MDB_TOOL mode vs. large mdb_env_set_maxreaders()?
by Hallvard Breien Furuseth 28 Aug '14

28 Aug '14

If an lmdb application configures a non-default maxreaders, this setting is ignored if a tool like mdb_copy is already running (maybe from crontab). I suggest mdb_copy & co should use an MDB_TOOL env flag which requires the lockfile (if any) to be valid, and only partly reinitializes it. The upcoming MDB_ROBUST flag might also make use of this. An alternative would be to stuff this into the metapages, but that seems less flexible. -- Hallvard

DTLS, cldaps?
by Howard Chu 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

Was just reviewing the latest OpenSSL security advisories, many of which apply to their DTLS implementation. I usually ignore anything that has to do with DTLS since LDAP is connection-oriented and not datagram based, but now it occurs to me to ask - is anyone using LDAP over UDP with DTLS? -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

I may be guessing wrong what's going on here, but anyway: CACHEFLUSH looks like it belongs before setting me_txns->mti_txnid which tells other threads/processes to use the new metapage. If so, MDB_NOLOCK may be in trouble since it uses pick_meta() instead of mti_txnid. Should there be a separate CACHEFLUSH after writing the datapages if MDB_NOLOCK, and the current CACHEFLUSH should just flush the metapages? Does the code contradict this comment above, or is it about something else? /* Memory ordering issues are irrelevant ... */ -- Hallvard
