This avoids race conditions between calls to cancel() and jobs that like
to be rescheduled. If jobs were able to reschedule themselves it would
theoretically be possible that two worker threads have the same job
assigned (the one currently executing the job and the one executing the
same but rescheduled job if it already is time to execute it), this means
that cancel() could be called twice for that job.
Creating a new job based on the current one and reschedule that is also
OK, but rescheduling itself is more efficient for jobs that need to be
executed often.
This ensures that no threads are active when plugins and the rest of the
daemon are unloaded.
callback_job_t was simplified a lot in the process as its main
functionality is now contained in processor_t. The parent-child
relationships were abandoned as these were only needed to simplify job
cancellation.
Jobs are now destroyed by the processor, but they are allowed to
reschedule themselves. That is, parts of the reschedule functionality
already provided by callback_job_t is moved to the processor. Not yet
fully supported is JOB_REQUEUE_DIRECT and canceling jobs.
Note: job_t.destroy() is now called not only for queued jobs but also
after execution or cancellation of jobs. job_t.status can be used to
decide what to do in said method.
This allows daemons and other components to register plugin features
like those provided by plugins (following the same lifecycle).
The added features are internally handled like they were added by a
plugin.
Because Linux kernels prior to 3.0 do not support RTA_PREFSRC for
IPv6 routes we didn't use NLM_F_DUMP to get all routes.
Still routes installed with policies are installed also for IPv6.
So since only one route is returned without DUMP, and we ignore
all routes from our own routing table, no source address was found
during roaming if DST of the installed route included the IKE peer.
With newer kernels we can now use DUMP as we did for IPv4 already,
for older kernels we do so if our own routes are installed in a
separate routing table, otherwise we still use GET.
