Using `None` as the default key for a `@msg.pub` can cause conflicts if
there is more then one "taskless" (no tasks={,} passed) pub offered on
an actor... So instead use the first trio "task name" (usually just the
function name) instead thus avoiding this very hard to debug and
understand problem.
Probably should throw in a test but I'm super lazy today.
This begins the move to dropping support for `tractor.run()` which we
don't really need since the runtime is started (as it always has been)
from a new sub-task / nursery. Instead this introduces starting the
actor tree through a `open_root_actor()` async context manager which
we'll likely implicitly call (from the root) on the first use of an
actor nursery.
Drop `_actor._start_actor()` and factor its contents into this new api.
Make `run()` and `run_daemon()` use `open_root_actor()` until we decide
to remove them.
Relates to #168 and #177
It turns out in order to maintain our sneaky little "call an `Actor`
method in this remote process" we still need the ability to invoke
functions from a namespace. We're currently using a "self" namespace as
a way to do this for internal inter-process method calling. Either way,
I see no reason not to keep a public method for this invoke style (we
just won't market it) since it is still how the machinery works
underneath.
This resolves and completes #69 allowing all RPC invocation APIs to pass
function references directly instead of explicit `str` names for the
target namespace and function (this is still done implicitly
underneath). This brings us closer to `trio`'s task running API as well
as acknowledges that any inter-host RPC system (and API) will likely
need to be implemented on top of local RPC primitives anyway. Even if
this ends up **not** being true we can always go to "function stubs" as
part of our IAC protocol or, add a new method to do explicit namespace
calls: `.run_from_module()` or whatever everyone votes on.
Resolves#69
Further, this commit drops `Actor.statespace` from the entire system
since a user can easily get this same functionality using module
level variables. Fix docs to match all these changes (luckily mostly
already done due to example scripts referencing).
Add a ``tractor._portal.StreamReceiveChannel.shield_channel()`` context
manager which allows for avoiding the closing of an IPC stream's
underlying channel for the purposes of task re-spawning. Sometimes you
might want to cancel a task consuming a stream but not tear down the IPC
between actors (the default). A common use can might be where the task's
"setup" work might need to be redone but you want to keep the
established portal / channel in tact despite the task restart.
Includes a test.
Turns out this is a lower level issue in terms of the stdlib's default
`pdb.Pdb` settings and how they conflict with `trio`s cancellation and
KBI handling. The details are hashed out more thoroughly in
python-trio/trio#1155. Maybe we can get a fix in trio so things are
solved under our feet :)
The channel server should be torn down *before* the rpc
task/service nursery. Do this explicitly even in the root's main task
to avoid a strange hang I found in the pubsub tests. Start dropping
the `warnings.warn()` usage.
Add `Actor._cancel_called` and `._cancel_complete` making it possible to
determine whether the actor has started the cancellation sequence and
whether that sequence has fully completed. This allows for blocking in
internal machinery tasks as necessary. Also, always trigger the end of
ongoing rpc tasks even if the last task errors; there's no guarantee the
trio cancellation semantics will guarantee us a nice internal "state"
without this.
For reliable remote cancellation we need to "report" `trio.Cancelled`s
(just like any other error) when exhausting a portal such that the
caller can make decisions about cancelling the respective actor if need
be.
Resolves#156
Every subactor in the tree now receives the socket (or whatever the
mailbox type ends up being) during startup and can call the new
`tractor._discovery.get_root()` function to get a portal to the current
root actor in their tree. The main reason for adding this atm is to
support nested child actors gaining access to the root's tty lock for
debugging.
Also, when a channel disconnects from a message loop, might as well kill
all its rpc tasks.
It's not like any of this code is really being used anyway since we
aren't indefinitely blocking for cancelled subactors to terminate (yet).
Drop the `do_hard_kill()` bit for now and just rely on the underlying
process api. Oh, and mark the nursery as cancelled asap.
Seems like the request task cancel scope is actually solving all the
deadlock issues and masking SIGINT isn't changing much behaviour at all.
I think let's keep it unmasked for now in case it does turn out useful
in cancelling from unrecoverable states while in debug.
This is needed in order to avoid the deadlock condition where
a child actor is waiting on the root actor's tty lock but it's parent
(possibly the root) is waiting on it to terminate after sending a cancel
request. The solution is simple: create a cancel scope around the
request in the child and always cancel it when a cancel request from the
parent arrives.
There seems to be no good reason not too since our cancellation
machinery/protocol should do this work when the root receives the
signal. This also (hopefully) helps with some debugging race condition
stuff.
This seems to prevent a certain class of bugs to do with the root actor
cancelling local tasks and getting into deadlock while children are
trying to acquire the tty lock. I'm not sure it's the best idea yet
since you're pretty much guaranteed to get "stuck" if a child activates
the debugger after the root has been cancelled (at least "stuck" in
terms of SIGINT being ignored). That kinda race condition seems to still
exist somehow: a child can "beat" the root to activating the tty lock
and the parent is stuck waiting on the child to terminate via its
nursery.
This aids with tearing down resources **after** the crash handling and
debugger have completed. Leaving this internal for now but should
eventually get a public convenience function like
`tractor.context_stack()`.
Keep an actor local (bool) flag which determines if there is already
a running debugger instance for the current process. If another task
tries to enter in this case, simply ignore it since allowing entry may
result in a deadlock where the new task will be sync waiting on the
parent stdio lock (a case that will never arrive due to the current
debugger's active use of it).
In the future we may want to allow FIFO queueing of local tasks where
instead of ignoring re-entrant breakpoints we allow tasks to async wait
for debugger release, though not sure the implications of that since
you'd likely want to support switching the debugger to the new task and
that could cause deadlocks where tasks are inter-dependent. It may be
more sane to just error on multiple breakpoint requests within an actor.
This is the first step in addressing #113 and the initial support
of #130. Basically this allows (sub)processes to engage the `pdbpp`
debug machinery which read/writes the root actor's tty but only in
a FIFO semaphored way such that no two processes are using it
simultaneously. That means you can have multiple actors enter a trace or
crash and run the debugger in a sensible way without clobbering each
other's access to stdio. It required adding some "tear down hooks" to
a custom `pdbpp.Pdb` type such that we release a child's lock on the
parent on debugger exit (in this case when either of the "continue" or
"quit" commands are issued to the debugger console).
There's some code left commented in anticipation of full support for
issue #130 where we're need to actually capture and feed stdin to the
target (remote) actor which won't necessarily being running on the same
host.
Allow entering and attaching to a `pdb` instance in a child process.
The current hackery is to have the child make an rpc to the parent and
ask it to hijack stdin, once complete the child enters a `pdb` blocking
method. The parent then relays all stdin input to the child thus
controlling the "remote" debugger.
A few things were added to accomplish this:
- tracking the mapping of subactors to their parent nurseries
- in the root actor, cancelling all nurseries under the root `trio` task
on cancellation (i.e. `Actor.cancel()`)
- pass a "runtime vars" map down the actor tree for propagating global state
In an effort acquire more deterministic actor cancellation,
this adds a clearer and more resilient (whilst possibly a bit
slower) internal nursery structure with explicit semantics for
clarifying the task-scope shutdown sequence.
Namely, on cancellation, the explicit steps are now:
- cancel all currently running rpc tasks and wait
for them to complete
- cancel the channel server and wait for it to complete
- cancel the msg loop for the channel with the immediate parent
- de-register with arbiter if possible
- wait on remaining connections to release
- exit process
To accomplish this add a new nursery called the "service nursery" which
spawns all rpc tasks **instead of using** the "root nursery". The root
is now used solely for async launching the msg loop for the primary
channel with the parent such that it is (nearly) the last thing torn
down on cancellation.
In the future it should also be possible to have `self.cancel()` return
a result to the parent once the runtime is sure that the rest of the
shutdown is atomic; this would allow for a true unbounded shield in
`Portal.cancel_actor()`. This will likely require that the error
handling blocks in `Actor._async_main()` are moved "inside" the root
nursery block such that the msg loop with the parent truly is the last
thing to terminate.
Always shield waiting for he process and always run
``trio.Process.__aexit__()`` on teardown. This enforces
that shutdown happens to due cancellation triggered inside
the sub-actor instead of the process being killed externally
by the parent.
Trio will kill subprocesses via `Process.__aexit__()` using a `finally:`
block (which, yes, will get triggered on cancellation) so we avoid that
until true process "tear down" since subactors do many things during
graceful shutdown (such as de-registering from the name discovery
system). Oddly this only seems to be an issue during cancellation of
infinite stream consumption.
Resolves#141
In order to have reliable subactor startup we need the following
sequence to take place:
- connect to the parent actor, handshake and receive runtime state
- load exposed modules into memory
- start the channel server up fully using the provided bind address
- finally, start processing new messages from the parent
Add a bunch more comments to clarify all this.
Using the context manager interface does some extra teardown beyond simply
calling `.wait()`. Pass the subactor's "uid" on the exec line for
debugging purposes when monitoring the process tree from the OS.
Hard code the child script module path to avoid a double import warning.
This is an edit to factor out changes needed for the `asyncio` in guest mode
integration (which currently isn't tested well) so that later more pertinent
changes (which are tested well) can be rebased off of this branch and
merged into mainline sooner. The *infect_asyncio* branch will need to be
rebased onto this branch as well before merge to mainline.
This is an initial solution for #120.
Allow spawning `asyncio` based actors which run `trio` in guest
mode. This enables spawning `tractor` actors on top of the `asyncio`
event loop whilst still leveraging the SC focused internal actor
supervision machinery. Add a `tractor.to_syncio.run()` api to allow
spawning tasks on the `asyncio` loop from an embedded (remote) `trio`
task and return or stream results all the way back through the `tractor`
IPC system using a very similar api to portals.
One outstanding problem is getting SC around calls to
`asyncio.create_task()`. Currently a task that crashes isn't able to
easily relay the error to the embedded `trio` task without us fully
enforcing the portals based message protocol (which seems superfluous
given the error ref is in process). Further experiments using `anyio`
task groups may alleviate this.
The logic in the `ActorNursery` block is critical to cancellation
semantics and in particular, understanding how supervisor strategies are
invoked. Stick in a bunch of explanatory comments to clear up these
details and also prepare to introduce more supervisor strats besides
the current one-cancels-all approach.
Instead of hackery trying to map modules manually from the filesystem
let Python do all the work by simply copying what ``multiprocessing``
does to "fixup the __main__ module" in spawned subprocesses. The new
private module ``_mp_fixup_main.py`` is simply cherry picked code from
``multiprocessing.spawn`` which does just that. We only need these
"fixups" when using a backend other then ``multiprocessing``; for
now just when using ``trio_run_in_process``.
Thanks to @salotz for pointing out that the first example in the docs
was broken. Though it's somewhat embarrassing this might also explain
the problem in #79 and certain issues in #59...
The solution here is to import the target RPC module using the its
unique basename and absolute filepath in the sub-actor that requires it.
Special handling for `__main__` and `__mp_main__` is needed since the
spawned subprocess will have no knowledge about these parent-
-state-specific module variables. Solution: map the modules name to the
respective module file basename in the child process since the module
variables will of course have different values in children.
Add a `--spawn-backend` option which can be set to one of {'mp',
'trio_run_in_process'} which will either run the test suite using the
`multiprocessing` or `trio-run-in-process` backend respectively.
Currently trying to run both in the same session can result in hangs
seemingly due to a lack of cleanup of forkservers / resource trackers
from `multiprocessing` which cause broken pipe errors on occasion (no
idea on the details).
For `test_cancellation.py::test_nested_multierrors`, use less nesting
when mp is used since it breaks if we push it too hard with the
whole recursive subprocess spawning thing...
Set `trio-run-in-process` as the default on *nix systems and
`multiprocessing`'s spawn method on Windows. Enable overriding the
default choice using `tractor._spawn.try_set_start_method()`. Allows
for easy runs of the test suite using a user chosen backend.
This took a ton of tinkering and a rework of the actor nursery tear down
logic. The main changes include:
- each subprocess is now spawned from inside a trio task
from one of two containing nurseries created in the body of
`tractor.open_nursery()`: one for `run_in_actor()` processes and one for
`start_actor()` "daemons". This is to address the need for
`trio-run-in_process.open_in_process()` opening a nursery which must
be closed from the same task that opened it. Using this same approach
for `multiprocessing` seems to work well. The nurseries are waited in
order (rip actors then daemon actors) during tear down which allows
for avoiding the recursive re-entry of `ActorNursery.wait()` handled
prior.
- pull out all the nested functions / closures that were in
`ActorNursery.wait()` and move into the `_spawn` module such that
that process shutdown logic takes place in each containing task's
code path. This allows for vastly simplifying `.wait()` to just contain an
event trigger which initiates process waiting / result collection.
Likely `.wait()` should just be removed since it can no longer be used
to synchronously wait on the actor nursery.
- drop `ActorNursery.__aenter__()` / `.__atexit__()` and move this
"supervisor" tear down logic into the closing block of `open_nursery()`.
This not only cleans makes the code more comprehensible it also
makes our nursery implementation look more like the one in `trio`.
Resolves#93
Get a few more things working:
- fail reliably when remote module loading goes awry
- do a real hacky job of module loading using `sys.path` stuffsies
- we're still totally borked when trying to spin up and quickly cancel
a bunch of subactors...
It's a small move forward I guess.
Prepend the actor and task names in each log emission. This makes
debugging much more sane since you can see from which process and
running task the log message originates from!
Resolves#13
If a nursery fails to cancel (some sub-actors presumably) then hard kill
the whole process tree to avoid hangs during a catastrophic failure.
This logic may get factored out (and changed) as we introduce custom
supervisor strategies.
`trio.MultiError` isn't an `Exception` (derived instead from
`BaseException`) so we have to specially catch it in the task
invocation machinery and ship it upwards (like regular errors)
since nurseries running in sub-actors can raise them.
Add `@tractor.stream` which must be used to denote non async generator
streaming functions which use the `tractor.Context` API to push values.
This enforces a more explicit denotation as well as allows enforcing the
declaration of the `ctx` argument in definitions.
This begins moving toward explicitly decorated "streaming functions"
instead of checking for a `ctx` arg in the signature.
- provide each context with its task's top level `trio.CancelScope`
such that tasks can cancel themselves explictly if needed via calling
`Context.cancel_scope()`
- make `Actor.cancel_task()` a private method (`_cancel_task()`) and
handle remote rpc calls specially such that the caller does not need
to provide the `chan` argument; non-primitive types can't be passed on
the wire and we don't want the client actor be require knowledge of
the channel instance the request is associated with. This also ties into
how we're tracking tasks right now (`Actor._rpc_tasks` is keyed by the
call id, a UUID, *plus* the channel).
- make `_do_handshake` a private actor method
- use UUID version 4
Add full support for using the "spawn" process starting method as per:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html#contexts-and-start-methods
Add a `spawn_method` argument to `tractor.run()` for specifying the
desired method explicitly. By default use the "fastest" method available.
On *nix systems this is the original "forkserver" method.
This should be the solution to getting windows support!
Resolves#60
As mentioned in prior commits there's currently a bug in Python that
make async gens **not** task safe. Since this is the core cause of almost
all recent problems, instead implement our own async iterator derivative of
`trio.abc.ReceiveChannel` by wrapping a `trio._channel.MemoryReceiveChannel`.
This fits more natively with the memory channel API in ``trio`` and adds
potentially more flexibility for possible bidirectional inter-actor streaming
in the future.
Huge thanks to @oremanj and of course @njsmith for guidance on this one!
For now stop `.aclose()`-ing all async gens on portal close since it can
cause hangs and other weird behaviour if another task operates on the
same instance.
See https://bugs.python.org/issue32526.
Use an inner function / closure to properly process required arguments
at call time as is recommended in the `wrap` docs. Do async gen and
arg introspection at decorate time and raise appropriate type errors.
Turns out you get a bad situation if the target actor who's task you're
trying to cancel has already died (eg. from an external
`KeyboardInterrupt` or other error) and so we need to eventually bail on
the RPC request. Also don't bother closing the channel created in
`open_portal()` manually since the cancel scope should take care of all
that.
- when calling the async gen func provided by the user wrap it in
`@async_generator.aclosing` to ensure correct teardown at cancel time
- expect the gen to yield a dict with topic keys and data values
- add a `packetizer` function argument to the api allowing a user
to format the data to be published in whatever way desired
- support using the decorator without the parentheses (using default
arguments)
- use a `wrapt` "adapter" to override the signature presented to the
`_actor._invoke` inspection machinery
- handle the default case where `tasks` isn't provided; allow only one
concurrent publisher task
- store task locks in an actor local variable
- add a comprehensive doc string
Use the new `Actor.cancel_task()` api to remotely cancel streaming
tasks spawned by a portal. This guarantees that if an actor is
cancelled all its (remote) portal spawned tasks will be as well.
On portal teardown only cancel all async
generator calls (though we should cancel all RPC requests in general
eventually) and don't close the channel since it may have been passed
in from some other context that wishes to keep it connected. In
`open_portal()` run the message loop shielded so that if the local
task is cancelled, messaging will continue until the internal scope
is cancelled at end of block.
Enable cancelling specific tasks from a peer actor such that when
a actor task or the actor itself is cancelled, remotely spawned tasks
can also be cancelled. In much that same way that you'd expect a node
(task) in the `trio` task tree to cancel any subtasks, actors should
be able to cancel any tasks they spawn in separate processes.
To enable this:
- track rpc tasks in a flat dict keyed by (chan, cid)
- store a `is_complete` event to enable waiting on specific
tasks to complete
- allow for shielding the msg loop inside an internal cancel scope
if requested by the caller; there was an issue with `open_portal()`
where the channel would be torn down because the current task was
cancelled but we still need messaging to continue until the portal
block is exited
- throw an error if the arbiter tries to find itself for now
Add a draft pub-sub API `@tractor.msg.pub` which allows
for decorating an asyn generator which can stream topic keyed
dictionaries for delivery to multiple calling / consuming tasks.
Instead of chan/cid, whenever a remote function defines a `ctx` argument
name deliver a `Context` instance to the function. This allows remote
funcs to provide async generator like streaming replies (and maybe more
later).
Additionally,
- load actor modules *after* establishing a connection to the spawning
parent to avoid crashing before the error can be reported upwards
- fix a bug to do with unpacking and raising local internal actor errors
from received messages
RPC module/function lookups should not cause the target actor to crash.
This change instead ships the error back to the calling actor allowing
for the remote actor to continue running depending on the caller's
error handling logic. Adds a new `ModuleNotExposed` error to accommodate.
I'm not sure how this ever worked but when a "fake" async gen
(i.e. function with special `chan`, `cid` kwargs) is completed
we need to signal the end of the stream just like with normal
async gens. Also don't fail when trying to remove tasks that were
never tracked.
Fixes#46
At the expense of a bit more complexity in `ActorNursery.wait()`
(which I commented the heck out of fwiw) this adds far superior and
correct cancellation semantics for when a nursery is cancelled due
to (remote) errors in subactors.
This includes:
- `wait()` will now raise a `trio.MultiError` if multiple subactors
error with the same semantics as in `trio`.
- in `wait()` portals which are paired with `run_in_actor()`
spawned subactors (versus `start_actor()`) are waited on separately
and if the nursery **hasn't** been cancelled but there are errors
those are raised immediately before waiting on `start_actor()`
subactors which will block indefinitely if they haven't been
explicitly cancelled.
- if `wait()` does raise when the nursery hasn't yet been cancelled
it's expected that it will be called again depending on the actor
supervision strategy (i.e. right now we operate with a one-cancels-all
strategy, the same as `trio`, so `ActorNursery.__aexit__() calls
`cancel()` if any error is raised by `wait()`).
Oh and I added `is_main_process()` helper; can't remember why..
Use the new custom error types throughout the actor and portal
primitives and set a few new rules:
- internal errors are any error not raised by an rpc task and are
**not** forwarded to portals but instead are raised directly in
the msg loop.
- portals always re-raise a "main task" error for every call to
``Portal.result()``.
When an actor has already been registered with the arbiter it should
exist in the registry and thus the wait event should have been removed.
Check that the registry indeed holds an event before clearing it.
This is purely for documentation purposes for now as it should be
obvious a bunch of the signatures aren't using the correct "generics"
syntax (i.e. the use of `(str, int)` instead of `typing.Tuple[str, int])`)
in a bunch of places. We're also not using a type checker yet and besides,
`trio` doesn't really expose a lot of its internal types very well.
2SQASH
Something changed in 3.7 (likely to do with changes to the core
import system) that requires explicitly importing our version
of `forkserver.main()` in order to guarantee the server runs our
module code. Override `forkserver.ensure_running()`; specifically,
modify the python launch command.
This ensures that internal errors received from a remote actor are
indeed raised even in the `MainProcess` **before** comms tasks are
cancelled. Internal error in this case means any error packet received
on a channel that doesn't have a `cid` header. RPC errors (which **do**
have a `cid` header) are still forwarded to the consuming caller as usual.
If an internal error is bubbled up from some sub-actor throw that error
into the `MainProcess` "main" async function / coro in order to trigger
nursery teardowns (i.e. cancellations) that need to be done.
I'll likely change this shortly back to where we run a "main task"
inside `actor._async_main()`...
Allows for waiting on another actor (by name) to register with the
arbiter. This makes synchronized actor spawning and consecutive task
coordination easier to accomplish from within sub-actors.
Resolves#31
This allows for registering more then one actor with the same "name"
when you have multiple actors fulfilling the same role. Eventually
we'll need support for looking up all actors registered under a given
"service name" (or whatever we decide to call it).
Also, a fix to the arbiter such that each new instance refers to a
separate `_registry` dict (found an issue with duplicate names during
testing).
Resolves#7
Start a forkserver once in the main (parent-most) process
and pass ipc info (fds) to subprocesses manually such that embedded
calls to `multiprocessing.Process.start()` just work. Note that this
relies on our overridden version of the stdlib's
`multiprocessing.forkserver` module.
Resolves#6
The stdlib insists on creating multiple forkservers and semaphore trackers
for each sub-sub-process launched. This isn't ideal since it costs each
`tractor` sub-actor an additional 2 more processes then necessary and is
confusing when viewed as a process tree (eg. via `pstree`).
The majority of the change is simply avoiding the call to
`forkserver.ensure_running()` and `semaphore_tracker.ensure_running()`
in `ForkServer.connect_new_process()` and instead treating the user like
an adult and expecting those calls to be made *once* in the parent most
process (i.e. what `multiprocessing` calls the `MainProcess`).
Really a proper patch should be made against cpython which allows for
similar manual management of the server along with a mechanism to communicate
forkserver and semaphore tracker fd info to sub-processes such that
further calls to `Process.start()` work as expected.
Relates to #6
Stop worrying about a "main task" in each actor and instead add an
additional `ActorNursery.run_in_actor()` method which wraps calls
to create an actor and run a lone RPC task inside it. Note this
adjusts the public API of `ActorNursery.start_actor()` to drop
its `main` kwarg.
The dirty deats of making this possible:
- each spawned RPC task is now tracked with a specific cancel scope such
that when the actor is cancelled all ongoing responders are cancelled
before any IPC/channel machinery is closed (turns out that spawning
new actors from `outlive_main=True` actors was probably borked before
finally getting this working).
- make each initial RPC response be a packet which describes the
`functype` (eg. `{'functype': 'asyncfunction'}`) allowing for async
calls/submissions by client actors (this was required to make
`run_in_actor()` work - `Portal._submit()` is the new async method).
- hooray we can stop faking "main task" results for daemon actors
- add better handling/raising of internal errors caught in the bowels of
the `Actor` itself.
- drop the rpc spawning nursery; just use the `Actor._root_nursery`
- only wait on `_no_more_peers` if there are existing peer channels that
are actually still connected.
- an `ActorNursery.__aexit__()` now implicitly waits on `Portal.result()` on close
for each `run_in_actor()` spawned actor.
- handle cancelling partial started actors which haven't yet connected
back to the parent
Resolves#24
Take @njsmith's advice and properly close actor invoked async generators
using `async_generator.aclosing()` instead of hacking it (as previous)
with a shielded cancel scope.
Cancellation requires that each actor cancel it's spawned subactors
before cancelling its own root (nursery's) cancel scope to avoid breaking
channel connections before kill commands (`Actor.cancel()`) have been sent
off to peers. To solve this, ensure each main task is cancelled to
completion first (which will guarantee that all actor nurseries have
completed their cancellation steps) before cancelling the actor's "core"
tasks under the "root" scope.
Here is a bunch of code tightening to make sure cancellation works even
if recently spawned actors haven't fully started up and the parent is
cancelled.
The fixes include:
- passing the arbiter socket address to each actor
- ensure all spawned actors respect the spawner's log level
- handle process versus final `portal.result()` teardown in multiple
tasks such that if a proc dies before shipping a result we don't wait
- more detailed debug logging in teardown code paths
- don't store peer connected events in the same `dict` as the peer channels
- if necessary fake main task results on peer channel disconnect
- warn when a `trio.Cancelled` is what causes a nursery to bail
otherwise error
- store the subactor portal in the nursery for teardown purposes
- add dedicated `Portal.cancel_actor()` which acts as a "hard cancel"
and never blocks (indefinitely)
- add `Arbiter.unregister_actor()` it's more explicit what's being
requested
- Allow passing in a program-wide `loglevel`
- Add detailed debug logging particularly to do with channel msg processing
and connection handling
- Don't daemonize subprocesses for now as it prevents use of
sub-sub-actors (need to solve #6 first)
- Add a `Portal.close()` which just tells the remote actor to tear down
the channel (for now)
- Add a message to signal the remote `StopAsyncIteration` from an async
gen such that the client side terminates properly as well
- Make `Actor.cancel()` cancel the channel server first
- Actors *must* complete the arbiter registeration steps before moving
on with their main taks and rpc handling
- When delivering rpc responses (using the local per caller queue) use
the blocking interface (`trio.Queue.put()`) to get backpressure
- Properly detect an `partial` wrapped async generators in `_invoke`
Fix quite a few little bugs:
- async gen func detection in `_invoke()`
- always cancel channel server on main task exit
- wait for remaining channel peers after unsub from arbiter
- return result from main task(s) all the way up to `tractor.run()`
Also add a `Portal.result()` for getting the final result(s) from the
actor's main task and fix up a bunch of docs.
