Log Message:
Better fix for BUG #1615787 in aolserver 4.5. Although the original fix
apparently helped for www.openacs.org, it appears to simply change the timing,
but did not fix the problem itself. The problem was that under limited
resource configurations (e.g. maxthreads 5, maxconnections 3) and heavy
traffic, incoming requests were queued but not processed in new connection
threads. The situation was especially bad, when the number of queued
requests was larger than maxconnections, since after processing n requests
the server was idling with a high number of queued requests. New requests
were put to the end of the queue while old (maybe already timed-out) requests
are being served. The server appeared to hang.
The current fix cares for queued requests even when maxconns is exceeded.
A maybe better approach is to limit the number of queued requests or
to restart automatically threads when a thread exists due to maxconns
exceeded.
