2017-11-30Reimplement efile_drv as a dirty NIFJohn Högberg
This improves the latency of file operations as dirty schedulers are a bit more eager to run jobs than async threads, and use a single global queue rather than per-thread queues, eliminating the risk of a job stalling behind a long-running job on the same thread while other async threads sit idle. There's no such thing as a free lunch though; the lowered latency comes at the cost of increased busy-waiting which may have an adverse effect on some applications. This behavior can be tweaked with the +sbwt flag, but unfortunately it affects all types of schedulers and not just dirty ones. We plan to add type-specific flags at a later stage. sendfile has been moved to inet_drv to lessen the effect of a nasty race; the cooperation between inet_drv and efile has never been airtight and the socket dying at the wrong time (Regardless of reason) could result in fd aliasing. Moving it to the inet driver makes it impossible to trigger this by closing the socket in the middle of a sendfile operation, while still allowing it to be aborted -- something that can't be done if it stays in the file driver. The race still occurs if the controlling process dies in the short window between dispatching the sendfile operation and the dup(2) call in the driver, but it's much less likely to happen now. A proper fix is in the works. -- Notable functional differences: * The use_threads option for file:sendfile/5 no longer has any effect. * The file-specific DTrace probes have been removed. The same effect can be achieved with normal tracing together with the nif__entry/nif__return probes to track scheduling. -- OTP-14256

2016-01-12Assign externally open fd to gen_tcp (UDS support)Serge Aleynikov
When a AF_LOCAL file descriptor is created externally (e.g. Unix Domain Socket) and passed to `gen_tcp:listen(0, [{fd, FD}])`, the implementation incorrectly assigned the address family to be equal to `inet`, which in the inet_drv driver translated to AF_INET instead of AF_LOCAL (or AF_UNIX), and an `einval` error code was returned. This patch fixes this problem such that the file descriptors of the `local` address family are supported in the inet:fdopen/5, gen_tcp:connect/3, gen_tcp:listen/2, gen_udp:open/2 calls

2015-10-26erts: Add {line_delimiter, byte()} option to inet:setopts/2Serge Aleynikov
A new {line_delimiter, byte()} option allows line-oriented TCP-based protocols to use a custom line delimiting character. It is to be used in conjunction with {packet, line}. This option also works with erlang:decode_packet/3 when its first argument is 'line'.

2015-06-09Fix socket option {linger, {true, 0}} to abort TCP connectionsRory Byrne
Up until now, if {linger, {true, 0}} is set on the socket and there is data in the port driver queue, the connection is not aborted until the port queue is empty and close() is called on the underlying file descriptor. This bug allows an idle TCP client to prevent a server from terminating the connection and freeing resources. This patch fixes the problem by discarding the port queue if the socket is closed when {linger, {true, 0}} is set.
2015-06-09Add 'show_econnreset' TCP socket optionRory Byrne
An ECONNRESET is a socket error which tells us that a TCP peer has sent an RST. The RST indicates that they have aborted the connection and that the payload we have received should not be considered complete. Up until now, the implementation of TCP in inet_drv.c has hidden the receipt of the RST from the user, treating it as though it was just a FIN terminating the read side of the socket. There are many cases where user code needs to be able to distinguish between a socket that was closed normally and one that was aborted. Setting the option {show_econnreset, true} enables the user to receive ECONNRESET errors on both active and passive sockets. A connected socket returned from gen_tcp:accept/1 will inherit the show_econnreset setting of the listening socket. By default this option is set to {show_econnreset, false}. Note that this patch only enables the reporting of ECONNRESET when the socket is being read from. It does not report ECONNRESET (or EPIPE) when the user tries to write to a connection when an RST has already been received. Currently the TCP implementation in inet_drv.c hides all such send errors from the user in favour of returning {error, close}. A separate patch will be needed to enable the reporting of such errors.
2015-05-12Fix gen_tcp:shutdown/2 by making it asynchronousRory Byrne
If the driver queue is empty, or the user is requesting a 'read' shutdown, then the shutdown() syscall is performed synchronously, as per the old version of shutdown/2. However, if the user is requesting a 'write' or 'read_write' shutdown, and there is data in the driver queue for the socket, then the shutdown() syscall is delayed and handled asynchronously when the driver queue is written out. This version of shutdown solves a number of issues with the old version. The two main solutions it offers are: * It doesn't block when the TCP peer is idle or slow. This is the expected behaviour when shutdown() is called: the caller needs to be able to continue reading from the socket, not be prevented from doing so. * It doesn't truncate the output. The current version of gen_tcp:shutdown/2 will truncate any outbound data in the driver queue after about 10 seconds if the TCP peer is idle of slow. Worse yet, it doesn't even inform anyone that the data has been truncated: 'ok' is returned to the caller; and a FIN rather than an RST is sent to the TCP peer. For a detailed description of all the problems with the old version of shutdown, please see the EEP Light that was written to justify this patch.

2013-09-23add {active,N} socket option for TCP, UDP, and SCTPSteve Vinoski
Add the {active,N} socket option, where N is an integer in the range -32768..32767, to allow a caller to specify the number of data messages to be delivered to the controlling process. Once the socket's delivered message count either reaches 0 or is explicitly set to 0 with inet:setopts/2 or by including {active,0} as an option when the socket is created, the socket transitions to passive ({active, false}) mode and the socket's controlling process receives a message to inform it of the transition. TCP sockets receive {tcp_passive,Socket}, UDP sockets receive {udp_passive,Socket} and SCTP sockets receive {sctp_passive,Socket}. The socket's delivered message counter defaults to 0, but it can be set using {active,N} via any gen_tcp, gen_udp, or gen_sctp function that takes socket options as arguments, or via inet:setopts/2. New N values are added to the socket's current counter value, and negative numbers can be used to reduce the counter value. Specifying a number that would cause the socket's counter value to go above 32767 causes an einval error. If a negative number is specified such that the counter value would become negative, the socket's counter value is set to 0 and the socket transitions to passive mode. If the counter value is already 0 and inet:setopts(Socket, [{active,0}]) is specified, the counter value remains at 0 but the appropriate passive mode transition message is generated for the socket. This commit contains a modified preloaded prim_inet.beam due to changes in prim_inet.erl. Add tests for {active,N} mode for TCP, UDP, and SCTP sockets. Add documentation for {active,N} mode for inet, gen_tcp, gen_udp, and gen_sctp.

2012-08-16Allow mixed IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to sctp_bindxTomas Abrahamsson
Also allow mixed address families to bind, since the first address on a multihomed sctp socket must be bound with bind, while the rest are to be bound using sctp_bindx. At least Linux supports adding address of mixing families. Make inet_set_faddress function available also when HAVE_SCTP is not defined, since we use it to find an address for bind to be able to mix ipv4 and ipv6 addresses.

2011-12-01Implement ignorefd for TCPLukas Larsson
Ignore fd is a feature used by sendfile to temporarily remove all driver_select calls on that fd so that another driver can select on it. It also delays all actions which sends or receives data in that fd until in the fd is no longer ignored. Only the controlling_process should use the feature as it is otherwise possible that the ignore will never be cleaned up and hence create a memory leak in the driver. An ignored driver will not detect that an fd has been closed until it is unignored.
