From 66e631def8ad6a15eed57bcbde4157e0964ad8fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2005 21:51:57 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] git-daemon: actually remember the children we have outstanding This is using a lockless approach that allows us to handle children dying without having to block SIGCHLD. Right now our "solution" to too many kids is pretty damn rough, but it at least shows what you can do. --- daemon.c | 142 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 121 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) diff --git a/daemon.c b/daemon.c index e6fbab6b..32196156 100644 --- a/daemon.c +++ b/daemon.c @@ -4,21 +4,10 @@ #include #include #include +#include static const char daemon_usage[] = "git-daemon [--inetd | --port=n]"; -/* We don't actually do anything about this yet */ -static int max_connections = 10; - -/* - * We count spawned/reaped separately, just to avoid any - * races when updating them from signals.
