I'm trying to build a simple timeout module using nginx timers. At the beginning of a request I'm firing up a timer and after time interval elapses I want to check if request has already completed, and if not, finalize it, for example it with NGX_HTTP_REQUEST_TIME_OUT. I have created a filter module. I'm creating a timer in filter headers:
static ngx_int_t simple_timeout_filter_headers(ngx_http_request_t* request) { ngx_event_t* timeout_event; timeout_event = ngx_pcalloc(request->pool, sizeof(ngx_event_t)); if (timeout_event == NULL) { return NGX_ERROR; } timeout_event->handler = simple_timeout_handler; timeout_event->data = request; timeout_event->log = request->connection->log; ngx_log_debug0(NGX_LOG_DEBUG_HTTP, request->connection->log, 0, "SIMPLE TIMEOUT TIMER START"); ngx_add_timer(timeout_event, 3000); /* wait for 3 seconds */ return next_header_filter(request); } Simple timeout handler looks like this: static void simple_timeout_handler(ngx_event_t* timeout_event) { ngx_log_debug0(NGX_LOG_DEBUG_HTTP, timeout_event->log, 0, "SIMPLE TIMEOUT TIMER END"); } And it works if I issue a request, and wait for a timer to fire. If I issue several requests while the previous timer is already in progress, I get a SEGFAULT. A SEGFAULT happens here, while inserting a node into rbtree: ngx_rbtree_insert() at ngx_rbtree.c:32 0x40d3c0 ngx_event_add_timer() at ngx_event_timer.h:84 0x42fc32 ngx_http_init_connection() at ngx_http_request.c:363 0x42fc32 ngx_event_accept() at ngx_event_accept.c:360 0x41c9ec ngx_epoll_process_events() at ngx_epoll_module.c:822 0x424a00 ngx_process_events_and_timers() at ngx_event.c:248 0x41bb2c ngx_single_process_cycle() at ngx_process_cycle.c:308 0x423c8b main() at nginx.c:416 0x403bc6 So what I'm missing in my simple_timeout_filter_headers method?
