I also see:
/* kill off the idle ones */
- ap_mpm_pod_killpg(pod, retained->max_daemons_limit);
+ for (i = 0; i < num_buckets; i++) {
+ ap_mpm_pod_killpg(pod[i], i, retained->max_daemons_limit);
+ }
Is that right? Why isn't it: ap_mpm_pod_killpg(pod,
retained->max_daemons_limit, i); ??
/**
* Write data to the pipe-of-death, signalling that all child process
* should die.
* @param pod The pipe-of-death to write to.
* @param num The number of child processes to kill
+ * @param my_bucket the bucket that holds the dying child process.
*/
-AP_DECLARE(void) ap_mpm_pod_killpg(ap_pod_t *pod, int num);
+AP_DECLARE(void) ap_mpm_pod_killpg(ap_pod_t *pod, int num, int child_bucket);
Isn't 'num' the same in both implementation??
