(FILE_AsyncReadService in files/file.c) I don't know if this was Lawson problem, but open() can potentially block on a serial port, and we cannot have that in the server; so your change to set O_NONBLOCK is good, but it shouldn't depend on FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED. > If we use non-blocking fds unconditionally, a non overlapped ReadFile > may result in a busy loop in the client thread.

Of course, I have no problem with that. The create_file request takes attributes, so create_serial can do the same (it would be better if create_serial were done inside create_file, but that's another story...) > Another question: do you think it would be possible to implement a > "write memory" message from the wineserver to the client?

But that would require multiple copies of the data (and many context switches for large reads); that wouldn't be very efficient. I think the current approach is much better. What is the problem with doing CancelIo? -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Hi Alexandre, Hmmm. i'm not exactly sure about this. i don't think the server ever blocked on serial port reads or opens... i think the reason Lawson had problems was that the client thread was blocking in the overlapped read code. (FILE_AsyncReadService in files/file.c) If we use non-blocking fds unconditionally, a non overlapped ReadFile may result in a busy loop in the client thread. Additionally, overlapped read (and write) requests should fail unless the handle is opened with FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED. There are programs that depend on that behaviour (as reported by Eric Kohl, 3 Feb 2001 on this list). This is another reason to propagate CreateFile's attributes parameter into the wineserver. Another question: do you think it would be possible to implement a "write memory" message from the wineserver to the client? This message would be carried over wait_fd and would be received by the client asynchronously in wait_reply(). The message would contain a length, address and data to be written. If this is possible, i could move async i/o back into the server, keep it efficient and perhaps implement CancelIo properly...

FIONREAD is unreliable because you cannot distinguish between an EOF condition and an empty receive buffer. recvmsg(MSG_PEEK) is supposed to return 0 on EOF, and EWOULDBLOCK on empty buffer, so you can determine the real status. > Another issue is why doesn't poll() give > us a POLLHUP? That would be ideal, get poll() to work the way we need it > too. As I understand it poll() returns POLLHUP only when both directions of the socket have been closed; but if you shutdown() only the read or write side, you don't get POLLHUP so that you can continue using poll() for the other direction. This has apparently been changed between kernels 2.2 and 2.4; in 2.2 POLLHUP is returned as soon as the read side of the socket has been closed. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

A possibility to detect EOF could be a recvmsg with MSG_PEEK flag, though you should probably verify first that it behaves as expected. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

But FIONREAD can return 0 bytes even when the socket isn't closed (for instance if another thread got the data first). You can only determine that it was really closed when you do the actual read. So I don't really see how we can avoid having recv() return zero; well maybe we can make it return EWOULDBLOCK and tell the server the connection is closed, but I'm not sure it's any better. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Is this approach better? Yes, looks good. Though we can probably safely use the dwCount field in GDIOBJHDR since it is not used for anything useful right now, instead of adding new fields. I've changed that and applied the patch. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

-clocal and the wineserver
by lawson_whitney＠juno.com 19 Aug '01

19 Aug '01

Good day! Any time clocal falls out of the modem's termios (say I use cu -l on it) the wineserver hangs trying to open it, or at least the app hangs, and I haven't found a way to kill it without killing the wineserver. Both 16 and 32 bit versions of juno are affected. I haven't really investigated it very thouroughly, but I wasted a lot of time restoring backup versions of the app and wine. Should I look into mickey-mousing the open to avoid the problem, or - is it really a wineserver problem which I am probably not even marginally competent to muck with? I'd be glad to make traces or winedbg output, but it seems the problem should be easy to duplicate. Hmmm, setting clocal back on from another terminal unhangs the app. That is neater than killing the wineserver, I guess. terminal.exe from wfw 3.11 behaves similarly, with an extra twist: it hangs on the Win16Mutex until somebody sets clocal (well, I guess carrier detect would work, too).
