While adding support for non-new style module types, NewStyleRunner
began writing modules to a temporary file, and sys.argv was patched to
actually include the script filename. The argv change was never required
to fix any particular bug, and a search of the standard modules reveals
no argv users. Update argv[0] to be '', like an interactive interpreter
would have.
While fixing #210, new style runner began setting __file__ to the
temporary file path in order to allow apt.py to discover the Ansiballz
temporary directory. 5 out of 1,516 standard modules follow this
pattern, but in each case, none actually attempt to access __file__,
they just call dirname on it. Therefore do not write the contents of
file, simply set it to the path as it would exist, within a real
temporary directory.
Finally move temporary directory creation out of runner and into target.
Now a single directory exists for the duration of a run, and is emptied
by runner.py as necessary after each task invocation.
This could be further extended to stop rewriting non-new-style modules
in a with_items loop, but that's another step.
Finally the last bullet point in the documentation almost isn't a lie
again.
Ideally it would be possible to specify a callback function, but this is
not possible for proxied connections. So simply provide the 3 most
useful modes, defaulting to the most secure.
Closes#127. Closes#134.
In Ansible, depending on when CTRL+C is triggered, if it occurs after
the connection multiplexer process has forked, and after it has in turn
forked the "connection: local" context and its corresponding "clean fork
parent", since all the broker processes still belong to Ansible's
terminal foreground process group, they are all capable of receiving
SIGINT in response to CTRL+C being pressed on that terminal.
This papers over the problem. Really we want those KeyboardInterrupts to
be logged, to call setsid() frmo the connection multiplexer process to
isolate it from the terminal foreground process group. That way its only
indication of top-level process shutdown is using the graceful
disconnect mechanism that already exists in process.py::worker_main().
_sockets only refers to the idle sockets list, it doesn't refer to every
socket currently in use by a Latch, for example, the 2*16 used by e.g.
Ansible's sleeping service pool.
The GIL could be lost between the check for an empty list and popping a
socket off the list. Previously _tls_init (per its name) used per-thread
storage, hence the bug.
