* json: Move from lib to include/openvswitch.Terry Wilson2016-07-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To easily allow both in- and out-of-tree building of the Python wrapper for the OVS JSON parser (e.g. w/ pip), move json.h to include/openvswitch. This also requires moving lib/{hmap,shash}.h. Both hmap.h and shash.h were #include-ing "util.h" even though the headers themselves did not use anything from there, but rather from include/openvswitch/util.h. Fixing that required including util.h in several C files mostly due to OVS_NOT_REACHED and things like xmalloc. Signed-off-by: Terry Wilson <twilson@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ben Pfaff <blp@ovn.org>

* poll-loop: Create Windows event handles for sockets automatically.Gurucharan Shetty2014-06-301-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently have a poll_fd_wait_event(fd, wevent, events) function that is used at places common to Windows and Linux where we have to wait on sockets. On Linux, 'wevent' is always set as zero. On Windows, for sockets, when we send both 'fd' and 'wevent', we associate them with each other for 'events' and then wait on 'wevent'. Also on Windows, when we only send 'wevent' to this function, we would simply wait for all events for that 'wevent'. There is a disadvantage with this approach. * Windows clients need to create a 'wevent' and then pass it along. This means that at a lot of places where we create sockets, we also are forced to create a 'wevent'. With this commit, we pass the responsibility of creating a 'wevent' to poll_fd_wait() in case of sockets. That way, a client using poll_fd_wait() is only concerned about sockets and not about 'wevents'. There is a potential disadvantage with this change in that we create events more often and that may have a performance penalty. If that turns out to be the case, we will eventually need to create a pool of wevents that can be re-used. In Windows, there are cases where we want to wait on a event (not associated with any sockets) and then control it using functions like SetEvent() etc. For that purpose, introduce a new function poll_wevent_wait(). For this function, the client needs to create a event and then pass it along as an argument. Signed-off-by: Gurucharan Shetty <gshetty@nicira.com> Acked-By: Ben Pfaff <blp@nicira.com>

* daemon-windows: unlink pidfile before stopping the service.Gurucharan Shetty2014-06-241-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a OVS daemon is configured to run as a Windows service, when the service is stopped by calling service_stop(), the windows services manager does not give enough time to do everything in the atexit handler. So call the exit handler directly from service_stop(). Also add a test case for Windows services which checks for the termination of the service by looking at pidfile cleaned by the exit handler.

* process: block signals while spawning child processesAnsis Atteka2014-05-301-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Between fork() and execvp() calls in the process_start() function both child and parent processes share the same file descriptors. This means that, if a child process received a signal during this time interval, then it could potentially write data to a shared file descriptor. One such example is fatal signal handler, where, if child process received SIGTERM signal, then it would write data into pipe. Then a read event would occur on the other end of the pipe where parent process is listening and this would make parent process to incorrectly believe that it was the one who received SIGTERM. Also, since parent process never reads data from this pipe, then this bug would make parent process to consume 100% CPU by immediately waking up from the event loop. This patch will help to avoid this problem by blocking signals until child closes all its file descriptors.

* fatal-signal: Handle SIGINT for Windows.Gurucharan Shetty2014-02-261-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ctrl+C signals are a special case for Windows and can be handled by registering a handle through SetConsoleCtrlHandler() routine. This is only useful when we run it directly on console and not as services in the background. Once we get a Ctrl+C signal, we call the cleanup functions and then exit. One thing to know here is that MinGW terminal handles Ctrl+C signal differently (and looks a little buggy. I see it exiting the handler midway with some sort of timeout). So this implementation is only useful when run on Windows terminal. Since we only use MinGW for compilation and eventually to run unit tests, it should be okay. (The unit tests would ideally use windows services and not expect Ctrl+C) Signed-off-by: Gurucharan Shetty <gshetty@nicira.com> Acked-by: Ben Pfaff <blp@nicira.com>
* fatal-signal: Fatal signal handling for Windows.Gurucharan Shetty2014-02-261-1/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Windows does not have a SIGHUP or SIGALRM. It does have a SIGINT and SIGTERM. The documentation at msdn says that SIGINT is not supported for win32 applications because WIN32 operating systems generate a new thread to specifically handle Ctrl+C. This commit handles SIGTERM for Windows. The documentation also states that nothing generates SIGTERM in Windows, but one can use raise(SIGTERM) to manage it. The idea for handling SIGTERM for Windows is to just have a place holder if there is need to raise() a signal for some other purpose. We use SIGALRM in timeval.c if we wake up from a sleep after 'deadline'. For Windows, print an error message and then use SIGTERM. There is an atexit() function for Windows, so we can call cleanup functions during exit. An upcoming commit separately handles Ctrl+C so that we can call clean up functions for that use case.

* Use "error-checking" mutexes in place of other kinds wherever possible.Ben Pfaff2013-08-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've seen a number of deadlocks in the tree since thread safety was introduced. So far, all of these are self-deadlocks, that is, a single thread acquiring a lock and then attempting to re-acquire the same lock recursively. When this has happened, the process simply hung, and it was somewhat difficult to find the cause. POSIX "error-checking" mutexes check for this specific problem (and others). This commit switches from other types of mutexes to error-checking mutexes everywhere that we can, that is, everywhere that we're not using recursive mutexes. This ought to help find problems more quickly in the future. There might be performance advantages to other kinds of mutexes in some cases. However, the existing mutex type choices were just guesses, so I'd rather go for easy detection of errors until we know that other mutex types actually perform better in specific cases. Also, I did a quick microbenchmark of glibc mutex types on my host and found that the error checking mutexes weren't any slower than the other types, at least when the mutex is uncontended.

* Make fatal signals cause an exit more promptly in special cases.Ben Pfaff2010-04-131-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The fatal-signal library notices and records fatal signals (e.g. SIGTERM) and terminates the process on the next trip through poll_block(). But some special utilities do not always invoke poll_block() promptly, e.g. "ovs-ofctl monitor" does not call poll_block() as long as OpenFlow messages are available. But these special cases seem like they are all likely to call into functions that themselves block (those with "_block" in their names). So make a new rule that such functions should always call fatal_signal_run(), either directly or through poll_block(). This commit implements and documents that rule. Bug #2625.
* fatal-signal: Initialize library upon any call to public function.Ben Pfaff2010-03-241-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | Not calling fatal_signal_init() means that the signal handlers don't get registered, so the process won't clean up on fatal signals. Furthermore, signal_fds[0] is then 0, which means that fatal-signal_wait() waits on stdin, so if you are testing a program interactively and accidentally type something on stdin then that program's CPU usage jumps to 100%. Since poll_block() calls fatal_signal_wait() this seems like the most reliable solution.

* | fatal-signal: After fork, clear hooks instead of disabling them.Ben Pfaff2010-01-151-28/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, fatal_signal_fork() has simply disabled all the fatal signal callback hooks. This worked fine, because a daemon process forked only once and the parent didn't do much before it exited. But upcoming commits will introduce a --monitor option, which requires processes to fork multiple times. Sometimes the parent process will fork, then run for a while, then fork again. It's not good to disable the hooks in the child process in such a case, because that prevents e.g. pidfiles from being removed at the child's exit. So this commit changes the semantics of fatal_signal_fork() to just clearing out hooks. After hooks are cleared, new hooks can be added and will be executed on process termination in the usual way. This commit also introduces a cancellation callback function so that a canceled hook can free resources.
* | fatal-signal: Run signal hooks outside of actual signal handlers.Jesse Gross2010-01-061-70/+57
|/ | | | | | | Rather than running signal hooks directly from the actual signal handler, simply record the fact that the signal occured and run the hook next time around the poll loop. This allows significantly more freedom as to what can actually be done in the signal hooks.
