* raimo/type-posix-0-overhaul/ERL_550/OTP-14019:
Update types for posix error codes
|
|
I have read the man pages for most socket and file operations
on recent Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Solaris 10 and noted
the possible error codes.
Which error codes that are possible for file operations have
been updated in file:posix/0. Error codes for socket operations
in inet:posix/0. The latter refers to the former so it is
a superset, assuming that e.g sendfile and AF_UNIX socket
operations could cause socket operations to return any file
error code. That is not entirely true, but could be,
especially in the future.
Added to file:posix/0 are:
ebadmsg edeadlk edeadlock eftype emultihop enobufs enolck enolink
enosr enostr enosys eopnotsupp eoverflow erange etxtbsy
Added to inet:posix/0 are all but:
exbadport exbadseq file:posix()
These are still possible according to erl_posix_str.c,
but are not in file:posix/0 nor in inet:posix/0,
and many of them are not file nor inet related, but some might be:

Implementation of true asynchronous signaling between processes
|
|
All uses of async threads in the built-in drivers have been
replaced with dirty IO, so it no longer makes sense to leave the
default at 10.
|
|
Communication between Erlang processes has conceptually always been
performed through asynchronous signaling. The runtime system
implementation has however previously preformed most operation
synchronously. In a system with only one true thread of execution, this
is not problematic (often the opposite). In a system with multiple threads
of execution (as current runtime system implementation with SMP support)
it becomes problematic. This since it often involves locking of structures
when updating them which in turn cause resource contention. Utilizing
true asynchronous communication often avoids these resource contention
issues.
The case that triggered this change was contention on the link lock due
to frequent updates of the monitor trees during communication with a
frequently used server. The signal order delivery guarantees of the
language makes it hard to change the implementation of only some signals
to use true asynchronous signaling. Therefore the implementations
of (almost) all signals have been changed.
Currently the following signals have been implemented as true
asynchronous signals:
- Message signals
- Exit signals
- Monitor signals
- Demonitor signals
- Monitor triggered signals (DOWN, CHANGE, etc)
- Link signals
- Unlink signals
- Group leader signals
All of the above already defined as asynchronous signals in the
language. The implementation of messages signals was quite
asynchronous to begin with, but had quite strict delivery constraints
due to the ordering guarantees of signals between a pair of processes.
The previously used message queue partitioned into two halves has been
replaced by a more general signal queue partitioned into three parts
that service all kinds of signals. More details regarding the signal
queue can be found in comments in the erl_proc_sig_queue.h file.
The monitor and link implementations have also been completely replaced
in order to fit the new asynchronous signaling implementation as good
as possible. More details regarding the new monitor and link
implementations can be found in the erl_monitor_link.h file.

A get_map_elements instruction that has a literal map operand
would never be translated to a i_get_map_element instruction.
That would be a problem for the following instruction:
get_map_elements Fail #{} {x,0}, {x,1}
Since the key is not a literal, get_map_element must be used,
since get_map_elements requires that a hash value can be
calculated for each element.
When the instruction is translated to i_get_map_element, the
hash value will be set to 0 and an assertion will trigger in
the debug build.

It wasn't possible to change group/owner separately, and our test
suite lacked coverage for that.

process_info/1 retrieves a number of properties related to a process,
including the list of messages in its mailbox. This is potentially
unsafe if the target process has a large number of queued messages:
- there is no a priori upper bound on the amount of memory being
allocated to hold that list, and
- the loop to retrieve the messages is uninterruptible, so the
Erlang scheduler where this executes blocks for the duration
We've seen process_info/1 bring down heavily loaded nodes on more
than one occasion. At least once it appeared to have blocked the
Erlang heart process from executing, causing the external heart to
kill the VM.
Consequently this removes 'messages' from the list of process_info
tags to retrieve for process_info/1. Note that process_info/1 still
retrieves 'message_queue_len', and process_info/2 can still retrieve
'messages' when asked to.
A few places in the OTP libraries need minor adjustments, since they
want 'message_queue_len' but compute it from the length of the list
of messages.

Passing NULL is undefined behavior and unconditionally executing these
may result in the compiler optimizing away a later NULL check. It can
often work since the pointer isn't touched when the length is 0, but
it's a major footgun. See ERL-573.
