Currently management threads do their own thread setup and handling. This
patch introduces a new way of handling management threads.
Functionality that needs to run as a management thread can now register
itself as a regular 'thread module' (TmModule), where the 'Management'
callback is registered.
The flow end flags field is filled by the flow manager or the flow
hash (in case of forced timeout of a flow) to record the timeout
conditions in the flow:
- emergency mode
- state
- reason (timed out or forced)
Add logging to the flow logger.
Thread was killed by the generic TmThreadKillThreads instead of
the FlowKillFlowRecyclerThread. The latter wakes the thread up, so
that shutdown is quite a bit faster.
For netflow logging track TCP flags per stream direction. As the struct
had no more space left without expanding it, the flags and wscale
fields are now compressed.
Most flows are marked for clean up by the flow manager, which then
passes them to the recycler. The recycler logs and cleans up. However,
under resource stress conditions, the packet threads can recycle
existing flow directly. So here the recycler has no role to play, as
the flow is immediately used.
For this reason, the packet threads need to be able to invoke the
flow logger directly.
The flow logging thread ctx will stored in the DecodeThreadVars
stucture. Therefore, this patch makes the DecodeThreadVars an argument
to FlowHandlePacket.
Now that we use 'filetype' instead of 'type', we should also
use 'regular' instead of 'file'.
Added fallback to make sure we stay compatible to old configs.
At -O1+ in both Gcc and Clang, PacketPoolWait would optimize the
wait loop in the wrong way. Adding a compiler barrier to prevent
this optimization issue.
Fix pcap packet acquisition methods passing 0 to pcap_dispatch.
Previously they passed the packet pool size, but the packet_q_len
variable was now hardcoded at 0.
This patch sets packet_q_len to 64. If packet pool is empty, we fall
back to direct alloc. As the pcap_dispatch function is only called
when packet pool is not empty, we alloc at most 63 packets.
