2020-03-09Refactor of process management.Tiago Natel de Moura1-14/+5
The process abstraction has changed to: setup(task, process) start(task, process_data) prefork(task, process, mp) The prefork() occurs in the main process right before fork. The file src/nxt_main_process.c is completely free of process specific logic. The creation of a process now supports a PROCESS_CREATED state. The The setup() function of each process can set its state to either created or ready. If created, a MSG_PROCESS_CREATED is sent to main process, where external setup can be done (required for rootfs under container). The core processes (discovery, controller and router) doesn't need external setup, then they all proceeds to their start() function straight away. In the case of applications, the load of the module happens at the process setup() time and The module's init() function has changed to be the start() of the process. The module API has changed to: setup(task, process, conf) start(task, data) As a direct benefit of the PROCESS_CREATED message, the clone(2) of processes using pid namespaces now doesn't need to create a pipe to make the child block until parent setup uid/gid mappings nor it needs to receive the child pid.

2018-08-10Stopping all application processes if router process dies.Max Romanov1-1/+1
Unit master process restarts the router if the router accidentally dies. New router process receives the configuration from controller and starts configured applications. The information of running applications cannot be transferred to router because currently there is no persistent application identifier. To avoid orphan application processes started by died router, master process stops all currently running applications once it receives SIGCHLD for router process.
