Description:
------------
Hi everyone,
I post here a patch that adds the ability to php-fpm to globally limit the
global number of php processes.
I made it for personal purpose as I have an "only" 2GB RAM server and several
website running on it.
The problem is the following, when you have several pools :
* Either you choose to have a max_children which is low, you won't go out of
memory, but if there is a peak on a specific website while the other ones are
quiet, this specific website will be slow, because there will be a queue for
the FastCGI requests
* Or you choose to have a max_children which is high and you thus allow peaks
on your websites, but if ever there is a peak on several website at the same
time, chances are that your server will go out of memory.
With this patch, I introduce a new configuration directive :
[global]
max_total_processes = 40
40 will be the total number of php processes authorized to be launched in
memory at the same time.
When trying to fork a new process (only in the case on pm = dynamic (or pm =
ondemand, by the way)) the FPM will look at the current total number of
processes that are launched in memory. This is made easy to integrate because
FPM already has a fpm_globals.running_children variable referencing the total
number of children, all pools summed up. I just had to add a condition, a
variable & the ability to read a new config option. SO this is a really, really
small patch ! But very useful I think.
The current uploaded patch file has been made for the PHP 5.3 SVN Branch
source. Feel free to adapt it to another version of the sources if you want,
you will see that it is just a matter of 4-5 changes in the source code.
Hope it will be useful.
