David Wilson 2c74eac19a issue #291: more Ansible-compatible script invocation
When running any kind of script, rewrite the hashbang like Ansible does,
but subsequently ignore it and explicitly use a fragment of shell from
the ansible_*_interpreter variable to call the interpreter, just like
Ansible does.

This fixes hashbangs containing '/usr/bin/env A=1 bash' on Linux, where
putting that into a hashbang line results in an infinite loop.

Python modules.

Additionally add SerializedInvoker for use with PushFileService, which
ensures all method calls to a single service occur in sequence.

receiving LOAD_MODULE/FORWARD_MODULE pairs and ensuring they reach the

machinectl does not support any sensible form of pipe to the child

container (see systemd/systemd#8850).

This can also form the basis for issue #223, where the post-fork

container will be the same.

David Wilson 4c5e13bf87 core: add Stream.pending_bytes() accessor. 7 years ago
David Wilson 7c88e4d013 Move _DEAD into header, autogenerate dead messages
This change blocks off 2 common scenarios where a race condition is
upgraded to a hang, when the library could internally do better.

* Since we don't know whether the receiver of a `reply_to` is expecting
  a raw or pickled message, and since in the case of a raw reply, there
  is no way to signal "dead" to the receiver, override the reply_to
  field to explicitly mark a message as dead using a special handle.

  This replaces the serialized _DEAD sentinel value with a slightly
  neater interface, in the form of the reserved IS_DEAD handle, and
  enables an important subsequent change: when a context cannot route a
  message, it can send a generic 'dead' reply back towards the message
  source, ensuring any sleeping thread is woken with ChannelError.

  The use of this field could potentially be extended later on if
  additional flags are needed, but for now this seems to suffice.

* Teach Router._invoke() to reply with a dead message when it receives a
  message for an invalid local handle.

* Teach Router._async_route() to reply with a dead message when it
  receives an unroutable message.

David Wilson e43c6c531b Mostly implement hybrid TTY/socket mode for sudo and SSH.

David Wilson cc980569a3 issue #159: initial context LRU implementation
Now Connection.close() *must* be called in the worker, to ensure the
reference count for a context drops correctly.

Remove 'discriminator' for now, I'm not using it for testing any more
and it complicated this code.

This code is a car crash, it needs rewritten again. Ideally some/most of
this behaviour could live on services.DeduplicatingService somehow, but
I couldn't come up with a sensible design.
7 years ago
David Wilson 38c0ad1eea core: don't deregister Router handles until Broker exit.
Lots of "invalid handle: ..., 102" messages started appearing during
exit recently because ordering changed slightly, and local handles were
sent _DEAD even though the broker loop was still progressing through
shutdown.

The "shutdown" event is too early to close handles: it is the start of
the grace period where streams and downstream contexts can finish up any
work and deliver buffered data, including FORWARD_LOG messages that
haven't arrived yet.

So instead,

- move the _DEAD logic to the "exit" event,
- get rid of Context.on_shutdown() entirely, it's been unused for over
  a month,
- get rid of the "crash" event, since it always fires prior to "exit",
  and its only use was to send _DEAD to local handles, which now happens
  during exit anyway.

David Wilson 3613162bc0 ansible: enable forking when requested and for async jobs.
Closes #105.
References #155.

mitogen/service.py:
    Refactor services to support individually exposed methods with
    different security policies for each method.

    - @mitogen.service.expose() to expose a method and set its policy
    - @mitogen.service.arg_spec() to validate input.
    - Require basic service message format to be a tuple of
      `(method, kwargs)`, where kwargs is always a dict.
    - Update DeduplicatingService to match the new scheme.

ansible_mitogen/connection.py:
    - Rename 'method' to 'method_name' to disambiguate it from the
      service.call()'s method= argument.

ansible_mitogen/planner.py:
    - Generate an ID for every job, sync or not, and fetch job results
      from JobResultService rather than via the initiating function
      call's return value.
    - Planner subclasses now get to select whether their Runner should
      run in a forked process. The base implementation requests this if
      the 'mitogen_isolation_mode=fork' task variable is present.

ansible_mitogen/runner.py:
    Teach runners to deliver their result via JobResultService executing
    in their indirect parent mux process.

ansible_mitogen/plugins/actions/mitogen_async_status.py:
    Split the implementation up into methods, and more compatibly
    emulate Ansible's existing output.

ansible_mitogen/process.py:
    Mux processes now host JobResultService.

ansible_mitogen/services.py:
    Update existing services to the new mitogen.service scheme, and
    implement JobResultService:

    * listen() method for synchronous jobs. planner.invoke() registers a
      Sender with the service prior to invoking the job, then sleeps
      waiting for the service to write the job result to the
      corresponding Receiver.

    * Non-blocking get() method for implementing mitogen_async_status
      action.

    * Child-accessible push() method for delivering task results.

ansible_mitogen/target.py:
    New helpers for spawning a virginal subprocess on startup, from
    which asynchronous and mitogen_task_isolation=fork jobs are forked.
    Necessary to avoid a task inheriting potentially
    polluted/monkey-patched parent environment, since remaining jobs
    continue to run in the original child process.

  output before/after the extension.

* When stdout/stderr are merged, synthesize carriage returns just like
  the TTY layer.

* Mimic the SSH connection multiplexing message on stderr. Not really
  for user code, but so compare_output_test.sh needs fewer fixups.

This permits graceful shutdown of individual contexts, without tearing

Update mitogen.parent.Stream to also wait for the child to exit, to
prevent the buildup of zombie processes. This introduces a blocking wait
for process exit on the Broker thread, let's see if we can get away with
it. Chances are reasonable that it'll cause needless hangs on heavily

David Wilson 54ff1c90fa issue #155: add DEL_ROUTE, propagate ADD_ROUTE upwards
* IDs are allocated by the parent responsible for contructing a new
  child, using ALLOCATE_ID to the master as necessary to allocate new ID
  ranges.

* ADD_ROUTE is sent up the tree rather than down. This permits
  construction of the new context to complete concurrent to parent
  contexts learning about its existence. Since all streams are strictly
  ordered, it's not possible for any parent to observe messages from the
  new context prior to arrival of an ADD_ROUTE from the parent notifying
  of its existence.

  If the new context, for example, implements an Ansible async task, its
  parent can start executing that without waiting for any synchronous
  confirmation from any parent or the master.

* Since routes propagate up, it's no longer possible for a plain
  non-parent child to ever receive ADD_ROUTE, so that code can be moved
  out of core.py and into parent.py (-0.2kb compressed).

* Add a .routes attribute to parent.Stream, and respond to disconnection
  signal on the stream by propagating DEL_ROUTE for any ADD_ROUTE ever
  received from that stream.

* Centralize route management in a new parent.RouteMonitor class

David Wilson 20f5d89dfa issue #156: fix several more races
* Don't need to sleep if queue>sleepers, can just pop the right queue
  element and return it.

* If queue>sleeping and waking==sleeping, no mechanism existed to ensure
  a thread newly added to sleeping would ever be woken. Above change
  fixes that.

* Cannot trust select() return value, scheduler might sleep us
  indefinitely while put() writes a byte.

* Sleeping threads didn't pop FIFO, they popped in whatever order
  scheduler woke them up. Must recover index and use it to pick the pop
  index.

David Wilson bdd8648bae ssh: enable compression by default
Using the same test as in 7af97c0365,
transmitted wire bytes drops from 135,531 to 133,071 (-1.81%), while
received drops from 21,073 to 14,775 (-30%).

Combined, both changes shave 13,914 bytes (-8.6%) off aggregate
bandwidth usage.

Make it configurable as compression hurts in some scenarios.

David Wilson 4d940f08ae importer: drop redundant prefix from pkg_present
For the 52 submodules of ansible.modules.system, this produced a 1602
byte pkg_present list. After stripping it becomes 406 bytes, and the
entire LOAD_MODULE size drops from 1988 bytes to 792 bytes (-60%).

For the 68 submodules of ansible.module_utils, 1902 bytes pkg_present
becomes 474 bytes (-75%), and LOAD_MODULE size drops from 2867 bytes to
1439 bytes (-49%).

In a simple test running Ansible's "setup" module followed by its "apt"
module, wire bytes sent drops from 140,357 to 135,531 (-3.4%).

David Wilson 20afa5b90c Latch v2: combined queue + one self-pipe-per-thread
Turns out it is far too easy to burn through available file descriptors,
so try something else: self-pipes are per thread, and only temporarily
associated with a Lack that wishes to sleep.

Reduce pointless locking by giving Latch its own queue, and removing
Queue.Queue() use in some places.

Temporarily undo merging of of Waker and Latch, let's do this one step
at a time.
