* net: one socket per client - four-tuple demux, spawning accept, bounded closeuser2026-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A server could only ever hold ONE connection, which makes an ircd pointless: listen() turned the listener into the connection, and net_find_tcp demuxed on local port alone, so two clients on 6667 were indistinguishable. - net_find_tcp now matches an established socket on the full four-tuple (local port + peer IP + peer port) and only falls back to a LISTENing socket when none matches. - A SYN at a listener no longer consumes it: tcp_spawn_conn clones a new socket (local port + owning pid, so exit/kill still reclaims it) and the listener keeps listening. accept() returns that socket; closing it leaves the listener alone. A full table drops the SYN, and the client's retransmit is taken once a slot frees. - tcp_peer_is_current preserves BC: net_find_tcp scans with the socket index there, and the compare needs BC for the rx buffer base. Without this the scan died at the first mismatching socket, so a second client's handshake ACK never reached its socket and it hung in SYNRCVD - tcpdump showed our SYN+ACK going out and the client's NICK retransmitted five times into silence. - listen() only conflicts with another LISTENER on the port; connections share it by design now. - MAX_SOCKS 4 -> 6 (listener + 3 clients + 2 spare; 537 bytes of WRAM0 still free), and SK_ACC marks a spawned connection as not yet accepted. tcp_close's settle is also time-boxed to ~250 ms of real time. It counted PUMPS (8 x 8000), which is ~30s of wall clock when the peer never answers - invisible with well-behaved peers, but a daemon refusing a client that stayed connected froze itself, and every other client with it, for half a minute. httpd keeps its listener open across requests now, so the next client's SYN is accepted immediately instead of being dropped between close and re-listen: three parallel clients go 0.1/1.1/2.1s -> 0.4/1.0/0.1s.
* usr: httpd - the Game Boy serves its filesystem over HTTPuser2026-09-22
/# httpd & host$ curl http://10.0.0.2/ -> a listing of the cart RAM host$ curl http://10.0.0.2/readme -> the file, from battery-backed SRAM GET only. "/" serves /index.html if present, else a generated listing; any directory lists with every entry linked, so you can click around a 1997 handheld's disk from a browser. Content type from the extension. No Content-Length: HTTP/1.0 + Connection: close delimits the body by closing, which suits a stack with one in-flight segment. All output goes through one 200-byte buffer, so each net_send is a full segment instead of one tiny segment per string. It drains the whole request, not just the request line. That is not politeness: leaving the rest unread means those segments are never acknowledged, so the client retransmits headers for a minute, never sends its FIN, and its dead connection keeps arriving at port 80 long after we re-listen. One curl with 1.4 KB of headers stalled every following request for 30-120s. It deliberately does NOT read the keyboard either. Backgrounded - the useful way to run it - every key it polled would be a key stolen from the shell's prompt. It is a daemon: kill(1) stops it, and the kernel reclaims its socket. Verified with curl: index, byte-exact file bodies, nested paths, directory listings, 404, 501, a 1.4 KB request spanning segments, browser user-agents, three parallel clients (0.1/1.1/2.1s), the shell staying usable alongside it, and six kill/restart cycles - more than there are sockets.
