From 581e50a3637f5eb017661b2edca4e91f9ba7591b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: rowanbeentje Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2009 00:20:08 +0000 Subject: - Rewrite keepalive pings to be performed within pthreads, enforcing ping timeouts and thus avoiding problems with network connections dropping and mysql_ping sticking and crashing as more keepalive pings kick in. This should address Issue #298. --- Frameworks/MCPKit/MCPFoundationKit/MCPConnection.h | 10 +-- Frameworks/MCPKit/MCPFoundationKit/MCPConnection.m | 79 +++++++++++----------- 2 files changed, 46 insertions(+), 43 deletions(-) (limited to 'Frameworks') diff --git a/Frameworks/MCPKit/MCPFoundationKit/MCPConnection.h b/Frameworks/MCPKit/MCPFoundationKit/MCPConnection.h index edb71ee4..8a9e2567 100644 --- a/Frameworks/MCPKit/MCPFoundationKit/MCPConnection.h +++ b/Frameworks/MCPKit/MCPFoundationKit/MCPConnection.h @@ -31,6 +31,7 @@ #import "MCPConstants.h" #import "mysql.h" +#include enum { @@ -105,7 +106,7 @@ static inline NSData* NSStringDataUsingLossyEncoding(NSString* self, NSInteger e NSString *serverVersionString; NSTimer *keepAliveTimer; - NSDate *lastKeepAliveSuccess; + pthread_t keepAliveThread; uint64_t connectionStartTime; BOOL retryAllowed; @@ -116,14 +117,14 @@ static inline NSData* NSStringDataUsingLossyEncoding(NSString* self, NSInteger e IMP cStringPtr; IMP willQueryStringPtr; IMP stopKeepAliveTimerPtr; - IMP startKeepAliveTimerResettingStatePtr; + IMP startKeepAliveTimerPtr; IMP timeConnectedPtr; // Selectors SEL cStringSEL; SEL willQueryStringSEL; SEL stopKeepAliveTimerSEL; - SEL startKeepAliveTimerResettingStateSEL; + SEL startKeepAliveTimerSEL; SEL timeConnectedSEL; } @@ -155,10 +156,11 @@ static inline NSData* NSStringDataUsingLossyEncoding(NSString* self, NSInteger e - (BOOL)isConnected; - (BOOL)checkConnection; - (BOOL)pingConnection; -- (void)startKeepAliveTimerResettingState:(BOOL)resetState; +- (void)startKeepAliveTimer; - (void)stopKeepAliveTimer; - (void)keepAlive:(NSTimer *)theTimer; - (void)threadedKeepAlive; +void performThreadedKeepAlive(void *ptr); - (void)restoreConnectionDetails; - (void)setAllowQueryRetries:(BOOL)allow; - (double)timeConnected; diff --git a/Frameworks/MCPKit/MCPFoundationKit/MCPConnection.m b/Frameworks/MCPKit/MCPFoundationKit/MCPConnection.m index a9bd92dd..86261d4d 100644 --- a/Frameworks/MCPKit/MCPFoundationKit/MCPConnection.m +++ b/Frameworks/MCPKit/MCPFoundationKit/MCPConnection.m @@ -96,8 +96,8 @@ static BOOL sTruncateLongFieldInLogs = YES; connectionSocket = nil; connectionPassword = nil; keepAliveTimer = nil; + keepAliveThread = NULL; connectionProxy = nil; - lastKeepAliveSuccess = nil; connectionStartTime = -1; lastQueryExecutedAtTime = CGFLOAT_MAX; @@ -122,13 +122,13 @@ static BOOL sTruncateLongFieldInLogs = YES; // Obtain SEL references willQueryStringSEL = @selector(willQueryString:connection:); stopKeepAliveTimerSEL = @selector(stopKeepAliveTimer); - startKeepAliveTimerResettingStateSEL = @selector(startKeepAliveTimerResettingState:); + startKeepAliveTimerSEL = @selector(startKeepAliveTimer); cStringSEL = @selector(cStringFromString:); // Obtain pointers cStringPtr = [self methodForSelector:cStringSEL]; stopKeepAliveTimerPtr = [self methodForSelector:stopKeepAliveTimerSEL]; - startKeepAliveTimerResettingStatePtr = [self methodForSelector:startKeepAliveTimerResettingStateSEL]; + startKeepAliveTimerPtr = [self methodForSelector:startKeepAliveTimerSEL]; } return self; @@ -349,7 +349,7 @@ static BOOL sTruncateLongFieldInLogs = YES; } // Start the keepalive timer - [self startKeepAliveTimerResettingState:YES]; + [self startKeepAliveTimer]; return mConnected; } @@ -619,16 +619,11 @@ static void forcePingTimeout(int signalNumber) /** * Restarts a keepalive to fire in the future. */ -- (void)startKeepAliveTimerResettingState:(BOOL)resetState +- (void)startKeepAliveTimer { if (keepAliveTimer) [self stopKeepAliveTimer]; if (!mConnected) return; - - if (resetState && lastKeepAliveSuccess) { - [lastKeepAliveSuccess release]; - lastKeepAliveSuccess = nil; - } - + if (useKeepAlive && keepAliveInterval) { keepAliveTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:keepAliveInterval @@ -641,10 +636,11 @@ static void forcePingTimeout(int signalNumber) } /** - * Stops a keepalive if one is set for the future. + * Stops a keepalive if one is set for the future, and kills any existing keepalive pings. */ - (void)stopKeepAliveTimer { + if (keepAliveThread != NULL) pthread_cancel(keepAliveThread), keepAliveThread = NULL; if (!keepAliveTimer) return; [keepAliveTimer invalidate]; [keepAliveTimer release]; @@ -657,38 +653,41 @@ static void forcePingTimeout(int signalNumber) - (void)keepAlive:(NSTimer *)theTimer { if (!mConnected) return; - - // If there a successful keepalive record exists, and it was more than 5*keepaliveinterval ago, - // abort.
