Branches: MAIN
CVS tags: HEAD
Add child exit handling to server trim branch of the develoment.  Note:
The other signals are still not appropriately handled.  Therefore do not
yet set DieWhenIdle true unless you are just playing around... and certainly
not in production servers.

=head2 SetupTimer

Sets up a 1 per sec recurring timer event.  The event handler is used to:

=item

Trigger timeouts on communications along active sockets.

=item

Trigger disconnections of idle sockets.

=cut

sub SetupTimer {
    Debug(6, "SetupTimer");
    Event->timer(interval => 1, cb => \&Tick );
}

=pod

=head2 ServerToIdle

This function is called when a connection to the server is
ready for more work.

If there is work in the Work queue the top element is dequeued
and the connection will start to work on it.  If the work queue is
empty, the connection is pushed on the idle connection stack where
it will either get another work unit, or alternatively, if it sits there
long enough, it will be shut down and released.

=cut

sub ServerToIdle {
    my $Socket   = shift;	# Get the socket.
    $KeyMode = $Socket->{AuthenticationMode};
    delete($ActiveTransactions{$Socket}); # Server has no transaction

    #  If there's work to do, start the transaction:

    my $reqdata = $WorkQueue->dequeue(); # This is a LondTransaction
    if ($reqdata ne undef)  {
	Debug(5, "Queue gave request data: ".$reqdata->getRequest());
	&StartRequest($Socket,  $reqdata);

    } else {
	
    #  There's no work waiting, so push the server to idle list.
	&Debug(5, "No new work requests, server connection going idle");

    }
}

=pod

=head2 ClientWritable

Event callback for when a client socket is writable.

This callback is established when a transaction reponse is
avaiable from lond.  The response is forwarded to the unix socket
as it becomes writable in this sub.

Parameters:

=item Event

The event that has been triggered. Event->w->data is
the data and Event->w->fd is the socket to write.

=cut

sub ClientWritable {
    my $Event    = shift;
    my $Watcher  = $Event->w;

    if($Socket->connected) {
	my $result = $Socket->send($Data, 0);
	
	# $result undefined: the write failed.
	# otherwise $result is the number of bytes written.
	# Remove that preceding string from the data.
	# If the resulting data is empty, destroy the watcher
	# and set up a read event handler to accept the next
	# request.
	
	&Debug(9,"Send result is ".$result." Defined: ".defined($result));
	if($result ne undef) {

		if($result == 0) {    # client hung up on us!!
		    # Log("INFO", "lonc pipe client hung up on us!");
		    $Watcher->cancel;
		    $Socket->shutdown(2);
		    $Socket->close();
		}
	    }
	    
	} else {			# Error of some sort...

=pod

=head2 CompleteTransaction

Called when the reply data has been received for a lond 
transaction.   The reply data must now be sent to the
ultimate client on the other end of the Unix socket.  This is
done by setting up a writable event for the socket with the
data the reply data.

Parameters:

=item Socket

Socket on which the lond transaction occured.  This is a
LondConnection. The data received is in the TransactionReply member.

=item Transaction

The transaction that is being completed.

=cut

sub CompleteTransaction {
    &Debug(5,"Complete transaction");

    my ($Socket, $Transaction) = @_;

    if (!$Transaction->isDeferred()) { # Normal transaction
	my $data   = $Socket->GetReply(); # Data to send.
	if($LogTransactions) {
	    Log("SUCCESS", "Reply from lond: '$data'");
	}
	StartClientReply($Transaction, $data);
    } else {			# Delete deferred transaction file.
	Log("SUCCESS", "A delayed transaction was completed");
	LogPerm("S:$Transaction->getClient() :".$Transaction->getRequest());
	unlink $Transaction->getFile();
    }
}

=pod

=head1 StartClientReply

   Initiates a reply to a client where the reply data is a parameter.

=head2  parameters:

=item Transaction

    The transaction for which we are responding to the client.

=item data

    The data to send to apached client.

=cut

sub StartClientReply {

    my ($Transaction, $data) = @_;

    my $Client   = $Transaction->getClient();

    &Debug(8," Reply was: ".$data);
    my $Serial         = $ActiveClients{$Client};

	      poll     => "w",
	      desc     => $desc,
	      cb       => \&ClientWritable,
	      data     => $data);
}

=pod

=head2 FailTransaction

  Finishes a transaction with failure because the associated lond socket
  disconnected.  There are two possibilities:
  - The transaction is deferred: in which case we just quietly
    delete the transaction since there is no client connection.
  - The transaction is 'live' in which case we initiate the sending
    of "con_lost" to the client.

Deleting the transaction means killing it from the %ActiveTransactions hash.

Parameters:

=item client  
 
   The LondTransaction we are failing.
 

=cut

sub FailTransaction {
    my $transaction = shift;
    
    #  If the socket is dead, that's already logged.

    if ($ConnectionRetriesLeft > 0) {
	Log("WARNING", "Failing transaction "
	    .$transaction->getRequest());
    }
    Debug(1, "Failing transaction: ".$transaction->getRequest());
    if (!$transaction->isDeferred()) { # If the transaction is deferred we'll get to it.
	my $client  = $transaction->getClient();
	Debug(1," Replying con_lost to ".$transaction->getRequest());
	StartClientReply($transaction, "con_lost\n");
    }

}

=pod
=head1  EmptyQueue

  Fails all items in the work queue with con_lost.
  Note that each item in the work queue is a transaction.

=cut
sub EmptyQueue {
    $ConnectionRetriesLeft--;	# Counts as connection failure too.
    while($WorkQueue->Count()) {
	my $request = $WorkQueue->dequeue(); # This is a transaction
	FailTransaction($request);
    }
}

=pod

=head2 CloseAllLondConnections

Close all connections open on lond prior to exit e.g.

=cut
sub CloseAllLondConnections {
    foreach my $Socket (keys %ActiveConnections) {
      if(exists($ActiveTransactions{$Socket})) {
	FailTransaction($ActiveTransactions{$Socket});
      }
      KillSocket($Socket);
    }
}
=cut

=pod

=head2 KillSocket
 
Destroys a socket.  This function can be called either when a socket
has died of 'natural' causes or because a socket needs to be pruned due to
idleness.  If the socket has died naturally, if there are no longer any 
live connections a new connection is created (in case there are transactions
in the queue).  If the socket has been pruned, it is never re-created.

Parameters:

=item Socket
 
  The socket to kill off.

=item Restart

nonzero if we are allowed to create a new connection.


=cut
sub KillSocket {
    my $Socket = shift;

    Log("WARNING", "Shutting down a socket");
    $Socket->Shutdown();

    #  If the socket came from the active connection set,
    #  delete its transaction... note that FailTransaction should
    #  already have been called!!!
    #  otherwise it came from the idle set.
    #  
    
    if(exists($ActiveTransactions{$Socket})) {
	delete ($ActiveTransactions{$Socket});
    }
    if(exists($ActiveConnections{$Socket})) {
	delete($ActiveConnections{$Socket});
	$ConnectionCount--;
	if ($ConnectionCount < 0) { $ConnectionCount = 0; }
    }
    #  If the connection count has gone to zero and there is work in the
    #  work queue, the work all gets failed with con_lost.
    #
    if($ConnectionCount == 0) {
	EmptyQueue();
	CloseAllLondConnections; # Should all already be closed but...
    }
}

=pod

=head2 LondReadable

This function is called whenever a lond connection
is readable.  The action is state dependent:

=head3 State=Initialized

We''re waiting for the challenge, this is a no-op until the
state changes.

=head3 State=Challenged 

The challenge has arrived we need to transition to Writable.
The connection must echo the challenge back.

=head3 State=ChallengeReplied

The challenge has been replied to.  The we are receiveing the 
'ok' from the partner.

=head3  State=ReadingVersionString

We have requested the lond version and are reading the
version back.  Upon completion, we'll store the version away
for future use(?).

=head3 State=HostSet

We have selected the domain name of our peer (multhomed hosts)
and are getting the reply (presumably ok) back.

=head3 State=RequestingKey

The ok has been received and we need to send the request for
an encryption key.  Transition to writable for that.

=head3 State=ReceivingKey

The the key has been requested, now we are reading the new key.

=head3 State=Idle 

The encryption key has been negotiated or we have finished 
reading data from the a transaction.   If the callback data has
a client as well as the socket iformation, then we are 
doing a transaction and the data received is relayed to the client
before the socket is put on the idle list.

=head3 State=SendingRequest

I do not think this state can be received here, but if it is,
the appropriate thing to do is to transition to writable, and send
the request.

=head3 State=ReceivingReply

We finished sending the request to the server and now transition
to readable to receive the reply. 

The parameter to this function are:

The event. Implicit in this is the watcher and its data.  The data 
contains at least the lond connection object and, if a 
transaction is in progress, the socket attached to the local client.

=head2 LondWritable

This function is called whenever a lond connection
becomes writable while there is a writeable monitoring
event.  The action taken is very state dependent:

=head3 State = Connected 

The connection is in the process of sending the 'init' hailing to the
lond on the remote end.  The connection object''s Writable member is
called.  On error, ConnectionError is called to destroy the connection
and remove it from the ActiveConnections hash

=head3 Initialized

'init' has been sent, writability monitoring is removed and
readability monitoring is started with LondReadable as the callback.

=head3 ChallengeReceived

The connection has received the who are you challenge from the remote
system, and is in the process of sending the challenge
response. Writable is called.

=head3 ChallengeReplied

The connection has replied to the initial challenge The we switch to
monitoring readability looking for the server to reply with 'ok'.

=head3 RequestingKey

The connection is in the process of requesting its encryption key.
Writable is called.

=head3 ReceivingKey

The connection has sent the request for a key.  Switch to readability
monitoring to accept the key

=head3 SendingRequest

The connection is in the process of sending a request to the server.
This request is part of a client transaction.  All the states until
now represent the client setup protocol. Writable is called.

=head3 ReceivingReply

The connection has sent a request.  Now it must receive a reply.
Readability monitoring is requested.

This function is an event handler and therefore receives as
a parameter the event that has fired.  The data for the watcher
of this event is a reference to a list of one or two elements,
depending on state. The first (and possibly only) element is the
socket.  The second (present only if a request is in progress)
is the socket on which to return a reply to the caller.

=head1 Theory

The event class is used to build this as a single process with an
event driven model.  The following events are handled:

=item UNIX Socket connection Received

=item Request data arrives on UNIX data transfer socket.

=item lond connection becomes writable.

=item timer fires at 1 second intervals.

All sockets are run in non-blocking mode.  Timeouts managed by the timer
handler prevents hung connections.

Key data structures:

=item RequestQueue

A queue of requests received from UNIX sockets that are
waiting for a chance to be forwarded on a lond connection socket.

=item ActiveConnections

A hash of lond connections that have transactions in process that are
available to be timed out.

=item ActiveTransactions

A hash indexed by lond connections that contain the client reply
socket for each connection that has an active transaction on it.

=item IdleConnections

A hash of lond connections that have no work to do.  These connections
can be closed if they are idle for a long enough time.
