How many cpus does your machine have?
I'm running bind at home; not a whole lot of traffic to named so it
seemed like all those threads were a waste. So pretend there's only
one cpu:
$ grep bind /etc/default/named
# OPTIONS="-u bind "
OPTIONS="-u bind -n 1"
Thanks!
I can confirm netstat and ss show only one line per socket when starting
named with option "-n 1".
However, according to the manpage there should be "*two* threads per each CPU
present":
=========================================
-n #cpus
This option controls the number of CPUs that named assumes the
presence of.
If not specified, named tries to determine the number of CPUs
present automatically; if it fails, a single CPU is assumed to be
present.
named creates two threads per each CPU present (one thread for
receiving
and sending client traffic and another thread for sending and
receiving resolver traffic) and then on top of that a single
thread for
handling time-based events.
=========================================
When running named without setting "-n" on a test VM with a single CPU assigned,
I see two threads per socket which matches what the manpage says.
When starting named with "-n 1" I would expect to see two threads as well
but there is only one in the netstat / ss output.
And on a small embedded system with a single CPU, it creates *four* threads
per socket.
Hmmm...
