I am trying to get the worker->id and the scoreboard associated logic moved in the reset() when using a balancer, those workers need a different handling if we want to have a shared information area for them.

The thing is that those workers are not really handled
by the balancer itself (nor should be), so the reset() shouldn;'t
apply. IMO, mod_proxy inits the generic forward/reverse workers
and m_p_b should handle the balancer-related ones.

Ok by running first the m_p_b child_init() the worker is initialised by the m_p_b logic and mod_proxy won't change it later.


Yeah... a quick test indicates, at least as far as the perl
framework is considered, changing to that m_p_b runs 1st in child_init
results in normal and expected behavior.... Need to do some more
tracing to see if we can copy the pointer instead of the whole
data set with this ordering.

I have committed the code... It works for my tests.

Beat me to it :)
BTW: I did create a proxy-sandbox from 2.2.x in hopes that a
lot of what we do in trunk we can backport to 2.2.x....

Yep but I think we should first have the reset()/age() stuff working in trunk before backporting to httpd-2.2-proxy :-)


For sure!!

BTW: it seems to me that aging is only really needed when the environment changes,
mostly when a worker comes back, or when the actual limits are changed
in real-time during runtime. Except for these, aging doesn't seem to
really add much... long-term steady state only gets invalid when the
steady-state changes, after all :)
