2016-03-14Make distribution failures during start-up easier to readBjörn Gustavsson
When an attempt is made to start a distributed Erlang node with the same name as an existing node, the crash reports for several supervisors would be displayed. Only the first line contains useful information. The verbiage is annoying for old hands and could easily scare newcomers away for good. For all the common distribution failures during start-up, write a simple message and terminate the emulator using halt/1. Here is an example of what will be printed: Protocol 'inet_tcp': the name somename@somehost seems to be in use by another Erlang node
2016-03-11Don't throw exceptions from rpc:call() and rpc:block_call()Björn Gustavsson
The documentation for rpc:call() says: Evaluates apply(Module, Function, Args) on the node Node and returns the corresponding value Res, or {badrpc, Reason} if the call fails. What is not said that rpc:call() can generate an exception if the 'rex' process on the other node is killed: (kalle@host)1> Rex = rpc:call(arne@host, erlang, whereis, [rex]). <6937.14.0> (kalle@host)2> rpc:call(arne@host, erlang, exit, [Rex,kill]). ** exception exit: {killed, {gen_server,call, [{rex,arne@host}, {call,erlang,exit,[<6937.14.0>,kill],<0.33.0>}, infinity]}} in function rpc:rpc_check/1 (rpc.erl, line 361) On the other hand, if the other node shuts down for some other reason, we'll get a {badrpc,nodedown} result: (kalle@host)5> rpc:call(arne@host, erlang, halt, []). {badrpc,nodedown} There does not seem to be any reason to handle the two cases differently. If the 'rex' process is terminated on the other node, it will shut down shortly thereafter. Therefore, change rpc:call() and rpc:block_call() to always return {badrpc,Reason} is the call fails: (kalle@host)1> Rex = rpc:call(arne@host, erlang, whereis, [rex]). <6937.14.0> (kalle@host)2> rpc:call(arne@host, erlang, exit, [Rex,kill]). {badrpc,{'EXIT',{killed,{gen_server,call, [{rex,arne@host}, {call,erlang,exit,[<7126.14.0>,kill],<0.33.0>}, infinity]}}}}

2016-03-11erl_distribution: Simplify start_link/0 and friendsBjörn Gustavsson
start_link/0 and friends are too convoluted for me.
2016-03-11Reorder and comment API functionsBjörn Gustavsson
Move all functions meant to be called from other modules before the internal functions. Comment them to make it clearer what their purpose are.

2016-03-10Improved scheduler suspend functionalityRickard Green
- The calling process is now suspended while synchronizing scheduler suspends via erlang:system_flag(schedulers_online, _) and erlang:system_flag(multi_scheduling, _), instead of blocking the scheduler thread in the BIF call waiting for the operation to synchronize. Besides releasing the scheduler for other work (or immediate suspend) it also makes it possible to abort the operation by killing the process. - erlang:system_flag(schedulers_online, _) now only wait for normal schedulers to complete before it returns. This since it may take a very long time before all dirty schedulers suspends. - erlang:system_flag(multi_scheduling, block_normal|unblock_normal) which only operate on normal schedulers has been introduced. This since there are use cases where suspend of dirty schedulers are not of interest (hipe loader). - erlang:system_flag(multi_scheduling, block) still blocks all dirty schedulers as well as all normal schedulers except one since it is hard to redefine what multi scheduling block means. - The three operations: - changing amount of schedulers online - blocking/unblocking normal multi scheduling - blocking/unblocking full multi scheduling can now be done in parallel. This is important since otherwise a full multi scheduling block would potentially delay the other operations for a very long time.
2016-03-10Remove ?line macrosBjörn Gustavsson
While we are it, also re-ident the files.
2016-03-10Fix commentsBjörn Gustavsson
Remove out-commented code. Make sure that comments that are not at the end of a line starts with two '%' characters and not just one. That will become important later when we'll remove all ?line macros and ask Emacs to re-indent the files.
2016-03-10gen_tcp_misc_SUITE: Use unique node namesBjörn Gustavsson
Use unique node names to ensure that one failed test case will not cause other test cases to fail if a slave node was left.

2016-03-07Skip erl_prim_loader_SUITE:get_modules/1 when cover-compiledBjörn Gustavsson
code:which/1 will return 'cover_compiled' instead of a path. We could work around that, but since erl_prim_loader is not cover-compiled, it does not gain us anything.

2016-03-03Fix code_SUITE after test_server changeSiri Hansen
test_server:start_node does no longer add the test_server path to the new node, since the needed code is present in the default path. This caused two test cases in code_SUITE to fail. code_SUITE:mult_lib_roots: Expected the test_server path to be first in the code path. This check is removed. code_SUITE:bad_erl_libs: Started a node with "-env ERL_LIBS ", i.e. not giving any value to the ERL_LIBS variable. This test succeeded by accident, since the combination with arguments set by test_server_node.erl and by slave.erl caused the node start to work, and no further checks were present in the test. This part of the test case is now removed.
