any negative number.

e2eabb44d7 The proto API is a general purpose API, so don't use 'hast' in structures or
function names. It can now be used outside of HAST.

0b626a289e In hast.conf we define the other node's address in 'remote' variable.
This way we know how to connect to secondary node when we are primary.
The same variable is used by the secondary node - it only accepts
connections from the address stored in 'remote' variable.
In cluster configurations it is common that each node has its individual
IP address and there is one addtional shared IP address which is assigned
to primary node. It seems it is possible that if the shared IP address is
from the same network as the individual IP address it might be choosen by
the kernel as a source address for connection with the secondary node.
Such connection will be rejected by secondary, as it doesn't come from
primary node individual IP.

Add 'source' variable that allows to specify source IP address we want to
bind to before connecting to the secondary node.

01ab52c021 - Rename proto_descriptor_{send,recv}() functions to
proto_connection_{send,recv} and change them to return proto_conn
  structure. We don't operate directly on descriptors, but on
  proto_conns.
- Add wrap method to wrap descriptor with proto_conn.
- Remove methods to send and receive descriptors and implement this
  functionality as additional argument to send and receive methods.

8046c499ab Implement two new functions for sending descriptor and receving descriptor
over UNIX domain sockets and socket pairs.
This is in preparation for capsicum.

2ec483c58e - Use pjdlog for assertions and aborts as this will log assert/abort message
to syslog if we run in background.
- Asserts in proto.c that method we want to call is implemented and remove
  dummy methods from protocols implementation that are only there to abort
  the program with nice message.

eea2deaad0 When someone gives NULL as data, assume this is because he want to declare
connection side only.

50692f84c6 Add an argument to the proto_register() function which allows protocol to
declare it is the default and be placed at the end of the queue so it is
checked last.

2e1facf96f Changing proto_socketpair.c compilation and linking order revealed
a problem - we should simply ignore proto_server() if address
doesn't start with socketpair://, and not abort.

32115b105a Please welcome HAST - Highly Avalable Storage.
HAST allows to transparently store data on two physically separated machines
connected over the TCP/IP network. HAST works in Primary-Secondary
(Master-Backup, Master-Slave) configuration, which means that only one of the
cluster nodes can be active at any given time. Only Primary node is able to
handle I/O requests to HAST-managed devices. Currently HAST is limited to two
cluster nodes in total.

HAST operates on block level - it provides disk-like devices in /dev/hast/
directory for use by file systems and/or applications. Working on block level
makes it transparent for file systems and applications. There in no difference
between using HAST-provided device and raw disk, partition, etc. All of them
are just regular GEOM providers in FreeBSD.

For more information please consult hastd(8), hastctl(8) and hast.conf(5)
manual pages, as well as http://wiki.FreeBSD.org/HAST.
