From: Daniel Wagner <[email protected]>Hi, This is what I announced as the second part of the session cleanup. Since it is a bit more than just a cleanup, I renamed the series. Anyway, this series is a complete overhaul of the session selection algorithm. Instead of trying to do the service selection in session.c we drop back to do this work in service.c. It turns out that this is pretty straight forward and works really nicely. This is how all works: - session.c exposes which the configuration and the connection request - when a session is created, session.c tells via __connman_service_set_active_session() to consider the newly created session. - service.c keeps for a list of sessions for each service which match - when the service state changes all sessions associated to the service will be updated if the READY/ONLINE state is entered or left. - the decision which service to connect is done by the normal auto_connect_service() function. no change on the logic there. As usual there is one point though to consider. Since the auto connect algorithm is used, the AutoConnect flag needs to be interpreted slightly different. In order not to disturb any existing users the SessionAutoConnectMode configuration flag is introduced. When AutoConnect is set to true (and SessionAutoConnectMode=true) the service is only connected to when there is a session user for it. That is Session.Connect() has been called. When no session is interested in a connection (all have either called Session.Disconnect() or never called Session.Connect()) then the system stays idle. A very popular use-case for me :) Note that all Service API actions over rule the Session API actions, e.g. Session.Connect() establishes a connection, it is still possible to disconnect via Service.Disconnect().
Could you add the above, and perhaps in slightly more verbose format, documented into doc/session-overview.txt?
It would be nice to have this written somewhere in plain English. -- Cheers, Jukka _______________________________________________ connman mailing list [email protected] https://lists.connman.net/mailman/listinfo/connman
