One of the ways to detect Unit's startup and subsequent readiness to accept
commands relies on waiting for the control socket file to be created.
Earlier, it was unreliable due to a race condition between the client's
connect() and the daemon's listen() calls after the socket's bind() call.
Now, unix domain listening sockets are created with a nxt_listen_socket_create()
call as follows:
s = socket();
unlink("path/to/socket.tmp")
bind(s, "path/to/socket.tmp");
listen(s);
rename("path/to/socket.tmp", "path/to/socket");
This eliminates a time-lapse when the socket file is already created but nobody
is listening on it yet, which therefore prevents the condition described above.
Also, it allows reliably detecting whether the socket is being used or simply
wasn't cleaned after the daemon stopped abruptly. A successful connection to
the socket file means the daemon has been started; otherwise, the file can be
overwritten.
Waiting for control.unit.sock was replaced by unit.pid due to current problem
with race between connect() and listen() calls for control.unit.sock.
This change should be reverted after fix.
- The mode of testdir was changed to allow reading from other users/groups.
- The java multipart test now uploads the file into an app writable dir.
- The build directory was made readable for other users.
- The python environment test now uses the HOME env var instead of PWD
because the latter is not set by the root shell (/bin/sh) by default.
- The node `node_modules` directory now is copied into the `testdir` instead
of using symlinks.
