2009-12-22cleanup in Rainbows.accept definition
2009-12-22fix Ruby 1.8 detection for (possible) green thread fix
Thanks to Ben Sandofsky for the extra set of eyes
2009-12-22new RevFiberSpawn concurrency model
This is like the traditional FiberSpawn, but more scalable (but not necessarily faster) as it can use epoll or kqueue.
2009-12-21possible MRI 1.8 thread fix to avoid blocking accept()
Under MRI 1.8, listen sockets do not appear to have the nonblocking I/O flag on by default, nor does it set the nonblocking I/O flag when calling #accept (but it does when using #accept_nonblock, of course). Normally this is not a problem even when using green threads since MRI will internally select(2) on the file descriptor before attempting a blocking (and immediately successful) accept(2). However, when sharing a listen descriptor across multiple processes, spurious wakeups are likely to occur, causing multiple processes may be woken up when a single client connects. This causes a problem because accept(2)-ing on multiple threads/processes for a single connection causes blocking accepts in multiple processes, leading to stalled green threads. This is not an issue under 1.9 where a blocking accept() call unlocks the GVL to let other threads run.
2009-12-19Thread*: avoid double close of client socket
TeeInput may explicitly close on client disconnects to avoid error messages being written to the socket, likewise with "hack.io" users.
2009-12-19error: (trivial) remove unnecessary whitespace
2009-12-16join_threads method is exclusive to ThreadPool
2009-12-16cleanup: consolidate write_nonblock error handling
2009-12-16fiber/io: split out wait_readable and wait_writable methods
This makes them easier to override in subclasses.
2009-12-16get rid of the magic EvCore.setup
It gets in the way of Rev/EM-based models that won't use EvCore. It doesn't actually do anything useful except making an extra layer of indirection to follow.
2009-12-13share some constants with Unicorn
Make RACK_DEFAULTS == Unicorn::HttpRequest::DEFAULTS and LOCALHOST == Unicorn::HttpRequest::LOCALHOST No point in having a duplicate objects, and it also makes it easier to share runtime constant modifications between servers.
2009-12-13Rainbows! 0.9.0 v0.9.0
This release introduces compatibility with Sunshowers, a library for Web Sockets, see http://rainbows.rubyforge.org/sunshowers for more information. Several small cleanups and fixes. Eric Wong (20): add RevThreadPool to README rev: do not initialize a Rev::Loop in master process rainbows.1: update headers do not log IOError raised during app processing move "async.callback" constant to EvCore larger thread pool default sizes ({Rev,}ThreadPool) ev_core: no need to explicitly close TmpIOs EventMachine: allow usage as a base class NeverBlock: resync with recent our EM-related expansion RevThread*: move warning message to a saner place EventMachineDefer: preliminary (and) broken version TODO: add EM Deferrables RevThread*: remove needless nil assignment README: HTML5 Web Sockets may not be supported, yet... env["hack.io"] for Fiber*, Revactor, Thread* models EventMachineDefer is experimental README: add Sunshowers reference Rakefile: resync with Unicorn doc/comparison: add Web Sockets to comparison README updates
2009-12-13EventMachineDefer is experimental
Not enough time or interest at the moment to get this fully working...
2009-12-11env["hack.io"] for Fiber*, Revactor, Thread* models
This exposes a client IO object directly to the underlying application.
2009-12-09RevThread*: remove needless nil assignment
We no longer explicitly close @input
2009-12-08EventMachineDefer: preliminary (and) broken version
There's a good chunk of tests that fail with this, still. Worse, I haven't been able to figure out what's wrong since it looks like it would involve looking at C++ code...
2009-12-08RevThread*: move warning message to a saner place
Don't expect RevThreadPool to work with Rev <= 0.3.1, either.
2009-12-08NeverBlock: resync with recent our EM-related expansion
The last change to our EventMachine support code broke our (lightly-tested) NeverBlock support badly.
2009-12-06EventMachine: allow usage as a base class
We'll be adding EventMachine-based concurrency models.
2009-12-05ev_core: no need to explicitly close TmpIOs
Just let the GC deal with it
2009-12-05larger thread pool default sizes ({Rev,}ThreadPool)
This matches what EM sets for its built-in thread pool
2009-12-05move "async.callback" constant to EvCore
Rev/Packet-based models may support it in the future
2009-12-04do not log IOError raised during app processing
A client disconnect could possibly trigger IOError on close whereas EOFError does not occur.
2009-12-04rev: do not initialize a Rev::Loop in master process
It may make it harder to switch between concurrency models with SIGHUP this way...
2009-12-02Rainbows! 0.8.0 v0.8.0
This release fixes a memory leak in our existing Revactor concurrency model. A new RevThreadPool concurrency model has been added as well as small cleaups to exit handling in workers.
2009-12-02add RevThreadPool concurrency model
This should be like RevThreadSpawn except with more predictable performance (but higher memory usage under low load).
2009-12-01more consistent code for worker timeout/exits
We now correctly exit!(2) if our master can't kill us.
2009-12-01revactor: avoid unbounded memory growth :x
This model has basically been rewritten to avoid unbounded memory growth (slow without keepalive) due to listeners not properly handling :*_closed messages. Performance is much more stable as a result, too.
2009-11-30ThreadPool: no need to exit!
Just die naturally here if threads don't die on their own.
2009-11-29Rainbows! 0.7.0 v0.7.0
keepalive_timeout (default: 2 seconds) is now supported to disconnect idle connections. Several new concurrency models added include: NeverBlock, FiberSpawn and FiberPool; all of which have only been lightly tested. RevThreadSpawn loses streaming input support to become simpler and faster for the general cases. AppPool middleware is now compatible with all Fiber-based models including Revactor and NeverBlock. A new document gives a summary of all the options we give you: http://rainbows.rubyforge.org/Summary.html If you're using any of the Rev-based concurrency models, the latest iobuffer (0.1.3) gem will improve performance. Also, RevThreadSpawn should become usable under MRI 1.8 with the next release of Rev (0.3.2).
2009-11-29rev/core: don't set IOBuffer.default_node_size
iobuffer 0.1.3 already sets this.
2009-11-29event_machine: small noise reduction cleanup
2009-11-29preliminary NeverBlock support with EventMachine
2009-11-29Allow options to be added to "use"
Eventually we hope to be able to accept arguments like the way Rack handlers do it: use :Foo, :bool1, :bool2, :option => value
2009-11-29refactor threaded models to use blocking accept() if possible
It's a tad faster for non-keepalive connections and should do better on large SMP machines with many workers AND threads. That means the ActorSpawn model in Rubinius is nothing more than ThreadSpawn underneath (for now).
2009-11-29ActorSpawn sets rack.multithreaded :(
I so wish it used Fibers/green-threads underneath instead.
2009-11-28always set FD_CLOEXEC if available
Some people fork processes, so it avoid hanging a connection open because of that...
2009-11-28common Rainbows.accept method
2009-11-28rev/core: fix stupid syntax error :<
Broken in 145185b76dafebe5574e6a3eefd3276555c72016
2009-11-28actor_spawn: basically ThreadSpawn with Actors for now...
Rubinius Actor specs seem a bit lacking at the moment. If we find time, we'll fix them, otherwise we'll let somebody else do it.
2009-11-27preliminary ActorSpawn model for Rubinius
It seems to basically work, this is based heavily on the Revactor one...
2009-11-27thread_spawn: fix up stupidly complicated loop
Not sure what drugs the person that wrote it was on at the time.
2009-11-27rev/core: set IO::Buffer.default_node_size if possible
It can noticeably improve performance if available. ref: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/rev-talk/2009-November/000116.html
2009-11-27rev_thread_spawn: more 1.8 notes
2009-11-26RevThreadSpawn: hope for 1.8 performance
Patches submitted to rev-talk, awaiting feedback and hopefully a new release.
2009-11-26Fiber::Queue documentation
While we're at it, ensure our encoding is sane
2009-11-26split Fiber::Base into its own file
While Revactor uses Fiber::Queue in AppPool, we don't want/need to expose the rest of our Fiber stuff to it since it can lead to lost Fibers if misused. This includes the Rainbows::Fiber.sleep method which only works inside Fiber{Spawn,Pool} models and the Rainbows::Fiber::IO wrapper class.
2009-11-26cleanup and refactor error handling
Make sure app errors get logged correctly, and we no longer return a 500 response when a client EOFs the write end (but not the read end) of a connection.
2009-11-26Fiber*: cleanup scheduling, fix keepalive
Both FiberSpawn and FiberPool share similar main loops, the only difference being the handling of connection acceptance. So move the scheduler into it's own function for consistency. We'll also correctly implement keepalive timeout so clients get disconnected at the right time.
2009-11-25AppPool middleware now compatible with Fibers
This enables the safe use of Rainbows::AppPool with all concurrency models, not just threaded ones. AppPool is now effective with *all* Fiber-based concurrency models including Revactor (and of course the new Fiber{Pool,Spawn} ones).
