=head1 NAME

 FCGI::ProcManager - functions for managing FastCGI applications.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

{
 # In Object-oriented style.
 use CGI::Fast;
 use FCGI::ProcManager;
 my $proc_manager = FCGI::ProcManager->new({
	n_processes => 10 
 });
 $proc_manager->pm_manage();
 while (my $cgi = CGI::Fast->new()) {
   $proc_manager->pm_pre_dispatch();
   # ... handle the request here ...
   $proc_manager->pm_post_dispatch();
 }

 # This style is also supported:
 use CGI::Fast;
 use FCGI::ProcManager qw(pm_manage pm_pre_dispatch 
			  pm_post_dispatch);
 pm_manage( n_processes => 10 );
 while (my $cgi = CGI::Fast->new()) {
   pm_pre_dispatch();
   #...
   pm_post_dispatch();
 }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

FCGI::ProcManager is used to serve as a FastCGI process manager.  By
re-implementing it in perl, developers can more finely tune performance in
their web applications, and can take advantage of copy-on-write semantics
prevalent in UNIX kernel process management.  The process manager should
be invoked before the caller''s request loop

The primary routine, C<pm_manage>, enters a loop in which it maintains a
number of FastCGI servers (via fork(2)), and which reaps those servers
when they die (via wait(2)).

C<pm_manage> provides too hooks:

 C<managing_init> - called just before the manager enters the manager loop.
 C<handling_init> - called just before a server is returns from C<pm_manage>

It is necessary for the caller, when implementing its request loop, to
insert a call to C<pm_pre_dispatch> at the top of the loop, and then
7C<pm_post_dispatch> at the end of the loop.

=head2 Signal Handling

FCGI::ProcManager attempts to do the right thing for proper shutdowns now.

When it receives a SIGHUP, it sends a SIGTERM to each of its children, and
then resumes its normal operations.   

When it receives a SIGTERM, it sends a SIGTERM to each of its children, sets
an alarm(3) "die timeout" handler, and waits for each of its children to
die.  If all children die before this timeout, process manager exits with
return status 0.  If all children do not die by the time the "die timeout"
occurs, the process manager sends a SIGKILL to each of the remaining
children, and exists with return status 1.

In order to get FastCGI servers to exit upon receiving a signal, it is
necessary to use its FAIL_ACCEPT_ON_INTR.  See FCGI.pm's description of
FAIL_ACCEPT_ON_INTR.  Unfortunately, if you want/need to use CGI::Fast, it
appears currently necessary to modify your installation of FCGI.pm, with
something like the following:

  sub Request(;***$$$) {
 -    my @defaults = (\*STDIN, \*STDOUT, \*STDERR, \%ENV, 0, 0);
 +    my @defaults = (\*STDIN, \*STDOUT, \*STDERR, \%ENV, 0, FAIL_ACCEPT_ON_INTR());
      splice @defaults,0,@_,@_;
      RequestX(@defaults);
  }   
 -*- end patch -*-

Otherwise, if you don't, there is a loop around accept(2) which prevents
os_unix.c OS_Accept() from returning the necessary error when FastCGI
servers blocking on accept(2) receive the SIGTERM or SIGHUP.

FCGI::ProcManager uses POSIX::sigaction() to override the default SA_RESTART
policy used for perl's %SIG behavior.  Specifically, the process manager
never uses SA_RESTART, while the child FastCGI servers turn off SA_RESTART
around the accept(2) loop, but re-enstate it otherwise.

The desired (and implemented) effect is to give a request as big a chance as
possible to succeed and to delay their exits until after their request,
while allowing the FastCGI servers waiting for new requests to die right
away. 

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new

 class or instance
 (ProcManager) new([hash parameters])

Constructs a new process manager.  Takes an option has of initial parameter
values, and assigns these to the constructed object HASH, overriding any
default values.  The default parameter values currently are:

 role         => manager
 start_delay  => 0
 die_timeout  => 60
 pm_title => 'perl-fcgi-pm'

=cut

sub new {
  my ($proto,$init) = @_;
  $init ||= {};

  my $this = { 
	      role => "manager",
	      start_delay => 0,
	      die_timeout => 60,
        pm_title => 'perl-fcgi-pm',
	      %$init
	     };
  bless $this, ref($proto)||$proto;

  $this->{PIDS} = {};

  # initialize signal constructions.
  unless ($this->no_signals()) {
    $this->{sigaction_no_sa_restart} =
	POSIX::SigAction->new('FCGI::ProcManager::sig_sub');
    $this->{sigaction_sa_restart} =
	POSIX::SigAction->new('FCGI::ProcManager::sig_sub',undef,POSIX::SA_RESTART);
  }

  return $this;
}

=head1 Manager methods

=head2 pm_manage

 instance or export
 (int) pm_manage([hash parameters])

DESCRIPTION:

When this is called by a FastCGI script to manage application servers.  It
defines a sequence of instructions for a process to enter this method and
begin forking off and managing those handlers, and it defines a sequence of
instructions to intialize those handlers.

If n_processes < 1, the managing section is subverted, and only the
handling sequence is executed.

Either returns the return value of pm_die() and/or pm_abort() (which will
not ever return in general), or returns 1 to the calling script to begin
handling requests.

=cut

sub pm_manage {
  my ($this,%values) = self_or_default(@_);
  map { $this->pm_parameter($_,$values{$_}) } keys %values;

  # skip to handling now if we won't be managing any processes.
  $this->n_processes() or return;

  # call the (possibly overloaded) management initialization hook.
  $this->role("manager");
  $this->managing_init();
  $this->pm_notify("initialized");

  my $manager_pid = $$;

 MANAGING_LOOP: while (1) {

    $this->n_processes() > 0 or
      return $this->pm_die();

    # while we have fewer servers than we want.
  PIDS: while (keys(%{$this->{PIDS}}) < $this->n_processes()) {

      if (my $pid = fork()) {
	# the manager remembers the server.
	$this->{PIDS}->{$pid} = { pid=>$pid };
        $this->pm_notify("server (pid $pid) started");

      } elsif (! defined $pid) {
	return $this->pm_abort("fork: $!");

      } else {
	$this->{MANAGER_PID} = $manager_pid;
	# the server exits the managing loop.
	last MANAGING_LOOP;
      }

      for (my $s = $this->start_delay(); $s; $s = sleep $s) {};
    }

    # this should block until the next server dies.
    $this->pm_wait();

  }# while 1

HANDLING:

  # forget any children we had been collecting.
  delete $this->{PIDS};

  # call the (possibly overloaded) handling init hook
  $this->role("server");
  $this->handling_init();
  $this->pm_notify("initialized");

  # server returns 
  return 1;
}

=head2 managing_init

 instance
 () managing_init()

DESCRIPTION:

Overrideable method which initializes a process manager.  In order to
handle signals, manage the PID file, and change the process name properly,
any method which overrides this should call SUPER::managing_init().

=cut

sub managing_init {
  my ($this) = @_;

  # begin to handle signals.
  # We do NOT want SA_RESTART in the process manager.
  # -- we want start the shutdown sequence immediately upon SIGTERM.
  unless ($this->no_signals()) {
    sigaction(SIGTERM, $this->{sigaction_no_sa_restart}) or
	$this->pm_warn("sigaction: SIGTERM: $!");
    sigaction(SIGHUP,  $this->{sigaction_no_sa_restart}) or
	$this->pm_warn("sigaction: SIGHUP: $!");
    $SIG_CODEREF = sub { $this->sig_manager(@_) };
  }

  # change the name of this process as it appears in ps(1) output.
  $this->pm_change_process_name($this->pm_parameter('pm_title'));

  $this->pm_write_pid_file();
}

=head2 pm_die

 instance or export
 () pm_die(string msg[, int exit_status])

DESCRIPTION:

This method is called when a process manager receives a notification to
shut itself down.  pm_die() attempts to shutdown the process manager
gently, sending a SIGTERM to each managed process, waiting die_timeout()
seconds to reap each process, and then exit gracefully once all children
are reaped, or to abort if all children are not reaped.

=cut

sub pm_die {
  my ($this,$msg,$n) = self_or_default(@_);

  # stop handling signals.
  undef $SIG_CODEREF;
  $SIG{HUP}  = 'DEFAULT';
  $SIG{TERM} = 'DEFAULT';

  $this->pm_remove_pid_file();

  # prepare to die no matter what.
  if (defined $this->die_timeout()) {
    $SIG{ALRM} = sub { $this->pm_abort("wait timeout") };
    alarm $this->die_timeout();
  }

  # send a TERM to each of the servers.
  if (my @pids = keys %{$this->{PIDS}}) {
    $this->pm_notify("sending TERM to PIDs, @pids");
    kill "TERM", @pids;
  }

  # wait for the servers to die.
  while (%{$this->{PIDS}}) {
    $this->pm_wait();
  }

  # die already.
  $this->pm_exit("dying: ".$msg,$n);
}

=head2 pm_wait

 instance or export
 (int pid) pm_wait()

DESCRIPTION:

This calls wait() which suspends execution until a child has exited.
If the process ID returned by wait corresponds to a managed process,
pm_notify() is called with the exit status of that process.
pm_wait() returns with the return value of wait().

=cut

sub pm_wait {
  my ($this) = self_or_default(@_);

  # wait for the next server to die.
  next if (my $pid = wait()) < 0;

  # notify when one of our servers have died.
  delete $this->{PIDS}->{$pid} and
    $this->pm_notify("server (pid $pid) exited with status $?");

  return $pid;
}

=head2 pm_write_pid_file

 instance or export
 () pm_write_pid_file([string filename])

DESCRIPTION:

Writes current process ID to optionally specified file.  If no filename is
specified, it uses the value of the C<pid_fname> parameter.

=cut

sub pm_write_pid_file {
  my ($this,$fname) = self_or_default(@_);
  $fname ||= $this->pid_fname() or return;
  if (!open PIDFILE, ">$fname") {
    $this->pm_warn("open: $fname: $!");
    return;
  }
  print PIDFILE "$$\n";
  close PIDFILE;
}

=head2 pm_remove_pid_file

 instance or export
 () pm_remove_pid_file()

DESCRIPTION:

Removes optionally specified file.  If no filename is specified, it uses
the value of the C<pid_fname> parameter.

=cut

sub pm_remove_pid_file {
  my ($this,$fname) = self_or_default(@_);
  $fname ||= $this->pid_fname() or return;
  my $ret = unlink($fname) or $this->pm_warn("unlink: $fname: $!");
  return $ret;
}

=head2 sig_sub

 instance
 () sig_sub(string name)

DESCRIPTION:

The name of this method is passed to POSIX::sigaction(), and handles signals
for the process manager.  If $SIG_CODEREF is set, then the input arguments
to this are passed to a call to that.

=cut

sub sig_sub {
  $SIG_CODEREF->(@_) if ref $SIG_CODEREF;
}

=head2 sig_manager

 instance
 () sig_manager(string name)

DESCRIPTION:

Handles signals of the process manager.  Takes as input the name of signal
being handled.

=cut

    $this->pm_notify("received signal $name");
    $this->pm_die("safe exit from signal $name");
  } elsif ($name eq "HUP") {
    # send a TERM to each of the servers, and pretend like nothing happened..
    if (my @pids = keys %{$this->{PIDS}}) {
      $this->pm_notify("sending TERM to PIDs, @pids");
      kill "TERM", @pids;
    }
  } else {
