When using libevent 2, we use evdns_base_resolve_*(). When not, we
fake evdns_base_resolve_*() using evdns_resolve_*().
Our old check was looking for negative values (like libevent 2
returns), but our eventdns.c code returns 1. This code makes the
check just test for nonzero.
Note that this broken check was not for _resolve_ failures or even for
failures to _launch_ a resolve: it was for failures to _create_ or
_encode_ a resolve request.
Bug introduced in 81eee0ecfff3dac1e9438719d2f7dc0ba7e84a71; found by
lodger; uploaded to trac by rransom. Bug 2363. Fix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
We need to make sure we have an event_base in dns.c before we call
anything that wants one. Make sure we always have one in dns_reset()
when we're a client. Fixes bug 1341.
The src and dest of a memcpy() call aren't supposed to overlap,
but we were sometimes calling tor_addr_copy() as a no-op.
Also, tor_addr_assign was a redundant copy of tor_addr_copy(); this patch
removes it.
The new rule is: safe_str_X() means "this string is a piece of X
information; make it safe to log." safe_str() on its own means
"this string is a piece of who-knows-what; make it safe to log".
This changes the pqueue API by requiring an additional int in every
structure that we store in a pqueue to hold the index of that structure
within the heap.
Some *_free functions threw asserts when passed NULL. Now all of them
accept NULL as input and perform no action when called that way.
This gains us consistence for our free functions, and allows some
code simplifications where an explicit null check is no longer necessary.
When we tried to use the deprecated non-threadsafe evdns
interfaces in Libevent 2 without using the also-deprecated
event_init() interface, Libevent 2 would sensibly crash, since it
has no guess where to find the Libevent library.
Here we use the evdns_base_*() functions instead if they're
present, and fake them if they aren't.
The rest of the code was only including event.h so that it could see
EV_READ and EV_WRITE, which we were using as part of the
connection_watch_events interface for no very good reason.
This patch adds a new compat_libevent.[ch] set of files, and moves our
Libevent compatibility and utilitity functions there. We build them
into a separate .a so that nothing else in src/commmon depends on
Libevent (partially fixing bug 507).
Also, do not use our own built-in evdns copy when we have Libevent
2.0, whose evdns is finally good enough (thus fixing Bug 920).
Apparently all the stuff that does a linear scan over all the DNS
cache entries can get really expensive when your DNS cache is very
large. It's hard to say how much this will help performance, since
gprof doesn't count time spent in OpenSSL or zlib, but I'd guess 10%.
Also, this patch removes calls to assert_connection_ok() from inside
the read and write callbacks, which are similarly unneeded, and a
little costlier than I'm happy with.
This is probably worth backporting to 0.2.0.
Specifically if you send SIGUSR1, it will add two lines to the log file:
May 22 07:41:59.576 [notice] Our DNS cache has 3364 entries.
May 22 07:41:59.576 [notice] Our DNS cache size is approximately 1022656
bytes.
