[Mono-dev] NancyFX self hosting (HttpListener) locking up on linux

[hyber@hyber.dk]

Hi Alfred

Are you sure its not a ulimit issue? I have had this issue before with the "nofile" limit as each tcp session is a "file" under /proc and when you have 1024 open (or close wait) sessions the OS does not allow you to open more files and the code seems to hang for a bit until a session is completely gone. Eg. Timed out and you can create files again...

RE: [Mono-dev] NancyFX self hosting (HttpListener) locking up on linux


I meant to say I tried master too:
root at mulder:~# /opt/ahall-mono/bin/mono -VMono JIT compiler version 3.3.0 (master/2354865 Sun Aug  4 00:42:51 BST 2013)Copyright (C) 2002-2012 Novell, Inc, Xamarin Inc and Contributors. www.mono-project.com TLS:           __thread SIGSEGV:       altstack Notifications: epoll Architecture:  amd64 Disabled:      none Misc:          softdebug LLVM:          supported, not enabled. GC:            sgen
That should have the fix in from https://github.com/ysw, but setting MONO_DISABLE_AIO should have worked around that anyway, as its meant to bypass the epoll backend.My Nancy service is literally just returning a very simple JSON:    public class HelloWorldModule : NancyModule
{
public HelloWorldModule()
{
Get["/"] = parameters => {
return Response.AsJson(new HomeResponse { Message = "Test" });
};
}
}In JMeter I'm using 100 threads and loop count of 100 and it locks up after like 15 seconds even over the network. Very odd.
