Wire the shared registry into the accept loop (parent claims a slot before
fork, blocks SIGCHLD across fork+pid publication, and reclaims the dead
child's slot from the SIGCHLD handler so per-module/per-source counts are
released even on SIGKILL). The connection child records the selected module
and normalized peer IP once the config frame names them: an over-cap module
or source is refused at the config gate with an audit log, and a source
that exceeded the auth-failure threshold is refused before a SCRAM
challenge (the counter is shared across children and cleared on success).
The existing global cap and host ACLs are untouched.
Add global keys `max connections per host` (default 0 = unlimited),
`auth lockout threshold` (default 10, 0 disables) and
`auth lockout duration` (default 300 s, 0 disables). Module
`max connections` now accepts 0 as unlimited. Bound the number of
[module] sections (DAEMON_CONF_MAX_MODULES) so the shared registry's
per-module counter array stays fixed-size; absent keys keep their
defaults so old configs still load.
The daemon forks one child per accepted connection, so per-module and
per-source accounting must live in state shared across the children. Add a
fixed-size registry carved from an anonymous shared mapping
(mmap(MAP_SHARED|MAP_ANONYMOUS)) created before the accept loop: a slot
lifecycle (FREE/CLAIMED/REGISTERED) with parent claim/reclaim and a
lock-free, open-addressed per-source table for the per-host occupancy and
the shared auth-failure counter. C11 atomics only; no pthread locks across
fork.
Unit tests cover slot exhaustion, the module/host caps, pid reclaim and
fork-shared visibility.
The benchmark tool used stale rsync-style spellings that map to
different FastSync options, so it never enabled the features it
claimed to measure:
-c -> --checksum (not compression)
-m -> --prune-empty-dirs (not multithreading)
-s -> --secluded-args, a no-op (not chunk serialization)
-f -> --filter, needs an argument (not sendfile)
Replace them with the real flags (-z, -j, --chunk-serialization,
--sendfile), force CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release, route informational
output to stderr so --output json emits valid JSON, surface
client/rsync failures instead of silently dropping them, and widen
the results table for the longer config names. Update the benchmark
skill to match (correct flags, server invocation, and replace the
nonexistent test.py --full with benchmark/bench.py).
Data charged against a ProtocolSession kept only the charge amount, so
data_destroy released it from whatever session was thread-locally bound
at destroy time. Destroying a received Data on another thread, after the
session was unbound, or while a different session was bound leaked the
originating session's budget and underflowed the other's.
Add Data.owner, set it whenever protocol_receive_data_limited charges a
session, and have data_destroy release against that owner directly via
the newly-exported protocol_release_memory_for_session. Uncharged Data
(owner NULL) keeps the previous bound-session fallback.
Add a unit test proving a Data acquired on session A is released to A
even when unrelated session B is bound at destroy time.
