Does mod_perl/mod_??? need a hook called when a request/conn leaves the original worker thread?

For the mod_perl crash with Event that I posted at the URL below, I would
suspect that there's some affinity with the original worker thread.  Can
anyone in mod_perl land confirm?

I'm also aware of a third-party diagnostic module that could use a hint,
and in general I wonder if anyone knows of specific interface requirements
that would need to be provided by a new hook for indicating when a
connection or request leaves the original thread or is handled by a new one.

mod_spdy uses a fake conn_rec, well, more like a sub-conn_rec
ala a subrequest, which is also sometimes called a slave
connection... I'm thinking that maybe having such an entity
here would be best, long term.

Fwd: Does mod_perl/mod_??? need a hook called when a request/conn leaves the original worker thread?

Posted by Jeff Trawick <tr...@gmail.com>.
Here's the current status...

The API isn't cast in stone yet.  I'm only guessing that mod_perl cares
about this issue based on wild assumptions I'm making about the crash I
posted at
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/perl-dev/201311.mbox/%3CCAKUrXK6C3R_F3NdA%2BJUGYOqppvnoQJLTGQ9%2BA916vuMb0g9dig%40mail.gmail.com%3E

If mod_perl doesn't have any sort of connections/request thread affinity
(i.e., is unaffected when a request or connection starts being handled on a
different native thread), that would be great to know too, since that
simplifies the discussion.

Here's a first draft for suspend/resume hooks:

http://people.apache.org/~trawick/suspend_resume_hooks_r1.txt

This maintains r inside the event MPM connection state.

>From a module that tries to log r->the_request when the connection is
suspended or resumed:

[pid 31968:139866574595840] suspend, r 7f3530002970 GET
/ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-i386.iso HTTP/1.1
[pid 31968:139866566203136] resume, r 7f3530002970 GET
/ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-i386.iso HTTP/1.1
[pid 31968:139866566203136] suspend, r 7f3530002970 GET
/ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-i386.iso HTTP/1.1
[pid 31968:139866557810432] resume, r 7f3530002970 GET

[pid 31968:139866549417728] resume, r 7f3530002970 GET
/ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-i386.iso HTTP/1.1
...
[pid 31968:139866725664512] suspend, r 0

(For detecting the end of the request or connection, the module needs to
use a cleanup on the appropriate pool as always.)

Todos (that I know of so far :) ):

1. call the new hooks from places other than process_socket()
2. consider passing a coarse, non-MPM-specific, representation of the state
on the hook calls

Implemented for Event in  r1546759; I'll implement for eventopt before
long; it would be great if Event-savvy folks would take a look ;)

AFAICT, the other place where conn-specific* non-MPM code can run is in
pool cleanups, so resume may have to be called in a "pre-cleanup", if the
conn is currently suspended.

*There are special callbacks handled by event[/eventopt] but they're not
associated with the client connection conn_rec so they are not the target
of the suspend/resume hooks.

I didn't realize that the conn_rec already has a very fine-grained
representation of the state.  This state info is sufficient and, as it is
already part of the API, there's no concern at this point in creating a
coarse representation that is easier for multiple MPMs to maintain without
breaking the API when the MPM implementation changes.

Interesting...  I don't know exactly what "clean ... way" will mean in this
context, but I can look at early-request-hook+request-pool-cleanup
processing to let the MPM track the current r for a connection.

It would be nice if there was a clean and consistent way for c->output_filters to become r->output_filters, and when the request is cleaned up for the c->output_filters to be reverted back to what it was before.

This way content and resource filters could take advantage of write completion in future.

As it turns out (or, why didn't I refresh my understanding before), the MPM
only knows about the conn_rec.

* It could do extra work to learn about the request in order to pass the
request to the new hook.
* It could avoid that extra work for configurations that don't have a
module that implements the hook.

I'm leaning towards not having the MPM bother with any of that.  Such magic
is well within the scope of a module that cares about detaching from the
thread anyway.
