Dispatching events via |nsIThread| doesn't work with worker threads. This
patch replaces all uses of |nsIThread| in the socket code by equivalent
uses of |MessageLoop|.
Different users of the socket I/O code have different requirements
for their I/O buffers. This patch moves the buffer management into
sub-classes of |UnixSocketBuffer|. Each of them can maintain memory
according to its needs.
The socket IPC interfaces still use 'main thread' in a number of
places. This patch changes all such interfaces and documentation
to speak of 'consumer thread' instead.
The consumer thread handles socket creation, destruction, and
data processing for socket IPC. Traditionally this has been
done on the main thread.
This patch extends the socket IPC classes to support arbitrary
consumer threads. The thread is configured when establishing a
connection, and performs all of the above operations until the
socket is closed.
The I/O thread sends and receives data on a file descriptor. This
has traditionally been performed on a single I/O thread.
This patch extends the socket IPC classes to support arbitrary I/O
threads. The thread is configured when a connection is established
and used until the socket gets closed.
Both types, |union sockaddr_any| and |struct sockaddr_storage|, provide
a sockaddr type that can hold any address. The latter is standardized by
POSIX, so we prefer it.
This patch converts |ListenSocket| to forward events to an instance
of |ListenSocketConsumer|. All users are converted and the related
listener and consumer classes are removed.
This patch converts |StreamSocket| to forward events and data to an
instance of |StreamSocketConsumer|. All users are converted and the
related listener and consumer classes are removed.
With this patch, stream and listening sockets handle the setup of
accepted sockets internally. Sub-classes of |StreamSocket| don't
have to overload StreamSocket's |GetIO| any longer.
The new method |UnixSocketConnector::Duplicate| allows a socket
connector to duplicate itself. Listening sockets will used this
feature to create socket connectors for accepted connections.
This patch cleans up the interface of |StreamSocket|. All arguments
that contain protocol parameters are removed from |Connect|. They are
stored in the connector class. |Connect| now returns error codes. The
method |GetSocketAddr| is unused and not thread-safe and therefore
removed. The method |SendSocketData| for strings is unused and removed.

This patch converts the socket I/O classes to use the new interface
of the socket-connector classes. All sockets are now created and set
up by a socket connector.
The current interface of |UnixSocketConnector| doesn't follow any design
and is not easily understandable.
This patch adds a new interface to the class. The new interface provides
a method for each of the following operations:
* converting an address to a human-readable string,
* creating a listening socket,
* creating a stream socket, and
* accepting a stream socket from a listening socket.
All arguments are stored in the connector class, so that connect and
listen methods of the socket classes don't require protocol-specific
arguments. All socket parameters are set within the connector class,
so each connector class can now select parameters individually.

This patch moves the code for setting socket flags in the socket I/O
classes to the few locations were sockets are created. Any other socket
setup is redundant and has been removed.
This patch cleans up the inherited methods of |ListenSocket|. Methods
of the same base class are grouped within the file, and each method is
labeled with 'override'.

of the same base class are grouped within the file, and each method
is labeled with 'override'.
This patch integrates |ConnectionOrientedSocket| into the hierarchy
of socket I/O classes. In future patches, the class can provide
common interfaces and functionality for all connection-oriented
sockets.
This patch removes the template parameters from
|SocketIODeleteInstanceRunnable| and moves its methods into the
C++ source file. All users have been adapted.
This patch removes the template parameters from
|SocketIORequestClosingRunnable| and moves its methods into
the C++ source file. All users have been adapted.
|ReceiveSocketData| receives socket data on the main thread. This
is a specific detail of the current socket classes, which should not
be required by future implementations.
This patch moves the receive method and the corresponding runnable
into socket classes.
This patch moves management of received socket I/O buffers from
|DataSocketIO| into the I/O classes. Each I/O class is responsible
for (de-)allocating buffers, and consuming them once data has been
received.
All current I/O classes forward their buffers to the main thread,
but other operations are possible. For example, received data can
be parsed and processed directly in the I/O thread.
This patch renames |SocketConsumerBase| to |DataSocket|, and for the
I/O classes |SocketConsumerIO| to |DataSocketIO|. |DataSocketIO| also
contains send and receive functionality from |SocketBaseIO|.
|DataSocket| is a virtual base class that represents a socket that
transfers data, without a particular constraints to what the data
represents. |DataSocketIO| is the corresponding helper class on the
I/O thread.
This patch moves memory management of |UnixSocketIOBuffer| into
|UnixSocketBuffer| and extends |UnixSocketIOBuffer| with send and
receive interfaces. The class is now the base for all socket-buffer
classes, such as |UnixSocketRawData| and |BluetoothDaemonPDU|.
The destructor methods of ref-counted classes are supposed to
be non-public to prevent accidential deletion. This patch fixes
|SocketBase|'s destructor.
