2022-10-14Added missing error checking in the C API.Alex Colomar1-10/+28
pthread_mutex_init(3) may fail for several reasons, and failing to check will cause Undefined Behavior when those errors happen. Add missing checks, and correctly deinitialize previously created stuff before exiting from the API.

2022-09-10Fixed a mutex leak in the C API.Alex Colomar1-12/+8
In nxt_unit_create() we could leak a mutex created in nxt_unit_ctx_init(). This could happen if nxt_unit_ctx_init() succeeded but later on we bailed out of nxt_unit_create(), we would destroy the mutex created in nxt_unit_create() but not the one created in nxt_unit_ctx_init(). Reorder things so that we do the call to nxt_unit_create() after all the other checks so if it fails we don't leak the mutex it created.

2022-06-22Unit: removed a useless assignment.Andrew Clayton1-1/+0
As was pointed out by the cppcheck[0] static code analysis utility there was a useless assignment in nxt_unit_request_read(). The size parameter is passed in by value and was being modified without being used again. [0]: https://cppcheck.sourceforge.io/
2022-06-22Unit: avoided needlessly setting lib in nxt_unit_shm_open().Andrew Clayton1-3/+2
As was pointed out by the cppcheck[0] static code analysis utility, lib was being set in nxt_unit_shm_open() regardless of platform when in fact it's only used when (NXT_HAVE_MEMFD_CREATE || NXT_HAVE_SHM_OPEN). Move the variable declaration & definition to be within the #if (NXT_HAVE_MEMFD_CREATE || NXT_HAVE_SHM_OPEN) block. [0]: https://cppcheck.sourceforge.io/
2022-06-22Constified numerous function parameters.Andrew Clayton1-2/+3
As was pointed out by the cppcheck[0] static code analysis utility we can mark numerous function parameters as 'const'. This acts as a hint to the compiler about our intentions and the compiler will tell us when we deviate from them. [0]: https://cppcheck.sourceforge.io/
2022-06-07Removing unused tracking fields and functions.Max Romanov1-7/+0
The message tracking is unused since 1d84b9e4b459 commit. This fixes the issue found by Coverity (CID 376263).

2021-12-01Fixing uninitialized structure field.Max Romanov1-0/+1
Port's "data" field may be used by application and thus need to be set to NULL. The issue was introduced in the f8a0992944df commit. Found by Coverity (CID 374352).
2021-11-24Sending shared port to application prototype.Max Romanov1-36/+43
Application process started with shared port (and queue) already configured. But still waits for PORT_ACK message from router to start request processing (so-called "ready state"). Waiting for router confirmation is necessary. Otherwise, the application may produce response and send it to router before the router have the information about the application process. This is a subject of further optimizations.
2021-11-23Fixed possible access to an uninitialized field.Valentin Bartenev1-3/+3
The "recv_msg.incoming_buf" is checked after jumping to the "done" label if nxt_socket_msg_oob_get_fds() returns an error. Also moved initialization of "port_msg" near to its first usage. Found by Coverity (CID 373899).

Introducting application graceful stop. For now only used when application process reach request limit value. This closes #585 issue on GitHub.
2021-03-02Fixing warnings on Solaris.Max Romanov1-1/+1
pthread_t on Solaris is an integer type with size not equal to pointer size. To avoid warnings, type casts to and from pointer needs to be done via uintptr_t type. This change originally proposed by Juraj Lutter <juraj@lutter.sk>.
2020-12-29Libunit: processing single port message.Max Romanov1-13/+0
This partially reverts the optimisation introduced in 1d84b9e4b459 to avoid an unpredictable block in nxt_unit_process_port_msg(). Under high load, this function may never return control to its caller, and the external event loop (in Node.js and Python asyncio) won't be able to process other scheduled events. To reproduce the issue, two request processing types are needed: 'fast' and 'furious'. The 'fast' one simply returns a small response, while the 'furious' schedules asynchronous calls to external resources. Thus, if Unit is subjected to a large amount of 'fast' requests, the 'furious' request processing freezes until the high load ends. The issue was found by Wu Jian Ping (@wujjpp) during Node.js stream implementation discussion and relates to PR #502 on GitHub.
2020-12-18Libunit: fixed shared memory waiting.Max Romanov1-1/+4
The nxt_unit_ctx_port_recv() function may return the NXT_UNIT_AGAIN code, in which case an attempt to reread the message should be made. The issue was reproduced in load testing with response sizes 16k and up. In the rare case of a NXT_UNIT_AGAIN result, a buffer of size -1 was processed, which triggered a 'message too small' alert; after that, the app process was terminated.
2020-12-18Limiting app queue notifications count in socket.Max Romanov1-1/+6
Under high load, a queue synchonization issue may occur, starting from the steady state when an app queue message is dequeued immediately after it has been enqueued. In this state, the router always puts the first message in the queue and is forced to notify the app about a new message in an empty queue using a socket pair. On the other hand, the application dequeues and processes the message without reading the notification from the socket, so the socket buffer overflows with notifications. The issue was reproduced during Unit load tests. After a socket buffer overflow, the router is unable to notify the app about a new first message. When another message is enqueued, a notification is not required, so the queue grows without being read by the app. As a result, request processing stops. This patch changes the notification algorithm by counting the notifications in the pipe instead of getting the number of messages in the queue.

2020-11-19Libunit: fixing read buffer leakage.Max Romanov1-0/+1

2020-11-18Libunit: fixing racing condition in request struct recycling.Max Romanov1-2/+2
The issue occurred under highly concurrent request load in Go applications. Such applications are multi-threaded but use a single libunit context; any thread-safe code in the libunit context is only required for Go applications. As a result of improper request state reset, the recycled request structure was recovered in the released state, so further operations with this request resulted in 'response already sent' warnings. However, the actual response was never delivered to the router and the client.
2020-11-18Libunit: fixing racing condition for port add / state change.Max Romanov1-39/+87
The issue only occurred in Go applications because "port_send" is overloaded only in Go. To reproduce it, send multiple concurrent requests to the application after it has initialised. The warning message "[unit] [go] port NNN:dd not found" is the first visible aspect of the issue; the second and more valuable one is a closed connection, an error response, or a hanging response to some requests. When the application starts, it is unaware of the router's worker thread ports, so it requests the ports from the router after receiving requests from the corresponding router worker threads. When multiple requests are processed simultaneously, the router port may be required by several requests, so request processing starts only after the application receives the required port information. The port should be added to the Go port repository after its 'ready' flag is updated. Otherwise, Unit may start processing some requests and use the port before it is in the repository. The issue was introduced in changeset 78836321a126.
2020-11-18Libunit: improving logging consistency.Max Romanov1-0/+4
Debug logging depends on macros defined in nxt_auto_config.h.
2020-11-10Fixing multi-buffer body send to application.Max Romanov1-3/+7
Application shared queue only capable to pass one shared memory buffer. The rest buffers in chain needs to be send directly to application in response to REQ_HEADERS_AC message. The issue can be reproduced for configurations where 'body_buffer_size' is greater than memory segment size (10 Mb). Requests with body size greater than 10 Mb are just `stuck` e.g. not passed to application awaiting for more data from router. The bug was introduced in 1d84b9e4b459 (v1.19.0).

2020-10-28Libunit: waking another context with the RPC_READY message.Max Romanov1-1/+37
2020-10-28Router: introducing the PORT_ACK message.Max Romanov1-5/+32
The PORT_ACK message is the router's response to the application's NEW_PORT message. After receiving PORT_ACK, the application is safe to process requests using this port. This message avoids a racing condition when the application starts processing a request from the shared queue and sends REQ_HEADERS_ACK. The REQ_HEADERS_ACK message contains the application port ID as reply_port, which the router uses to send request data. When the application creates a new port, it immediately sends it to the main router thread. Because the request is processed outside the main thread, a racing condition can occur between the receipt of the new port in the main thread and the receipt of REQ_HEADERS_ACK in the worker router thread where the same port is specified as reply_port.

2020-10-28Libunit: protecting the new mmap from being used in another thread.Max Romanov1-1/+6
Until the mmap is received by the router, only the creator thread may use this mmap, so the "mmap not found" state in the router is avoided.
2020-10-06Removing a meaningless warning message.Max Romanov1-4/+0
Data in the queue and the socket are transmitted independently; special READ_QUEUE and READ_SOCKET message types are used for synchronization. The warning was accidentally committed with changeset 1d84b9e4b459.
2020-10-01Publishing libunit's malloc() and free() wrappers for apps.Max Romanov1-49/+53
2020-09-30Fixing leakage caused by incorrect in_hash flag cleanup.Max Romanov1-1/+3
Large-bodied requests are added to the request hash to be found when the body arrives. However, changeset 1d84b9e4b459 introduced a bug: the 'in_hash' flag, used to remove the request from the hash at request release, was cleared after the first successful request lookup. As a result, the entry was never removed.
2020-09-29Wrapping libunit's malloc() and free() calls for logging purposes.Max Romanov1-51/+82
This change aids heap usage analysis in applications. The alloc and free functions are also required for lvlhash due to the upcoming threading support, because using main nxt_memalign() and nxt_free() isn't safe in a multithreaded app environment. The reason is that these functions may use thread-local structures which aren't initialized properly in applications.

2020-08-11Moving file descriptor blocking to libunit.Max Romanov1-11/+39
The default libunit behavior relies on blocking the recv() call for port file descriptors, which an application may override if needed. For external applications, port file descriptors were toggled to blocking mode before the exec() call. If the exec() call failed, descriptor remained blocked, so the process hanged while trying to read from it. This patch moves file descriptor mode switch inside libunit.

2020-08-11Process structures refactoring in runtime and libunit.Max Romanov1-203/+93
Generic process-to-process shared memory exchange is no more required. Here, it is transformed into a router-to-application pattern. The outgoing shared memory segments collection is now the property of the application structure. The applications connect to the router only, and the process only needs to group the ports.
2020-08-11Introducing the shared application port.Max Romanov1-106/+361
This is the port shared between all application processes which use it to pass requests for processing. Using it significantly simplifies the request processing code in the router. The drawback is 2 more file descriptors per each configured application and more complex libunit message wait/read code.
2020-08-11Changing router to application shared memory exchange protocol.Max Romanov1-108/+269
The application process needs to request the shared memory segment from the router instead of the latter pushing the segment before sending a request to the application. This is required to simplify the communication between the router and the application and to prepare the router for using the application shared port and then the queue.
