Document the receive-buffer-size directive
Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
Fabian Keil [Mon, 29 May 2017 10:02:11 +0000 (10:02 +0000)]
Add a receive-buffer-size directive
... which can be used to set the size of the previously statically
allocated buffer in handle_established_connection().
Increasing the buffer size increases Privoxy's memory usage but
can lower the number of context switches and thereby reduce the
cpu usage and potentially increase the throughput.
This is mostly relevant for fast network connections and
large downloads that don't require filtering.
Currently BUFFER_SIZE is kept as default and lower limit
but the default should be increased after some more testing.
A dtrace command like:
sudo dtrace -n 'syscall::read:return /execname == "privoxy"/ { @[execname] = llquantize(arg0, 10, 0, 5, 20); @m = max(arg0)}'
can be used to properly tune the receive-buffer-size.
If the buffer is too large it will increase Privoxy's memory
footprint without any benefit. As the memory is (currently)
cleared before using it, a buffer that is too large can
actually reduce the throughput.
Things could be improved further by upwards scaling the buffer
dynamically based on how much of the previous allocation
was actually used.
Additionally the buffer should be referenced through csp and
also be used for other receive-related functions.
Measured throughput when using four connections to
constantly request a 10 MB file:
~320 MB/s with the default
~400 MB/s with "receive-buffer-size 8192"
~490 MB/s with "receive-buffer-size 16384"
~610 MB/s with "receive-buffer-size 32768"

Make it more obvious that the --with-fdsetsize configure switch is pointless if poll() is available
Fabian Keil [Thu, 25 May 2017 11:16:56 +0000 (11:16 +0000)]
Never use select() when poll() is available
On most platforms select() is limitted by FD_SETSIZE while
poll() is not. This was a scaling issue for multi-user setups.
Using poll() has no downside other than the usual risk
that code modifications may introduce new bugs that have
yet to be found and fixed.
At least in theory this commit could also reduce the latency
when there are lots of connections and select() would use
"bit fields in arrays of integers" to store file descriptors.
Another side effect is that Privoxy no longer has to stop
monitoring the client sockets when pipelined requests are
waiting but can't be read yet.
This code keeps the select()-based code behind ifdefs for
now but hopefully it can be removed soonish to make the
code more readable.
