The main thing I'd point to is this long explanation of what the issues I found were: http://marc.info/?l=apache-httpd-dev&m=116742014418304&w=2 If you follow the links at the bottom of this page, it maps my original patches to what eventually got committed to trunk, along with the comments in SVN: http://people.apache.org/~chrisd/patches/mod_dbd_pools_groups/ > Anyone here using trunk mod_dbd operationally and have anything > to report? We just drop the mod_dbd.c from trunk into 2.2.x and it works fine. I did some really extensive testing of it beforehand, checking all the various combinations of options, and I think it's pretty solid. IIRC, r491884 contains a number of fixes for old problems with somewhat unusual combinations of things, like the use of ap_dbd_acquire() on a non-threaded platform. I tried to check all the combinations of the following: - with and without threads - with and without persistent connections - ap_dbd_[c]acquire(), with release during request or connection cleanup - ap_dbd_open(), with explicit release using ap_dbd_close() - failure during setup when creating persistent connection pools That's off the top of my head, so I may have missed a few things; it's been a while since I thought about it. I'll try to start making up backports but it won't be tomorrow, for sure. :-/ Chris. -- GPG Key ID: 366A375B GPG Key Fingerprint: 485E 5041 17E1 E2BB C263 E4DE C8E3 FA36 366A 375B
