This prevents the supervisor from thinking that the migration completed
successfully.
In order to do this, I've introduced a new lock around the start (and
finish) of the migration so that we avoid a race between the signal
handler in the server_accept loop and the control thread mirror startup.
Without that, we'd risk successfully starting a migration after the
SIGTERM handler fired, which would be Bad.
The three-way hand-off has a problem: there's no way to arrange for the
state of the migration to be unambiguous in case of failure. If the
final "disconnect" message is lost (as in, the destination never
receives it whether it is sent by the sender or not), the destination
has no option but to quit with an error status and let a human sort it
out. However, at that point we can either arrange to have a .INCOMPLETE
file still on disc or not - and it doesn't matter which we choose, we
can still end up with dataloss by picking a specific calamity to have
befallen the sender.
Given this, it makes sense to fall back to a simpler protocol: just send
all the data, then send a "disconnect" message. This has the same
downside that we need a human to sort out specific failure cases, but
combined with --unlink before sending "disconnect" (see next patch) it
will always be possible for a human to disambiguate, whether the
destination quit with an error status or not.
Changing behaviour so that instead of rebinding after a successful
migration and continuing as an ordinary server, we simply quit with a
0 exit code and let our caller restart us as a server if they want to.
This means that everything in listen.c, listen.h, and anything making
reference to a rebind address is unneeded.
This is important because if we try to rebind after a migration and
someone else is in the way, any clients trying to reconnect to us will
instead be connecting to the squatter.
If the client makes a write that's out of range, by the time we get to
validate the message at the server end the client has already stuffed
the socket with data we can't use, so we have to flush it.
This patch also fixes a potential problem in the acceptance tests where
the error field was being returned as an array rather than a value.
The mirror_super signals the commit state to the control thread via an
mbox, and this mbox is moved to control. It was owned by mirror_super,
but the problem with that is that mirror_super can free the mbox before
the control client has been scheduled to receive the message. If it's
owned by the control object, that can't happen.
If the mirror attempt failed and we were able to report an error to the
user, it makes no sense to attempt a retry. We don't have a way to
abort a mirror attempt yet, so if the user got a setting wrong and it's
failing for that reason, the only recourse they'd have would be to
restart the server.
If the mirror attempt connects ok, but is rejected (say, for reporting
the wrong size), the client socket needs to be closed. The destination
end can't close its socket and accept another connection attempt unless
it does.
When we receive a migration, if rebinding to the new listen address and
port fails for a reason which might be fixable, rather than killing the
server we retry once a second. Also in this patch: non-overlapping log
messages and a fix for the client going away halfway through a sendfile
loop.
If the sender disconnects its socket before sending the disconnect
message, the destination should restart the migration process. This
patch makes sure that happens.
This adds a test for destination behaviour, in that if a source crashes
after sending an entrust message but before the destination can reply,
the destination must allow the source to reconnect and retry the mirror.
Now that we have 3 mutexes lying around, it's important that we check
and free these if necessary if error() is called in any thread that can
hold them. To do this, we now have flexthread.c, which defines a
flexthread_mutex struct. This is a wrapper around a pthread_mutex_t and
a pthread_t. The idea is that in the error handler, the thread can
check whether it holds the mutex and can free it if and only if it does.
This is important because pthread fast mutexes can be freed by *any*
thread, not just the thread which holds them.
Note: it is only ever safe for a thread to check if it holds the mutex
itself. It is *never* safe to check if another thread holds a mutex
without first locking that mutex, which makes the whole operation rather
pointless.
