These were genuine failures caused by ScenePresence.CompleteMovement() waiting for an UpdateAgent from NPC introduction that would never come.
Instead, we do not wait if the agent is an NPC.
- Child and root agents are only closed after 15 sec, maybe
- If the user comes back, they aren't closed, and everything is reused
- On the receiving side, clients and scene presences are reused if they already exist
- Caps are always recreated (this is where I spent most of my time!). It turns out that, because the agents carry the seeds around, the seed gets the same URL, except for the root agent coming back to a far away region, which gets a new seed (because we don't know what was its seed in the departing region, and we can't send it back to the client when the agent returns there).
This is because a returning viewer by teleport before 15 seconds are up will be disrupted by the close.
The 2 second delay is within the scope where a normal viewer would not allow a teleport back anyway.
Simulator/0.2 (V2) protocol will continue with the longer delay since this is actually the behaviour viewers get from the ll grid
and an early close causes other issues (avatar being sent to infinite locations temporarily, etc.)
This prevents an issue if the user teleports back to the neighbour simulator of a source before 15 seconds have elapsed.
This more closely emulates observed linden behaviour, though the timeout there is 50 secs and applies to all the pre-teleport agents.
Currently sticks a DoNotClose flag on ScenePresence though this may be temporary as possibly it could be incorporated into the ETM state machine
In this new protocol, and as committed before, the viewer is not sent EnableSimulator/EstablishChildCommunication for the destination. Instead, it is sent TeleportFinish directly. TeleportFinish, in turn, makes the viewer send a UserCircuitCode packet followed by CompleteMovementIntoRegion packet. These 2 packets tend to occur one after the other almost immediately to the point that when CMIR arrives the client is not even connected yet and that packet is ignored (there might have been some race conditions here before); then the viewer sends CMIR again within 5-8 secs. But the delay between them may be higher in busier regions, which may lead to race conditions.
This commit improves the process so there are are no race conditions at the destination. CompleteMovement (triggered by the viewer) waits until Update has been sent from the origin. Update, in turn, waits until there is a *root* scene presence -- so making sure CompleteMovement has run MakeRoot. In other words, there are two threadlets at the destination, one from the viewer and one from the origin region, waiting for each other to do the right thing. That makes it safe to close the agent at the origin upon return of the Update call without having to wait for callback, because we are absolutely sure that the viewer knows it is in th new region.
Note also that in the V1 protocol, the destination was getting UseCircuitCode from the viewer twice -- once on EstablishAgentCommunication and then again on TeleportFinish. The second UCC was being ignored, but it shows how we were not following the expected steps...
If this consistently increases then this is a problem since it means the simulator is receiving more requests than it can distribute to other parts of the code.
