ipcpd: Use the term "layer" and deprecate "shim"

2017-12-19T09:27:02+00:00

This changes the terminology to use layer instead of DIF and deprecate the word "shim" for the IPCPs that attach to Ethernet LLC and UDP .The terminology has not yet been changed in the variable names etc. This reflects the design choices in Ouroboros to make IPCPs pure resource allocators instead of also providing an "IPC service". The Ouroboros IPCPs that attach to Ethernet and UDP implement the allocator and are thus not really shims. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

ipcpd: Make hash algorithm configurable

2017-12-04T15:23:55+00:00

This makes the hashing algorithm configurable once more for the local and the shim-eth-llc, since their scope is so small that it is up to the network administrator to select a correct algorithm for the whole network. Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens

lib, tools: Rename application process and instance

2017-12-02T13:56:20+00:00

This refactors ouroboros to use "program" instead of "application process" and "process" instead of "application process instance" to align with current naming in current Operating Systems courses instead of the ISO nomenclature adopted by RINA. This change permeates through the entire implementation. Also contains some minor other refactors. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

ipcpd: Don't read commands under lock

2017-11-30T13:18:39+00:00

The commands were read under a mutex. Since the cmd struct was just malloc'd, this is not needed. Also fixes closing the socket if the malloc fails. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

lib: Deprecate ouroboros_init and ourboros_fini

2017-10-14T11:19:10+00:00

This commit deprecates ouroboros_init and ouroboros_fini and adds them as a constructor or destructor, causing these function to be run automatically when a program that links to the library calls and exits main(). For this to fully work, the library had to be split so that we can avoid the irmd calling these functions (the IRMd has to create the shm structures on which these calls depend). The library is split in 3 parts: libouroboros-dev, libouroboros-irm and libouroboros-common. The latter is linked to the other two so that including libouroboros-dev or libouroboros-irm will also link libouroboros-common.

lib: Cancel tpm threads instead of marking exit

2017-09-30T15:58:18+00:00

This makes the threadpool use pthread_cancel instead of setting an exit flag that threadpool managed threads check periodically. This drastically reduces CPU consumption in the irmd when running a lot of applications. It requires cancellation handlers in the ipcp and irmd to be implemented to ensure safe cancellation during operation and shutdown.

ipcpd: Add threadpool manager to DHT

2017-09-24T12:34:03+00:00

This adds a threadpool manager to the DHT. This was needed because the detached thread could cause a data race on shutdown. The threadpool manager is revised to allow multiple instances in a single program. The irmd and ipcp now store commands in a buffer (list) instead of a single buffer before passing it to handler threads.

ipcpd: normal: Make PFF policy-based

2017-09-20T12:16:34+00:00

This turns the PDU Forwarding Function of the IPCP into a policy. For now only the simple PFF policy is available.

tools: Add tool to connect IPCP components

2017-08-28T18:49:34+00:00

This enables user-written tools to instruct IPCPs to establish and tear down connections (a.k.a. adjacencies) between its internal components (Management and Data Transfer). For more info, do "irm ipcp connect" or "irm ipcp disconnect" on the command line. This commit exposes a deletion bug in the RIB where FSO's fail to unpack/parse. This will be fixed when the RIB is deprecated.
