* Problem: TIPC availability check is too strict
Solution: at build time only check if the API is available. In the tests
do a first check and a skip if the functionality is not available.
TIPC needs an in-tree but not loaded by default kernel module, tipc.ko
to be loaded, which requires root, so it is unlikely to be available on
any build system by default.
This will allow most distributions to ship with TIPC support built in,
and to avoid tests failure if the module is not there.
* Problem: no Travis tests for TIPC
Solution: mark one job with sudo: required and load the kernel module
* Problem: CMake fails when test returns 77 (skip)
Solution: set property to let it mark the test as skipped as intended
* Background thread scheduling
- add ZMQ_THREAD_AFFINITY ctx option; set all thread scheduling options
from the context of the secondary thread instead of using the main
process thread context!
- change ZMQ_THREAD_PRIORITY to support setting NICE of the background
thread when using SCHED_OTHER
Linux now supports Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) as per:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/vrf.txt
In order for an application to bind or connect to a socket with an
address in a VRF, they need to first bind the socket to the VRF device:
setsockopt(sd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_BINDTODEVICE, dev, strlen(dev)+1);
Note "dev" is the VRF device, eg. VRF "blue", rather than an interface
enslaved to the VRF.
Add a new socket option, ZMQ_BINDTODEVICE, to bind a socket to a device.
In general, if a socket is bound to a device, eg. an interface, only
packets received from that particular device are processed by the socket.
If device is a VRF device, then subsequent binds/connects to that socket
use addresses in the VRF routing table.
Solution: use pthread API to set the name. For now call every thread
"ZMQ b/g thread". Would be nice to number the I/O threads and name
explicitly the reaper thread, but in reality a bit of internal API
churn would be necessary, so perhaps it's not worth it.
This is useful when debugging a process with many threads.
Solution: add macro in ZMQSourceRunChecks.cmake and optionally
include the TIPC sources if the support is available.
More importantly, only run the TIPC tests if the support is there.
