Subject:    [HACKERS] [PATCH 2/2 v3] [libpq] Try to avoid manually masking SIGPIPEs on
From:       Jeremy Kerr <jk () ozlabs ! org>
Date:       2009-06-30 6:48:43
Message-ID: 1246344523.880823.673131256920.2.gpush () pingu
[Download RAW message or body]

Currently, libpq will wrap each send() call on the connection with
two system calls to mask SIGPIPEs. This results in 3 syscalls instead
of one, and (on Linux) can lead to high contention on the signal
mask locks in threaded apps.

We have a couple of other methods to avoid SIGPIPEs:
sockopt(SO_NOSIGPIPE) and the MSG_NOSIGNAL flag to send().

This change attempts to use these if they're available at compile-
and run-time. If not, we drop back to manipulating the signal mask as
before.
