segmentation fault in worker.c
Hi, I compiled httpd-2.2.11 with "./configure --with-included-apr --enable-ssl --disable-cgi --disable-cgid --with-mpm=prefork --enable-status". HTTP requests seem to be processed fine from a users point of view, but I get many segfaults in my apache log when I seriously increase the workload. Here a trace from gdb: Core was generated by `/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -k start'. Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

need some help from an awk wizard ...
All, I'm now trying for hours to get 4 symbols of mod_watchdog into an export list :( these 4 symbols are: ap_hook_watchdog_exit, ap_hook_watchdog_init, ap_hook_watchdog_need, ap_hook_watchdog_step. The problem seems to be that in the pre-preocessed file the function macro expands to one line with a typedef before; see here (scroll down to the end to find these 4 long lines): http://people.apache.org/~fuankg/awk_test/nw_export.i everything needed is in this dir, including the original awk version (source and win32 binary) I have to use (since it has to run on Win32 finally): http://people.apache.org/~fuankg/awk_test/ I thought it should be simple to cut off everything before and including the semicolon, but seems I'm too stupid, and cant get it to work ... thanks in advance for any help with this!

Otherwise, we can get stuck and one of our precious resources is tied up for a long time. Is there anything stopping us from having not just fds in listen in that apr_pollset_poll() of prefork.c, but also a bunch of already accepted fds that are waiting for more data to come in? I'm guessing we'd have to use ap_process_http_async_connection() and have multiple ptrans pools, but that should not be all that hard to do. So, the loop would be: - poll() - try assembling a full request from data read so far - process if successful - go back to poll() if not Too naive? -- Bojan

I see no reason for multiple threads working on the same request at the same time (at least handler wise). On the other side it may be interesting to develop async handlers that wait for external events like a post body or a database response and that might want to free the thread until this event happens. The same may be interesting for filters. So it should be possible for a request to move over to a different thread, but not more than one thread should be working on the same request at the same time. Regards Rüdiger

And we'd want to run multiple async threads (or processes). One of the issues with lighttpd with multiple processes (to use multiple cores, etc) is that lots of stuff is broken (ie, log files interleave). We just need to be aware of the issues that other servers have uncovered in this area. -- Brian Akins

The trouble with this is that all you need to do to wedge one of the worker threads is to promise to send two bytes as a request body, and then send one (or zero), then hang. Ideally any async implementation should be 100% async end to end. I don't believe that its necessary though for a single request to be handled by more than one thread.

Right, but I think the 'waiting for X' while processing is a very important case, it can get you to a fully async reverse proxy, which opens up lots of possibilities.
Re: Events, Destruction and Locking
This is how I envisioned the async stuff working. -Async event thread is used only for input/output of httpd to/from network* -After we read the headers, we pass the request/connection to the worker threads. Each request is "sticky" to a thread. Request stuff may block, etc, so this thread pool size is configurable and in mod_status, etc. -any "writes" out of the request to the clientare passed into the async thread. This may be wrapped in filters, whatever. *We may allow there to be multiple ones of these, ie one for proxies, or have a very well defined way to add watches to this. This is a very simplistic view.

But as you've pointed out, it makes our heads bleed, and locks slow us down. At the lowest level, the event loop should be completely async, and be capable of supporting an arbitrary (probably very high) number of concurrent connections. If one connection slows or stops (deliberately or otherwise), it won't block any other connections on the same event loop, which will continue as normal. The only requirement is that each request accurately registers event deregistration functions in their cleanups, so that the request is cleanly deregistered and future events canceled on apr_pool_destroy(). The event loop can also choose to proactively kill too-slow connections if certain memory or concurrent connection threshholds are reached.

It breaks the 1:1: connection mapping to thread (or process) model which is critical to low memory footprint, with thousands of connections, maybe I'm just insane, but all of the servers taking market share, like lighttpd, nginx, etc, all use this model. It also prevents all variations of the slowaris stupidity, because its damn hard to overwhelm the actual connection processing if its all async, and doesn't block a worker.

As is httpd prefork :) I think the key target for the event model is for low-complexity scenarios like shipping raw files, or being a cache, or a reverse proxy. If we have three separate levels, a process, containing threads, containing an event loop, we could allow the behaviour of prefork (many processes, one thread, one-request-per-event-loop-at-a-time), or the bahaviour of worker (one or many processes, many threads, one-request-per-event-loop-at-a-time), or an event model (one or many processes, one or many threads, many-requests-per-event-loop-at-one-time) at the same time. I am not sure that splitting request handling across threads (in your example, connection close handled by event on thread A, timeout handled by event on thread B) buys us anything (apart from the complexity you described).

As you've said, locks create many problems, the most fatal of which is that locks potentially block the event loop. Ideally if a try_lock fails, the event should reschedule itself to try again at some point in the near future, but that relies on people bothering to write this logic, and I suspect many won't. A pragmatic approach might be to handle a request completely within a single event loop running in a single thread. In this case the timer event for IO timeout is in the same thread as the socket close event. At this point you just need to make sure that your pool cleanups are handled correctly. So if a timeout runs, all the timeout does is apr_destroy_pool(r->pool), and that's it. It is up to the pool cleanup to make sure that all events (such as the event that calls connection close) are cleanly deregistered so that they won't get called in future. We may offer a mechanism (such as a watchdog) that allows a request to kick off code in another thread, but a prerequisite for that is that the pool cleanup will have to be created to make sure that other thread is terminated cleanly, or the request is cleanly removed from that other thread's event loop. > I think it is possible to write a complete server that deals with all > these intricacies and gets everything just 'right', but as soon as you > introduce 3rd party module writers, no matter how 'smart' we are, our > castle of event goodness will crumble. You've hit the nail on the head as to why the prefork and worker models are still relevant - they are very forgiving of "irresponsible behaviour" by modules.

Two queues (worker_queue1 and worker_queue2) of sockets where threads (workers) "get" all requests from worker_queue1 first, after"get" all requests from worker_queue2. Now we are talking! You should explain that initially ;) That is what I wanted to do. I suppose each 'queue' would bind to a different listener, otherwise this is a sort of throttling. Since worker connection model is protocol independent and if you wish a url/host based scheduling you cannot do that inside worker since http protocol is handled after the worker handles the connection. The only possible solution for a connection scheduling would be scheduling a different connection pools (eg. events on different listening socket) Regards -- ^(TM)

By what criteria would requests get delegated to each queue? In other words, what is the high level outcome you are trying to achieve.

Re: Where Do I Create Queues in MPM Worker
Hi, Sorry, I didn't know that was in wrong forum. What's the best list to write this doubt ?? I want to modify MPM Worker (worker.c) to develop some scheduling algorithms. A first scheduling algorithm would be implement priority. Two queues (worker_queue1 and worker_queue2) of sockets where threads (workers) "get" all requests from worker_queue1 first, after"get" all requests from worker_queue2. That is what I wanted to do.

Re: Events, Destruction and Locking
Paul Querna wrote: This deals with removing an event from the pollset, but what about an event that had already fired, as I gave in the original example of a timeout event firing the same time a socket close event happened? In that case I suppose the only solution is to make the operations atomic. Since both operations would lead to the same result (closing a connection) I suppose an atomic state flag should be enough. In that state you have two threads both in a 'run state' for a connection, and I'm not sure how the pre-cleanup to pools solves this in any way? It won't because the cleanup pool API doesn't bother with cleanup callback return values, so there's no way to bail out from the pool cleanup call. I suppose we could modify the pre-cleanup to handle the retval from callback and breaks the entire pool cleanup if one of them returns something other then APR_SUCCESS. Then the callback function can decide weather there is a pending close operation or not. Regards -- ^(TM)
