Didn't catch that.  Fixed.

FIONBIO isn't available by default as it is a BSD thing.  You're  
"supposed" to use fcntl on Solaris.  fcntl is slower and ioctl _will_  
work, but the define of FIONBIO is in sys/filio.h.  You get it if you  
turn on BSD compatibility when including ioctl.h, but we don't want  
the other stuff that comes with that.  So far, that single line of  
code is the only one requiring BSD_COMP on Solaris side, so I'm  
hesitant to -DBSD_COMP the whole thing.

> You have not answered my questions about .so and sendfile ?

.o -> .so is not purely cosmetic.  There is an issue with the Sun  
Studio toolchain that makes .o not work.
sendfile on Solaris should be safe.  When the call returns no bits  
should be referenced at all.

We're not even remotely close to concurrency, so I'd prefer to stick
with fcntl until we see any actual problems.

Ok, fair enough.

You still have the err.h compat stuff, that's not necessary any more,
I removed the two uses of err().

Why is the tcp.c patch necessay ?

Next pass:

http://lethargy.org/~jesus/misc/varnish-solaris-trunk-3080.diff

cleaned up some redundant includes
removed the flock stuff (not Solaris related)
made the cache_acceptor_ports use ->pass
removed unnecessary things (includes, defines and initializations...  
removed from my patch only)
made the umem allocator a "new file" instead of a modified svn copy of  
the malloc allocator.

Patch is about half the size of the previous one.  AWESOME progress.   
This is great.  Thanks for your attention phk!

Ah, good catch.  That wasn't a patch for Solaris.  It was for Linux.   
We've run into some issues with flock being more reliable than fcntl  
on Linux under high concurrency environments.  We ran into this  
problem on another project and thought to make a preemptive strike in  
Varnish.

However, my patch prefers flock over fcntl, which is clearly wrong as  
it might do that on BSD*.  flock() on Solaris is only available with - 
lucb (the meager BSD-ish compatibility layer).  So, with that patch,  
Solaris still uses fcntl. (Go POSIX!)

The ugly way we did it on the other project (FastXSL) that had this  
issue is here:

I asked the internal engineering team at Sun, they said that it has no  
references.  I asked move forcefully and they did a code review  
(albeit very short) and said again that it had no references.  So, at  
this point, I believe that it is safe to use in Varnish.

My mistake.  I wasn't thorough when I merged up to trunk.  No conflict  
and my lack of attention.  Ignore that.

> just cosmetics ?

The Sun Studio toolchain barfs on the .o.  It "knows better" and seems  
to ignore the request to make it shared.  I could get around this with  
a shell scripts (as you had once suggested), but this change makes it  
work in all the toolchains I have tried "out of the box"

Will do.  Not sure how that got reverted actually.

I believe that is left over from something else.  A valgrind warning  
-- but that could only have been due to other code I added and then  
removed.  It looks clean and safe without initialization.

OK, I've picked the obvious stuff out.

Various questions about the rest:

Doesn't Solaris have fcntl(F_SETLK) as mandated by POSIX ?
flock() is not a standardized API, and I havn't seen a system yet
which supports it, which doesn't also have fcntl(F_SETLK), so I
would rather not mess up the source with a pointless check.

Do you know for sure that sendfile on Solaris has no reference to the
relevant parts of the file when it returns ?  Otherwise it is not safe
to use.


Why is the extra include of  necessary in storage_file.c ?


Is there a reason to name the shared object .so instead of .o or is it
just cosmetics ?


In cache_acceptor.c, please implement the "->pass" function which does
the port_send() call.


Why the initialization in mgt_child.c ?

This seems to try to patch bin/varnishd/storage_umem.c which isn't in

Fresh patch for Solaris

2008-08-10 Thread Theo Schlossnagle
http://lethargy.org/~jesus/misc/varnish-solaris-trunk-3071.diff

This is cleaned up a bit.  Nothing really new, just updated to trunk  
3071.

Some nice things worth cherry picking (IMHO)

err/errx in libvarnishcompat (from NetBSD)
replacement of the ifdef'd compile stuff with a define set in configure
umem allocator -- should scale much better than malloc

Anyway, anyone running Varnish on Solaris, please rev your engines and  
give this a spin.

autogen.sh
CC=cc CFLAGS="-mt -m64" ./configure
make
