Hi, I have a bufferevent_filter to parse some protocol data from the "src" evbuffer and unwrap it into the "dst" evbuffer.
This all works fine. The problem I have, however, is that when there is a greedy sender sending a lot of data the input_filter just keeps getting called hundreds or thousands of times, massively bloating the dst buffer. What I would *like* to happen is for the lower level read callback (on the bev which is wrapped by the filter) to be called so that dst gets drained and I don't get the bloat. I've read the docs and I can't seem to grock this part of it and couldn't find a relevant example. Can someone please advise how to accomplish this? I see that the filter callback has a "enum bufferevent_flush_mode state" parameter. Is this relevant here?
