I added something like this to our distribution in IBM to address a
hairy problem with our security library.
Each MPM already has a way to terminate the process due to
MaxRequestsPerChild, e.g. check_infinite_requests() in worker and
event or the block like this in winnt:
/* Have we hit MaxConnectionsPerChild connections? */
if (ap_max_requests_per_child) {
requests_this_child++;
if (requests_this_child > ap_max_requests_per_child) {
SetEvent(max_requests_per_child_event);
}
}
If you look at the "mpm_get_name" hook, this gives a pattern where
each MPM can provide the impl itself. Then there would just be some
non-static thing in e.g. core.c that does the ap_run_foo part.
