libbb: add generic "fd polling and I/O" loop, use it in telnetd

2026-02-21T15:54:35+00:00

We do it, badly, in many places. Better to use one robust implementation. Can be buggy yet. Initial use is in a rather old, rarely used tech: telnet. The I/O in telnetd should be fully non-blocking now, including pty delays handling. Several bugs in telnetd handling of IACs are fixed. function old new delta ioloop_run - 411 +411 net_to_pty__have_data_to_write - 368 +368 pty_to_net__write - 318 +318 net_to_pty__write - 180 +180 pty_to_net__read - 171 +171 net_to_pty__have_buffer_to_read_into - 164 +164 pty_to_net__have_buffer_to_read_into - 90 +90 net_to_pty__read - 87 +87 pty_to_net__have_data_to_write - 59 +59 make_new_session 491 550 +59 conn_close_fds - 52 +52 accept_conn__accept - 49 +49 conn_close_fds_remove_and_free - 27 +27 ioloop_remove_conn - 22 +22 remove_and_free_to_pty - 19 +19 ioloop_insert_conn - 10 +10 accept_conn__can_accept - 6 +6 accept_conn__return_zero - 3 +3 static.ayt_response - 2 +2 handle_sigchld 59 61 +2 free_session 130 - -130 telnetd_main 1797 367 -1430 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (add/remove: 19/1 grow/shrink: 2/1 up/down: 2099/-1560) Total: 539 bytes Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko
