Bug #19412

Updated by brodock (Gabriel Mazetto) over 1 year ago

Here is a an example code: 

 ```ruby ``` 
 require 'socket' 

 PORT = 8080 
 BACKLOG = 50 
 LISTEN = '127.0.0.1' 

 def handle_connection(connection, _addrinfo) 
   request = connection.gets 

   puts request 

   connection.write "HTTP/1.1 200\r\n" 
   connection.write "Content-Type: text/html\r\n" 
   connection.write "\r\n" 
   connection.write "Hello world! Current time is #{Time.now}" 

 ensure 
   connection.close 
 end 

 begin 
   socket = Socket.new(:INET, :STREAM) 
   socket.bind(Addrinfo.tcp(LISTEN, PORT)) 
   socket.listen(BACKLOG) 

   puts "Requested queue size: #{BACKLOG} bigger then limit: #{Socket::SOMAXCONN}" if BACKLOG > Socket::SOMAXCONN 

   loop do 
     listening, = IO.select([socket]) 
     io, = listening 
     connection, addrinfo = io.accept 
     handle_connection(connection, addrinfo) 
   end 
 ensure 
   socket.close 
 end 
 ``` 

 This tries to simulate a TCP server that responds as if it was an HTTP server. 

 The amount of requests it can sustain seems to depend on the OS. On a Linux machine running ubuntu 20.04 I get something around 7.6K to 7.8K until it stops responding.

 in both cases when that limit reaches, if I abort the program (CTRL-C) and try to run it again it takes a while until the port is released: 

 ``` 
 ... 
 GET / HTTP/1.0 
 GET / HTTP/1.0

 ^Csocketserver.rb:29:in `select': Interrupt 
	 from socketserver.rb:29:in `block in <main>' 
	 from socketserver.rb:28:in `loop' 
	 from socketserver.rb:28:in `<main>' 
 $ ruby socketserver.rb                                                                                                                                                   
 socketserver.rb:23:in `bind': Address already in use - bind(2) for 127.0.0.1:8080 (Errno::EADDRINUSE) 
	 from socketserver.rb:23:in `<main>' 
 ``` 

 After killing the process it seems no process is holding the port: 

 ``` 
 lsof -wni tcp:8080 
 ``` 

 Running the command above does not return anything (it does when the program is still running). 

 I think we may be failing to release something when interacting with the Socket on syscalls/kernel level and we endup filling up some queue/buffer that eventually gets freed.
