log format expressions are broadly used within the code: once they are
parsed from input string, they are converted to a linked list of
logformat nodes.
We're starting to face some limitations because we're simply storing the
converted expression as a generic logformat_node list.
The first issue we're facing is that storing logformat expressions that
way doesn't allow us to add metadata alongside the list, which is part
of the prerequites for implementing log-profiles.
Another issue with storing logformat expressions as generic lists of
logformat_node elements is that it's starting to become really hard to
tell when we rely on logformat expressions or not in the code given that
there isn't always a comment near the list declaration or manipulation
to indicate that it's relying on logformat expressions under the hood,
so this adds some complexity for code maintenance.
This patch looks quite impressive due to changes in a lot of header and
source files (since logformat expressions are broadly used), but it does
a simple thing: it defines the lf_expr structure which itself holds a
generic list of logformat nodes, and then declares some helpers to
manipulate lf_expr elements and fixes the code so that we now exclusively
manipulate logformat_node lists as lf_expr elements outside of log.c.
For now, lf_expr struct only contains the list of logformat nodes (no
additional metadata), but now that we have dedicated type and helpers,
doing so in the future won't be problematic at all and won't require
extensive code changes.
It is only a real problem for agent-checks when there is no agent string to
send. The condition to disable TCP_QUICKACK was only based on the action
type following the connect one. But it is not always accurate. indeed, for
agent-checks, there is always a SEND action. But if there is no "agent-send"
string defined, nothing is sent. In this case, this adds 200ms of latency
with no reason.
To fix the bug, a flag is now used on the CONNECT action to instruct there
are data that should be sent after the connect. For health-checks, this flag
is set if the action following the connect is a SEND action. For
agent-checks, it is set if an "agent-send" string is defined.
This patch should fix the issue #1836. It must be backported as far as 2.2.
No need to include the full tree management code, type files only
need the definitions. Doing so reduces the whole code size by around
3.6% and the build time is down to just 6s.
There are list definitions everywhere in the code, let's drop the need
for including list-t.h to declare them. The rest of the list manipulation
is huge however and not needed everywhere so using the list walking macros
still requires to include list.h.
This patch fixes all the leftovers from the include cleanup campaign. There
were not that many (~400 entries in ~150 files) but it was definitely worth
doing it as it revealed a few duplicates.
Checks.c remains one of the largest file of the project and it contains
too many things. The tcpchecks code represents half of this file, and
both parts are relatively isolated, so let's move it away into its own
file. We now have tcpcheck.c, tcpcheck{,-t}.h.
Doing so required to export quite a number of functions because check.c
has almost everything made static, which really doesn't help to split!
