int "Number of pre-allocated I/O buffers"
This commit adds an as-of-yet untested implemented of UDP write buffering. Squashed commit of the following: net/udp: Address most of the issues with UDP write buffering. There is a remaining issue with handling one network going down in a multi-network environment. None of this has been test but it is certainly ready for test. Hence, the feature is marked EXPERIMENTAL. net/udp: Some baby steps toward a corrected write buffering design. net/udp: Remove pesky write buffer macros. Eliminate trailing space at the end of lines. net/udp: A little more UDP write buffering logic. Still at least on big gaping hole in the design. net/udp: Undefined CONFIG_NET_SENDTO_TIMEOUT. net/udp: Crude, naive port of the TCP write buffering logic into UDP. This commit is certainly non-functional and is simply a starting point for the implementatin of UDP write buffering. net/udp: Rename udp/udp_psock_sendto.c udp/udp_psock_sendto_unbuffered.c.

Add throttle support to the I/O buffer logic
2014-06-24 19:53:19 +02:00
---help---
TCP write buffering and read-ahead buffer use the same pool of free
I/O buffers. In order to prevent uncontrolled incoming TCP packets
from hogging all of the available, pre-allocated I/O buffers, a
throttling value is required. This throttle value assures that
I/O buffers will be denied to the read-ahead logic before TCP writes
are halted.

There can be a failure in IOB allocation to some asynchronous behavior caused by the use of sem_post(). Consider this scenario: Task A holds an IOB.  There are no further IOBs.  The value of semcount is zero. Task B calls iob_alloc().  Since there are not IOBs, it calls sem_wait().  The v alue of semcount is now -1. Task A frees the IOB.  iob_free() adds the IOB to the free list and calls sem_post() this makes Task B ready to run and sets semcount to zero NOT 1.  There is one IOB in the free list and semcount is zero.  When Task B wakes up it would increment the sem_count back to the correct value. But an interrupt or another task runs occurs before Task B executes.  The interrupt or other tak takes the IOB off of the free list and decrements the semcount.  But since semcount is then < 0, this causes the assertion because that is an invalid state in the interrupt handler. So I think that the root cause is that there the asynchrony between incrementing the semcount. This change separates the list of IOBs: Currently there is only a free list of IOBs. The problem, I believe, is because of asynchronies due sem_post() post cause the semcount and the list content to become out of sync. This change adds a new 'committed' list: When there is a task waiting for an IOB, it will go into the committed list rather than the free list before the semaphore is posted. On the waiting side, when awakened from the semaphore wait, it will expect to find its IOB in the committed list, rather than free list. In this way, the content of the free list and the value of the semaphore count always remain in sync.

This option will force debug output from I/O buffer logic. This
is not normally something that would want to do but is convenient
if you are debugging the I/O buffer logic and do not want to get
overloaded with other un-related debug output.
