Hello,lists,
See these code piece please:
while ($cycles--)
{
my $c;
eval {
local $SIG{ALRM} = sub { die "flock timeout" };
alarm 3;
open (SOCKLOCK,SOCK_LOCK) or die "open lock file fail: $!";
flock (SOCKLOCK,LOCK_EX);
die "can't accept" unless $c = $sock->accept;
flock (SOCKLOCK,LOCK_UN);
close SOCKLOCK;
alarm 0;
};
next if $@;
my $line = <$c>;
close $c;
do_real_thing($line) if $line;
}
In above codes,I flock a file to avoid childs competing to call the
'accept'.But since there are so many childs (my socket server accept about 200
clients' connections),so each child maybe wait somewhat long time to obtain the
file-lock.So I call the 'alarm' to set a timer.After waiting for 3 seconds but
the child still can't get the file-lock,it would timeout and die the 'eval'.Now
the codes run normally,but I run 'strace -p 1234' (where '1234' is one of the
childs' pid) under Linux shell,I see this output last out for some seconds
(much more than 3 seconds):
$ strace -p 28373
Process 28373 attached - interrupt to quit
flock(6, LOCK_EX
It seems that the 'alarm' don't get executed.Why this happen?Thanks.
