<h3>Summary</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>The <code class="module"><a href="../mod/event.html">event</a></code> Multi-Processing Module (MPM) is
|
||
designed to allow more requests to be served simultaneously by
|
||
passing off some processing work to supporting threads, freeing up
|
||
the main threads to work on new requests. It is based on the
|
||
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/worker.html">worker</a></code> MPM, which implements a hybrid
|
||
multi-process multi-threaded server. Run-time configuration
|
||
directives are identical to those provided by
|
||
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/worker.html">worker</a></code>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>To use the <code class="module"><a href="../mod/event.html">event</a></code> MPM, add
|
||
<code>--with-mpm=event</code> to the <code class="program"><a href="../programs/configure.html">configure</a></code>
|
||
script's arguments when building the <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code>.</p>

<h2><a name="how-it-works" id="how-it-works">How it Works</a></h2>
|
||
<p>This MPM tries to fix the 'keep alive problem' in HTTP. After a client
|
||
completes the first request, the client can keep the connection
|
||
open, and send further requests using the same socket. This can
|
||
save significant overhead in creating TCP connections. However,
|
||
Apache HTTP Server traditionally keeps an entire child process/thread waiting
|
||
for data from the client, which brings its own disadvantages. To
|
||
solve this problem, this MPM uses a dedicated thread to handle both
|
||
the Listening sockets, all sockets that are in a Keep Alive state,
|
||
and sockets where the handler and protocol filters have done their work
|
||
and the only remaining thing to do is send the data to the client. The
|
||
status page of <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_status.html">mod_status</a></code> shows how many connections are
|
||
in the mentioned states.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The improved connection handling does not yet work for certain
|
||
connection filters, in particular SSL. For SSL connections, this MPM will
|
||
fall back to the behaviour of the <code class="module"><a href="../mod/worker.html">worker</a></code> MPM and
|
||
reserve one worker thread per connection.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The MPM assumes that the underlying <code>apr_pollset</code>
|
||
implementation is reasonably threadsafe. This enables the MPM to
|
||
avoid excessive high level locking, or having to wake up the listener
|
||
thread in order to send it a keep-alive socket. This is currently
|
||
only compatible with KQueue and EPoll.</p>
|
||
|
||

|
||
<div class="section">
|
||
<h2><a name="requirements" id="requirements">Requirements</a></h2>
|
||
<p>This MPM depends on <a class="glossarylink" href="../glossary.html#apr" title="see glossary">APR</a>'s atomic
|
||
compare-and-swap operations for thread synchronization. If you are
|
||
compiling for an x86 target and you don't need to support 386s, or
|
||
you are compiling for a SPARC and you don't need to run on
|
||
pre-UltraSPARC chips, add
|
||
<code>--enable-nonportable-atomics=yes</code> to the
|
||
<code class="program"><a href="../programs/configure.html">configure</a></code> script's arguments. This will cause
|
||
APR to implement atomic operations using efficient opcodes not
|
||
available in older CPUs.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>This MPM does not perform well on older platforms which lack good
|
||
threading, but the requirement for EPoll or KQueue makes this
|
||
moot.</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
|
||
<li>To use this MPM on FreeBSD, FreeBSD 5.3 or higher is recommended.
|
||
However, it is possible to run this MPM on FreeBSD 5.2.1, if you
|
||
use <code>libkse</code> (see <code>man libmap.conf</code>).</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>For NetBSD, at least version 2.0 is recommended.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>For Linux, a 2.6 kernel is recommended. It is also necessary to
|
||
ensure that your version of <code>glibc</code> has been compiled
|
||
with support for EPoll.</li>

|
||
<p>The event MPM handles some connections in an asynchronous way, where
|
||
request worker threads are only allocated for short periods of time as
|
||
needed, and other (mostly SSL) connections with one request worker thread
|
||
reserved per connection. This can lead to situations where all workers are
|
||
tied up and no worker thread is available to handle new work on established
|
||
async connections.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>To mitigate this problem, the event MPM does two things: Firstly, it
|
||
limits the number of connections accepted per process, depending on the
|
||
number of idle request workers. Secondly, if all workers are busy, it will
|
||
close connections in keep-alive state even if the keep-alive timeout has
|
||
not expired. This allows the respective clients to reconnect to a
|
||
different process which may still have worker threads available.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>This directive can be used to fine-tune the per-process connection
|
||
limit. A process will only accept new connections if the current number of
|
||
connections is lower than:</p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="indent"><strong>
|
||
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#threadsperchild">ThreadsPerChild</a></code> +
|
||
(<code class="directive">AsyncRequestWorkerFactor</code> *
|
||
<var>number of idle workers</var>)
|
||
</strong></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>This means the absolute maximum numbers of concurrent connections is:</p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="indent"><strong>
|
||
(<code class="directive">AsyncRequestWorkerFactor</code> + 1) *
|
||
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#maxrequestworkers">MaxRequestWorkers</a></code>
|
||
</strong></p>
|
||
|
||
<p><code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#maxrequestworkers">MaxRequestWorkers</a></code> was called
|
||
<code class="directive">MaxClients</code> prior to version 2.3.13. The above value
|
||
shows that the old name did not accurately describe its meaning for the event MPM.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><code class="directive">AsyncRequestWorkerFactor</code> can take non-integer
|
||
arguments, e.g "1.5".</p>
