Before digging into the details of the issue, can you supply the OS details?
What OS are you using? What distribution?
32 or 64 bit?
can you also add the output of "squid -v" for both 3.5.14 and 3.5.13 ?

Thanks,
Eliezer

Greetings Squid users,

With 3.5.14 out and activating CFLAGS, I am getting into trouble.  Funny
too, I spent a lot of time wondering why it wasn’t adding CFLAGS in
earlier builds.  In any event, I have a 3.5.13 instance configured as
follows:

./configure --prefix=/usr   --localstatedir=/var
--libexecdir=/usr/lib/squid    --srcdir=.   --datadir=/usr/share/squid
--sysconfdir=/etc/squid   --with-default-user=proxy
--with-logdir=/var/log   --with-pidfile=/var/run/squid.pid
--enable-linux-netfilter  --enable-cache-digests
--enable-storeio=ufs,aufs,diskd,rock  --enable-async-io=30
--enable-http-violations --enable-zph-qos --with-netfilter-conntrack
--with-filedescriptors=65536 --with-large-files

It has a quartet of cache-dirs (I’m still testing and monkeying) as follows:

cache_dir rock /var/spool/squid/rock/1 64000 swap-timeout=600
max-swap-rate=600 min-size=0 max-size=128KB

cache_dir rock /var/spool/squid/rock/2 102400 swap-timeout=600
max-swap-rate=600 min-size=128KB max-size=256KB

cache_dir aufs /var/spool/squid/aufs/1 200000 16 128 min-size=256KB
max-size=4096KB

cache_dir aufs /var/spool/squid/aufs/2 1500000 16 128 min-size=4096KB
max-size=8196000KB

Permissions are all proxy.proxy for the cache dirs and everything is
happily running.  When I read that the CFLAGS bug was solved, I thought
“hey, didn’t I do some terrible thing to determine what cflags are
correct on a vmware virtual instance?” and dug up the cflags that I came
up with.  I then compiled 3.5.14 as follows:

./configure CFLAGS="-march=core2 -mcx16 -msahf -mno-movbe -mno-aes
-mno-pclmul -mno-popcnt -mno-sse4 -msse4.1" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
--with-pthreads --prefix=/usr   --localstatedir=/var
--libexecdir=/usr/lib/squid    --srcdir=.   --datadir=/usr/share/squid
--sysconfdir=/etc/squid   --with-default-user=proxy
--with-logdir=/var/log   --with-pidfile=/var/run/squid.pid
--enable-linux-netfilter  --enable-cache-digests
--enable-storeio=ufs,aufs,diskd,rock  --enable-async-io=30
--enable-http-violations --enable-zph-qos --with-netfilter-conntrack
--with-filedescriptors=65536 --with-large-files

This leads to the following in the cache log, and a crash.

<<<SNIP

FATAL: Ipc::Mem::Segment::open failed to
shm_open(/squid-var.spool.squid.rock.1_spaces.shm): (2) No such file or
directory

Squid Cache (Version 3.5.14): Terminated abnormally.

CPU Usage: 5.439 seconds = 2.581 user + 2.858 sys

 >>>SNIP

This looks similar to a bug
http://bugs.squid-cache.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3880#c1 that was already
reported, but I don’t know enough to say with certainty.  It does look
like these compile options are allowing squid to launch with multiple
processes and do other things that I think I might want, but I can’t
tell for sure.  So, it does lead me to a few questions:

(1)Do these flags make sense?  I only half know what half of them do,
but they appear to basically just be supported flags on a ESXi virtual
machine given my hardware.  I have googled, just not a lot of light shed
on this instance, thoughts and insights are appreciated.

(2)Are my rock stores lagging out, and how would you recommend tuning
them if so?

(3)Does the strategy above make sense?  My thinking is to segregate the
small cache items into a rock datastore, and the big items into an aufs
datastore.

(4)Do you have any pointers on calculating the size of rocks and aufs
stores based on disk performance etc?  I’m guessing that there is sort
of a logical size to make a specific rock and aufs based on how big of
items you store in it and so on.  Is there some way I can apply some
math and find bottlenecks?

Finally, 3.5.14 does run fine when compiled with the first set (even
with --with-pthreads added) so I think this is probably cflags related.
I would like to get multiple disker processes running, I think it would
probably help in my environment, but it’s not supremely critical.
Anyway, there is a note at the end of the bug saying that this wasn’t
seen for a while, and I thought I’d say “I’ve seen it! Maybe!”  let me
know if I am creating this bug through a creative mistake, or if you
have other ideas here.  Thanks!
