svn commit: r409715 - in /httpd/httpd/trunk: CHANGES server/mpm/worker/worker.c

[ch...@apache.org]

Author: chrisd
Date: Fri May 26 11:27:23 2006
New Revision: 409715

URL: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=409715&view=rev
Log:
On graceless shutdown or restart, send AP_SIG_GRACEFUL to all worker
threads so that any that are polling on Keep-Alive connections will
wake up and exit promptly.  Otherwise, on Linux, they wait until
poll()'s timeout interval completes, which is often too long for
the parent process; the parent issues SIGKILL before the child's main
thread manages to re-join all the worker threads.  PR 38737.

On Solaris, by contrast, the close_worker_sockets() function
successfully alerts all worker threads that they should exit quickly.
On Linux, this side-effect of one thread closing another's socket
doesn't occur; see:

http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=546

Also, expand on the placeholder in CHANGES regarding previous
cleanups to scoreboard.c and scoreboard.h in r404848 and r404849.
