As i learned from golang docs, if i set runtime.GOMAXPROCS(8) with a cpu of 8 cores (intel i7), then start a goroutine of infinite-loop, other gorutines should not be blocked because there are engough threads and goprocs. But this is not true when using net/http package, an infinite-loop goroutine will block http server after a few invocations. Can anyone help to explain why ?
Server code:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"net/http"
"runtime"
)
func myHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
w.Write([]byte("hello"))
}
func infiniteloop() {
for {
}
}
func main() {
// set max procs for multi-thread executing
runtime.GOMAXPROCS(runtime.NumCPU())
// print GOMAXPROCS=8 on my computer
fmt.Println("GOMAXPROCS=", runtime.GOMAXPROCS(-1))
http.Handle("/", http.HandlerFunc(myHandler))
// uncomment below line cause server block after some requests
// go infiniteloop()
if err := http.ListenAndServe(":8280", nil); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
}
Client code:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"net/http"
)
func getOnce() {
if resp, err := http.Get("http://localhost:8280"); err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
} else {
defer func() {
if err := resp.Body.Close(); err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
}()
if resp.StatusCode != 200 {
fmt.Println("error codde:", resp.StatusCode)
return
} else {
fmt.Print("*")
}
}
}
func main() {
for i := 1; i < 1000; i++ {
getOnce()
if i%50 == 0 {
fmt.Println()
}
}
}
Now i know why such emtpy loop block other goroutines, but why runtime.LockOSThread() doesn't help either?
func infiniteloop() {
// add LockOSThread will not help
runtime.LockOSThread()
for {
}
}
As http://golang.org/pkg/runtime/#LockOSThread mentioned, the empty loop should be executed in an standalone thread, and other goroutines should not be impacted by the busy loop. What's wrong in my understanding?
The Go runtime's scheduler is not fully pre-emptive at this time. Go 1.2 improved matters by occasionally calling into the scheduler on function calls, but the infinite loops in your example have no function calls so this doesn't help.
With an actual body to your infinite loop handlers, you may see better behaviour. Alternatively, a manual call to runtime.Gosched may help in cases like this.
