decouple disconnection of the main channel from client destruction
Fixes rhbz#918169 Some channels make direct calls to reds/main_channel routines. If these routines try to read/write to the socket, and they get socket error, main_channel_client_on_disconnect is called, and triggers red_client_destroy. In order to prevent accessing expired references to RedClient, RedChannelClient, or other objects (inside the original call, after red_client_destroy has been called) I made the call to red_client_destroy asynchronous with respect to main_channel_client_on_disconnect. I added MAIN_DISPATCHER_CLIENT_DISCONNECT to main_dispatcher. main_channel_client_on_disconnect pushes this msg to the dispatcher, instead of calling directly to reds_client_disconnect. The patch uses RedClient ref-count in order to handle a case where reds_client_disconnect is called directly (e.g., when a new client connects while another one is connected), while there is already CLIENT_DISCONNECT msg pending in the main_dispatcher. Examples: (1) snd_worker.c snd_disconnect_channel() channel->cleanup() //snd_playback_cleanup reds_enable_mm_timer() . . main_channel_push_multi_media_time()...socket_error . . red_client_destory() . . snd_disconnect_channel() channel->cleanup() celt051_encoder_destroy() celt051_encoder_destory() // double release Note that this bug could have been solved by changing the order of calls: e.g., channel->stream = NULL before calling cleanup, and some other changes + reference counting. However, I found other places in the code with similar problems, and I looked for a general solution, at least till we redesign red_channel to handle reference counting more consistently. (2) inputs_channel.c inputs_connect() main_channel_client_push_notify()...socket_error . . red_client_destory() . . red_channel_client_create() // refers to client which is already destroyed (3) reds.c reds_handle_main_link() main_channel_push_init() ...socket error . . red_client_destory() . . main_channel_client_start_net_test(mcc) // refers to mcc which is already destroyed This can explain the assert in rhbz#964136, comment #1 (but not the hang that occurred before).
