If you're going down that road (which makes sense, of course), then it
would probably be much easier to just use the full sandbox.  There's a
long laundry list of things to deal with to get good isolation, and
the sandbox is basically a convenience tool for that list.  (IIRC, the
gui stuff had a bunch of subtle points, like taking care of the
eventspace etc.)

Re: [racket-dev] call-with-limits memory bound isn't actually bounding memory usage

2013-09-11 Thread Robby Findler
What does it mean to "refer to module A in racket/load"?

I think maybe there's some confusion about what role namespaces play and
how they work in Racket? I will try to explain. The basic idea is that a
namespace is a table mapping module names ("A" in this example) to actual
modules (it also maps top-level variables, but you don't want to really be
outside of modules (which is where those variables are) if you can help it
anyways, so lets ignore that). So, when you write

  (parameterize ([current-namespace (make-base-namespace)])
)

around some expression, then calls to things that check the namespace (eg,
dynamic-require, evaluating module expressions) will now refer to that
newly created namespace.

So, if you want to be able to refer to the module "A" in that new
namespace, you have to get it into that new namespace, either by 'eval'ing
the definition, or by putting it into a file and namespace-require'ing that
file, or something along those lines.

But returning to your earlier questions: have you tried to read the
custodian-memory-limit docs and the ISMM paper about it? If not, reading
that and asking questions about it is probably a good next step.

2013-09-11 Thread J. Ian Johnson
Okay, stamourv made your response make sense. I added parameterize 
([current-namespace (make-base-namespace)]) inside the thunk, and it works. 
Albeit ''A was no longer a valid module path in #lang racket/load, it works for 
files.
What is the right way to refer to module A in racket/load, though?

The framework will, sometimes do stuff that queues callbacks and, depending on

The framework will, sometimes do stuff that queues callbacks and, depending on 
how you've set up other things, the code running there might escape from the 
limit. Did you try putting the eventspace under the limit too?

Re: [racket-dev] call-with-limits memory bound isn't actually bounding memory usage

2013-09-09 Thread David Vanderson
I don't know if I understand.  It sounds like you want to the limit the 
total memory allocated during the dynamic extent of the function 
called.  I don't know of functionality that does that.


The limit is on the total amount of memory reachable only from within 
the function.  Without knowing more, I would recommend to change the 
function from modifying global data structures directly, to returning 
whatever data it is generating.  That way the limit will apply.


Does that make sense?

Thanks,
Dave

Ah, that would probably be the problem. Without having to modify too much code, 
would the proper way to call a function entirely within the sandbox be to use 
dynamic-require in the thunk, rather than require in the module using 
call-with-limits?

Just to make sure, is the memory being allocated reachable from outside
the sandbox?

I assumed that when you wrote "the framework" you were referring to the
library you get by (require framework), but perhaps you weren't?

Argh, sorry, I read the docs for the wrong one, sorry for the misleading

Re: [racket-dev] call-with-limits memory bound isn't actually bounding memory usage

2013-09-09 Thread J. Ian Johnson
I changed it to (call-with-limits (* 30 60) 2048 (lambda () )) 
for a sanity check, which I thought with-limits was just a macro for. Same 
problem. The execution takes at least 20 seconds to get to 15GiB, so it can't 
be just that GC isn't running in order for the custodian to notice the usage 
over the limit.

Does  have the form (lambda () )? Because 
if not, that's the problem.
