If a client sends a lot more pipelined requests than we can handle, then
we need to provide backpressure so that the client knows to back off.
Do this by pausing both the stream and the parser itself when the
responses are not being read by the downstream client.
Backport of 085dd30
- fixed some incomprehensible wording ("event assigned to..."?)
- removed undocumented and unnecessary process properties from example
- corrected the docs on the default for the exec setting
- described when workers are removed from cluster.workers
- described addressType, which was documented as existing, but not what
values it might have
- spell out more clearly the limitations of setupMaster
- describe disconnect in sufficient detail that why a child does or does
not exit can be understood
- clarify which cluster functions and events are available on process or
just on the worker, as well as which are not available in children,
- don't describe events as the same, when they have receive different
arguments
- fix misleading disconnect example: since disconnect already calls
close on all servers, doing it again in the example is a no-op, not
the "force close" it was claimed to be
- document the error event, not catching it will kill your node
- describe suicide better, it is important, and a bit unintuitive
(process.exit() is not suicide?)
- use worker consistently throughout, instead of child.
- Make explicit that .disconnected is set before the disconnect event,
and it is not allowed to send messages after calling .disconnect(),
even while waiting for a delayed disconect event.
- Remove obsolete claim that explicit exit is required
- Describe silent: in the options for fork()
- Describe .connected as the property it is, not just as an aside in
the disconnect() method
A follow-up commit will save the domain name on the request object but
we can't call that property 'domain' because that gets intercepted by
src/node.cc and lib/domain.js to implement the node.js feature of the
same name.
To avoid confusion, rename all variables called 'domain' to 'hostname'.
Before this commit, the SIGUSR1 signal handler wasn't installed until
late in the bootstrapping process and we were prone to miss signals
sent by other processes.
This commit installs an early-boot signal handler that merely records
the fact that we received a signal. Once the debugger infrastructure
is in place, the signal is re-raised, kickstarting the debugger.
Among other things, this means that simple/test-debugger-client is
now _much_ less likely to fail.
Commit 30e5366b ("core: Use a uv_signal for debug listener") changed
SIGUSR1 handling from a signal handler to libuv's uv_signal_*()
functionality to fix a race condition (and possible hang) in the
signal handler.
While a good change in itself, it made it impossible to interrupt
long running scripts. When a script is stuck in a busy loop, control
never returns to the event loop, which in turn means the signal
callback - and therefore the debugger - is never invoked.
This commit changes SIGUSR1 handling back to a normal signal handler
but one that treads _very_ carefully.
If a client sends a lot more pipelined requests than we can handle, then
we need to provide backpressure so that the client knows to back off.
Do this by pausing both the stream and the parser itself when the
responses are not being read by the downstream client.
Fix GH-6214
Add a short explanation of what the load average is and why it's
unavailable on Windows.
Also sneak in a fix for a typo that I introduced in commit 56c5806.
Don't emit the 'disconnect' event until all workers have gone away.
Before this commit, the event was emitted when all open handles were
closed, which usually - but not always - amounts to the same thing.
Fixes#6346.
Because it's possible for the data within a Buffer instance to be
altered after instantiation, or in case a user attempts to do something
like the following:
Buffer.prototype.fill.call({}, 10, 0, 10);
It doesn't result in a segfault.
* Extend examples to show how to handle non-constructor invocation in
constructor callback functions.
* Fix up examples to initialize member variables at object construction.
* Fix up a few naming inconsistencies.
Fixes#5701.
Destroying the TLS session implies destroying the underlying socket but
before this commit, that was done with net.Socket#destroy() rather than
net.Socket#destroySoon(). The former closes the connection right away,
even when there is still data to write. In other words, sometimes the
final TLS record got truncated.
Fixes#6107.
This change makes several improvements to the ustack helper and MDB
support:
- ustack helper and MDB: add support for two-byte strings
(necessary to print many filenames in stacktraces in 0.10 and later).
- ustack helper: fix position numbers, which were off by a factor of two
- ustack helper: fix frames with undefined Scripts (e.g., "RegExp")
- ustack helper: add stub frames
- MDB: add support for sliced strings
- MDB: sync up with changes from the illumos version of the module
Fixes#6309Closes#6318
fs.truncate() and its synchronous sibling are implemented in terms of
open() + ftruncate(). Unfortunately, it opened the target file with
mode 'w' a.k.a. 'write-only and create or truncate at open'.
The subsequent call to ftruncate() then moved the end-of-file pointer
from zero to the requested offset with the net result of a file that's
neatly truncated at the right offset and filled with zero bytes only.
This bug was introduced in commit 168a5557 but in fairness, before that
commit fs.truncate() worked like fs.ftruncate() so it seems we've never
had a working fs.truncate() until now.
Fixes#6233.
Mea culpa, I didn't properly resolve a merge conflict in the last two
commits. The resulting segmentation fault only happened on Linux and
only sometimes.
Fixes#6306.
The previous commit changes the profiler idle notifier so that it only
gets started when a --prof or --prof_lazy argument is specified on the
command line.
This commit adds two internal methods to the process object that allows
one to start and stop the idle notifier programmatically.
The previous commit adds a notifier that tells the V8 profiler when
node.js is idle, i.e. when it's about to start sleeping in the
platform's equivalent of epoll_wait().
This commit adds a heuristic that only starts the notifier when the
V8 profiler is started from the command line.
Inform V8's CPU profiler when we're idle. The profiler is
sampling-based but not all samples are created equal; mark the wall
clock time spent in epoll_wait() and friends so profiling tools can
filter it out. The samples still end up in v8.log but with state=IDLE
rather than state=EXTERNAL.
