[Vincent Ladeuil]

Implement transport.disconnect() and use it to avoid socket leaks.

This patch fixes the *socket* leaks in our tests and is necessary to make the tests pass on windows without triggering a "Can't start new thread" errors.

It implements a disconnect() method on the transport objects and
then arrange to call it for all relevant transports used by the
test suite.

Some more fixes where needed for edge cases where sockets where used but never by proper transport objects (http redirections) but the same principle has been applied: wherever a connection occurred,
a cleanup should be used to disconnect.

There are still some rough edges here (and some in the
pre-requisite threads) but the overall can be landed IMHO and as
such is ready to be reviewed :)

This is pretty ugly; it appears to be on the class that defines get_transport, so why not just change self.get_transport directly?

That is:
a) define a self.get_abs_transport which calls self._orig_mod_transport
b) tests for self.get_abs_transport
c) overrideAttr in setUp

Secondly, all the disconnect implementations are the same; why isn't it in a base class? I know this has been a lot of work for you so it can be easy to miss details; I will be looking for such duplicate code blocks in the other threads now - perhaps you should have a re-review first ? :)

I'd like to see this after those things are fixed.

Ugly but working :)

It helped me track all the tests that wasn't calling
transport.get_transport (for no good reasons !).

Doing that I discovered many small bugs here and there, mostly about
using the right kind of transport (nothing serious as it uncovered no
bugs in the code, only in test coverage which was important to fix
anyway).

A hook called when a transport *really* connect was a suggestion
discussed but not implemented (and would also have addressed the need
but would have missed the opportunity to catch the coverage bugs).

Again, I chose to not overload the submission, can fix it, etc.

    > That is:

    > a) define a self.get_abs_transport which calls self._orig_mod_transport

What means 'abs' here ? abstract ? absolute ? Do you intend to rename
get_transport ?

    > b) tests for self.get_abs_transport

Right, I had a huge test coverage to find any problem here but not at
the right level, bad vila, no sugar ;)

    > c) overrideAttr in setUp

Or a hook.

No good reason :) Good review :)

Hehe, right, sorry for that, I've been working too long on that and get
doscouraged several times so I really needed to get the whole lot
submitted as my eyes were bleeding which doesn't help :)

So I *did* re{>n}-review but not enough...

Cool, thanks a lot.

Ran 24267 tests in 4489.002s FAILED (failures=1, errors=6) Recording test results

So, the full test is running to completion (pfew) and only an handful of failures are left.

I'm happy to have cleanups land, but you can't actually land it if there
are failures...

Failures on *windows* *only* as opposed to *not even completing the run* :)

I'm getting over a hundred errors with this branch in my test setup in the form:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      ...
      File ".\bzrlib\bundle\__init__.py", line 42, in read_mergeable_from_url

        t = self._orig_get_transport(*args, **kwargs)
    AttributeError: 'TestBoundBranches' object has no attribute '_orig_get_transport'

This is because I'm clearing the TestCase __dict__ in the result's stopTest method, so is this method being run after that? Or on the wrong test instance? Something seems up, at any rate.

On the plus side, the run does now complete without hanging which earlier versions of this branch did not. However, it seems to have taken 83 minutes, rather than ~50 which is what I'm getting currently on trunk.

Given that _orig_get_transport is set just after get_transport_with_cleanup is installed, I fail
to see how this can occur... or is it related to a closure being deleted by your clearing ?

This attribute must be available during test cleanup, may be stopTest is too early to clear the dict ?

Err, are we comparing apples with oranges here ? I don't have any timing for a complete run myself so
it's hard to measure whether this patch makes it slower. For platforms where I have such timings I
certainly don't see a 66% increase...

Weird, I never got the corresponding email....

If nobody objects, I'll land then.

Not obvious what the problem is to me either, I'll try poking around with pdp and see if I can work out what the issue is.

Should be fine (bar the problems we already know about with cycles and gc) as it is after all the cleanups run.

I believe it to be a fair comparison, as I don't think dev is that far removed from this branch, and unlike you I do get a clean full run (with the test case __dict__ clearing added). I don't have a direct cause for you though, will run a diff between the results and see if any timing changes are obvious.

Okay, I don't completely understand the why, but this is easy to fix. Don't store the real get_transport method on the test instance and close over self, just close over the real method.

Looking at that, there are a number of differences along the lines of:

bt.test_remote.TestStacking.test_unstacked_get_parent_map
  Was: ok 882ms
    Test leaked threads, current number of live threads: 1662
  Now: ok 40898ms
    thread ('127.0.0.1', 2122) -> ('127.0.0.1', 2113) hung
    thread ('127.0.0.1', 2121) -> ('127.0.0.1', 2113) hung
    thread ('127.0.0.1', 2120) -> ('127.0.0.1', 2113) hung
    thread ('127.0.0.1', 2119) -> ('127.0.0.1', 2113) hung
    thread ('127.0.0.1', 2118) -> ('127.0.0.1', 2113) hung
    thread ('127.0.0.1', 2117) -> ('127.0.0.1', 2113) hung
    thread ('127.0.0.1', 2116) -> ('127.0.0.1', 2113) hung
    thread ('127.0.0.1', 2115) -> ('127.0.0.1', 2113) hung

    Test leaked threads, current number of live threads: 256

So, you've done a great job reducing the number of leaking threads, but a subset of them have turned into hang timeouts at 5 seconds apiece. There are also tests that used to leak a thread and now don't and are 10x faster, so fixing these other ones should result in an overall speed up.

Ok, I'll fix that, but (mentioning it here instead of IRC to have a track record ;),
avoiding cycles shouldn't require us to avoid closures. Breaking the cycle during
cleanup should be enough.

Right, so, this only occurs on windows. As mentioned in the comment above the line
that 'print.*hung' the real fix is to kill the thread and I didn't want to venture into that
on top of all the other fixes.
I don't know why this happens on windows only, but the symptom is that both the client
and the server are waiting for some change on the underlying socket... and this doesn't happen
on any other platform.

Now, the 5s timeout may be too high but I think I kept it that way to allow some minimal
time to poke under pdb... note that I don't see the same hung tests than you (from memory
I see far less <100, compared to >x1000 leaking tests).

And yes, the overall test suite is faster because there is less sockets to care about mainly,
the speed difference vary greatly from platform to platform though...

[Robert Collins (lifeless)]

Vincent, why not join that thread? killing it seems... suboptimal.

[Vincent Ladeuil (vila)]

@Robert: We time out trying to join it :)
Both the client and the server are hanging for an unknown reason on windows *only*.

And when I say 'unknown' I should really say "despite having spent a significant
amount of time trying all the tricks I could think of to reveal why they were
or trying to *avoid* the problem".

Thanks vila, that worked. But... testing on r5396 seems to show it's turned into a different flavour of orange:
