# -*- encoding: binary -*- # Strongly consider https://github.com/tmm1/gctools if using Ruby 2.1+ # It is built on new APIs in Ruby 2.1, so it is more intelligent than # this historical implementation. # # Users on Ruby 2.0 (not 2.1+) may also want to check out # lib/middleware/unicorn_oobgc.rb from the Discourse project # (https://github.com/discourse/discourse) # # The following information is only for historical versions of Ruby. # # Runs GC after requests, after closing the client socket and # before attempting to accept more connections. # # This shouldn't hurt overall performance as long as the server cluster # is at <50% CPU capacity, and improves the performance of most memory # intensive requests. This serves to improve _client-visible_ # performance (possibly at the cost of overall performance). # # Increasing the number of +worker_processes+ may be necessary to # improve average client response times because some of your workers # will be busy doing GC and unable to service clients. Think of # using more workers with this module as a poor man's concurrent GC. # # We'll call GC after each request is been written out to the socket, so # the client never sees the extra GC hit it. # # This middleware is _only_ effective for applications that use a lot # of memory, and will hurt simpler apps/endpoints that can process # multiple requests before incurring GC. # # This middleware is only designed to work with unicorn, as it harms # performance with keepalive-enabled servers. # # Example (in config.ru): # # require 'unicorn/oob_gc' # # # GC ever two requests that hit /expensive/foo or /more_expensive/foo # # in your app. By default, this will GC once every 5 requests # # for all endpoints in your app # use Unicorn::OobGC, 2, %r{\A/(?:expensive/foo|more_expensive/foo)} # # Feedback from users of early implementations of this module: # * https://bogomips.org/unicorn-public/0BFC98E9-072B-47EE-9A70-05478C20141B@lukemelia.com/ # * https://bogomips.org/unicorn-public/AANLkTilUbgdyDv9W1bi-s_W6kq9sOhWfmuYkKLoKGOLj@mail.gmail.com/ module Unicorn::OobGC # this pretends to be Rack middleware because it used to be # But we need to hook into unicorn internals so we need to close # the socket before clearing the request env. # # +interval+ is the number of requests matching the +path+ regular # expression before invoking GC. def self.new(app, interval = 5, path = %r{\A/}) @@nr = interval self.const_set :OOBGC_PATH, path self.const_set :OOBGC_INTERVAL, interval ObjectSpace.each_object(Unicorn::HttpServer) do |s| s.extend(self) self.const_set :OOBGC_ENV, s.instance_variable_get(:@request).env end app # pretend to be Rack middleware since it was in the past end #:stopdoc: def process_client(client) super(client) # Unicorn::HttpServer#process_client if OOBGC_PATH =~ OOBGC_ENV['PATH_INFO'] && ((@@nr -= 1) <= 0) @@nr = OOBGC_INTERVAL OOBGC_ENV.clear disabled = GC.enable GC.start GC.disable if disabled end end # :startdoc: end
