v0.2.8 (unreleased)
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
To avail of fixes in an unreleased version, please download a ZIP file
|
|
`directly from GitHub <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/>`_.
|
|
|
|
Enhancements
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
* `#587 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/587>`_: partial support for
|
|
Ansible 2.8 is now available. This implementation does not yet support the
|
|
new `become plugins
|
|
<https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/plugins/become.html>`_
|
|
functionality, which will be addressed in a future release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes
|
|
^^^^^
|
|
|
|
* `#590 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/590>`_: the importer can handle
|
|
modules that replace themselves in :mod:`sys.modules` during import.
|
|
|
|
* `#591 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/591>`_: the target's current
|
|
working directory is restored to a known-existent directory between tasks to
|
|
ensure :func:`os.getcwd` will not fail when called, in the same way that
|
|
:class:`AnsibleModule` restores it during initialization. However this
|
|
restore happens before the module ever executes, ensuring any code that calls
|
|
:func:`os.getcwd` prior to :class:`AnsibleModule` initialization, such as the
|
|
Ansible 2.7 ``pip`` module, cannot fail due to the behavior of a prior task.
|
|
|
|
* `#593 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/593>`_: the SSH connection method
|
|
exposes ``mitogen_ssh_keepalive_interval`` and
|
|
``mitogen_ssh_keepalive_count`` variables, and the default timeout for an SSH
|
|
server has been increased from `15*3` seconds to `30*10` seconds.
|
|
|

v0.2.7 (2019-05-19)
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
This release primarily exists to add a descriptive error message when running
|
|
on Ansible 2.8, which is not yet supported.
|
|
|
|
Fixes
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* `#557 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/557>`_: fix a crash when running
|
|
on machines with high CPU counts.
|
|
|
|
* `#570 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/570>`_: the ``firewalld`` module
|
|
internally caches a dbus name that changes across ``firewalld`` restarts,
|
|
causing a failure if the service is restarted between ``firewalld`` module invocations.
|
|
|
|
* `#575 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/575>`_: fix a crash when
|
|
rendering an error message to indicate no usable temporary directories could
|
|
be found.
|
|
|
|
* `#576 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/576>`_: fix a crash during
|
|
startup on SuSE Linux 11, due to an incorrect version compatibility check in
|
|
the Mitogen code.
|
|
|
|
* `#581 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/58>`_: a
|
|
``mitogen_mask_remote_name`` Ansible variable is exposed, to allow masking
|
|
the username, hostname and process ID of ``ansible-playbook`` running on the
|
|
controller machine.
|
|
|
|
* `#587 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/587>`_: display a friendly
|
|
message when running on an unsupported version of Ansible, to cope with
|
|
potential influx of 2.8-related bug reports.
|
|
|
|
|
|

v0.2.6 (2019-03-06)
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fixes
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* `#542 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/542>`_: some versions of OS X
|
|
ship a default Python that does not support :func:`select.poll`. Restore the
|
|
0.2.3 behaviour of defaulting to Kqueue in this case, but still prefer
|
|
:func:`select.poll` if it is available.
|
|
|
|
* `#545 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/545>`_: an optimization
|
|
introduced in `#493 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/493>`_ caused a
|
|
64-bit integer to be assigned to a 32-bit field on ARM 32-bit targets,
|
|
causing runs to fail.
|
|
|
|
* `#548 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/548>`_: `mitogen_via=` could fail
|
|
when the selected transport was set to ``smart``.
|
|
|
|
* `#550 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/550>`_: avoid some broken
|
|
TTY-related `ioctl()` calls on Windows Subsystem for Linux 2016 Anniversary
|
|
Update.
|
|
|
|
* `#554 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/554>`_: third party Ansible
|
|
action plug-ins that invoked :func:`_make_tmp_path` repeatedly could trigger
|
|
an assertion failure.
|
|
|
|
* `#555 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/555>`_: work around an old idiom
|
|
that reloaded :mod:`sys` in order to change the interpreter's default encoding.
|
|
|
|
* `ffae0355 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/ffae0355>`_: needless
|
|
information was removed from the documentation and installation procedure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Core Library
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* `#535 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/535>`_: to support function calls
|
|
on a service pool from another thread, :class:`mitogen.select.Select`
|
|
additionally permits waiting on :class:`mitogen.core.Latch`.
|
|
|
|
* `#535 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/535>`_:
|
|
:class:`mitogen.service.Pool.defer` allows any function to be enqueued for
|
|
the thread pool from another thread.
|
|
|
|
* `#535 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/535>`_: a new
|
|
:mod:`mitogen.os_fork` module provides a :func:`os.fork` wrapper that pauses
|
|
thread activity during fork. On Python<2.6, :class:`mitogen.core.Broker` and
|
|
:class:`mitogen.service.Pool` automatically record their existence so that a
|
|
:func:`os.fork` monkey-patch can automatically pause them for any attempt to
|
|
start a subprocess.
|
|
|
|
* `ca63c26e <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/ca63c26e>`_:
|
|
:meth:`mitogen.core.Latch.put`'s `obj` argument was made optional.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks!

v0.2.5 (2019-02-14)
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fixes
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* `#511 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/511>`_,
|
|
`#536 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/536>`_: changes in 0.2.4 to
|
|
repair ``delegate_to`` handling broke default ``ansible_python_interpreter``
|
|
handling. Test coverage was added.
|
|
|
|
* `#532 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/532>`_: fix a race in the service
|
|
used to propagate Ansible modules, that could easily manifest when starting
|
|
asynchronous tasks in a loop.
|
|
|
|
* `#536 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/536>`_: changes in 0.2.4 to
|
|
support Python 2.4 interacted poorly with modules that imported
|
|
``simplejson`` from a controller that also loaded an incompatible newer
|
|
version of ``simplejson``.
|
|
|
|
* `#537 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/537>`_: a swapped operator in the
|
|
CPU affinity logic meant 2 cores were reserved on 1<n<4 core machines, rather
|
|
than 1 core as desired. Test coverage was added.
|
|
|
|
* `#538 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/538>`_: the source distribution
|
|
includes a ``LICENSE`` file.
|
|
|
|
* `#539 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/539>`_: log output is no longer
|
|
duplicated when the Ansible ``log_path`` setting is enabled.
|
|
|
|
* `#540 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/540>`_: the ``stderr`` stream of
|
|
async module invocations was previously discarded.
|
|
|
|
* `#541 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/541>`_: Python error logs
|
|
originating from the ``boto`` package are quiesced, and only appear in
|
|
``-vvv`` output. This is since EC2 modules may trigger errors during normal
|
|
operation, when retrying transiently failing requests.
|
|
|
|
* `748f5f67 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/748f5f67>`_,
|
|
`21ad299d <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/21ad299d>`_,
|
|
`8ae6ca1d <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/8ae6ca1d>`_,
|
|
`7fd0d349 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/7fd0d349>`_:
|
|
the ``ansible_ssh_host``, ``ansible_ssh_user``, ``ansible_user``,
|
|
``ansible_become_method``, and ``ansible_ssh_port`` variables more correctly
|
|
match typical behaviour when ``mitogen_via=`` is active.
|
|
|
|
* `2a8567b4 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/2a8567b4>`_: fix a race
|
|
initializing a child's service thread pool on Python 3.4+, due to a change in
|
|
locking scheme used by the Python import mechanism.
|
|
|
|
|

v0.2.4 (2019-02-10)
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Mitogen for Ansible
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
This release includes a huge variety of important fixes and new optimizations.
|
|
It is 35% faster than 0.2.3 on a synthetic 64 target run that places heavy load
|
|
on the connection multiplexer.
|
|
|
|
Enhancements
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
* `#76 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/76>`_,
|
|
`#351 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/351>`_,
|
|
`#352 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/352>`_: disconnect propagation
|
|
has improved, allowing Ansible to cancel waits for responses from abruptly
|
|
disconnected targets. This ensures a task will reliably fail rather than
|
|
hang, for example on network failure or EC2 instance maintenance.
|
|
|
|
* `#369 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/369>`_,
|
|
`#407 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/407>`_: :meth:`Connection.reset`
|
|
is implemented, allowing `meta: reset_connection
|
|
<https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/meta_module.html>`_ to shut
|
|
down the remote interpreter as documented, and improving support for the
|
|
`reboot
|
|
<https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/reboot_module.html>`_
|
|
module.
|
|
|
|
* `09aa27a6 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/09aa27a6>`_: the
|
|
``mitogen_host_pinned`` strategy wraps the ``host_pinned`` strategy
|
|
introduced in Ansible 2.7.
|
|
|
|
* `#477 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/477>`_: Python 2.4 is fully
|
|
supported by the core library and tested automatically, in any parent/child
|
|
combination of 2.4, 2.6, 2.7 and 3.6 interpreters.
|
|
|
|
* `#477 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/477>`_: Ansible 2.3 is fully
|
|
supported and tested automatically. In combination with the core library
|
|
Python 2.4 support, this allows Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 targets to be
|
|
managed with Mitogen. The ``simplejson`` package need not be installed on
|
|
such targets, as is usually required by Ansible.
|
|
|
|
* `#412 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/412>`_: to simplify diagnosing
|
|
connection configuration problems, Mitogen ships a ``mitogen_get_stack``
|
|
action that is automatically added to the action plug-in path. See
|
|
:ref:`mitogen-get-stack` for more information.
|
|
|
|
* `152effc2 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/152effc2>`_,
|
|
`bd4b04ae <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/bd4b04ae>`_: a CPU affinity
|
|
policy was added for Linux controllers, reducing latency and SMP overhead on
|
|
hot paths exercised for every task. This yielded a 19% speedup in a 64-target
|
|
job composed of many short tasks, and should easily be visible as a runtime
|
|
improvement in many-host runs.
|
|
|
|
* `2b44d598 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/2b44d598>`_: work around a
|
|
defective caching mechanism by pre-heating it before spawning workers. This
|
|
saves 40% runtime on a synthetic repetitive task.
|
|
|
|
* `0979422a <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/0979422a>`_: an expensive
|
|
dependency scanning step was redundantly invoked for every task,
|
|
bottlenecking the connection multiplexer.
|
|
|
|
* `eaa990a97 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/eaa990a97>`_: a new
|
|
``mitogen_ssh_compression`` variable is supported, allowing Mitogen's default
|
|
SSH compression to be disabled. SSH compression is a large contributor to CPU
|
|
usage in many-target runs, and severely limits file transfer. On a `"shell:
|
|
hostname"` task repeated 500 times, Mitogen requires around 800 bytes per
|
|
task with compression, rising to 3 KiB without. File transfer throughput
|
|
rises from ~25MiB/s when enabled to ~200MiB/s when disabled.
|
|
|
|
* `#260 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/260>`_,
|
|
`a18a083c <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/a18a083c>`_: brokers no
|
|
longer wait for readiness indication to transmit, and instead assume
|
|
transmission will succeed. As this is usually true, one loop iteration and
|
|
two poller reconfigurations are avoided, yielding a significant reduction in
|
|
interprocess round-trip latency.
|
|
|
|
* `#415 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/415>`_,
|
|
`#491 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/491>`_,
|
|
`#493 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/493>`_: the interface employed
|
|
for in-process queues changed from `kqueue
|
|
<https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=kqueue&sektion=2>`_ / `epoll
|
|
<http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/epoll.7.html>`_ to `poll()
|
|
<http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/poll.2.html>`_, which requires no setup
|
|
or teardown, yielding a 38% latency reduction for inter-thread communication.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes
|
|
^^^^^
|
|
|
|
* `#251 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/251>`_,
|
|
`#359 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/359>`_,
|
|
`#396 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/396>`_,

`#434 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/434>`_,
|
|
`#436 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/436>`_,
|
|
`#465 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/465>`_: connection delegation and
|
|
``delegate_to:`` handling suffered a major regression in 0.2.3. The 0.2.2
|
|
behaviour has been restored, and further work has been made to improve the
|
|
compatibility of connection delegation's configuration building methods.
|
|
|
|
* `#323 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/323>`_,
|
|
`#333 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/333>`_: work around a Windows
|
|
Subsystem for Linux bug that caused tracebacks to appear during shutdown.
|
|
|
|
* `#334 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/334>`_: the SSH method
|
|
tilde-expands private key paths using Ansible's logic. Previously the path
|
|
was passed unmodified to SSH, which expanded it using :func:`pwd.getpwnam`.
|
|
This differs from :func:`os.path.expanduser`, which uses the ``HOME``
|
|
environment variable if it is set, causing behaviour to diverge when Ansible
|
|
was invoked across user accounts via ``sudo``.
|
|
|
|
* `#364 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/364>`_: file transfers from
|
|
controllers running Python 2.7.2 or earlier could be interrupted due to a
|
|
forking bug in the :mod:`tempfile` module.
|
|
|
|
* `#370 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/370>`_: the Ansible
|
|
`reboot <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/reboot_module.html>`_
|
|
module is supported.
|
|
|
|
* `#373 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/373>`_: the LXC and LXD methods
|
|
print a useful hint on failure, as no useful error is normally logged to the
|
|
console by these tools.
|
|
|
|
* `#374 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/374>`_,
|
|
`#391 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/391>`_: file transfer and module
|
|
execution from 2.x controllers to 3.x targets was broken due to a regression
|
|
caused by refactoring, and compounded by `#426
|
|
<https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/426>`_.
|
|
|
|
* `#400 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/400>`_: work around a threading
|
|
bug in the AWX display callback when running with high verbosity setting.
|
|
|
|
* `#409 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/409>`_: the setns method was
|
|
silently broken due to missing tests. Basic coverage was added to prevent a
|
|
recurrence.
|
|
|
|
* `#409 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/409>`_: the LXC and LXD methods
|
|
support ``mitogen_lxc_path`` and ``mitogen_lxc_attach_path`` variables to
|
|
control the location of third pary utilities.
|
|
|
|
* `#410 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/410>`_: the sudo method supports
|
|
the SELinux ``--type`` and ``--role`` options.
|
|
|
|
* `#420 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/420>`_: if a :class:`Connection`
|
|
was constructed in the Ansible top-level process, for example while executing
|
|
``meta: reset_connection``, resources could become undesirably shared in
|
|
subsequent children.
|
|
|
|
* `#426 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/426>`_: an oversight while
|
|
porting to Python 3 meant no automated 2->3 tests were running. A significant
|
|
number of 2->3 bugs were fixed, mostly in the form of Unicode/bytes
|
|
mismatches.
|
|
|
|
* `#429 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/429>`_: the ``sudo`` method can
|
|
now recognize internationalized password prompts.
|
|
|
|
* `#362 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/362>`_,
|
|
`#435 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/435>`_: the previous fix for slow
|
|
Python 2.x subprocess creation on Red Hat caused newly spawned children to
|
|
have a reduced open files limit. A more intrusive fix has been added to
|
|
directly address the problem without modifying the subprocess environment.
|
|
|
|
* `#397 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/397>`_,
|
|
`#454 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/454>`_: the previous approach to
|
|
handling modern Ansible temporary file cleanup was too aggressive, and could
|
|
trigger early finalization of Cython-based extension modules, leading to
|
|
segmentation faults.
|
|
|
|
* `#499 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/499>`_: the ``allow_same_user``
|
|
Ansible configuration setting is respected.
|
|
|
|
* `#527 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/527>`_: crashes in modules are
|
|
trapped and reported in a manner that matches Ansible. In particular, a
|
|
module crash no longer leads to an exception that may crash the corresponding
|
|
action plug-in.
|
|
|
|
* `dc1d4251 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/dc1d4251>`_: the
|
|
``synchronize`` module could fail with the Docker transport due to a missing
|
|
attribute.
|
|
|
|
* `599da068 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/599da068>`_: fix a race
|
|
when starting async tasks, where it was possible for the controller to
|
|
observe no status file on disk before the task had a chance to write one.
|
|
|
|
* `2c7af9f04 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/2c7af9f04>`_: Ansible
|
|
modules were repeatedly re-transferred. The bug was hidden by the previously
|
|
mandatorily enabled SSH compression.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Core Library
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* `#76 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/76>`_: routing records the
|
|
destination context IDs ever received on each stream, and when disconnection
|
|
occurs, propagates :data:`mitogen.core.DEL_ROUTE` messages towards every
|
|
stream that ever communicated with the disappearing peer, rather than simply
|
|
towards parents. Conversations between nodes anywhere in the tree receive
|
|
:data:`mitogen.core.DEL_ROUTE` when either participant disconnects, allowing
|
|
receivers to wake with :class:`mitogen.core.ChannelError`, even when one
|
|
participant is not a parent of the other.
|
|
|
|
* `#109 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/109>`_,
|
|
`57504ba6 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/57504ba6>`_: newer Python 3
|
|
releases explicitly populate :data:`sys.meta_path` with importer internals,
|
|
causing Mitogen to install itself at the end of the importer chain rather
|
|
than the front.
|
|
|
|
* `#310 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/310>`_: support has returned for
|
|
trying to figure out the real source of non-module objects installed in
|
|
:data:`sys.modules`, so they can be imported. This is needed to handle syntax
|
|
sugar used by packages like :mod:`plumbum`.
|
|
|
|
* `#349 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/349>`_: an incorrect format
|
|
string could cause large stack traces when attempting to import built-in
|
|
modules on Python 3.
|
|
|
|
* `#387 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/387>`_,
|
|
`#413 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/413>`_: dead messages include an
|
|
optional reason in their body. This is used to cause
|
|
:class:`mitogen.core.ChannelError` to report far more useful diagnostics at
|
|
the point the error occurs that previously would have been buried in debug
|
|
log output from an unrelated context.
|
|
|
|
* `#408 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/408>`_: a variety of fixes were
|
|
made to restore Python 2.4 compatibility.
|
|
|
|
* `#399 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/399>`_,
|
|
`#437 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/437>`_: ignore a
|
|
:class:`DeprecationWarning` to avoid failure of the ``su`` method on Python
|
|
3.7.
|
|
|
|
* `#405 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/405>`_: if an oversized message
|
|
is rejected, and it has a ``reply_to`` set, a dead message is returned to the
|
|
sender. This ensures function calls exceeding the configured maximum size
|
|
crash rather than hang.
|
|
|
|
* `#406 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/406>`_:
|
|
:class:`mitogen.core.Broker` did not call :meth:`mitogen.core.Poller.close`
|
|
during shutdown, leaking the underlying poller FD in masters and parents.
|
|
|
|
* `#406 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/406>`_: connections could leak
|
|
FDs when a child process failed to start.
|
|
|
|
* `#288 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/288>`_,
|
|
`#406 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/406>`_,
|
|
`#417 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/417>`_: connections could leave
|
|
FD wrapper objects that had not been closed lying around to be closed during
|
|
garbage collection, causing reused FD numbers to be closed at random moments.
|
|
|
|
* `#411 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/411>`_: the SSH method typed
|
|
"``y``" rather than the requisite "``yes``" when `check_host_keys="accept"`
|
|
was configured. This would lead to connection timeouts due to the hung
|
|
response.
|
|
|
|
* `#414 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/414>`_,
|
|
`#425 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/425>`_: avoid deadlock of forked
|
|
children by reinitializing the :mod:`mitogen.service` pool lock.
|
|
|
|
* `#416 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/416>`_: around 1.4KiB of memory
|
|
was leaked on every RPC, due to a list of strong references keeping alive any
|
|
handler ever registered for disconnect notification.
|
|
|
|
* `#418 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/418>`_: the
|
|
:func:`mitogen.parent.iter_read` helper would leak poller FDs, because
|
|
execution of its :keyword:`finally` block was delayed on Python 3. Now
|
|
callers explicitly close the generator when finished.
|
|
|
|
* `#422 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/422>`_: the fork method could
|
|
fail to start if :data:`sys.stdout` was opened in block buffered mode, and
|
|
buffered data was pending in the parent prior to fork.
|
|
|
|
* `#438 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/438>`_: a descriptive error is
|
|
logged when stream corruption is detected.
|
|
|
|
* `#439 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/439>`_: descriptive errors are
|
|
raised when attempting to invoke unsupported function types.
|
|
|
|
* `#444 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/444>`_: messages regarding
|
|
unforwardable extension module are no longer logged as errors.
|
|
|
|
* `#445 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/445>`_: service pools unregister
|
|
the :data:`mitogen.core.CALL_SERVICE` handle at shutdown, ensuring any
|
|
outstanding messages are either processed by the pool as it shuts down, or
|
|
have dead messages sent in reply to them, preventing peer contexts from
|
|
hanging due to a forgotten buffered message.
|
|
|
|
* `#446 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/446>`_: given thread A calling
|
|
:meth:`mitogen.core.Receiver.close`, and thread B, C, and D sleeping in
|
|
:meth:`mitogen.core.Receiver.get`, previously only one sleeping thread would
|
|
be woken with :class:`mitogen.core.ChannelError` when the receiver was
|
|
closed. Now all threads are woken per the docstring.
|
|
|
|
* `#447 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/447>`_: duplicate attempts to
|
|
invoke :meth:`mitogen.core.Router.add_handler` cause an error to be raised,
|
|
ensuring accidental re-registration of service pools are reported correctly.
|
|
|
|
* `#448 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/448>`_: the import hook
|
|
implementation now raises :class:`ModuleNotFoundError` instead of
|
|
:class:`ImportError` in Python 3.6 and above, to cope with an upcoming
|
|
version of the :mod:`subprocess` module requiring this new subclass to be
|
|
raised.
|
|
|
|
* `#453 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/453>`_: the loggers used in
|
|
children for standard IO redirection have propagation disabled, preventing
|
|
accidental reconfiguration of the :mod:`logging` package in a child from
|
|
setting up a feedback loop.
|
|
|
|
* `#456 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/456>`_: a descriptive error is
|
|
logged when :meth:`mitogen.core.Broker.defer` is called after the broker has
|
|
shut down, preventing new messages being enqueued that will never be sent,
|
|
and subsequently producing a program hang.
|
|
|
|
* `#459 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/459>`_: the beginnings of a
|
|
:meth:`mitogen.master.Router.get_stats` call has been added. The initial
|
|
statistics cover the module loader only.
|
|
|
|
* `#462 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/462>`_: Mitogen could fail to
|
|
open a PTY on broken Linux systems due to a bad interaction between the glibc
|
|
:func:`grantpt` function and an incorrectly mounted ``/dev/pts`` filesystem.
|
|
Since correct group ownership is not required in most scenarios, when this
|
|
problem is detected, the PTY is allocated and opened directly by the library.
|
|
|
|
* `#479 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/479>`_: Mitogen could fail to
|
|
import :mod:`__main__` on Python 3.4 and newer due to a breaking change in
|
|
the :mod:`pkgutil` API. The program's main script is now handled specially.
|
|
|
|
* `#481 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/481>`_: the version of `sudo`
|
|
that shipped with CentOS 5 replaced itself with the program to be executed,
|
|
and therefore did not hold any child PTY open on our behalf. The child
|
|
context is updated to preserve any PTY FD in order to avoid the kernel
|
|
sending `SIGHUP` early during startup.
|
|
|
|
* `#523 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/523>`_: the test suite didn't
|
|
generate a code coverage report if any test failed.
|
|
|
|
* `#524 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/524>`_: Python 3.6+ emitted a
|
|
:class:`DeprecationWarning` for :func:`mitogen.utils.run_with_router`.
|
|
|
|
* `#529 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/529>`_: Code coverage of the
|
|
test suite was not measured across all Python versions.
|
|
|
|
* `16ca111e <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/16ca111e>`_: handle OpenSSH
|
|
7.5 permission denied prompts when ``~/.ssh/config`` rewrites are present.
|
|
|
|
* `9ec360c2 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/9ec360c2>`_: a new
|
|
:meth:`mitogen.core.Broker.defer_sync` utility function is provided.
|
|
|
|
* `f20e0bba <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/f20e0bba>`_:
|
|
:meth:`mitogen.service.FileService.register_prefix` permits granting
|
|
unprivileged access to whole filesystem subtrees, rather than single files at
|
|
a time.
|
|
|
|
* `8f85ee03 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/8f85ee03>`_:
|
|
:meth:`mitogen.core.Router.myself` returns a :class:`mitogen.core.Context`
|
|
referring to the current process.
|
|
|
|
* `824c7931 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/824c7931>`_: exceptions
|
|
raised by the import hook were updated to include probable reasons for
|
|
a failure.
|
|
|
|
* `57b652ed <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/57b652ed>`_: a stray import
|
|
meant an extra roundtrip and ~4KiB of data was wasted for any context that
|
|
imported :mod:`mitogen.parent`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks!

|
|
Mitogen for Ansible
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Enhancements
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
* `#315 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/pull/315>`_,
|
|
`#392 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/392>`_: Ansible 2.6 and 2.7 are
|
|
supported.
|
|
|
|
* `#321 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/321>`_,
|
|
`#336 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/336>`_: temporary file handling
|
|
was simplified, undoing earlier damage caused by compatibility fixes,
|
|
improving 2.6 compatibility, and avoiding two network roundtrips for every
|
|
related action
|
|
(`assemble <http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/assemble_module.html>`_,
|
|
`aws_s3 <http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/aws_s3_module.html>`_,
|
|
`copy <http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/copy_module.html>`_,
|
|
`patch <http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/patch_module.html>`_,
|
|
`script <http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/script_module.html>`_,
|
|
`template <http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/template_module.html>`_,
|
|
`unarchive <http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/unarchive_module.html>`_,
|
|
`uri <http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/uri_module.html>`_). See
|
|
:ref:`ansible_tempfiles` for a complete description.
|
|
|
|
* `#376 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/pull/376>`_,
|
|
`#377 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/pull/377>`_: the ``kubectl`` connection
|
|
type is now supported. Contributed by Yannig Perré.
|
|
|
|
* `084c0ac0 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/084c0ac0>`_: avoid a
|
|
roundtrip in
|
|
`copy <http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/copy_module.html>`_ and
|
|
`template <http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/template_module.html>`_
|
|
due to an unfortunate default.
|
|
|
|
* `7458dfae <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/7458dfae>`_: avoid a
|
|
roundtrip when transferring files smaller than 124KiB. Copy and template
|
|
actions are now 2-RTT, reducing runtime for a 20-iteration template loop over
|
|
a 250 ms link from 30 seconds to 10 seconds compared to v0.2.2, down from 120
|
|
seconds compared to vanilla.
|
|
|
|
* `#337 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/337>`_: To avoid a scaling
|
|
limitation, a PTY is no longer allocated for an SSH connection unless the
|
|
configuration specifies a password.
|
|
|
|
* `d62e6e2a <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/d62e6e2a>`_: many-target
|
|
runs executed the dependency scanner redundantly due to missing
|
|
synchronization, wasting significant runtime in the connection multiplexer.
|
|
In one case work was reduced by 95%, which may manifest as faster runs.
|
|
|
|
* `5189408e <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/5189408e>`_: threads are
|
|
cooperatively scheduled, minimizing `GIL
|
|
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_interpreter_lock>`_ contention, and
|
|
reducing context switching by around 90%. This manifests as an overall
|
|
improvement, but is easily noticeable on short many-target runs, where
|
|
startup overhead dominates runtime.
|
|
|
|
* The `faulthandler <https://faulthandler.readthedocs.io/>`_ module is
|
|
automatically activated if it is installed, simplifying debugging of hangs.
|
|
See :ref:`diagnosing-hangs` for details.
|
|
|
|
* The ``MITOGEN_DUMP_THREAD_STACKS`` environment variable's value now indicates
|
|
the number of seconds between stack dumps. See :ref:`diagnosing-hangs` for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes
|
|
^^^^^
|
|
|
|
* `#251 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/251>`_,
|
|
`#340 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/340>`_: Connection Delegation
|
|
could establish connections to the wrong target when ``delegate_to:`` is
|
|
present.
|
|
|
|
* `#291 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/291>`_: when Mitogen had
|
|
previously been installed using ``pip`` or ``setuptools``, the globally
|
|
installed version could conflict with a newer version bundled with an
|
|
extension that had been installed using the documented steps. Now the bundled
|
|
library always overrides over any system-installed copy.
|
|
|
|
* `#324 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/324>`_: plays with a
|
|
`custom module_utils <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/config.html#default-module-utils-path>`_
|
|
would fail due to fallout from the Python 3 port and related tests being
|
|
disabled.
|
|
|
|
* `#331 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/331>`_: the connection
|
|
multiplexer subprocess always exits before the main Ansible process, ensuring
|
|
logs generated by it do not overwrite the user's prompt when ``-vvv`` is
|
|
enabled.
|
|
|
|
* `#332 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/332>`_: support a new
|
|
:func:`sys.excepthook`-based module exit mechanism added in Ansible 2.6.
|
|
|
|
* `#338 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/338>`_: compatibility: changes to
|
|
``/etc/environment`` and ``~/.pam_environment`` made by a task are reflected
|
|
in the runtime environment of subsequent tasks. See
|
|
:ref:`ansible_process_env` for a complete description.
|
|
|
|
* `#343 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/343>`_: the sudo ``--login``
|
|
option is supported.
|
|
|
|
* `#344 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/344>`_: connections no longer
|
|
fail when the controller's login username contains slashes.
|
|
|
|
* `#345 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/345>`_: the ``IdentitiesOnly
|
|
yes`` option is no longer supplied to OpenSSH by default, better matching
|
|
Ansible's behaviour.
|
|
|
|
* `#355 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/355>`_: tasks configured to run
|
|
in an isolated forked subprocess were forked from the wrong parent context.
|
|
This meant built-in modules overridden via a custom ``module_utils`` search
|
|
path may not have had any effect.
|
|
|
|
* `#362 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/362>`_: to work around a slow
|
|
algorithm in the :mod:`subprocess` module, the maximum number of open files
|
|
in processes running on the target is capped to 512, reducing the work
|
|
required to start a subprocess by >2000x in default CentOS configurations.
|
|
|
|
* `#397 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/397>`_: recent Mitogen master
|
|
versions could fail to clean up temporary directories in a number of
|
|
circumstances, and newer Ansibles moved to using :mod:`atexit` to effect
|
|
temporary directory cleanup in some circumstances.

|
|
`2c287801 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/2c287801>`_: OpenSSH 7.5
|
|
permission denied prompts are now recognized. Contributed by Alex Willmer.
|
|
|
|
* A missing check caused an exception traceback to appear when using the
|
|
``ansible`` command-line tool with a missing or misspelled module name.
|
|
|
|
* Ansible since >=2.7 began importing :mod:`__main__` from
|
|
:mod:`ansible.module_utils.basic`, causing an error during execution, due to
|
|
the controller being configured to refuse network imports outside the
|
|
``ansible.*`` namespace. Update the target implementation to construct a stub
|
|
:mod:`__main__` module to satisfy the otherwise seemingly vestigial import.
|
|
|
|

Core Library
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* A new :class:`mitogen.parent.CallChain` class abstracts safe pipelining of
|
|
related function calls to a target context, cancelling the chain if an
|
|
exception occurs.
|
|
|
|
* `#305 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/305>`_: fix a long-standing minor
|
|
race relating to the logging framework, where *no route for Message..*
|
|
would frequently appear during startup.
|
|
|
|
* `#313 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/313>`_:
|
|
:meth:`mitogen.parent.Context.call` was documented as capable of accepting
|
|
static methods. While possible on Python 2.x the result is ugly, and in every
|
|
case it should be trivial to replace with a classmethod. The documentation
|
|
was fixed.
|
|
|
|
* `#337 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/337>`_: to avoid a scaling
|
|
limitation, a PTY is no longer allocated for each OpenSSH client if it can be
|
|
avoided. PTYs are only allocated if a password is supplied, or when
|
|
`host_key_checking=accept`. This is since Linux has a default of 4096 PTYs
|
|
(``kernel.pty.max``), while OS X has a default of 127 and an absolute maximum
|
|
of 999 (``kern.tty.ptmx_max``).
|
|
|
|
* `#339 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/339>`_: the LXD connection method
|
|
was erroneously executing LXC Classic commands.
|
|
|
|
* `#345 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/345>`_: the SSH connection method
|
|
allows optionally disabling ``IdentitiesOnly yes``.
|
|
|
|
* `#356 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/356>`_: if the master Python
|
|
process does not have :data:`sys.executable` set, the default Python
|
|
interpreter used for new children on the local machine defaults to
|
|
``"/usr/bin/python"``.
|
|
|
|
* `#366 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/366>`_,
|
|
`#380 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/380>`_: attempts by children to
|
|
import :mod:`__main__` where the main program module lacks an execution guard
|
|
are refused, and an error is logged. This prevents a common and highly
|
|
confusing error when prototyping new scripts.
|
|
|
|
* `#371 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/pull/371>`_: the LXC connection method
|
|
uses a more compatible method to establish an non-interactive session.
|
|
Contributed by Brian Candler.
|
|
|
|
* `af2ded66 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/af2ded66>`_: add
|
|
:func:`mitogen.fork.on_fork` to allow non-Mitogen managed process forks to
|
|
clean up Mitogen resources in the child.
|
|
|
|
* `d6784242 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/d6784242>`_: the setns method
|
|
always resets ``HOME``, ``SHELL``, ``LOGNAME`` and ``USER`` environment
|
|
variables to an account in the target container, defaulting to ``root``.
|
|
|
|
* `830966bf <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/commit/830966bf>`_: the UNIX
|
|
listener no longer crashes if the peer process disappears in the middle of
|
|
connection setup.

v0.2.2 (2018-07-26)
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Mitogen for Ansible
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* `#291 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/291>`_: ``ansible_*_interpreter``
|
|
variables are parsed using a restrictive shell-like syntax, supporting a
|
|
common idiom where ``ansible_python_interpreter`` is set to ``/usr/bin/env
|
|
python``.
|
|
|
|
* `#299 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/299>`_: fix the ``network_cli``
|
|
connection type when the Mitogen strategy is active. Mitogen cannot help
|
|
network device connections, however it should still be possible to use device
|
|
connections while Mitogen is active.
|
|
|
|
* `#301 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/pull/301>`_: variables like ``$HOME`` in
|
|
the ``remote_tmp`` setting are evaluated correctly.
|
|
|
|
* `#303 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/pull/303>`_: the :ref:`doas` become method
|
|
is supported. Contributed by `Mike Walker
|
|
<https://github.com/napkindrawing>`_.
|
|
|
|
* `#309 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/309>`_: fix a regression to
|
|
process environment cleanup, caused by the change in v0.2.1 to run local
|
|
tasks with the correct environment.
|
|
|
|
* `#317 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/317>`_: respect the verbosity
|
|
setting when writing to Ansible's ``log_path``, if it is enabled. Child log
|
|
filtering was also incorrect, causing the master to needlessly wake many
|
|
times. This nets a 3.5% runtime improvement running against the local
|
|
machine.
|
|
|
|
* The ``mitogen_ssh_debug_level`` variable is supported, permitting SSH debug
|
|
output to be included in Mitogen's ``-vvv`` output when both are specified.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Core Library
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* `#291 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/291>`_: the ``python_path``
|
|
parameter may specify an argument vector prefix rather than a string program
|
|
path.
|
|
|
|
* `#300 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/300>`_: the broker could crash on
|
|
OS X during shutdown due to scheduled `kqueue
|
|
<https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=kevent>`_ filter changes for
|
|
descriptors that were closed before the IO loop resumes. As a temporary
|
|
workaround, kqueue's bulk change feature is not used.
|
|
|
|
* `#303 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/pull/303>`_: the :ref:`doas` become method
|
|
is now supported. Contributed by `Mike Walker
|
|
<https://github.com/napkindrawing>`_.
|
|
|
|
* `#307 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/307>`_: SSH login banner output
|
|
containing the word 'password' is no longer confused for a password prompt.
|
|
|
|
* `#319 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/319>`_: SSH connections would
|
|
fail immediately on Windows Subsystem for Linux, due to use of `TCSAFLUSH`
|
|
with :func:`termios.tcsetattr`. The flag is omitted if WSL is detected.
|
|
|
|
* `#320 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/320>`_: The OS X poller
|
|
could spuriously wake up due to ignoring an error bit set on events returned
|
|
by the kernel, manifesting as a failure to read from an unrelated descriptor.
|
|
|
|
* `#342 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/342>`_: The ``network_cli``
|
|
connection type would fail due to a missing internal SSH plugin method.
|
|
|
|
* Standard IO forwarding accidentally configured the replacement ``stdout`` and
|
|
``stderr`` write descriptors as non-blocking, causing subprocesses that
|
|
generate more output than kernel buffer space existed to throw errors. The
|
|
write ends are now configured as blocking.
|
|
|
|
* When :func:`mitogen.core.enable_profiling` is active, :mod:`mitogen.service`
|
|
threads are profiled just like other threads.
|
|
|
|
* The ``ssh_debug_level`` parameter is supported, permitting SSH debug output
|
|
to be redirected to a Mitogen logger when specified.
|
|
|
|
* Debug logs containing command lines are printed with the minimal quoting and
|
|
escaping required.
|

v0.2.1 (2018-07-10)
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Mitogen for Ansible
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* `#297 <https://github.com/dw/mitogen/issues/297>`_: compatibility: local
|
|
actions set their working directory to that of their defining playbook, and
|
|
inherit a process environment as if they were executed as a subprocess of the
|
|
forked task worker.
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.2.0 (2018-07-09)
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Mitogen 0.2.x is the inaugural feature-frozen branch eligible for fixes only,
|
|
except for problem areas listed as in-scope below. While stable from a
|
|
development perspective, it should still be considered "beta" at least for the
|
|
initial releases.
|
|
|
|
**In Scope**
|
|
|
|
* Python 3.x performance improvements
|
|
* Subprocess reaping improvements
|
|
* Major documentation improvements
|
|
* PyPI/packaging improvements
|
|
* Test suite improvements
|
|
* Replacement CI system to handle every supported OS
|
|
* Minor deviations from vanilla Ansible behaviour
|
|
* Ansible ``raw`` action support
|
|
|
|
The goal is a *tick/tock* model where even-numbered series are a maturation of
|
|
the previous unstable series, and unstable series are released on PyPI with
|
|
``--pre`` enabled. The API and user visible behaviour should remain unchanged
|
|
within a stable series.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mitogen for Ansible
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* Support for Ansible 2.3 - 2.7.x and any mixture of Python 2.6, 2.7 or 3.6 on
|
|
controller and target nodes.
|
|
|
|
* Drop-in support for many Ansible connection types.
|
|
|
|
* Preview of Connection Delegation feature.
|
|
|
|
* Built-in file transfer compatible with connection delegation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Core Library
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* Synchronous connection establishment via OpenSSH, sudo, su, Docker, LXC and
|
|
FreeBSD Jails, local subprocesses and :func:`os.fork`. Parallel connection
|
|
setup is possible using multiple threads. Connections may be used from one or
|
|
many threads after establishment.
|
|
|
|
* UNIX masters and children, with Linux, MacOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and
|
|
Windows Subsystem for Linux explicitly supported.
|
|
|
|
* Automatic tests covering Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.6 on Linux only.
