Review request for mesos, Benjamin Hindman, Benno Evers, and Chun-Hung Hsiao.
Changes
-------
Updated per chun's suggestion.
Bugs: MESOS-8594
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-8594
Repository: mesos
Description
-------
Currently, the socket send path is implemented using an asynchronous
loop with callbacks. Without using `process::loop`, this pattern is
prone to a stack overflow in the case that all asynchronous calls
complete synchronously. This is possible with sockets if the socket
is always ready for writing. Users have reported the crash in both
MESOS-8594 and MESOS-8834, so the stack overflow is encountered in
practice.
This patch updates the send path to leverage `process::loop`, which
is supposed to prevent stack overflows in asynchronous loops. However,
it is still possible for `process::loop` to stack overflow due to
MESOS-8852. In practice, I expect that even without MESOS-8852 fixed,
users won't see any stack overflows in the send path.
