Fix overriding ExtendedStatus to "off" with mod_systemd loaded, and
give more feedback to systemd during a reload.
* modules/arch/unix/mod_systemd.c (systemd_pre_config): New
function; tell systemd the service is reloading here.
(systemd_pre_mpm): Don't set ap_extended_status here, do nothing
if ExtendedStatus is off.
(register_hooks): Register pre_config hook.
mod_proxy_fcgi: Add the support for mod_proxy's
flushpackets and flushwait params
This change was requested on the development mailing
list in order to fill another gap between mod_fcgi
and mod_proxy_fcgi, namely the -flush funtionality.
The more evolved core trunk code would not need this
feature becuse of the non-blocking writes, but it
is be needed in 2.4.x.
mpm_winnt: Do not redefine the standard CONTAINING_RECORD() macro
in child.c.
This definition has been added in https://svn.apache.org/r88498 — perhaps,
because not every versions of SDK contained it at that time.
But since then, the macro has been available starting from Windows 2000
(https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff542043),
and any available version of Windows SDK now should also contain it.
mpm_winnt: Remove an obsolete comment in child.c explaining why the
declarations of the structures and functions to access the completion
contexts reside in a header file.
This no longer holds, as all the necessary functions and structures are
located in the single .c file (child.c).
mpm_winnt: Tweak the names of the variables in child.c which are used to
represent a queue of the completion contexts.
Starting from r1801655, the "queue" isn't really a queue, as all the
access happens with a LIFO order. So, instead of that, call it a "pool
of completion contexts", adjust names of all relevant variables and
tweak the comments.
This patch changes
- qlock to ctxpool_lock,
- qhead to ctxpool_head, and
- qwait_event to ctxpool_wait_event.
mpm_winnt: Tweak the listener shutdown code to use a separate event
instead of the global variable (shutdown_in_progress).
This change has two purposes. First of all, it makes the listener threads
which are blocked waiting for a completion context exit immediately during
shutdown. Previously, such threads would only check for exit every second.
The second reason for this change is to put the child_main() function in
charge of controlling the listeners life cycle. Previously, such relation
was circumvented by the fact that the listeners were also waiting for the
global child exit_event. With the new separate listener_shutdown_event,
only the child_main() function is responsible for shutting down the
listeners, and I think that this makes the code a bit clearer.
All the original behavior, including the special APLOG_DEBUG diagnostic
message when we fail to acquire a free completion context in 1 second,
is kept unchanged.
mpm_winnt: Advertise support for preshutdown notifications in the service,
and perform shutdown in respond to SERVICE_CONTROL_PRESHUTDOWN.
The pure shutdown notification leaves a small amount of time for the service
to finish (and the allowed amount of time has been shrinking with every new
version of Windows), and handling only it increases the chance of the process
being killed by SCM, instead of gracefully shutting down. Handling the
preshutdown control code extends this period, and increases the chances of
finishing everything properly when the machine is rebooted or shut down.
(See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms683241)
Please note that although the preshutdown notifications are available only
starting from Windows Vista, the code is compatible with the previous versions
of Windows, since the SCM ignores unknown SERVICE_ACCEPT codes, and will
still send an ordinary SERVICE_CONTROL_SHUTDOWN under old Windows
versions.
mpm_winnt: Use a LIFO stack instead of a FIFO queue to hold unused
completion contexts, as that may significantly reduce the memory usage.
This simple change can have a noticeable impact on the amount of memory
consumed by the child process in various cases. Every completion context
in the queue has an associated allocator, and every allocator has it's
ap_max_mem_free memory limit which is not given back to the operating
system. Once the queue grows, it cannot shrink back, and every allocator
in each of the queued completion contexts keeps up to its max_free amount
of memory. The queue can only grow when a server has to serve multiple
concurrent connections at once.
With that in mind, consider a case with a server that doesn't encounter many
concurrent connections most of the time, but has occasional spikes when
it has to serve multiple concurrent connections. During such spikes, the
size of the completion context queue grows.
The actual difference between using LIFO and FIFO orders shows up after
such spikes, when the server is back to light load and doesn't see a lot
of concurrency. With FIFO order, every completion context in the queue
will be used in a round-robin manner, thus using *every* available allocator
one by one and ultimately claiming up to (N * ap_max_mem_free memory) from
the OS. With LIFO order, only the completion contexts that are close to
the top of the stack will be used and reused for subsequent connections.
Hence, only a small part of the allocators will be used, and this can
prevent all other allocators from unnecessarily acquiring memory from
the OS (and keeping it), and this reduces the overall memory footprint.
Please note that this change doesn't affect the worst case behavior, as
it's still (N * ap_max_mem_free memory), but tends to behave better in
practice, for the reasons described above.
Another thing worth considering is the new behavior when the OS decides
to swap out pages of the child process, for example, in a close-to-OOM
condition. Handling every new connection after the swap requires the OS
to load the memory pages for the allocator from the completion context that
is used for this connection. With FIFO order, the completion contexts are
used one by one, and this would cause page loads for every new connection.
With LIFO order, there will be almost no swapping, since the same completion
context is going to be reused for subsequent new connections.
mpm_winnt: Drop the APLOG_DEBUG diagnostic saying how many thread
are blocked on the I/O completion port during the shutdown.
Prior to r1801635, the shutdown code required to know the amount of blocked
threads, as it has been dispatching the same amount of completion packets.
But this no longer holds, and the only reason why we maintain the
corresponding g_blocked_threads variable is because of this debug
diagnostic message.
Drop it in order to reduce complexity of the quite critical code in the
winnt_get_connection() function and to reduce the amount of global
variables.
mpm_winnt: Remove an unnecessary Sleep() in the winnt_accept() function.
This sleep occured in a situation when:
- We don't have a free completion context in the queue
- We can't add one, as doing so would exceed the max_num_completion_contexts
limit (all worker threads are busy)
- We have exceeded a 1 second timeout while waiting for it
In this case, the Sleep() call is unnecessary, as there is no intermittent
failure that can be waited out, but rather than that, it's an ordinary
situation with all workers being busy. Presumably, calling Sleep() here
can be even considered harmful, as it affects the fairness between the
listeners that are blocked waiting for the completion context.
So, instead of calling Sleep() just check for the possible shutdown and
immediately retry acquiring a completion context. If all worker threads
are still busy, the retry will block in the same WaitForSingleObject() call,
which is fine.
mpm_winnt: Simplify the shutdown code that was waiting for multiple worker
thread handles in batches.
Starting from r1801636, there is no difference between ending the wait with
one or multiple remaining threads. This is because we terminate the process
if at least one thread is still active when we hit a timeout.
Therefore, instead of making an effort to evenly distribute and batch the
handles with WaitForMultipleObjects(), we could just start from one end,
and wait for one thread handle at a time.
mpm_winnt: Avoid using TerminateThread() in case the shutdown routine
hits a timeout while waiting for the worker threads to exit.
Using TerminateThread() can have dangerous consequences such as deadlocks —
say, if the the thread is terminated while holding a lock or a heap lock
in the middle of HeapAlloc(), as these locks would not be released.
Or it can corrupt the application state and cause a crash.
(See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms686717)
Rework the code to call TerminateProcess() in the described circumstances
and leave the cleanup to the operating system.
mpm_winnt: Make the shutdown faster by avoiding unnecessary Sleep()'s
when shutting down the worker threads.
Previously, the shutdown code was posting an amount of I/O completion
packets equal to the amount of the threads blocked on the I/O completion
port. Then it would Sleep() until all these threads "acknowledge" the
completion packets by decrementing the global amount of blocked threads.
A better way would be to send the number of IOCP_SHUTDOWN completion
packets equal to the total amount of threads and immediately proceed to
the next step. There is no need to block until the threads actually receive
the completion, as the shutdown process includes a separate step that waits
until the threads exit, and the new approach avoids an unnecessary delay.

mpm_winnt: Refactor the mpm_get_completion_context() function so that it
would return a proper apr_status_t instead of yielding the result via the
*timeout out variable.
This makes the calling side easier to follow by avoiding an additional
layer of if's.
mpm_winnt: Remove an unnecessary retry after receiving a non-timeout failure
from the mpm_get_completion_context() function.
Currently, the only possible reasons why mpm_get_completion_context() could
fail are real errors such as being unable to WaitForSingleObject(), allocate
memory or create an event. Retrying under such circumstances doesn't make
sense, and could be as well considered harmful.
mpm_winnt: Factor out a helper function to parse the type of an accept
filter and use an appropriate enum for it.
This makes the code in winnt_accept() a bit easier to follow. As a minor
side effect, it also fixes a small bug where the "unrecognized AcceptFilter
'%s'" log entry would always contain "none" instead of the actually
unrecognized kind of the accept filter.
Fix another mod_lua compile error.
Compilation now tested against Lus 5.1, 5.2

flags set, but mod_lua no longer sets them

proxy_fcgi: remove FPM-specific logic
Reverts r1780328, r1780329, and their associated followups, which
incorrectly manipulated SCRIPT_NAME by default. All proxy_fcgi.t
regression tests now pass.
Discussion on-list, but any occurance of a platform-specific behavior in this
code path will alter the behavior of the core code and introduce the very
fingerprintable behavior this patch pretended to obscuficate.
Returning 404 for /CON for example may lead to a module such as mod_speling
revealing the existance of a real file named similar to /.conf, which makes
this an unwise behavior.
Further discussion of returning 404 for all CHR files encountered in the
filepath (not URI path), which currently return 403 on all platforms,
belongs on the dev list.
Since r1753257, "HEAD" method is registered into the registry hash with the M_GET ID.
(r1757672 in 2.4.x)
We iterate over all the values of the registery, so there is no need anymore to have a special case for "HEAD" in 'make_allow()'. It has its own entry now.
With the current code, we have "HEAD" 3 times in the Allow Header field.
This is because we find M_GET 2 times in the registry hash. The first one gives "GET" and "HEAD" (as the special handling), and the second "HEAD" and "HEAD" (as the special handling).
BTW, use APR_ARRAY_PUSH instead of hand coding it, in oder to have the code more readable.
