Building iperf3 3.10, cross-compiling via Buildroot, with autoconf 2.69

it generates a ./configure error:

I guess I should have checked the new issues filed before finalizing the 3.10 release. Ran into this problem with the FreeBSD ports build. Will investigate...hopefully your patch fixes the problem. Thanks for the report!

Grf, problems in this area are related to the change from using autoconf-2.69 to autoconf-2.71. Still working on things.

@bmah888 : Closing the loop ... 3.10.1's ./configure script now works for us.

FYI, by requiring newer than autoconf 2.69 currently prevents Buildroot from rebuilding configure.ac if ever needed, but the default ./configure script works. All good for now.

Thanks much for the timely fix.

Glad that's better, or at least unbroken. Sorry for the hassle! I severely underestimated the differences between autoconf-2.69 and autoconf-2.70/2.71.

    Reliable receiving (-r) data as sent by sender

    Two changes implemented:

    1. On client, Following TEST_END signal, it sends the total number of bytes sent for server over control-socket.

    2. On server,
        a. following TEST_END it receives the total number of bytes and sets to test->settings->bytes
        b. (if reliability requested) it defers the test termination and cleanup until that exact number of bytes are received (timer-based solution)

    Tested on:
    * Debian 11 running on x86-64 with this field.
    * Debian 10 armv7 running on Raspberry Pi 2 without this field.
    * NetBSD 9.2 armv7 running on Raspberry Pi 3 with this field.
    * FreeBSD 13 aarch64 running on Raspberry Pi 4 with this field.

commit 1a69ad8
Author: Bruce A. Mah <[email protected]>
Date:   Fri Apr 16 14:59:31 2021 -0700

    fix:  Handle a corner case more gracefully.

    If the buffer happens to be holding exactly a sending chunk size,
    we no longer arbitrarily quit.

    While here, use equivalent, easier-to-read tests in a couple places.

    Discussed with @hanvari

    Follow-up to esnet#1115.

commit 6326901
Author: Hamid Anvari <[email protected]>
Date:   Tue Feb 2 01:12:17 2021 -0700

    diskfile_send() sent data capped at file-size

    Issue: `diskfile_send()` unconditional call to `sp->snd2`
    would result in sending full buffer size everytime,
    regardless of the file size.

    Fix: The function updated to check for end-of-file (reading 0 bytes)
    and,
    1. set `sp->pending_size` to appropriate data length available to be sent
    2. check for end condition and avoid sending data more than file size.

    Note: The fix is only for the maximum cap on the data size sent on the network.
    If other parameters (-t, -n, etc.) yield smaller size or shorter time then needed,
    the file will still be partially sent to the network.

    Make sure we don't pass in a negative buffer size.
    In theory this check should always succeed, given the relative
    buffer sizes as currently coded.

Date:   Wed Apr 14 08:31:07 2021 -0700

    fix: Handle correctly some errors on initial client connect. (esnet#1139)

    This is a mostly-cosmetic reimplementation of pull request esnet#1128.

    Original commit log:

    Fix two issues that caused an active TCP test to terminate if a new
    connection request was received while in streams creation phase.
    One issue was in iperf_tcp_accept() - after identifying that the cookies
    of the new connection if from a new client, error was returned which
    caused the active test to terminate. The other issue was in
    iperf_run_server() where congestion alg was set for the new client,
    although the stream to it was already closed by iperf_tcp_accept().
    That also cause the active test to terminate.

    Another minor issue that was fixed is that after a client received a
    failure state (negative state) from the server, iperf_client_end()
    still tried to send back IPERF_DONE to the server. That caused the
    client to issue failure message of "unable to send control message:
    Connection reset by peer" instead of "the server is busy running a test".

Date:   Fri Apr 9 12:47:06 2021 -0700

    fix: Don't try to close the control connection if it never got opened. (esnet#1136)

    This prevents an "undefined socket" error, which can be incorrect if
    the control connection didn't get opened due to a (for example)
    "connection refused" type error.

    This can be tested by running iperf3 in client mode and pointing it
    towards a non-existent (or not-running) server.

    Fixes esnet#1129 (esnet#1132 was an earlier, partial fix).

commit 5603721
Author: David Bar-On <[email protected]>
Date:   Fri Feb 26 22:39:06 2021 +0200

    enh: Add --rcv-timeout option (esnet#1125)

    Enhancement to PR esnet#1101 - add --rcv-timeout option to allow setting the timeout for receiving packet from the sender in a running test, instead of the constant 120 seconds set in esnet#1101. This is to allow short timeout, so the server will not be "busy" for long time doing nothing. Also, the resolution is set to ms (with minimum of 100ms), as at least in fast networks that may be required.

    Since both the server and the client can be a sender, the option is allowed for both. The server setting is for all tests - the client is not sending its --rcv-timeout setting to the server.

    While changing the help message, few printf constants from other help lines were changed to parameters.

commit a9ec05d
Author: Hamid Anvari <[email protected]>
Date:   Fri Feb 5 17:04:56 2021 -0700

    Fix/Optimize test termination condition check (esnet#1114)

    `test->done` represents the test completion.
    In some modes, duration-based (-t) test, and file-transfer (-F)  in particular,
    the `test->done` is set during the timeout handler or file-transfer functions.
    For such configurations, and in general, `test->done` being set is sufficient
    condition for terminating the test.

    This commit generalizes the condition check to `test->done`,
    removing the clause which limtis this condition case to duration-based test only.

commit dc67ced
Author: Hamid Anvari <[email protected]>
Date:   Fri Feb 5 16:59:35 2021 -0700

    Fix iperf_send() termination test in bytes/blocks mode (esnet#1113)

    In iperf_send() function, the check for termination test
    in bytes/blocks mode is at the end of the iteration loop
    for multisend (outer loop) and streams (inner loop).
    If for any iteration of multisend (outer) loop bytes/blocks
    sent reaches the desired limit, it still continues to send
    data until the loop is exhausted. (The `break;` command does not
    help, since it is already inside the streams (inner) loop).

    This is a simple fix which brings the condition check to the
    beginning of the inner loop, so it will skip the iteration if
    the bytes/blocks count is already reached the target; hence
    avoiding to send more data to the network.

    fix (tcp): Fix behavior with partial sends when using -k with TCP (esnet#1082)

    We now only count an attempted send once all of its bytes are sent
    (and will perform partial sends if necessary to finish sending all the bytes).
    Previously, partial sends were counted as completed, for the purpose
    of the -k option.

    Bitrate throttling when burst is specified (esnet#1090)

    When the -b option specifies a burst value, throttling the bitrate does not work. This is because iperf_check_throttle() does not perform the check when burst value was defined.

    This change removes the dependency of iperf_check_throttle() on the burst value and moves that check to the caller of that function. (Except for the call by send_timer_proc() which does not seem to be related to the change.)

    Closing server prot_listener socket after stream setup failure (esnet#1084)

    Making sure the server closes prot_listener socket at the end of a session with a client. Without this change the socket may remain open, for example when there is a failure during the UDP stream establishment because the --window value is too high. Closing the socket was added to cleanup_server() as it seems to handle all cases where the socket may remain open.
