https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50247

           Summary: httpd hangs on poll(...) and read(...)
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.2.6
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: All
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: alex-escalona@northwestern.edu


We are seeing sporadic instances of what appears to be a bug in httpd. The
symptoms are that httpd hangs on polling and reading. Here's some pertinent
lines from an strace log (I've separated the "hanging" sections with a space at
both ends):

  51988 31737 write(8, "some.ip.address - - [09/Nov/2010:17:47:10 -0600] \"GET

We are using php. I will have to wait until the next time this occurs--it
appears to be sporadic, with a frequency of about once a week, roughly. Haven't
been able to tie to any specific event or action conclusively.

Hi there,

Although I don't know anything about Alex's bug, we experience something that
looks like a bug that might be very similar so I thought to add more info here
rather than opening a new one.

The httpd in question is 2.2.16 running on EC2.

We see that after a while (10 minutes) of a significant load, some of the
worker processes get hang on poll().

This is the stacktrace from one of the processes that are in this state:

#0  0x00007f76fa70c748 in poll () from /lib64/libc.so.6
#1  0x00007f76fabe2822 in apr_wait_for_io_or_timeout () from
/usr/lib64/libapr-1.so.0
#2  0x00007f76fabdd2da in apr_socket_recv () from /usr/lib64/libapr-1.so.0
#3  0x00007f76fc0dfddd in ap_lingering_close ()
#4  0x00007f76fc0eaa7e in ?? ()
#5  0x00007f76fc0ead1a in ?? ()
#6  0x00007f76fc0eadd0 in ?? ()
#7  0x00007f76fc0eb908 in ap_mpm_run ()
#8  0x00007f76fc0c54fb in main ()

Please let me know if there's any more information I can provide - this problem
is obviously a major concern to us.

Thanks,
Tal

Having threads spend time in poll() and read() is expected, reopen if you can
illustrate something more nefarious

If a thread stays in that backtraces for more than a few seconds, open a
separate bug.

Please try to get a stacktrace of the hanging thread
(http://httpd.apache.org/dev/debugging.html). From the strace it looks like you
are using some 3rd party "app" module like php in your httpd. What are you
using?
