The documentation for the tcp linger option was somewhat
obtuse. This has been improved upon by listing and describing
the three basic alternatives.

* igor/tcp-nopush-ERL-698/OTP-15357:
"cork" tcp socket around file:sendfile
Add nopush TCP socket option
|
|
This translates to TCP_CORK on Linux and TCP_NOPUSH on
BSD.
In effect, this acts as super-Nagle: no partial TCP segments
are sent out until this option is turned off. Once turned off,
all accumulated unsent data is sent out immediately. The latter
is *not* the case on OSX, hence the implementation ignores
"nopush" on OSX to reduce confusion.
|
|
Also implement the same option for the legacy undocumented functions
inet:getif/1,getiflist/1,ifget/2,ifset/2.
The arity 1 functions had before this change got signatures that
took a socket port that was used to do the needed syscall, so now
the signature was extended to also take an option list with the
only supported option {netns,Namespace}. The Socket argument
variant remains unsupported.
For inet:getifaddrs/1 the documentation file was changed to old
style function name definition so be able to hide the Socket
argument variant that is visible in the type spec.
The arity 2 functions had got an option list as second argument.
This list had to be partitioned into one list for the namespace
option(s) and the other for the rest.
The namespace option list was then fed to the already existing
namespace support for socket opening, which places the socket
in a namespace and hence made all these functions that in
inet_drv.c used getsockopt() work without change.
The functions that used getifaddrs() in inet_drv.c had to be
changed in inet_drv.c to swap namespaces around the
getifaddrs() syscall. This functionality was separated into
a new function call_getifaddrs().

Implement socket options recvtclass, recvtos, recvttl and pktoptions.
Document the implemented socket options, new types and message formats.
The options recvtclass, recvtos and recvttl are boolean options that
when activated (true) for a socket will cause ancillary data to be
received through recvmsg(). That is for packet oriented sockets
(UDP and SCTP).
The required options for this feature were recvtclass and recvtos,
and recvttl was only added to test that the ancillary data parsing
handled multiple data items in one message correctly.
These options does not work on Windows since ancillary data
is not handled by the Winsock2 API.
For stream sockets (TCP) there is no clear connection between
a received packet and what is returned when reading data from
the socket, so recvmsg() is not useful. It is possible to get
the same ancillary data through a getsockopt() call with
the IPv6 socket option IPV6_PKTOPTIONS, on Linux named
IPV6_2292PKTOPTIONS after the now obsoleted RFC where it originated.
(unfortunately RFC 3542 that obsoletes it explicitly undefines
this way to get packet ancillary data from a stream socket)
Linux also has got a way to get packet ancillary data for IPv4
TCP sockets through a getsockopt() call with IP_PKTOPTIONS,
which appears to be Linux specific.
This implementation uses a flag field in the inet_drv.c socket
internal data that records if any setsockopt() call with recvtclass,
recvtos or recvttl (IPV6_RECVTCLASS, IP_RECVTOS or IP_RECVTTL)
has been activated. If so recvmsg() is used instead of recvfrom().
Ancillary data is delivered to the application by a new return
tuple format from gen_udp:recv/2,3 containing a list of
ancillary data tuples [{tclass,TCLASS} | {tos,TOS} | {ttl,TTL}],
as returned by recvmsg(). For a socket in active mode a new
message format, containing the ancillary data list, delivers
the data in the same way.
For gen_sctp the ancillary data is delivered in the same way,
except that the gen_sctp return tuple format already contained
an ancillary data list so there are just more possible elements
when using these socket options. Note that the active mode
message format has got an extra tuple level for the ancillary
data compared to what is now implemented gen_udp.
The gen_sctp active mode format was considered to be the odd one
- now all tuples containing ancillary data are flat,
except for gen_sctp active mode.
Note that testing has not shown that Linux SCTP sockets deliver
any ancillary data for these socket options, so it is probably
not implemented yet. Remains to be seen what FreeBSD does...
For gen_tcp inet:getopts([pktoptions]) will deliver the latest
received ancillary data for any activated socket option recvtclass,
recvtos or recvttl, on platforms where IP_PKTOPTIONS is defined
for an IPv4 socket, or where IPV6_PKTOPTIONS or IPV6_2292PKTOPTIONS
is defined for an IPv6 socket. It will be delivered as a
list of ancillary data items in the same way as for gen_udp
(and gen_sctp).
On some platforms, e.g the BSD:s, when you activate IP_RECVTOS
you get ancillary data tagged IP_RECVTOS with the TOS value,
but on Linux you get ancillary data tagged IP_TOS with the
TOS value. Linux follows the style of RFC 2292, and the BSD:s
use an older notion. For RFC 2292 that defines the IP_PKTOPTIONS
socket option it is more logical to tag the items with the
tag that is the item's, than with the tag that defines that you
want the item. Therefore this implementation translates all
BSD style ancillary data tags to the corresponding Linux style
data tags, so the application will only see the tags 'tclass',
'tos' and 'ttl' on all platforms.

There is no reason to have a larger buffer than this as
the recvmsg call will never return more data.

kernel: inet - fix invalid IPv4-mapped-address examples
|
|
|
|
* IPv6 address FFFF::192.168.42.2 is an invalid form as an IPv4-mapped address.
This should be fixed as ::FFFF:192.168.42.2.
The assigned address block is ::ffff:0:0/96.
See RFC6890 Table 20 in the Section 2.2.2 for the further details.
And for this IPv4-mapped address use *only*,
the 32bit LSB of the IPv6 address can be written
with the respective IPv4 address.
See RFC4291 Section 2.2 Form 3 for the further details.

* lukas/kernel/gen_tcp_close_docs:
kernel: Expand gen_tcp:close docs with send text
|
|
This commit attempts to clarify some of the guarantees given by
the TCP standard when issuing close. This is quite a complex
topic so there are probably corner cases still left, but this
at least tells the user that things can go wrong when doing
a close.
|
|
The documentation does not indicate this is the buffer responsible for the maximum bytes we can receive from a recv call.

Fix some older errors as well.

This makes the implementation text of inet:gethostbyname/1 identical to
that of inet_res:gethostbyname/1. I also copied over the doc note about
this resolver option.

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'.

Up till now all send errors have been translated into a generic
{error, closed}. This patch allows {error, econnreset} to be
returned on send errors when it is detected that the TCP peer
has sent an RST.
|
|
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.

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.
