| Leader MPM: |
| |
| This is an experimental MPM that uses the Leader/Followers design |
| pattern to coordinate work among threads: |
| http://deuce.doc.wustl.edu/doc/pspdfs/lf.pdf |
| |
| As of httpd-2.3, the Leader MPM also incorporates a variant of the |
| Event MPM's asynchronous socket I/O for keepalive connections. The |
| management of pollsets and timeouts is encapsulated within the |
| io_multiplexer functions, with the aim of eventually supporting |
| asynchronous write completion. |
| |
| To use the leader MPM, add "--with-mpm=leader" to the configure |
| script's arguments when building the httpd. |
| |
| IMPORTANT NOTES: |
| |
| * At the moment, with the async code under active development, the |
| Leader MPM is suitable for R&D use, but not for production use. |
| |
| * Like the Event MPM, the Leader MPM now requires a threadsafe |
| apr_pollset implementation, such as epoll on Linux or kqueue |
| on BSD. |
