only receiving the data. In r220271 the unused directions were
disabled using shutdown(2).
Unfortunately, this broke automatic receive buffer sizing, which
currently works only for connections in ETASBLISHED state. It was a
root cause of the issue reported by users, when connection between
primary and secondary could get stuck.
Disable the code introduced in r220271 until the issue with automatic
buffer sizing is not resolved.

sending. What happens otherwise is that the sender splits all the
traffic into 32k chunks, while the receiver is waiting for the whole
packet. Then for a certain packet sizes, particularly 66607 bytes in
my case, the communication stucks to secondary is expecting to
read one chunk of 66607 bytes, while primary is sending two chunks
of 32768 bytes and third chunk of 1071. Probably due to TCP windowing
and buffering the final chunk gets stuck somewhere, so neither server
not client can make any progress.
This patch also protect from short reads, as according to the manual

expected.

requests as well as number of activemap updates.
Number of BIO_WRITEs and activemap updates are especially interesting, because
if those two are too close to each other, it means that your workload needs
bigger number of dirty extents. Activemap should be updated as rarely as
possible.

because we need to do ioctl(2)s, which are not permitted in the capability
mode. What we do now is to chroot(2) to /var/empty, which restricts access
to file system name space and we drop privileges to hast user and hast
group.
This still allows to access to other name spaces, like list of processes,
network and sysvipc.
To address that, use jail(2) instead of chroot(2). Using jail(2) will restrict
access to process table, network (we use ip-less jails) and sysvipc (if
security.jail.sysvipc_allowed is turned off). This provides much better
separation.

secondary role. It is possible that the remote node is primary, but only
because there was a role change and it didn't finish cleaning up (unmounting
file systems, etc.). If we detect such situation, wait for the remote node
to switch the role to secondary before accepting I/Os. If we don't wait for
it in that case, we will most likely cause split-brain.

- We have two nodes connected and synchronized (local counters on both sides
are 0).
- We take secondary down and recreate it.
- Primary connects to it and starts synchronization (but local counters are
still 0).
- We switch the roles.
- Synchronization restarts but data is synchronized now from new primary
(because local counters are 0) that doesn't have new data yet.
This fix this issue we bump local counter on primary when we discover that
connected secondary was recreated and has no data yet.

We can use capsicum for secondary worker processes and hastctl.

our info about worker processes if any of them was terminated in the meantime.
This fixes the problem with 'hastctl status' running from a hook called on
split-brain:
1. Secondary calls a hooks and terminates.
2. Hook asks for resource status via 'hastctl status'.
3. The main hastd handles the status request by sending it to the secondary
worker who is already dead, but because signals weren't checked yet he
doesn't know that and we get EPIPE.

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.

If timeout argument to proto_connect() is -1, then the caller needs to use
this new function to wait for connection.
This change is in preparation for capsicum, where sandboxed worker wants
to ask main process to connect in worker's behalf and pass descriptor
to the worker. Because we don't want the main process to wait for the
connection, it will start async connection and pass descriptor to the
worker who will be responsible for waiting for the connection to finish.

The most common situation for this to happen is boot process where init(8)

hastd(8) to ignore SIGHUP.
