Starting with FreeBSD 11, there is no need to use AIO operations to preload
data into cache for sendfile(SF_NODISKIO) to work. Instead, sendfile()
handles non-blocking loading data from disk by itself. It still can, however,
return EBUSY if a page is already being loaded (for example, by a different
process). If this happens, we now post an event for the next event loop
iteration, so sendfile() is retried "after a short period", as manpage
recommends.
The limit of the number of EBUSY tolerated without any progress is preserved,
but now it does not result in an alert, since on an idle system event loop
iteration might be very short and EBUSY can happen many times in a row.
Instead, SF_NODISKIO is simply disabled for one call once the limit is
reached.
With this change, sendfile(SF_NODISKIO) is now used automatically as long as
sendfile() is enabled, and no longer requires "aio on;".
The PCRE2 library is now used by default if found, instead of the
original PCRE library. If needed for some reason, this can be disabled
with the --without-pcre2 configure option.
To make it possible to specify paths to the library and include files
via --with-cc-opt / --with-ld-opt, the library is first tested without
any additional paths and options. If this fails, the pcre2-config script
is used.
Similarly to the original PCRE library, it is now possible to build PCRE2
from sources with nginx configure, by using the --with-pcre= option.
It automatically detects if PCRE or PCRE2 sources are provided.
Note that compiling PCRE2 10.33 and later requires inttypes.h. When
compiling on Windows with MSVC, inttypes.h is only available starting
with MSVC 2013. In older versions some replacement needs to be provided
("echo '#include <stdint.h>' > pcre2-10.xx/src/inttypes.h" is good enough
for MSVC 2010).
The interface on nginx side remains unchanged.
ngx_http_v3_tables.h and ngx_http_v3_tables.c are renamed to
ngx_http_v3_table.h and ngx_http_v3_table.c to better match HTTP/2 code.
ngx_http_v3_streams.h and ngx_http_v3_streams.c are renamed to
ngx_http_v3_uni.h and ngx_http_v3_uni.c to better match their content.
OpenSSL library QUIC support cannot be tested at configure time when
using the --with-openssl option so assume it's present if requested.
While here, fixed the error message in case QUIC support is missing.
To improve output performance, UDP segmentation offloading is used
if available. If there is a significant amount of data in an output
queue and path is verified, QUIC packets are not sent one-by-one,
but instead are collected in a buffer, which is then passed to kernel
in a single sendmsg call, using UDP GSO. Such method greatly decreases
number of system calls and thus system load.
The patch adds proper transitions between multiple networking addresses that
can be used by a single quic connection. New networking paths are validated
using PATH_CHALLENGE/PATH_RESPONSE frames.
In FreeBSD 13, eventfd(2) was added, and this breaks build
with --test-build-epoll and without --with-file-aio. Fix is
to move eventfd(2) detection to auto/os/linux, as it is used
only on Linux as a notification mechanism for epoll().
The strerrordesc_np() function, introduced in glibc 2.32, provides an
async-signal-safe way to obtain error messages. This makes it possible
to avoid copying error messages.
Previously, systems without sys_nerr (or _sys_nerr) were handled with an
assumption that errors start at 0 and continuous. This is, however, not
something POSIX requires, and not true on some platforms.
Notably, on Linux, where sys_nerr is no longer available for newly linked
binaries starting with glibc 2.32, there are gaps in error list, which
used to stop us from properly detecting maximum errno. Further, on
GNU/Hurd errors start at 0x40000001.
With this change, maximum errno detection is moved to the runtime code,
now able to ignore gaps, and also detects the first error if needed.
This fixes observed "Unknown error" messages as seen on Linux with
glibc 2.32 and on GNU/Hurd.
The quic kernel bpf helper inspects packet payload for DCID, extracts key
and routes the packet into socket matching the key.
Due to reuseport feature, each worker owns a personal socket, which is
identified by the same key, used to create DCID.
BPF objects are locked in RAM and are subject to RLIMIT_MEMLOCK.
The "ulimit -l" command may be used to setup proper limits, if maps
cannot be created with EPERM or updated with ETOOLONG.
The filter is responsible for creating HTTP/3 response header and body.
The change removes differences to the default branch for
ngx_http_chunked_filter_module and ngx_http_header_filter_module.
When installing or running from a non-root user it is sometimes required to
override default, compiled in error log path. There was no way to do this
without rebuilding the binary (ticket #147).
This patch introduced "-e" command line option which allows one to override
compiled in error log path.
Addon modules, both dynamic and static, can now use shared source files.
Shared sources result in only one make rule even if specified several
times in different modules.
