[PATCH v2 0/4] New line reading implementation

[David Gibson]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 886 bytes --]

As discussed on our call, the current line_read() implementation is
pretty ugly and has some definite bugs.  This series replaces it with
a new implementation which should be more solid and more readable.

The new implementation is larger than I'd really like, but it turns
out its fiddlier to handle the various edge cases than you might
think.

David Gibson (4):
  Add cleaner line-by-line reading primitives
  Parse resolv.conf with new lineread implementation
  Use new lineread implementation for procfs_scan_listen()
  Remove unused line_read()

[PATCH v2 1/4] Add cleaner line-by-line reading primitives

[David Gibson]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 6447 bytes --]

Two places in passt need to read files line by line (one parsing
resolv.conf, the other parsing /proc/net/*.  They can't use fgets()
because in glibc that can allocate memory.  Instead they use an
implementation line_read() in util.c.  This has some problems:

 * It has two completely separate modes of operation, one buffering
   and one not, the relation between these and how they're activated
   is subtle and confusing
 * At least in non-buffered mode, it will mishandle an empty line,
   folding them onto the start of the next non-empty line
 * In non-buffered mode it will use lseek() which prevents using this
   on non-regular files (we don't need that at present, but it's a
   surprising limitation)
 * It has a lot of difficult to read pointer mangling

Add a new cleaner implementation of allocation-free line-by-line
reading in lineread.c.  This one always buffers, using a state
structure to keep track of what we need.  This is larger than I'd
like, but it turns out handling all the edge cases of line-by-line
reading in C is surprisingly hard.

This just adds the code, subsequent patches will change the existing
users of line_read() to the new implementation.

clang-tidy still complains about this one, and I think it's reasonable
(though not fundamental) to change it, because (rc < 0) is a clear
error condition we're returning right away. I'd just change this on
merge.

[PATCH v2 2/4] Parse resolv.conf with new lineread implementation

[David Gibson]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2283 bytes --]

Switch the resolv.conf parsing in conf.c to use the new lineread
implementation.  This means that it can now handle a resolv.conf file which
contains blank lines.

There are quite a few other fragilities with the resolv.conf parsing, but
that's out of scope for this patch.
