Nginx 事件驱动模块连接处理
概述
由于 Nginx 工作在 master-worker 多进程模式，若所有 worker 进程在同一时间监听同一个端口，当该端口有新的连接事件出现时，每个worker 进程都会调用函数ngx_event_accept 试图与新的连接建立通信，即所有worker 进程都会被唤醒，这就是所谓的“惊群”问题，这样会导致系统性能下降。幸好在Nginx 采用了ngx_accept_mutex 同步锁机制，即只有获得该锁的worker 进程才能去处理新的连接事件，也就在同一时间只能有一个worker 进程监听某个端口。虽然这样做解决了“惊群”问题，但是随之会出现另一个问题，若每次出现的新连接事件都被同一个worker 进程获得锁的权利并处理该连接事件，这样会导致进程之间不均衡的状态，即在所有worker 进程中，某些进程处理的连接事件数量很庞大，而某些进程基本上不用处理连接事件，一直处于空闲状态。因此，这样会导致worker 进程之间的负载不均衡，会影响Nginx 的整体性能。为了解决负载失衡的问题，Nginx 在已经实现同步锁的基础上定义了负载阈值ngx_accept_disabled，当某个worker 进程的负载阈值大于 0 时，表示该进程处于负载超重的状态，则Nginx 会控制该进程，使其没机会试图与新的连接事件进行通信，这样就会为其他没有负载超重的进程创造了处理新连接事件的机会，以此达到进程间的负载均衡。
连接事件处理
新连接事件由函数 ngx_event_accept 处理。

当出现新连接事件时，只有获得同步锁的进程才可以处理该连接事件，避免了“惊群”问题，进程试图处理新连接事件由函数 ngx_trylock_accept_mutex 实现。
ngx_int_t
ngx_trylock_accept_mutex(ngx_cycle_t *cycle)
{
if (ngx_shmtx_trylock(&ngx_accept_mutex)) {
ngx_log_debug0(NGX_LOG_DEBUG_EVENT, cycle->log, 0,
"accept mutex locked");
if (ngx_accept_mutex_held
&& ngx_accept_events == 0
&& !(ngx_event_flags & NGX_USE_RTSIG_EVENT))
{
return NGX_OK;
}
if (ngx_enable_accept_events(cycle) == NGX_ERROR) {
ngx_shmtx_unlock(&ngx_accept_mutex);
return NGX_ERROR;
}
ngx_accept_events = 0;
ngx_accept_mutex_held = 1;
return NGX_OK;
}
ngx_log_debug1(NGX_LOG_DEBUG_EVENT, cycle->log, 0,
"accept mutex lock failed: %ui", ngx_accept_mutex_held);
if (ngx_accept_mutex_held) {
if (ngx_disable_accept_events(cycle) == NGX_ERROR) {
return NGX_ERROR;
}
ngx_accept_mutex_held = 0;
}
return NGX_OK;
}
Nginx 通过负载阈值 ngx_accept_disabled 控制进程是否处理新连接事件，避免进程间负载均衡问题。
if(ngx_accept_disabled > 0){
ngx_accept_disabled --;
}else{
if(ngx_trylock_accept_mutex(cycle) == NGX_ERROR){
return;
}
...
}
