What is the status on this patch?
I will probably manually apply this to the latest version
but have been running into thread safe issues with
mod_auth_mysql since I've started using it with Apache 2.0
with Worker MPM.
I'd say this is a major issue that needs to be addressed ASAP.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
It is somewhat of a problem - but I don't think it's as
great in Apache 2.x as it was in Apache 1.x.
In Apache 1.x, all implementations of mod_auth_mysql shared
the same memory, causing thread-safe issues. Apache 2.x
works differently, and each invocation of mod_auth_mysql
gets a new block of memory. This means there are fewer
thread-safe issues. I would be interested in knowing what
kinds of thread-safe issues you've been running into.
Additionally, this patch doesn't really solve the
thread-safe issues. It helps, but there are still a number
of potential problems.
I have been looking at this issues, but the problem is not
one that's easy to solve. Additionally, I'm not all that
familiar with the Apache interface, and am having to learn
"on the fly". But it is going to require a complete rewrite
of several portions of the module - neither easy nor quick
to do right.
So - the answer is - it's coming, but right now I can't
predict when.

I need to investigate this further. It looks good, but it
is a fairly large change to the code, so I'll have to do
some testing.
I'll try to get this one into the next beta release.
