[lttng-dev] [PATCH lttng-tools] Fix: health monitoring (various fixes)
Mathieu Desnoyers

Mon Jul 23 14:00:42 EDT 2012
* Fix modulo operation bug on
#define HEALTH_IS_IN_CODE(x) (x % HEALTH_POLL_VALUE)
which is causing the check to think it is never within code.
(x % 1 always equals 0). Simplify this by using a simple
& on the poll value, and remove the IS_IN_CODE, using ! on IS_IN_POLL
instead (which removes nothing to clarity).
* Atomic operations should apply to at most "unsigned long" (32-bit on
32-bit arch) rather than uint64_t.
* Separate the "error" condition from the counters. We clearly cannot
use the "0" value as an error on 32-bit counters anymore, because they
can easily wrap.
* Introduce "exit" condition, will be useful for state tracking in the
future. Error and exit conditions implemented as flags.
* Add "APP_MANAGE" in addition to "APP_REG" health check, to monitor the
app registration thread (which was missing, only the app manager
thread was checked, under the name "APP_REG", which was misleading).
* Comment the last, current and flag values in struct health state,
especially how they are accessed.
* Remove bogus usage of uatomic_xchg() in health_check_state():
It is not needed to update the "last" value, since the last value is
read and written to by a single thread. Moreover, this specific use of
xchg was not exchanging anything: it was just setting the last value
to the "current" one, and doing nothing with the return value.
Whatever was expected to be achieved by using uatomic_xchg() clearly
wasn't.
* Because the health check thread could still be answering a request
concurrently sessiond teardown, we need to ensure that all threads
only set the "error" condition if they reach teardown paths due to an
actual error, not on "normal" teardown condition (thread quit pipe
being closed). Flagging threads as being in error condition upon all
exit paths would lead to false "errors" sent to the client, which we
want to avoid, since the client could then think it needs to kill a
sessiond when the sessiond might be in the process of gracefully
restarting.
