2017-02-06Atomic reference count of binaries also in non-SMPRickard Green
NIF resources was not handled in a thread-safe manner in the runtime system without SMP support. As a consequence of this fix, the following driver functions are now thread-safe also in the runtime system without SMP support: - driver_free_binary() - driver_realloc_binary() - driver_binary_get_refc() - driver_binary_inc_refc() - driver_binary_dec_refc()

This commit only changes the order of functions and does some other rearrangements to that the diff with the next commit will be easier to follow. No content or XML tags are changed.

2014-10-17Clarify docs for driver_async() return valueSteve Vinoski
The documentation for driver_async() still referred to the return value of the function as a "handle", which is no longer meaningful since driver_async_cancel() was deprecated and removed. Modify the documentation to simply indicate that the driver_async() return value will be -1 if it fails.

erl_drv_output_term() and erl_drv_send_term() can send messages containing maps with the use of the new ERL_DRV_MAP. The driver API minor version is updated as new functionality is added.
2014-01-15remove deprecated driver_async_cancel functionSteve Vinoski
Some time ago the driver_async_cancel function was deprecated and slated for removal in R17. This commit removes the function along with its associated tests and documentation, sets the ERL_DRV_EXTENDED_MAJOR_VERSION to 3 and ERL_DRV_EXTENDED_MINOR_VERSION to 0, and modifies the sys_info_base_drv and sys_info_prev_drv tests in the driver test suite to check version 3.0 instead of 2.0.

2013-08-23Create better distribution of files over async threadsPatrik Nyblom
The actual port id is used to create a key from the pointer value which is the ErlDrvPort. To do this a new driver api function driver_async_port_key is added and the driver API minor version is updated. The documentation is updated and the faulty description of how to spread ports over async threads is updated to use the new API. Testcase also added.

2011-11-13Use generic lock-free queue for async threadsRickard Green
Queues used for communication between async threads and scheduler threads have been replaced with lock-free queues. Drivers using the driver_async functionality are not automatically locked to the system anymore, and can be unloaded as any dynamically linked in driver. Scheduling of ready async jobs is now also interleaved in between other jobs. Previously all ready async jobs was performed at once.
