Long ago we supported systems where there was no support for
threads, or where the threading library was broken. We shouldn't
have do that any more: on every OS that matters, threads exist, and
the OS supports running threads across multiple CPUs.
This resolves tickets 9495 and 12439. It's a prerequisite to making
our workqueue code work better, since sensible workqueue
implementations don't split across multiple processes.
I don't know whether we missed these or misclassified them when we
first made the "DIRECTORY AUTHORITY SERVER OPTIONS" section, but they
really belong there.
The fix for bug 8746 added a hashtable instance that never actually
invoked HT_FIND. This caused a warning, since we didn't mark HT_FIND
as okay-not-to-use.
Try killing a running process; try noticing that a process has
exited without checking its output; verify that waitpid_cb (when
present) is set to NULL when you would expect it to be.
When we create a process yourself with CreateProcess, we get a
handle to the process in the PROCESS_INFO output structure. But
instead of using that handle, we were manually looking up a _new_
handle based on the process ID, which is a poor idea, since the
process ID might refer to a new process later on, but the handle
can't.
This lets us avoid sending SIGTERM to something that has already
died, since we realize it has already died, and is a fix for the
unix version of #8746.
Check for consistency between the queued destroy cells and the marked
circuit IDs. Check for consistency in the count of queued destroy
cells in several ways. Check to see whether any of the marked circuit
IDs have somehow been marked longer than the channel has existed.
And add a comment about why conditions that would cause us to drop a
cell should get checked before actions that would cause us to send a
destroy cell.
Spotted by 'cypherpunks'.
And note that these issues have been present since 0.0.8pre1 (commit
0da256ef), where we added a "shutting down" state, and started
responding to all create cells with DESTROY when shutting down.
Conflicts:
src/or/channel.c
src/or/circuitlist.c
src/or/connection.c
Conflicts involved removal of next_circ_id and addition of
unusable-circid tracking.
The point of the "idle timeout" for connections is to kill the
connection a while after it has no more circuits. But using "last
added a non-padding cell" as a proxy for that is wrong, since if the
last circuit is closed from the other side of the connection, we
will not have sent anything on that connection since well before the
last circuit closed.
This is part of fixing 6799.
When applied to 0.2.5, it is also a fix for 12023.
Instead of killing an or_connection_t that has had no circuits for
the last 3 minutes, give every or_connection_t a randomized timeout,
so that an observer can't so easily infer from the connection close
time the time at which its last circuit closed.
Also, increase the base timeout for canonical connections from 3
minutes to 15 minutes.
Fix for ticket 6799.
When we find a stranded one-hop circuit, log whether it is dirty,
log information about any streams on it, and log information about
connections they might be linked to.
