for LDBM backends called "dbsync", which takes minimum of one argument up
to 3 args which are sync frequency, # of delays, and delay periods. See
man page update for "dbsync" configuration for more details.
Old code applied sync flags to store(), however supported DBMs
require such flags to be specified during open(). The new
code now applies flags in ldbm_cache_open (which calls ldbm_open).
ldbm_cache_close() now calls ldbm_sync(). This will force
a updating of on-disk contents after each LDAP operation.
The old code either failed to sync the on-disk contents until
close or synced on every store. Per LDBM operation syncing
*should* be safe enough... real data safety requires transactions.
Removed nosync option from BDB2 as it is not compatible with
txn support.
Also added code to disable DBM level locking as slapd is only
process acessing the databases (dbnolocking).
ifdef CONT_POSTFIX, swap index and old key in new key. Not defined as
it would cause more grief than good (but should be enabled on next major
index change).
added slap_ and ldbm_ to many structures
added typedefs to many structures
used typedefs
New main.c argument parsing with ldap url support (replacing -a address).
New sockaddr_in handling and support for multiple listeners.
added lber_types.h.nt, lber_types.h.in
removal of NULLxxx internal macros (in favor of NULL).
ch_free added to slapd,slurpd/ch_malloc.c
#define free ch_free (should be removed after s/free/ch_free/g) in proto-slap.h
ch_malloc and friends use ber_memalloc and friends
cache_set_state() and state args are no history.
Move cache_entry_cmp() and friends to slapd/entry.c to allow sharing
of functions between backends.. Renamed to entry_cmp().
The new e_private field can be used for any backend purpose. In LDBM,
it's used to point th the private entry info struct. The LDBM entry
info struct is only visible to the LDBM cache.
WARNING: This change has not be ported to other backends! Breakage is likely.
instead of array with overlayed struct fields. (which is inherently
non-portable).
Change maxid check in insert to be greater than or equal instead
of equal.
Use SAFEMEMCPY.
Likely broke things for non-posix threadings....
Update -lldap_r implementation to:
remove attribute support
hide thread detachment
provide concurrency accessors
provide initialization function
fix gethostby{addr,name}_r codes (not coverred by HAVE_REENTRANT_FUNCTIONS)
Update servers/libraries to use ldap_pvt_thread_ calls.
Cleanup server codes (no #ifdef HAVE_PTHREAD_THIS or _THATs)!
Removed -llthread
back-ldbm was using a cache specific lock to protect non-reentrant
database routines from being reenterred. This is inadequate.
Also, reentrant database systems calls were serialized unnecessarily.
Non-reentrant database calls must have a big_mutex. Implemented
this within -lldbm itself. library requires ldbm_initialize()
be called before any other ldbm call to initialize the big_mutex
and to do any other db specific initialization (ie: such as
required for DB2).
The dbc_mutex, dbc_cv, & dbc_readers fileds of dbcache are history.
The "reentrant_database" (REENTRANT_DATABASE) define is also axed.
behind REENTRANT_DATABASE. rename reentrant_database -> REENTRANT_DATABASE.
When REENTRANT_DATABASE is defined, the simple lock is replaced
with a simple reader/writer lock. This functionality should be removed
from back-ldbm to libldbm.
SLAPD_NEXTID_CHUNK. Code protects NEXTID file to ensure
its equal to or greater than nextid. Updated on close
to actual nextid. next_id_save() could be called periodically
if desired. Default chunk size is 32. Define to 1 to disable
chunking.
parent's "children" attribute. Write lock parent to prevent
multiple clients making conflicting operations concurrently.
If parent doesn't exist (ie: is backend root), acquire a writer
lock (a simple mutex) on the "root."
Use -DSLAPD_CHILD_MODIFICATION_WITH_ENTRY_ACL to use the child's
"entry" acl for modrdn/delete operations.
Resolved deadlock by passing target entry to be_group and using
this if dn same as bdn. It might actually be safer to check
entry ids instead of dns.
Resolved bogus add to cache after failed acl check by deferring
cache add until after parent/acl checks have successful been
completed.
Eliminated race condition caused by concurrent adds
of same dn by adding 'li_add_mutex' around the critical section
of code (most of ldbm_back_add).
This code is preliminary and still needs significant testing.
