A deadlock was observed today where NPC removal on a script thread would lock the NPC list and then try to lock the sensor list via scripted attachment removal.
Concurrently, the sensor sweep thread would lock the sensor list and then try to lock the NPC list to check NPC status.
This commit resolves the deadlock by replacing the sensor list on update rather than locking it for the duration of the sweep.
Possibly this was for a feature that was never implemented or was otherwise removed.
Thanks to SignpostMarv for the spot of the warning that shows this parameter was never changed.
If we copy the asset description then we will only ever replicate the very first description, if there was one, not any subsequent changes.
Thanks to Oren Hurvitz of Kitely for this patch from http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=6107
I have adapted it slightly to change the order of arguments (name before description rather than vice-versa) and slightly improve some method doc.
This aims to capture the amount of memory that OpenSim turns over whilst operating a region.
This memory is not lost - apart from leaks it is reclaimed by the garbage collector.
However, the more memory that gets turned over the more work the GC has to do to reclaim it.
This is fired when all regions are ready or when at least one region becomes not ready.
Recently added EventManager.OnRegionReady becomes OnRegionReadyStatusChange to match OnLoginsEnabledStatusChange
When linking, detach the no longer used SOG's from backup so they can be
collected. Since their Children collection is never emptied, they prevent
their former SOPs from being collected as well.
This replaces EventManager.OnLoginsEnabled which only fired when logins were first enabled
and was affected by a bug where it would never fire if the region started with logins disabled.
This saves listeners from having to re-retrieve the scene from their own lists, which won't work anyway if multiple regions with the same name have been allowed
Giving a large folder from one avatar to another was causing a long delay when handled synchronously, since it took some time to retrieve the necessary data from the inventory service.
Handling this asynchronously instead stops this delay from disrupting all avatars in the scene. This has been shown in OSGrid.
I see no reason for not handling all IM messages asynchronously, just as incoming chat is handled asynchronously, so this has been switched for all instant messages.
Thanks to Nebadon for testing this change out.
Even where checks are being made they aren't enough since they all assume that the Animator they just checked is still there in the next line, which is not necessarily the case without locking.
The memory used is small and these should be GC'd anyway when the SP is released. If this is not happening then the wider problem of old SPs being retained needs to be resolved.
This was because teleporting to the new region invoked the new session setup code before the agent was removed from the old region, which then invoked the session teardown code.
Now, we only invoke the teardown code if the region ID occupied by the agent being removed is the same as the one registered for the current session.
This may well come back in the future when this subinterface is actually used but it currently isn't and I feel the name was poor.
Everything uses IClientAPI.RemoveEndPoint which also returned the full endpoint rather than just the ip address.
Also change to use standard table formatting
"show circuits" and "show connections" console commands are very similar but access different data structures.
The encodings are thread-safe and already used in such a manner in other places.
This isn't done where Byte Order Mark output is suppressed, since Encoding.UTF8 is constructed to output the BOM.
