This abstracts the pattern found in parent.ModuleForwarder and to a
lesser degree master.ModuleResponser. We can probably use it in those
contexts later.
Not sure why this wasn't done before, seems it should have always been
this way, and can't see any reason it wasn't. Without it, many fds are
leaked into at least .local() children. Closes#163.
* 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
* 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.
- If latch.get() is called and the queue is empty, a thread is put to
sleep.
- If Latch.put() from another thread then appends an item to the queue and
wakes the sleeping thread, and
- If a subsequent Latch.put() from the same or another thread manages to
acquire `lock` before the sleeping thread is scheduled,
- The sleeping thread's wake socket would have multiple bytes written to
it.
Therefore create a new _pending variable to track the only item assigned
to each thread (keyed by its write socket), and remove the socket from
`sleeping` from within put.
