Re: Is Squid can shutdown unused idle redirector's children?

Amos,

I understand the idea of the current implementation. I read the manual no one time. I only want one thing - let the administrator to decide how to adjust his system to him. Not through patches. By means of parameters.

Squid runs on different OS'es, and it is logical to have a flexible mechanism for managing child redirectors processes. This must be mandatory option. The similar to automatically close applications on Android. As I said, changing the redirector is not an option. Development of a crutch to automatically stop the processes is not an option.

I misled the common interpretation of shared processes and management in other software products. But I believe that to be able to automatically close the unnecessary processes and free up resources is correct.

On my OS, I have a very powerful system resource management that allows, in particular, killing idle processes or processes over the limit. But other operating systems do not have advanced resource management. And this is not good solution. How to behave Suid when OS forbade him to start another redirector? Or begin to kill idle processes? Fatal error and fall? I don't know. And do not want to test on production server.

In addition, the operating system with a constant load of RAM in the 90-95% is just on the edge of a swap or a kernel panic. For Solaris this is not care - but it has a very specific kernel. Most of the other OS just goes to swap or initiates OOM.

In my opinion the software that claims to be a universal platform, is bound to have a more flexible mechanism for managing processes. As Oracle, for example. Which is known to work on all platforms without exception.

WBR, Yuri

So simple.

I want to see only one additional parameter.

idle_timeout.

When I specify it to 0 - by default - all started rewriter
processess remains after user requests,

but! it I specify it over 0 in seconds - all idle rewriters after
timeout must dies to achieve idle= value.

Logically, isn't it? This permits me to design, how cache will
works with user's sessions. And, moreover, in other software
products such behavior with shared processes is the default. I.e -
Oracle shared server. Apache WEB server in some configurations. And
others.
Your examples are software which spawns a whole worker process for
each user transaction, executes that one transaction then tears down
the whole worker process.

Apache is a good example, we had some of their devs coming to us a few
years ago asking for explanations about how Squid manages to process
some of the I/O stuff asynchronously as they are/were moving Apache to
something like *our* process model for performance reasons.


Otherwise idle= parameter for children just do not make sense.
SQUID decides for me, it's better for my system. I want to have
better control over rewriter's children and memory consumption.

Did you agree?
Why would anyone agree with someone who does not understand the
current behaviour and repeatedly insults it due to their own lack of
understanding?




You already rejected the ufdbGuard suggestion which offers you better
memory operations, peformance, and Squid integration.


If you know perl I suggest taking the helper-mux tool
(tools/helper-mux/ in the sources) and adjusting it to do the timeout
management. That will gain you three major benefits in one go:
  1) concurrency
  2) smaller virtual memory overheads
  3) the helper fine tuning


Alternatively you can pay for a patch to be written into Squid adding
the automatic closure. I would be happy to take on that contract.
