2007-10-10r10421: following on discussions with simo, I have worked out a way ofAndrew Tridgell1-1/+2
allowing searches to proceed while another process is in a transaction, then only upgrading the transaction lock to a write lock on commit. The solution is: - split tdb_traverse() into two calls, called tdb_traverse() and tdb_traverse_read(). The _read() version only gets read locks, and will fail any write operations made in the callback from the traverse. - the normal tdb_traverse() call allows for read or write operations in the callback, but gets the transaction lock, preventing transastions from starting inside the traverse In addition we enforce the following rule that you may not start a transaction within a traverse callback, although you can start a traverse within a transaction With these rules in place I believe all the deadlock possibilities are removed, and we can now allow for searches to happen in parallel with transactions (This used to be commit 7dd31288a701d772e45b1960ac4ce4cc1be782ed)
2007-10-10r10405: added transactions into tdb, and hook them into ldb. See myAndrew Tridgell1-0/+1
samba-technical posting for more details on the transactions design. This also adds a number of command line arguments to tdbtorture, making it more flexible, and fixes some lock deadlock conditions in the tdbtorture code. (This used to be commit 06bd8abba942ec9f1e23f5c5d546cbb71ca3a701)
2007-10-10r10253: a fairly large tdb cleanup and re-organise. Nearly all of this changeAndrew Tridgell1-0/+56
just involves splitting up the core tdb.c code into separate files on logical boundaries, but there are some minor functional changes as well: - move the 'struct tdb_context' into tdb_private.h, hiding it from users. This was done to allow the structure to change without breaking code that uses tdb. - added accessor functions tdb_fd(), tdb_name(), and tdb_log_fn() to access the elements of struct tdb_context that were used by external code but are no longer visible - simplied tdb_append() to use tdb_fetch()/tdb_store(), which is just as good due to the way tdb locks work - changed some of the types (such as tdb_off to tdb_off_t) to make syntax highlighting work better - removed the old optional spinlock code. It was a bad idea. - fixed a bug in tdb_reopen_all() that caused tdbtorture to sometimes fail or report nasty looking errors. This is the only real bug fixed in this commit. Jeremy/Jerry, you might like to pickup this change for Samba3, as that could definately affect smbd in Samba3. The aim of all of these changes is to make the tdb transactions/journaling code I am working on easier to write. I started to write it on top of the existing tdb.c code and it got very messy. Splitting up the code makes it much easier to follow. There are more cleanups we could do in tdb, such as using uint32_t instead of u32 (suggested by metze). I'll leave those for another day. (This used to be commit 4673cdd0d261614e707b72a7a348bb0e7dbb2482)
