* Added a new [Startup] config option called use_async_when_possible to signal how to run operations that could be either sync or async
* Changed Scene.ForEachClient to respect use_async_when_possible
* Fixing a potential deadlock in Parallel.ForEach by locking on a temporary object instead of the enumerator (which may be shared across multiple invocations on ForEach). Thank you diva
* Lock the LLUDPClient RTO math * Add a helper function for backing off the RTO, and follow the optional advice in RFC 2988 to clear existing SRTT and RTTVAR values during a backoff
* Removing the unused PrimitiveBaseShape.SculptImage parameter * Improved performance of SceneObjectPart instantiation * ZeroMesher now drops SculptData bytes like Meshmerizer, to allow the texture data to be GCed * Improved typecasting speed in MySQLLegacyRegionData.BuildShape()
* Improved the instantiation of PrimitiveBaseShape
* Avoid allocating an Action<IClientAPI> object every round of the OutgoingPacketHandler
* Removed unnecessary semi-colon endings from OpenSim.ini.example [InterestManagement] section
* 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)
* Removed the unused PacketSent() function
* Switched UnackedPacketCollection from a SortedDictionary to a Dictionary now that the sorting is no longer needed. Big performance improvement for ResendUnacked()
* 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
* Clamp retransmission timeout values between three and 10 seconds
* Log outgoing time for a packet right after it is sent instead of well before
* Loop through the entire UnackedPacketCollection when looking for expired packets
* 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
* Added TokenBucket.cs to OpenSim, with some fixes for setting a more accurate MaxBurst value and getting a more accurate Content value (by Drip()ing each get)
* 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)
