Win32: replaced NGX_EXDEV with more appropriate error code.
Correct error code for NGX_EXDEV on Windows is ERROR_NOT_SAME_DEVICE,
"The system cannot move the file to a different disk drive".
Previously used ERROR_WRONG_DISK is about wrong diskette in the drive and
is not appropriate.
There is no real difference though, as MoveFile() is able to copy files
between disk drives, and will fail with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED when asked
to copy directories. The ERROR_NOT_SAME_DEVICE error is only used
by MoveFileEx() when called without the MOVEFILE_COPY_ALLOWED flag.
On Windows there are two possible error codes which correspond to
the EEXIST error code: ERROR_FILE_EXISTS used by CreateFile(CREATE_NEW),
and ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS used by CreateDirectory().
MoveFile() seems to use both: ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS when moving within
one filesystem, and ERROR_FILE_EXISTS when copying a file to a different
drive.

Fixed socket inheritance on reload and binary upgrade.
On nginx reload or binary upgrade, an attempt is made to inherit listen sockets
from the previous configuration. Previously, no check for socket type was made
and the inherited socket could have the wrong type. On binary upgrade, socket
type was not detected at all. Wrong socket type could lead to errors on that
socket due to different logic and unsupported syscalls. For example, a UDP
socket, inherited as TCP, lead to the following error after arrival of a
datagram: "accept() failed (102: Operation not supported on socket)".
It allows to turn off accumulation of small pool allocations into a big

This structure cannot be allocated as a large block anyway, otherwise that will
result in infinite recursion, since each large allocation requires to allocate
another ngx_pool_large_t.

Fixed timeouts with threaded sendfile() and subrequests.
If a write event happens after sendfile() but before we've got the

Removing the events works in the simple cases, but not always, as
in some cases events are added back by an unrelated code. E.g.,
the upstream module adds write event in the ngx_http_upstream_init()

Fix is to use wev->complete instead. It is now set to 0 before
a sendfile() task is posted, and it is set to 1 once a write event
happens. If on completion of the sendfile() task wev->complete is 1,
we know that an event happened while we were executing sendfile(), and
the socket is still ready for writing even if sendfile() did not sent
all the data or returned EAGAIN.

Upstream: avoid closing client connection in edge case.

If a client sends If-None-Match, and the upstream server returns 200 with a
matching ETag, no body should be returned to the client. At the start of
ngx_http_upstream_send_response proxy_no_cache is not yet tested, thus cacheable
is still 1 and downstream_error is set.

Copy filter: fixed sendfile aio handlers to set ctx->aio.
Sendfile handlers (aio preload and thread handler) are called within

make sure loop within ngx_output_chain() will be properly terminated.
There are no known cases that trigger the problem, though in theory
something like aio + sub filter (something that needs body in memory,
and can also free some memory buffers) + sendfile can result in
"task already active" and "second aio post" alerts.
The fix is to set ctx->aio in ngx_http_copy_aio_sendfile_preload()

For consistency, ctx->aio is no longer set explicitly in
ngx_output_chain_copy_buf(), as it's now done in

Fixed sendfile in threads (or with aio preload) and subrequests.
If sendfile in threads is used, it is possible that multiple
subrequests will trigger multiple ngx_linux_sendfile_thread() calls,
as operations are only serialized in output chain based on r->aio,
that is, on subrequest level.
This resulted in "task #N already active" alerts, in particular, when
running proxy_store.t with "aio threads; sendfile on;".
Fix is to tolerate duplicate calls, with an additional safety check
that the file is the same as previously used.
The same problem also affects "aio on; sendfile on;" on FreeBSD
(previously known as "aio sendfile;"), where aio->preload_handler()
could be called multiple times due to similar reasons, resulting in
"second aio post" alerts. Fix is the same as well.
It is also believed that similar problems can arise if a filter
calls the next body filter multiple times for some reason. These are
mostly theoretical though.
HTTP/2: implemented per request timeouts (closes #626).
Previously, there were only three timeouts used globally for the whole HTTP/2
connection:
1. Idle timeout for inactivity when there are no streams in processing
(the "http2_idle_timeout" directive);
2. Receive timeout for incomplete frames when there are no streams in
processing (the "http2_recv_timeout" directive);
3. Send timeout when there are frames waiting in the output queue
(the "send_timeout" directive on a server level).
Reaching one of these timeouts leads to HTTP/2 connection close.
This left a number of scenarios when a connection can get stuck without any
processing and timeouts:
1. A client has sent the headers block partially so nginx starts processing
a new stream but cannot continue without the rest of HEADERS and/or
CONTINUATION frames;
2. When nginx waits for the request body;
3. All streams are stuck on exhausted connection or stream windows.
The first idea that was rejected was to detect when the whole connection
gets stuck because of these situations and set the global receive timeout.
The disadvantage of such approach would be inconsistent behaviour in some
typical use cases. For example, if a user never replies to the browser's
question about where to save the downloaded file, the stream will be
eventually closed by a timeout. On the other hand, this will not happen
if there's some activity in other concurrent streams.
Now almost all the request timeouts work like in HTTP/1.x connections, so
the "client_header_timeout", "client_body_timeout", and "send_timeout" are
respected. These timeouts close the request.
The global timeouts work as before.
Previously, the c->write->delayed flag was abused to avoid setting timeouts on
stream events. Now, the "active" and "ready" flags are manipulated instead to
control the processing of individual streams.
HTTP/2: always use temporary pool for processing headers.
This is required for implementing per request timeouts.
Previously, the temporary pool was used only during skipping of
headers and the request pool was used otherwise. That required
switching of pools if the request was closed while parsing.
It wasn't a problem since the request could be closed only after
the validation of the fully parsed header. With the per request
timeouts, the request can be closed at any moment, and switching
of pools in the middle of parsing header name or value becomes a
problem.
To overcome this, the temporary pool is now always created and
used. Special checks are added to keep it when either the stream
is being processed or until header block is fully parsed.
Fixed buffer over-read while logging invalid request headers.
Since 667aaf61a778 (1.1.17) the ngx_http_parse_header_line() function can return
NGX_HTTP_PARSE_INVALID_HEADER when a header contains NUL character. In this
case the r->header_end pointer isn't properly initialized, but the log message
in ngx_http_process_request_headers() hasn't been adjusted. It used the pointer
in size calculation, which might result in up to 2k buffer over-read.
