Greetings,
Can some point me in the correction direction please.
I have a treaded socket application that has a problem with select() returning
-1.
The select() and accept() is taken care of in one thread. The worker threads
deal with client requests after the new client connection is pushed to queue.
The logged error is :
select() failed (Bad file descriptor) getdtablesize = 65536
Sysctls at the moment are:
kern.maxfiles: 65536
kern.maxfilesperproc: 65536
<code>
void client_accept(int listen_socket)
{
...
while ( loop )
{
FD_ZERO(&socket_set);
FD_SET(listen_socket, &socket_set);
timeout.tv_sec = 1;
timeout.tv_usec = 0;
rcode = select(listen_socket + 1, &socket_set, NULL, NULL, &timeout);
if ( rcode < 0 )
{
Log(DEBUG_0, "ERROR: select() failed (%s) getdtablesize = %d",
strerror(errno), getdtablesize());
loop = 0;
sleep(30);
fcloseall();
assert(1==0);
}
if ( rcode > 0 )
{
remotelen = sizeof(remote);
client_sock = accept(listen_socket, .....
if (msgsock != -1 )
{
// Allocate memory for request
request = malloc(sizeof(struct requests));
// test for malloc etc ...
// set request values ...
//
// Push request to a queue.
}
}
}
...
}
void* tcpworker(void* arg)
{
// initialise stuff
While ( loop )
{
// pop request from queue
If ( request != NULL )
{
// deal with request
free(request)
}
}
}
</code>
When the problem occurs, i have between 1000 and 1400 clients connected.
Questions:
1. do i need to FD_CLR(client_sock,&socket_set) before i push to a queue ?
2. do i need to FD_CLR(client_sock, &socket_set) when this client request
closes in the the tcpworker() function ?
3. would setting kern.maxfilesperproc and kern.maxfiles to higher values solve
the problem or just take longer for the problem to re-appear.
4. should is replace select() with kqueue() as from google-ing it seems
select() is not that great.
Thanks
