* Changed Util.FireAndForget() to use any of five different methods set with async_call_method in the [Startup] section of OpenSim.ini. Look at the example config for possible values
* Change the OnQueueEmpty firing to use a minimum time until next fire instead of a sleep
* Set OutgoingPacket.TickCount = 0 earlier to avoid extra resends when things are running slowly (inside a profiler, for example)
* Changed HandleQueueEmpty()'s Monitor.TryEnter() calls to locks. We want to take our time in this function and do all the work necessary, since returning too fast will induce a sleep anyways
* Changed the timer tracking numbers for each client to not have "memory". It will no longer queue up calls to functions like ResendUnacked
* Reverted Jim's WaitHandle code. Although it was technically more correct, it exhibited the exact same behavior as the old code but spent more cycles. The 20ms has been replaced with the minimum amount of time before a token bucket could receive a drip, and an else { sleep(0); } was added to make sure the outgoing packet handler always yields at least a minimum amount
* Send terrain data in a spiral pattern instead of a typewriter pattern (placeholder until terrain data becomes part of the interest list management)
* Added a debug line when resent packets are being sent
* Replaced calls to ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem() with ThreadPool.UnsafeQueueUserWorkItem() since OpenSim does not use Code Access Security sandboxing
* Initialize the LLClientView prim full update queue to the number of prims in the scene for a big performance boost
* Reordered some comparisons on hot code paths for a minor speed boost
* Removed an unnecessary call to the expensive DateTime.Now function (if you *have* to get the current time as opposed to Environment.TickCount, always use DateTime.UtcNow)
* Don't fire the queue empty callback for the Resend category
* Run the outgoing packet handler thread loop for each client synchronously. It seems like more time was being spent doing the execution asynchronously, and it made deadlocks very difficult to track down
* Rewrote some expensive math in LandObject.cs
* Optimized EntityManager to only lock on operations that need locking, and use TryGetValue() where possible
* Only update the attachment database when an object is attached or detached
* Other small misc. performance improvements
* Changed the Send*Data structs in IClientAPI to use public readonly members instead of private members and getters
* Made Parallel.ProcessorCount public
* Started switching over packet building methods in LLClientView to use Util.StringToBytes[256/1024]() instead of Utils.StringToBytes()
* More cleanup of the ScenePresences vs. ClientManager nightmare
* ScenePresence.HandleAgentUpdate() will now time out and drop incoming AgentUpdate packets after three seconds. This fixes a deadlock on m_AgentUpdates that was blocking up the LLUDP server
* Handle the AgentFOV packet
* Bypass queuing and throttles for ping checks to make ping times more closely match network latency
* Only track reliable bytes in LLUDPCLient.BytesSinceLastACK
* Changed the throttling logic to obey the requested client bandwidth limit but also share bandwidth between some of the categories to improve throughput on high prim or heavily trafficked regions
Replaced the update lists with a priority queue implementation in LLClientView.
The priority queues are based on the MinHeap implementation also included in
this commit within the OpneSim.Framework namespace. Initially setup to exactly
mimic the behavior beofre the change which was a first come first serve queue.
* Removed two redundant parameters from SceneObjectPart
* Changed some code in terse update sending that was meant to work with references to work with value types (since Vector3 and Quaternion are structs)
* Committing a preview of a new method for sending object updates efficiently (all commented out for now)
* Apparently the LLClientView should have been doing this previously.. Also fixed the 'You' on the index block.. so the client doesn't display an extra green dot.
* Thanks lkalif for bringing it to our attention.
* OnQueueEmpty is still called async, but will not be called for a given category if the previous callback for that category is still running. This is the most balanced behavior I could find, and seems to work well
* Added support for the old [ClientStack.LindenUDP] settings (including setting the receive buffer size) and added the new token bucket and global throttle settings
* Added the AssetLoaderEnabled config variable to optionally disable loading assets from XML every startup. This gives a dramatic improvement in startup times for those who don't need the functionality every startup
* Changed the way the QueueEmpty callback is fired. It will be fired asynchronously as soon as an empty queue is detected (this can happen immediately following a dequeue), and will not be fired again until at least one packet is dequeued from that queue. This will give callbacks advanced notice of an empty queue and prevent callbacks from stacking up while the queue is empty
* Added LLUDPClient.IsConnected checks in several places to prevent unwanted network activity after a client disconnects
* Prevent LLClientView.Close() from being called twice every disconnect
* Removed the packet resend limit and improved the client timeout check
* Added some missing implementations of IClientAPI.RemoteEndPoint
* Added a ClientManager.Remove(UUID) overload
* Removed a reference to a missing project from prebuild.xml
* Changed the ClientManager interface to reduce potential errors with duplicate or mismatched keys
* Added IClientAPI.RemoteEndPoint, which can (hopefully) eventually replace IClientAPI.CircuitCode
* Changed the order of operations during client shutdown
* Removed the confusing (and LL-specific) shutdowncircuit parameter from IClientAPI.Close()
* Updated the LLUDP code to only use ClientManager instead of trying to synchronize ClientManager and m_clients
* Remove clients asynchronously since it is a very slow operation (including a 2000ms sleep)
* Move ViewerEffect handling to Scene.PacketHandlers
* Removing the unused CloseAllAgents function
* Trimming ClientManager down. This class needs to be reworked to keep LLUDP circuit codes from intruding into the abstract OpenSim core code
* Replaced logic in ThreadTracker with a call to System.Diagnostics that does the same thing
* Added Util.StringToBytes256() and Util.StringToBytes1024() to clamp output at byte[256] and byte[1024], respectively
* Fixed formatting for a MySQLAssetData error logging line
* Shrinks the largest in-memory object, the LLRAW.HeightmapLookupValue struct (only used for exporting to LLRAW terrain files), to the minimum possible size. This seems to have the odd side effect of cutting the size of the two double[256,256] terrain objects in half. Possibly an alignment optimization?
Fixing LLClientView memory leak by disposing of all timers utilized
in LLClientView as they contain references to the callback method.
This required the use of the Terminate and Close infrastructure that
was already in place but was not being utilized.
* Inspect incoming TextureEntry updates for bakes that do not exist on the simulator and request the missing textures
* Properly handle appearance updates that do not have a TextureEntry set
* Test for prim obstructions between the avatar and camera. If there are obstructions, inform the client to move the camera closer. This makes it so that walls and objects don't obstruct your view while you're moving around. Try walking inside a hollowed tori. You'll see how much easier it is now because your camera automatically moves closer so you can still see.
* Created a way to know if the user's camera is alt + cammed or just following the avatar.
* Changes IClientAPI interface by adding SendCameraConstraint(Vector4 CameraConstraint)
This involved adding a new OnUpdatePrimSingleRotationPosition event to IClientAPI so that we can get the changed position from the client.
Btw adding new events to IClientAPI is really tedious where you have to copy the change across to at least 5 or 6 other files.
[Note this doesn't fix the bug where any rotation changes to the root prim (but not the whole linkset) cause rotation errors on the child prims.]
balancer plugin work again. Create a new method, GetClientEP, to retrieve
only the EndPoint for script usage. Marked the purpose of the method
in IClientAPI.cs with a warning. Also restored the corresponding SetClientInfo
functionality.
to be constantly pushed and popped uselessly, if you are not debugging packets. This showed some really big difference in a mock test, let's see how it behaves here.
This change moves texture send processing out of the main
packet processing loop and moves it to a timer based
processing cycle.
Texture packets are sent to the client consistently over
time. The timer is discontinued whenever there are no
textures to transmit.
The behavior of the texture sending mechanism is controlled
by three variables in the LLCLient section of the config
file:
[1] TextureRequestRate (mS) determines how many times per second
texture send processing will occur. The default is 100mS.
[2] TextureSendLimit determines how many different textures
will be considered on each cycle. Textures are selected
by priority. The old mechanism specified a value of 10 for
this parameter and this is the default
[3] TextureDataLimit determines how many packets will be sent for
each of the selected textures. The old mechanism specified a
value of 5, so this is the default.
So the net effect is that TextureSendLimit*TextureDataLimit
packets will be sent every TextureRequestRate mS.
Once we have gotten a reasonable feeling for how these parameters
affect overall processing, it would be nice to autonmically manage
these values using information about the current status of the
region and network.
Note that this also resolves the pathologcal problem that
previously existed which was that a seated avatar generated very
few in-bound packets (theoretically) and would therefore be the
least able to retrieve the images being displayed by a
projector script.
