* lib, irmd, ipcpd: Change of IRM APISander Vrijders2016-06-281-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes the IRM API after discussions with Dimitri. The register operation is now split into a bind and register operation. The same for unregister; unbind and unregister. PIDs are now used as the application instance name. A name for a PID is only provided for scriptability in bash. It is therefore also no longer passed down to the IPCP. Every operation on an IPCP through the IRM API has to use the PID. Quering of the PIDs by name is possible. The IRM tool has been updated to use this new API as well. A subcommand 'ipcp' has been added for operations that take effect on IPCPs only. Fixes #12
* lib: Change DA header to NSMSander Vrijders2016-06-221-1/+1
| | | | | | Functionality that was previously thought to be part of the DIF Allocator is actually namespace management. Hence the file has been renamed and the API updated.
* lib, irmd, tools, ipcpd: updates to dev API.dimitri staessens2016-06-131-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The registration function has been moved to the irm tool, applications now need to be registered by an administrator. Currently only supports one instance per registered name, and an AP can be registered under only one name. The irmd can now start a registered server application on demand. For the full functionality of the tool, execute "irm register". AP name removed from flow allocation. Flow allocation does not send the source ap name as it is quite useless. The accept() call now only returns the AE name.
* lib, ipcpd, irmd: Add QoS cube definitionSander Vrijders2016-05-141-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | | This adds the QoS cube definition, which is an enum to select which QoS is needed in the IPCP. An application has to use the qos_spec in qos.h to define what it needs. The IRMd will map this unto a qos cube definition. Some headers are now also no longer installed on the system, since they are only to be used within the irmd and ipcps.
* lib: changed port_id to intdimitri staessens2016-05-081-14/+14
| | | | | returning -1 as uint32_t leads to bugs. also changed types in GPB to sint to use zigzag encoding.
* irmd: flow allocation and fast pathdimitri staessens2016-05-071-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit has a first implementation of flow allocation (the "slow path") and read/write (the "fast path") for ouroboros. It provides basic but unstable communications over the shared memory. It required a lot of changes all over the stack, and fixes a number of previously undetected issues. This PR still need heavy revision regarding data model, locking and cleanup. lib/dev: modifications to the API. It now uses an ap_init() call to set the AP name and sets the Instance ID to the pid of the process. It also binds the AP to the shared memory and creates tables for mappings in the fast path. A call to ap_fini() releases the resources. lib/shm_ap_rbuff: added ring buffer for data exchange between processes in the fast path. It passes an index in the shm_du_map. lib/shm_du_map: rewrote API to work with calls from dev.c. Garbage collector added. Tests updated to new API. ipcpd/ipcp-data: removed everything related to flows, as these are universal for all ap's and kept in ap_data (dev.c), or similar structs for shim ipcps. shim-udp: added flow allocator and read/write functions and shm elements. irmd: revised data model and structures necessary for flow allocation. tools: echo updated to new dev.h API. messaging system was updated to comply with new flow allocation messages. All exchanges use pid and port_id to bootstrap the fast path.
* lib: instance ID's are now set to the process PIDdimitri staessens2016-04-261-2/+2
| | | | | | | | All instance-id's in ouroboros will be set by the system to the pid of the process associated with this application process instance. This means that the user has no way to choose the instance id's. Function calls that assumed manually defined instance id's have been replaced throughout the system.
* irmd: reg/unreg whatevercast namesdimitri staessens2016-04-221-11/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | Unregistering ap's now works. An AP now registers/unregisters its AP-I by sending its AP name and its pid to the IRMd. The IPCPs register whatevercast names. An AP name is currently mapped on a whatevercast name represented by the same string literal. The IRMd allows registration of only one AP-I per AP. A Name Space Management system is needed in the processing system so we can resolve this completely. Changing the stack to register whatevercast names required some changes all over the ipcpd implemented and in the library.
* lib, irmd, irm: Add dif_configSander Vrijders2016-04-081-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | This adds dif_config to the prototype, in which one is able to specify the parameters a DIF should have. The bootstrap operation of an IPCP takes this as parameter and is oblivious to whether it is a shim or a normal IPCP. The dif_config struct is also correctly serialized and deserialized and passed opaquely to the correct IPCP. This IPCP is in charge of deserializing it correctly.
* lib: Implementation of flow related opsSander Vrijders2016-03-311-10/+8
| | | | | | This adds the messages that are sent to the IPCPs related to flows. Some messages are also sent to the IRMd (e.g. when a new flow arrives).
* lib: Add flow related ops to ipcp.hSander Vrijders2016-03-311-11/+48
| | | | | This adds the operations related to flows to ipcp.h. Previously it only contained operations on the IPCP level.
* lib: renamed rina_name_t to instance_name_tdimitri staessens2016-03-301-5/+5
| | | | | all functions taking a char * ap_name and uint id now take either a instance_name_t or instance_name_t *
* lib: Add ipcp_messages proto fileSander Vrijders2016-03-281-10/+10
| | | | | This removes the custom ser/des methods for communicating with the IPCP daemon and also uses GPB instead.
* lib: Adds IRMd messages for the dev.h API callsSander Vrijders2016-03-241-1/+1
| | | | | | This adds several messages for the dev.h API calls to communicate with the IRM daemon. The deserializing of these messages is still missing and the irmd hasn't been updated with them either.
* irmd, lib: Create and destroy IPC ProcessesSander Vrijders2016-03-151-7/+9
| | | | | | This adds the functionality to create and destroy IPCPs. Upon creation a new process is forked and execve'd. Upon destruction the IPCP is destroyed by killing it with SIGTERM.
* lib: Add helpers for RINA namesSander Vrijders2016-03-111-8/+12
| | | | This adds helper functions for RINA names, to aid with handling them.
* irmd, lib: Replace stubs in irmdSander Vrijders2016-03-091-10/+14
| | | | | | This replaces the stubs in the irmd and calls the actual IPCP operations from the library. It also calls the DIF Allocator API in one of the operations.
* include: Fixed missing 'struct', renamed dif_infoDimitri Staessens2016-03-031-1/+1
| | | | | common.h: dif_info renamed to dif_config missing struct fixed
* include: Initial IPCP APISander Vrijders2016-02-151-0/+43
This provides the initial API for the IRM to instruct IPCPs.
