      tracing/pyruntraced: New tool to run Python code with tracepoints activated (draft) · 7a476082
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      We will hopefully need it in the future to test external python code
      similarly to when testing in-process go code with the help of
      tracepoints. See module description for details (tracetest is not yet
      done).
      
      There is no yet Go client API for interacting with such-traced python
      program. For the record: manually inspecting traced python process could
      be done via e.g.
      
      	socat EXEC:"./pyruntraced 3 neo.trace.py -- ../../../t/backup-play/N1-writer",fdin=3,fdout=3 TCP:localhost:8888
      
      and telnetting to localhost:8888 from another xterm.

      xnet/lonet: Draft _Python_ counterpart · 5f16012d
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      This patch brings lonet implementation in Python with the idea that Go
      and Python programs could interoperate via lonet network and thus mixed
      Go/Python application cluster could be tested.
      
      Implementation quality is lower compared to Go version, but still it
      should be more or less ok.

      golang/gcompat: New _Python_ package that provides Go-compatibility layer for Python · 7c4f365c

      Let's start with substitute for %q that is lacking in python.
      The implementation is copied from zodbtools from here:
      
      https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/zodbtools/blob/2801fae9/zodbtools/util.py#L39
      
      It is not good for golang to depend on zodbtools and the function is
      minor. In the future maybe zodbtools in turn will change to import qq
      from golang.

      - `go` spawns lightweight thread.
      - `chan` and `select` provide channels with Go semantic.
      - `method` allows to define methods separate from class.
      - `gimport` allows to import python modules by full path in a Go workspace.
      
      The focus of first draft was on usage interface and on correctness, not speed.
      In particular select should be fully working.

      xnet/lonet: New package to provide TCP network simulated on top of localhost TCP loopback. · fd4f9a4e
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Lonet is the virtnet network that, contrary to pipenet, could be used
      when there are several OS-level processes involved.
      
      It uses SQLite for its registry and native OS-level TCP over loopback
      for data exchange. There is small text-based connection handshake
      protocol prelude that have to be carried out when a connection is tried
      to be established to host via its subnetwork, but after it data exchange
      goes directly through OS TCP stack.
      
      Lonet documentation follows:
      
      """
      Package lonet provides TCP network simulated on top of localhost TCP loopback.
      
      For testing distributed systems it is sometimes handy to imitate network of
      several TCP hosts. It is also handy that ports allocated on Dial/Listen/Accept on
      that hosts be predictable - that would help tests to verify network events
      against expected sequence. When whole system could be imitated in 1 OS-level
      process, package lab.nexedi.com/kirr/go123/xnet/pipenet serves the task via
      providing TCP-like synchronous in-memory network of net.Pipes. However
      pipenet cannot be used for cases where tested system consists of 2 or more
      OS-level processes. This is where lonet comes into play:
      
      Similarly to pipenet addresses on lonet are host:port pairs and several
      hosts could be created with different names. A host is xnet.Networker and
      so can be worked with similarly to regular TCP network access-point with
      Dial/Listen/Accept. Host's ports allocation is predictable: ports of a host
      are contiguous integer sequence starting from 1 that are all initially free,
      and whenever autobind is requested the first free port of the host will be
      used.
      
      Internally lonet network maintains registry of hosts so that lonet
      addresses could be resolved to OS-level addresses, for example α:1 and β:1
      to 127.0.0.1:4567 and 127.0.0.1:8765, and once lonet connection is
      established it becomes served by OS-level TCP connection over loopback.
      
      Example:
      
      net, err := lonet.Join(ctx, "mynet")
      hα, err := net.NewHost(ctx, "α")
      hβ, err := net.NewHost(ctx, "β")
      
      // starts listening on address "α:10"
      l, err := hα.Listen(":10")
      go func() {
       csrv, err := l.Accept()   // csrv will have LocalAddr "α:1"
      }()
      ccli, err := hβ.Dial(ctx, "α:10") // ccli will be connection between "β:1" - "α:1"
      
      Once again lonet is similar to pipenet, but since it works via OS TCP stack
      it could be handy for testing networked application when there are several
      OS-level processes involved.
      """
      
      """
      Lonet organization
      
      For every lonet network there is a registry with information about hosts
      available on the network, and for each host its OS-level listening address.
      The registry is kept as SQLite database under
      
      /<tmp>/lonet/<network>/registry.db
      
      Whenever host α needs to establish connection to address on host β, it
      queries the registry for β and further talks to β on that address.
      Correspondingly when a host joins the network, it announces itself to the
      registry so that other hosts could see it.
      
      Handshake protocol
      
      After α establishes OS-level connection to β via main β address, it sends
      request to further establish lonet connection on top of that:
      
      > lonet "<network>" dial "<α:portα>" "<β:portβ>"\n
      
      β checks whether portβ is listening, and if yes, accepts the connection on
      corresponding on-β listener with giving feedback to α that connection was
      accepted:
      
      < lonet "<network>" connected "<β:portβ'>"\n
      
      After that connection is considered to be lonet-established and all further
      exchange on it is directly controlled by corresponding lonet-level
      Read/Write on α and β.
      
      If, on the other hand, lonet-level connection cannot be established, β replies:
      
      < lonet "<networkβ>" E "<error>"\n
      
      where <error> could be:
      
      - connection refused if <β:portβ> is not listening
      - network mismatch if β thinks it works on different lonet network than α
      - protocol error if β thinks that α send incorrect dial request

      xnet/pipenet: Generalize it into xnet/virtnet · 40120cb0
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      As we are going to implement another virtual network it would be good to
      share common code between implementations. For this generalize pipenet
      implementation to also cover the case when one does not own full network
      and owns only some hosts of it.
      
      An example of such situation is when one process handles one group of
      virtual hosts and another process handles another group of virtual
      hosts. Below a group of virtual hosts handled as part of network is
      called subnetwork.
      
      If hosts are not created in one place, we need a way to communicate
      information about new hosts in between subnetworks. This leads to using
      some kind of "registry" (see Registry interface).
      
      Then for the common code to be reused by a virtual network
      implementation it has to provide its working in the form of Engine
      interface to that common code. In turn the common code exposes another
      - Notifier - interface for particular network implementation to notify
      common code of events that come from outside to the subnetwork.
      
      Pipenet is reworked to be just a client of the common virtnet
      infrastructure.
      
      Virtnet documentation follows:
      
      """
      Package virtnet provides infrastructure for TCP-like virtual networks.
      
      For testing distributed systems it is sometimes handy to imitate network of
      several TCP hosts. It is also handy that ports allocated on Dial/Listen/Accept
      on that hosts be predictable - that would help tests to verify network
      events against expected sequence.
      
      Package virtnet provides infrastructure for using and implementing such
      TCP-like virtual networks.
      
      Using virtnet networks
      
      Addresses on a virtnet network are host:port pairs represented by Addr.
      A network conceptually consists of several SubNetworks each being home for
      multiple Hosts. Host is xnet.Networker and so can be worked with similarly
      to regular TCP network access-point with Dial/Listen/Accept. Host's ports
      allocation is predictable: ports of a host are contiguous integer sequence
      starting from 1 that are all initially free, and whenever autobind is
      requested the first free port of the host will be used.
      Virtnet ensures that host names are unique throughout whole network.
      
      To work with a virtnet network, one uses corresponding package for
      particular virtnet network implementation. Such packages provide a way to
      join particular network and after joining give back SubNetwork to user.
      Starting from SubNetwork one can create Hosts and from those exchange data
      throughout whole network.
      
      Please see package lab.nexedi.com/kirr/go123/xnet/pipenet for particular
      well-known virtnet-based network.
      
      Implementing virtnet networks
      
      To implement a virtnet-based network one need to implement Engine and Registry.
      
      A virtnet network implementation should provide Engine and Registry
      instances to SubNetwork when creating it. The subnetwork will use provided
      engine and registry for its operations. A virtnet network implementation
      receives instance of Notifier together with SubNetwork when creating it. The
      network implementation should use provided Notifier to notify the subnetwork
      to handle incoming events.
      
      Please see Engine, Registry and Notifier documentation for details.
      """
      
      Another virtnet-based network that is not limited to be used only in 1
      OS process will follow next.

      On TCP port(accepted) = port(listen), i.e.  When we connect

      	type muintptr uintptr
      	    muintptr is a *m that is not tracked by the garbage collector.
      
      	    Because we do free Ms, there are some additional constrains on muintptrs:
      
      	    1. Never hold an muintptr locally across a safe point.
      
      	    2. Any muintptr in the heap must be owned by the M itself so it can
      
      	    ensure it is not in use when the last true *m is released.
      
      	func (mp muintptr) ptr() *m
      	func (mp *muintptr) set(m *m)

      xbufio += SeqReaderAt - buffering wrapper for a io.ReaderAt optimized for sequential access · 3956445e
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      For example in ZODB FileStorage format reader routines are written
      working with io.ReaderAt for the following reasons:
      
      - for loads random-access is required,
      - there can be several concurrent loads in flight simultaneously.
      
      At the same time various database iterations (APIs additional to load)
      use sequential access pattern and can be served by the same record
      reading routines. However with them we cannot use e.g. bufio.Reader
      because it works with plain io.Reader, not io.ReaderAt.
      
      Here comes SeqReaderAt: it adds a buffer, by default 2·4K, on top of
      original io.Reader, automatically detects direction of sequential
      access which can be forward, backward, or interleaved forward-backward
      patterns, and buffers data accordingly to avoid many syscalls e.g. in
      os.File case.
