new connections and which ones will not be notified for it.
Fixes the thundering herd problem, and nicely spreads out load between
all the workers equally. A configuration option (workers_max_connections)
is available to tweak how many connections a worker will have before
giving up the accept lock.
Two ways are added to this commit for access locking:
- Locking via semaphores.
- Locking via GCC's builtin atomic methods.
The default is running with semaphores disabled (OpenBSD cannot do
sem_init() with pshared set to 1, which is required).
If you want to use semaphores add KORE_USE_SEMAPHORES to CFLAGS,
and -lpthread to LDFLAGS in the Makefile.
Other fixes:
- BSD: add a timeout to kevent().
- Merge kore_worker_wait together, linux knows waitpid() as well.
- Send the correct SIGQUIT signal to workers instead of SIGINT.
- Fix kore_time_ms().
- Log fatal worker messages in syslog.
- Refactor code even more.
- Do not free our own kore_worker structure.
static / serve_index
static /foo serve_foo
dynamic / serve_other
/ will be matched to serve_index, while /foo will be matched to serve_foo and /bar will be matched to serve_other for example.
