Make number of mutex locks configurable at apache startup

• Key: MODPYTHON-145
• Type: New Feature
• Status: Closed
• Resolution: Fixed
• Priority: Minor
• Assignee: Jim Gallacher

• Component/s: core
• Affects Version/s: 3.3.x
• Fix Version/s: 3.2.10, 3.3.1

Description

The number of locks can already be specified at compile time usine ./configure --with-max-locks=value
For completeness, the maximum number of mutex locks created by python_init should be configurable via a PythonOption. The number of locks will only be set if the PythonOption directive appears in the server context. Any other context will be ignored.

PythonOption mod_python.mutex_locks value

The implementation of this will be similar to the code required for http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-131.

Comments

[Jim Gallacher]

Use of this PythonOption to configure apache in the unit tests interferes with unit tests which are testing the PythonOption itself. These other tests assume that PythonOption is only used in the testing of PythonOption, and will need to be rewritten if we want to take advantage of PythonOption mod_python.mutex_locks or PythonOption mod_python.mutex_directory in the tests.
