HAProxy - Load balancer
fcb8bf8650
Till now whenever a server or proxy's queue was touched, this server or proxy's lock was taken. Not only this requires distinct code paths, but it also causes unnecessary contention with other uses of these locks. This patch adds a lock inside the "queue" structure that will be used the same way by the server and the proxy queuing code. The server used to use a spinlock and the proxy an rwlock, though the queue only used it for locked writes. This new version uses a spinlock since we don't need the read lock part here. Tests have not shown any benefit nor cost in using this one versus the rwlock so we could change later if needed. The lower contention on the locks increases the performance from 491k to 507k req/s on 16 threads with 20 servers and leastconn. The gain with roundrobin even increases by 6%. The performance profile changes from this: 13.03% haproxy [.] fwlc_srv_reposition 8.08% haproxy [.] fwlc_get_next_server 3.62% haproxy [.] process_srv_queue 1.78% haproxy [.] pendconn_dequeue 1.74% haproxy [.] pendconn_add to this: 11.95% haproxy [.] fwlc_srv_reposition 7.57% haproxy [.] fwlc_get_next_server 3.51% haproxy [.] process_srv_queue 1.74% haproxy [.] pendconn_dequeue 1.70% haproxy [.] pendconn_add At this point the differences are mostly measurement noise. This is tagged medium because the lock is changed, but no other part of the code touches the queues, with nor without locking, so this should remain invisible. |

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for : - INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy - BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use - LICENSE for the project's license - CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory : - doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy - doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual - doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual - doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine - doc/network-namespaces.txt for how to use network namespaces under Linux - doc/management.txt for the management guide - doc/regression-testing.txt for how to use the regression testing suite - doc/peers.txt for the peers protocol reference - doc/coding-style.txt for how to adopt HAProxy's coding style - doc/internals for developer-specific documentation (not all up to date)
