To avoid closing the body fd prematurely, the fd value is moved from
the request struct to the app link. The body fd should not be closed
immediately after the request is sent to the application due to possible
request rescheduling.
Router built with debug may stop with assertion during stalled requests
re-schedule. This was caused by missing reference counting increment
before nxt_router_port_select() call.
Uninitialized ctx_impl field may cause crash in application process.
To reproduce the issue, need to trigger shared memory buffer send error on
application side. In our case, send error caused by router process crash.
This issue was introduced in 2c7f79bf0a1f.
Re-scheduled req_app_link structures should have use_count exactly equal
to the number of references from the application and port list. However,
there's one extra usage decrement that occurs after the req_app_link is
created because the use_count is initialised as 1.
This patch removes all excess instances of the usage decrement that caused
preliminary req_app_link release and router process crash.
To reproduce the issue need to cause request rescheduling between 2 app
processes.
This issue was introduced in 61e9f23a566d.
Each request processed in a separate goroutine. In case of OOSM state,
during response write, request goroutine blocks on channel which waits
event from main thread about SHM_ACK message from router.
ServerResponse.write() method tries to write data buffer using libunit
and stores buffers to write in a Server-wide output queue, which is
processed in response to SHM_ACK message from router.
As a side effect 'drain' event implemented and socket.writable flag
reflect current state.
- OOSM (out of shared memory). Sent by application process to router
when application reaches the limit of allocated shared memory and
needs more.
- SHM_ACK. Sent by router to application when the application's shared
memory is released and the OOSM flag is enabled for the segment.
This implements blocking mode (the library waits for SHM_ACK in case of
out of shared memory condition and retries allocating the required memory
amount) and non-blocking mode (the library notifies the application that
it's out of shared memory and returns control to the application module
that sets up the output queue and puts SHM_ACK in the main message loop).
Current shared memory buffer implementation uses fixed-size memory blocks,
allocating at least 16384 bytes. When application sends data in a large
number of small chunks, it makes sense to buffer them or use plain
memory buffers to improve performance and reduce memory footprint.
This patch introduces minimum size limit (1024 bytes) for shared
memory buffers.
To support Go modules, the unit-go module should be platform independent.
All platform-dependent logic is moved to libunit, so the unit-dev package
should be installed before building unit-go.
Temporary file name with configure process PID used to download
JAR from external repository. Then file renamed using command 'mv'.
The issue reproduced in clean environment when 2 or more concurrent builds
started.
The reason for the change is that the req_app_link reference count
was incorrect if the application crashed at start; in this case,
the nxt_request_app_link_update_peer() function was never called.
This closes#332 issue on GitHub.
There was a change (ruby/ruby@6c70fed) in Ruby 2.6 that moved
RUBY_DESCRIPTION global constant definition out of Init_version().
Unit initialized Ruby incorrectly, so the constant was not defined.
This closes#330 issue on GitHub.
Name and value in each header are 0-terminated, so additional 2 bytes
should be allocated for them. There were several attempts to add these
2 bytes to headers in language modules, but some modules weren't updated.
Also, adding these 2 bytes is specific to the implementation which may be
changed later, so extending this mechanics to modules may cause errors.
Python 3.8 has 'tp_print' field in PyTypeObject struct. This field is
attributed as deprecated. So, clang generates warning (which is turned to
error) as a result of initializing this field. From the other hand, it is
impossible to omit this field in positional initialization. The solution
is to use designated initializer.
Silencing usage message during configure python.
This is related to #331 issue on GitHub.
There was a typo: nxt_queue_head() used instead of nxt_queue_first() in
connection iteration loop. This prevents idle connection close on quit.
This closes#334 issue on GitHub.

Currently almost all Unit object files depends on generated nxt_version.h.
This patch adds missing dependence and fixes running make with multiple
jobs.
This closes#318 issue on GitHub.
Header names and values are stored 0-terminated for ease of use in different
languages, so magic number 2 should be added to each name-value pair size.
When Unit starts, the main process waits for module discovery message for a
while. If a QUIT signal arrives at this time, the router and controller
processes created by main and Unit stay running. Also, the main process
doesn't stop them after the second QUIT signal is received in this case.
Each request references the router process structure that owns all memory
maps. The process structure has a reference counter; each request increases
the counter to lock the structure in memory until request processing ends.
Incoming and outgoing buffers reference memory maps that the process owns,
so the process structure should be released only when all buffers are
released to avoid invalid memory access and a crash.
This describes the libunit library mechanism used for application processes.
The background of this issue is as follows:
The issue was found on buildbot when the router crashed during Java
websocket tests. The Java application receives a notification from the
master process; when the notification is processed, libunit deletes the
process structure from its process hash and decrements the use counter;
however, active websocket connections maintain their use counts on the
process structure. After that, when the master process is stopping the
application, libunit releases active websocket connections. At this point,
it's important to release the connections' memory buffers before the
corresponding process structure and all shared memory segments are released.
To pass Go object references to C and back we use hack with casting to
unsafe and then to uintptr. However, we should not store such references
because Go not guaratnee it will be available by the same address.
Introducing map with integer key helps to avoid dereference stored address.
This closes#253 and #309 issues on GitHub.
By design, Unit context is created for the thread which reads messages from
the router. However, Go request handlers are called in a separate goroutine
that may be executed in a different thread. To avoid a racing condition,
access to lists of free structures in the context should be serialized. This
patch should fix random crashes in Go applications under high load.
This is related to #253 and #309 issues on GitHub.
The "nxt_http_websocket" request state, defined in "nxt_http_websocket.c",
is used in "nxt_router.c" and must be linked with external symbol declared
in "nxt_router.c".
Due to the missing "extern" keyword, building Unit with some linkers
(notably gold and LLD) caused WebSocket connections to get stuck or even
crash the router process.
All allocated blocks for lvlhash required to be aligned because lower
address bits used for various extra information. Using unaligned blocks
may cause invalid memory aceess.
This was issue found on buildbot running large configuration tests.
Master port stores two file descriptors and works as a read port on the master
process side. After a fork, the port switches into write mode and the read
socket closes, but the same event structure is used for the write socket.
However, the inherited structure remained in read state, telling the epoll
engine to use MOD operation instead of ADD. The patch resets read event
state, so the engine may write using proper ADD operation.
This is required to assemble fragmented messages correctly. Stream
identifier is unique only for messages generated within a process, but
the (stream, pid) pair should be enough to avoid collisions. Adding
reply_port seems redundant because it's enough to add stream to a pid.
This closes#199 issue on GitHub.
