【nginx】【转】Nginx核心进程模型

一、Nginx整体架构

正常执行中的nginx会有多个进程，最基本的有master process（监控进程，也叫做主进程）和woker process（工作进程），还可能有cache相关进程。

一个较为完整的整体框架结构如图所示：

二、核心进程模型

启动nginx的主进程将充当监控进程，而由主进程fork()出来的子进程则充当工作进程。

nginx也可以单进程模型执行，在这种进程模型下，主进程就是工作进程，没有监控进程。

Nginx的核心进程模型框图如下：

master进程

监控进程充当整个进程组与用户的交互接口，同时对进程进行监护。它不需要处理网络事件，不负责业务的执行，只会通过管理worker进程来实现重启服务、平滑升级、更换日志文件、配置文件实时生效等功能。

master进程全貌图（来自阿里集团数据平台博客）：

master进程中for(::)无限循环内有一个关键的sigsuspend()函数调用，该函数调用是的master进程的大部分时间都处于挂起状态，直到master进程收到信号为止。

master进程通过检查一下7个标志位来决定ngx_master_process_cycle方法的运行：

sig_atomic_t ngx_reap;

sig_atomic_t ngx_terminate;

sig_atomic_t ngx_quit;

sig_atomic_t ngx_reconfigure;

sig_atomic_t ngx_reopen;

sig_atomic_t ngx_change_binary;

sig_atomic_t ngx_noaccept;

进程中接收到的信号对Nginx框架的意义：

还有一个标志位会用到：ngx_restart，它仅仅是在master工作流程中作为标志位使用，与信号无关。

worker进程

worker进程的主要任务是完成具体的任务逻辑。其主要关注点是与客户端或后端真实服务器（此时nginx作为中间代理）之间的数据可读/可写等I/O交互事件，所以工作进程的阻塞点是在像select()、epoll_wait()等这样的I/O多路复用函数调用处，以等待发生数据可读/写事件。当然也可能被新收到的进程信号中断。

master进程如何通通知worker进程去做某些工作呢？采用的是信号。

当收到信号时，信号处理函数ngx_signal_handler()就会执行。

对于worker进程的工作方法ngx_worker_process_cycle来说，它主要关注4个全局标志位：

sig_atomic_t ngx_terminate;//强制关闭进程

sig_atomic_t ngx_quit;//优雅地关闭进程（有唯一一段代码会设置它，就是接受到QUIT信号。ngx_quit只有在首次设置为1,时，才会将ngx_exiting置为1）

ngx_uint_t ngx_exiting;//退出进程标志位

sig_atomic_t ngx_reopen;//重新打开所有文件

其中ngx_terminate、ngx_quit 、ngx_reopen都将由ngx_signal_handler根据接受到的信号来设置。ngx_exiting标志位仅由ngx_worker_cycle方法在退出时作为标志位使用。

核心代码（ngx_process_cycle.c）：

static void
ngx_worker_process_cycle(ngx_cycle_t *cycle, void *data)
{
    ngx_int_t worker = (intptr_t) data;

    ngx_uint_t         i;
    ngx_connection_t  *c;

    ngx_process = NGX_PROCESS_WORKER;

    //子进程初始化
    ngx_worker_process_init(cycle, worker);

    ngx_setproctitle("worker process");

//这里有一段多线程条件下的代码。由于nginx并不支持多线程，因此删除掉了

    //循环
    for ( ;; ) {

        //ngx_exiting标志位为1，进程退出
        if (ngx_exiting) {
            c = cycle->connections;
            for (i = 0; i < cycle->connection_n; i++) {
                if (c[i].fd != -1 && c[i].idle) {
                    c[i].close = 1;
                    c[i].read->handler(c[i].read);
                }
            }

            if (ngx_event_timer_rbtree.root == ngx_event_timer_rbtree.sentinel)
            {
                ngx_log_error(NGX_LOG_NOTICE, cycle->log, 0, "exiting");
                ngx_worker_process_exit(cycle);
            }
        }

        ngx_log_debug0(NGX_LOG_DEBUG_EVENT, cycle->log, 0, "worker cycle");

        ngx_process_events_and_timers(cycle);//处理事件的方法

        //强制结束进程
        if (ngx_terminate) {
            ngx_log_error(NGX_LOG_NOTICE, cycle->log, 0, "exiting");
            ngx_worker_process_exit(cycle);
        }

        //优雅地退出进程
        if (ngx_quit) {
            ngx_quit = 0;
            ngx_log_error(NGX_LOG_NOTICE, cycle->log, 0,
                          "gracefully shutting down");
            ngx_setproctitle("worker process is shutting down");

            if (!ngx_exiting) {
                ngx_close_listening_sockets(cycle);
                //设置ngx_exiting 标志位
                ngx_exiting = 1;
            }
        }

        //重新打开所有文件
        if (ngx_reopen) {
            ngx_reopen = 0;
            ngx_log_error(NGX_LOG_NOTICE, cycle->log, 0, "reopening logs");
            ngx_reopen_files(cycle, -1);
        }
    }
}
