If ngx_spawn_process() failed while starting a process, the process
handle was closed but left non-NULL in the ngx_processes[] array.
The handle later was used in WaitForMultipleObjects() (if there
were multiple worker processes configured and at least one worker
process was started successfully), resulting in infinite loop.

HP-UX needs _HPUX_ALT_XOPEN_SOCKET_API to be defined to be able to
use various POSIX versions of networking functions. Notably sendmsg()
resulted in "sendmsg() failed (9: Bad file number)" alerts without it.
See xopen_networking(7) for more details.
Poll event method needs ngx_cycle->files to work, and use of ngx_exit_cycle
without files set caused null pointer dereference in resolver's cleanup
on udp socket close.
This includes trailings dots and spaces, NTFS streams (and short names, as
previously checked). The checks are now also done in ngx_file_info(), thus
allowing to use the "try_files" directive to protect external scripts.
In case of EMFILE/ENFILE returned from accept() we disable accept events,
and (in case of no accept mutex used) arm timer to re-enable them later.
With accept mutex we just drop it, and rely on normal accept mutex handling
to re-enable accept events once it's acquired again.
As we now handle errors in question, logging level was changed to "crit"
(instead of "alert" used for unknown errors).
Note: the code might call ngx_enable_accept_events() multiple times if
there are many listen sockets. The ngx_enable_accept_events() function was
modified to check if connection is already active (via c->read->active) and
skip it then, thus making multiple calls safe.
We now stop on IOV_MAX iovec entries only if we are going to add new one,
i.e. next buffer can't be coalesced into last iovec.
This also fixes incorrect checks for trailer creation on FreeBSD and
Mac OS X, header.nelts was checked instead of trailer.nelts.
The "complete" flag wasn't cleared on loop iteration start, resulting in
broken behaviour if there were more than IOV_MAX buffers and first
iteration was fully completed (and hence the "complete" flag was set
to 1).
POSIX doesn't require it to be defined, and Debian GNU/Hurd doesn't define
it. Note that if there is no MAX_PATH defined we have to use realpath()
with NULL argument and free() the result.
Most of the systems have it included due to namespace pollution, but
relying on this is a bad idea. Explicit include is required for at least
Debian GNU/Hurd.
ZFS reports incorrect st_blocks until file settles on disk, and this
may take a while (i.e. just after creation of a file the st_blocks value
is incorrect). As a workaround we now use st_blocks only if
st_blocks * 512 > st_size, this should fix ZFS problems while still
preserving accuracy for other filesystems.
The problem had appeared in r3900 (1.0.1).
Solaris has AT_FDCWD defined to unsigned value, and comparison of a file
descriptor with it causes warnings in modern versions of gcc. Explicitly
cast AT_FDCWD to ngx_fd_t to resolve these warnings.
The aio_return() must be called regardless of the error returned by
aio_error(). Not calling it resulted in various problems up to segmentation
faults (as AIO events are level-triggered and were reported again and again).
Additionally, in "aio sendfile" case r->blocked was incremented in case of
error returned from ngx_file_aio_read(), thus causing request hangs.
Second argument (cpusetsize) is size in bytes, not in bits. Previously
used constant 32 resulted in reading of uninitialized memory and caused
EINVAL to be returned on some Linux kernels.
FreeBSD kernel checks headers/trailers pointer against NULL, not
corresponding count. Passing NULL if there are no headers/trailers
helps to avoid unneeded work in kernel, as well as unexpected 0 bytes
GIO in traces.
If process exited abnormally while holding lock on some shared memory zone -
unlock it. It may be not safe thing to do (as crash with lock held may
result in corrupted shared memory structure, and other processes will
subsequently crash while trying to access shared data), therefore complain
loudly if unlock succeeds.
It is currently used from master process on abnormal worker termination to
unlock accept mutex (unlocking of accept mutex was broken in 1.0.2). It is
expected to be used in the future to unlock other mutexes as well.
Shared mutex code was rewritten to make this possible in a safe way, i.e.
with a check if lock was actually held by the exited process. We again use
pid to lock mutex, and use separate atomic variable for a count of processes
waiting in sem_wait().
Previously result of last iteration's writev() was returned. This was
unnoticed as return value was only used if chain contained only one or
two buffers.
syscall(2) uses usual libc convention, it returns -1 on error and
sets errno. Obsolete _syscall(2) returns negative value of error.
Thanks to Hagai Avrahami.
On file retest open_file_cache lost is_directio if file wasn't changed.
This caused unaligned operations under Linux to fail with EINVAL.
It wasn't noticeable with AIO though, as errors wasn't properly logged.
Non-daemon mode is currently used by supervisord, daemontools and so on
or during debugging. The NOACCEPT signal is only used for online upgrade
which is not supported when nginx is run under supervisord, etc.,
so this change should not break existant setups.
NetBSD 5.0+ has SO_ACCEPTFILTER support merged from FreeBSD, and having
accept filter check in FreeBSD-specific ngx_freebsd_config.h prevents it
from being used on NetBSD. Therefore move the check into configure (and
do the same for Linux-specific TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT, just to be in line).
