Object updates are sent on the task queue. It's possible for an object update to be placed on the client queue before a kill packet comes along.
The kill packet would then be placed on the state queue and possibly get sent before the update
If the update gets sent afterwards then client get undeletable no owner objects until relog
Placing the kills in the task queue should mean that they are received after updates. The kill record prevents subsequent updates getting on the queue
Comments state that updates are sent via the state queue but this isn't true. If this was the case this problem might not exist.
This is necessary because it was still possible for an entity update packet to be constructed, the thread to pause, a kill to be sent on another thread, and then the original thread to resume and send the update
This would result in an update being received after a kill, which results in undeletable ghost objects until the viewer is relogged
Extending the lock looks okay since its only taken by kill, update and reprioritize, and both kill and update do not take further locks
However, evidence suggests that there is still a kill/update race somewhere
These levels correspond to packets that one isn't usually interested in when debugging (e.g. regular outgoing SimStats packets)
This is equivalent to what we had a year ago before it was removed. It's extremely crude since it doesn't allow one to pick individual clients or packets. However, it can still be useful when debugging packet race conditions.
On Linden Lab clients and some derivatives, receiving an entity update after an entity deletion notice results in an undeleteable prim that disappears upon client relog.
This check was dropped in 0.7 for unknown reasons but renewed testing demonstrates that queued updates can still be present after a scene object has been deleted.
At least on stock Linden clients, updating the texture on all faces of the prim will actually send an ObjectImage packet for each update.
There is a race condition if these are handled async, meaning that occasionally not all of the faces are correctly updated.
DisableFacelights option to OpenSim.ini to finally kill those immersion-
breaking, silly vanity lights that destroy nighttime RP. Girls, you look
just fine without them. Guys, you too. Thank you. Melanie has left the building.
nonworking ownership assignment in SOG, which messed things up before.
No longer trust the client to send the ID of the person something is copied
as, since it allows to run a script with someone else's permissions. Properly
adjust inventory ownership and perms.
This is one step towards reducing hud glitches on region crossing, since the viewer fails to display prims if it receives child full updates before the root prim full update
This commit also introduces a mechanism in LLClientView to stop child attachment updates ever going out before the root one
This is a very temporary mechanism and will be commented out when the next step of the fix (to give root prims higher udpate priority) is committed
This code is a foreport from the equivalent changes in 0.6.9-post-fixes
* Simplified the interest management code to make it easier to add new policies. Prioritization and reprioritization share code paths now
* Improved the distance and front back policies to always give your avatar the highest priority
