2015-08-20Ensure ranch_conns_sup doesn't crash on protocol start crashLoïc Hoguin
2015-08-20Supervised and connection process can now be differentLoïc Hoguin
2015-08-18Welcome to 2015Loïc Hoguin
2015-03-06Handle Transport:controlling_socket/2 errors and close the socketLoïc Hoguin
2014-06-10Update copyright yearsLoïc Hoguin
2013-12-07Get rid of a ton of pointless commentsLoïc Hoguin
All of it can be found in the manual, which defines what the code must do, and is always up to date unlike the code comments.
2013-12-07Add an error report when a connection process fails to startLoïc Hoguin
Becoming closer to a standard supervisor everyday.
2013-12-07Gracefully shutdown when stop_listener/1 is calledLoïc Hoguin
Implements the `shutdown` option as documented previously.
2013-11-26Add accept_ack on all transports and ack_timeout transport optionLoïc Hoguin
Doing this in the connection process allows us to free acceptors to start accepting more connections quicker, especially under load.
2013-08-29Include protocol module in error report when connection failsJames Fish
2013-08-28Don't report error when protocol exits with reason shutdownJames Fish
Exiting with reason `shutdown` or `{shutdown, term()}` is not an error.
2013-08-27Print an error if the supervisor receives an unexpected messageLoïc Hoguin
2013-08-27Close the socket if no child process was startedLoïc Hoguin
2013-08-20Report errors when connection processes failLoïc Hoguin
2013-06-19Catch exceptions in ranch_conns_sup:active_connections/1Loïc Hoguin
It can be called from other nodes too.
2013-06-19Fix which_children call which returned incorrect valuesLoïc Hoguin
Not everything stored in the process dictionary is a pid, because we use proc_lib. Thanks to the cool spanish girl at the EUC 2013 for highlighting this issue, and sorry I forgot your name.
2013-05-16Add ranch:ref() typeLoïc Hoguin
2013-04-29Allow connection processes to be supervisorsLoïc Hoguin
2013-04-01Remove ranch_listener and replace ListenerPid by RefLoïc Hoguin
We just don't need this process anymore. Less, simpler code! API changes: * Protocols start_link first argument is now Ref instead of ListenerPid * ranch:accept_ack/1 argument is now Ref instead of ListenerPid * ranch_listener:remove_connection/1 becomes ranch:remove_connection/1 and its argument is now Ref instead of ListenerPid Ref is the name of the listener given as first argument to start_listener/6.
2013-03-31Use a custom supervisor for ranch_conns_supLoïc Hoguin
This change was designed so that we don't have this supervisor and ranch_listener performing the same job, namely monitoring connection processes, the first through links and the second through monitors. This change also makes possible various optimizations: * Acceptors don't need to know about options, maximum number of connections, or anything else. They can just accept, pass the socket to the supervisor, and when the supervisor replies continue accepting connections. * The supervisor holds most of the information that will be passed to created processes. This reduces copying. * The supervisor temporarily takes ownership of the socket, then creates the connection process and gives it ownership, streamlining the creation. * The supervisor can hold acceptors in their receive loop if max_connections is reached. When this number gets below the limit it can then send a message to a sleeping acceptor to make it resume its operations. * Because we know that all connection process creations are made from the local Erlang node, we can greatly reduce the number operations to be made when calling the supervisor. * Because all acceptors die if this supervisor dies, we can remove even more operations from the calling code. We do not need to monitor or wait for a timeout. This reduces the call code to two statements: send and receive. (Thanks James Fish for helping with that.) * The supervisor only needs to keep track of a list of pids. There is no children specification to be maintained, we do not need to handle restart strategy (no process can be restarted because the socket dies with it). We are using the process dictionary for storing the pids as it proved to be the simplest and fastest solution. * The supervisor maintains a count of current connections, but also of processes (including the ones that removed themselves from the pool), making any query of these values very fast. The supervisor should still be compatible with OTP principles. It responds to calls from the supervisor module as expected, although some of them are disabled and an error will be returned, for example supervisor:start_child/2. It is also started with proc_lib and handles system messages. sys:get_status/1 can thus be used as expected. We can see a great increase in the number of requests/s, a great improvement in the latency of requests, and we can simply accept requests faster than before. It will probably have a bigger increase under virtualized environments, although that's only a guess. As a result of this, we don't write much anymore in the ranch_server ets table, so the write_concurrency option was removed. Tests were also slightly improved to prevent race conditions.
2012-12-21Make listener supervisor failures less painfulAndrew Majorov
Two general issues were addressed. The first one is the issue with statically defined pids passed into childspecs. This issue prevents regular supervisor' children restarts in the case of someone's failure. The second one is the not quite appropriate restart strategy. Changed to rest_for_one which in pair with previous fixes assures that live connections will not die in the case of partial failure. Among possible failures are listening socket shutdown or frequent accept errors.
2012-06-04Add Transport:connect/3 and remove types unneeded by R15B+0.2.1Loïc Hoguin
Also use one export per line to improve future diffs. Bump the version to 0.2.1 to reflect this change.
2012-04-14Import the acceptor code from CowboyLoïc Hoguin
Modules were renamed. The 'cowboy_' prefix became 'ranch_'. At the same time, ranch_ssl_transport became ranch_ssl, and ranch_tcp_transport became ranch_tcp, because appending '_transport' felt a bit redundant considering SSL and TCP clearly are transports. One test has been added to make sure everything is working.
