VMOD_VTC(3) Library Functions Manual VMOD_VTC(3) NAME vmod_vtc - Utility module for vinyltest SYNOPSIS import vtc [as name] [from "path"] VOID barrier_sync(STRING addr, DURATION timeout) BACKEND no_backend() STEVEDORE no_stevedore() IP no_ip() VOID panic(STRING) VOID sleep(DURATION) VOID workspace_alloc(ENUM, INT size) BYTES workspace_reserve(ENUM, INT size) INT workspace_free(ENUM) VOID workspace_snapshot(ENUM) VOID workspace_reset(ENUM) BOOL workspace_overflowed(ENUM) VOID workspace_overflow(ENUM) BLOB workspace_dump(ENUM, ENUM, BYTES off, BYTES len) INT typesize(STRING) BLOB proxy_header(ENUM version, IP client, IP server, STRING authority) VOID vsl(INT vxid, STRING tag, ENUM side, STRING s) VOID vsl_replay(STRING s) DESCRIPTION The goal for this VMOD is to provide VCL users and VMOD authors means to test corner cases or reach certain conditions with vinyltest. VOID barrier_sync(STRING addr, DURATION timeout=0) When writing test cases, the most common pattern is to start a mock server instance, a Vinyl Cache instance, and spin up a mock client. Those entities run asynchronously, and others exist like background processes (process) or log readers (logexpect). While you can synchronize with individual entities and wait for their completion, you must use a barrier if you need to syn- chronize two or more entities, or wait until a certain point instead of completion. Not only is it possible to synchronize between test entities, with the bar- rier_sync function you can even synchronize VCL code: sub vcl_recv { # wait for some barrier b1 to complete vtc.barrier_sync("${b1_sock}"); } If the function fails to synchronize with the barrier for some reason, or if it reaches the optional timeout, it fails the VCL transaction. MISCELLANEOUS BACKEND no_backend() Fails at backend selection. STEVEDORE no_stevedore() Fails at storage selection. IP no_ip() Returns a null IP address, not even a bogo_ip. VOID panic(STRING) It can be useful to crash the child process in order to test the robustness of a VMOD. VOID sleep(DURATION) Block the current worker thread. WORKSPACES It can be useful to put a workspace in a given state when testing corner cases like resource exhaustion for a transaction, especially for VMOD de- velopment. All functions available allow to pick which workspace you need to tamper with, available values are client, backend, session and thread. VOID workspace_alloc(ENUM, INT size) VOID workspace_alloc( ENUM {client, backend, session, thread}, INT size ) Allocate and zero out memory from a workspace. A negative size will allo- cate as much as needed to leave that many bytes free. The actual allocation size may be higher to comply with memory alignment requirements of the CPU architecture. A failed allocation fails the transaction. BYTES workspace_reserve(ENUM, INT size) BYTES workspace_reserve( ENUM {client, backend, session, thread}, INT size ) Attempt to reserve size bytes, zero out that memory and release the reser- vation right away. Return the size of the reservation. See vtc.workspace_alloc() for semantics of the size argument. INT workspace_free(ENUM {client, backend, session, thread}) Find how much unallocated space there is left in a workspace. VOID workspace_snapshot(ENUM) VOID workspace_snapshot(ENUM {client, backend, session, thread}) Snapshot a workspace. Only one snapshot may be active at a time and each VCL can save only one snapshot, so concurrent tasks requiring snapshots are not supported. VOID workspace_reset(ENUM) VOID workspace_reset(ENUM {client, backend, session, thread}) Reset to the previous snapshot of a workspace, it must be the same work- space too. BOOL workspace_overflowed(ENUM) BOOL workspace_overflowed(ENUM {client, backend, session, thread}) Find whether the workspace overflow mark is set or not. VOID workspace_overflow(ENUM) VOID workspace_overflow(ENUM {client, backend, session, thread}) Mark a workspace as overflowed. BLOB workspace_dump(ENUM, ENUM, BYTES off, BYTES len) BLOB workspace_dump( ENUM {client, backend, session, thread}, ENUM {s, f, r}, BYTES off=0, BYTES len=64 ) Return data from a workspace's s, f, or r pointer as a blob. Data is copied onto the primary workspace to avoid it being subsequently overwritten. The maximum len is 1KB. INT typesize(STRING) Returns the size in bytes of a collection of C-datatypes: * 'p': pointer * 'i': int * 'd': double * 'f': float * 'l': long * 's': short * 'z': size_t * 'o': off_t * 'j': intmax_t This can be useful for VMOD authors in conjunction with workspace opera- tions. BLOB proxy_header(ENUM version, IP client, IP server, STRING authority) BLOB proxy_header( ENUM {v1, v2} version, IP client, IP server, STRING authority=0 ) Format a proxy header of the given version v1 or v2 and addresses (The VCL IP type also contains the port number). Optionally also send an authority TLV with version v2 (ignored for version v1). Candidate for moving into vmod_proxy, but there were concerns about the in- terface design VSL These functions allow to generate arbitrary log entries to test the Vinyl Cache Shared Log (VSL) implementation and readers like vinyllog. VOID vsl(INT vxid, STRING tag, ENUM {c, b} side, STRING s) Call VSLs() with the given parameters. The argument order is chosen to match VSL output. A VCL error is triggered if tag cannot be resolved at runtime or if vxid is out of bounds. VOID vsl_replay(STRING s) Replay literal log lines. The parser accepts the output generated by vinyllog -g raw and vinyltest log vsl| lines. Unparseable lines are silently ignored.
