- The receiver now sends keep-alive messages to the generator
when it is actively doing work and hasn't sent anything
recently. This ensures that the generator won't timeout
if the receiver is working hard.
- The perform_io() code has improved keep-alive participation.
- Allow the sender to send some keep-alive messages, which
ensures that if it is in a lull, it can probe the socket.
The receiving side also switches timeout handling from the receiver to
the generator, which obviates the need for the sender to send any
keep-alive messages at all (for protocol 31 and beyond). Given this
setup, all keep-alive messages are now sent as empty MSG_DATA messages,
with MSG_NOOP messages only being understood and (when necessary) acted
upon to forward a keep-alive event to an older receiver. This is both
safer and more compatible with older versions.
Files-from data is now sent as multiplexed I/O so that it can mingle
with any messages (such as debug output). Requires protocol 31.
Protocol 31 no longer disables output verbosity in a couple instances
that used to cause protocol issues.
Got rid of MSG_* messages that have implied raw data that follows after
them. We instead send a negative index value as a part of the raw data
stream, which is guaranteed to be output together with the following
data. This only affects the (in-progress) protocol 31 and the (self-
contained) communication stream from the receiver to the generator.
Added --debug=IO and improved --debug=FLIST. Some --debug=IO output
requires --msgs2stderr to be used to see it (i.e. sending a message
about sending a message would send another message, ad infinitum).
- Mention how many files were created (protocol >= 29).
- Mention how many files were deleted (new in protocol 31).
- Follow the file-count, created-count, and deleted-count
with a break-out list of each count by type.
- Renamed push_dir() to change_dir() and revised it a little so that it
can chdir() to a relative path without an intervening chdir() back to
the staring path.
- Renamed push_pathname() to change_pathname() and revised it to take
different args and to only call path_is_daemon_excluded() on a new
path (not a revisit of a file's already-checked path).
- Fixed change_pathname() to set the right pathname value when a chdir()
call fails.
- Set orig_dir once outside of the change_pathname() function.
- Got rid of pop_dir().
The sending side now has a sorted file-list in iconv mode so that it
can output progress in sorted order. Simplified the over-the-wire
index values to ensure both sides will always agree on the values.
Optimized the allocation of the dir_flist->sorted array on the
receiving side with --iconv and incremental recursion.
when the sender gets an index of a file to send, we make sure to
send enough future file-list data relative to the new cur_flist
value before we send the data for the file transfer (ensuring that
the generator gets the data in a more timely manner), and (2) the
generator flushes the output socket after each file-list object
has completed its scan so that the sender knows in a more timely
manner that more list data is needed.
were moved out of file_struct into an optional member-var setup.
- Renamed and reorganized the FLAG_* defines.
- Use NDX_DONE instead of a literal -1 when sending/checking the
end-of-phase index value.
