Avoid event_del on uninitialized event in event_base_free This was mostly harmless, since the event was cleared with calloc, but still it's not a correct thing to do.
Nick Mathewson c16e6844 2010-05-04T13:27:36 Rename current_base symbol to event_global_current_base_ The "current_base" symbol was never actually declared in an exported header; it's hideously deprecated, and it was the one remaining exported symbol (fwict) that was prefixed with neither ev nor bufferevent nor _ev nor _bufferevent. codesearch.google.com turns up no actual attempts to use our current_base from outside libevent.
Nick Mathewson 99e50e90 2010-05-04T12:57:40 Fix symbol conflict between mm_*() macros and libmm Our mm_malloc, mm_calloc, etc functions were all exported, since C hasn't got a nice portable way to say "we want to use this function inside our library but not export it to others". But they apparently conflict with anything else that calls its symbols mm_*, as libmm does. This patch renames the mm_*() functions to event_mm_*_(, and defines maros in mm_internal so that all the code we have that uses mm_*() will still work. New code should also prefer the mm_*() macro names. Reported by Gernot Tenchio. Fixes sf bug 2996541
Frank Denis 71afc525 2010-05-03T11:37:16 Fix nonstandard TAILQ_FOREACH_REVERSE() definition Every current BSD system providing TAILQ_* macros define TAILQ_FOREACH_REVERSE in this order: TAILQ_FOREACH_REVERSE(var, head, field, headname) However, libevent defines it in another order: TAILQ_FOREACH_REVERSE(var, head, headname, field) Here's a trivial patch to have libevent compatible with stock queue.h headers. -Frank. [From sourceforge patch 2995179. codesearch.google.com confirms that the only people defining TAILQ_FOREACH_REVERSE our way are people using it in a compatibility header like us. Did we copy this from OpenSSH or something?] -Nick
Nick Mathewson 9ecf0d48 2010-04-28T12:03:08 Catch attempts to enable debug_mode too late Debug mode needs to be enabled before any event is setup or any event_base is created. Otherwise, we will not have recorded when events were first setup or added, and so it will look like a bug later when we delete or free them. I have already confused myself because of this requirement, so let's make Libevent catch it for the next poor forgetful developer like me.
Nick Mathewson 06a4443a 2010-04-09T15:28:26 Unit-test every evbuffer_add_file() implementation. Previously, we'd only test the default one, even if the others were still compiled in.
Nick Mathewson b557b175 2010-03-21T13:28:48 Detect and refuse reentrant event_base_loop() calls Calling event_base_loop on a base from inside a callback invoked by that same base, or from two threads at once, has long been a way to get exceedingly hard-to-diagnose errors. This patch adds code to detect such reentrant invocatinos, and exit quickly with a warning that should explain what went wrong.
Nick Mathewson 70a44b61 2010-03-12T18:35:15 Avoid a spurious close(-1) on Linux On Linux, we use only one fd to do main-thread signaling (since we have eventfd()), so we don't need to close th_notify_fd[1] as we would if we were using a socketpair.
