                               Throttle.c

Request "throttling" is a term adopted to describe controlling the number of
concurrent requests that can be processing against any specified path at any
one time.  Requests in excess of this value are then FIFO queued up to an
optional limit waiting for a being-processed request to conclude allowing the
next queued request to continue processing again.  This is primarily intended
to limit concurrent resource-intensive script execution but could be applied to
*any* resource path.  Here's one dictionary description.

  throttle n 1: a valve that regulates the supply of fuel to the engine
  [syn: accelerator, throttle valve] 2: a pedal that controls the throttle
  valve; "he stepped on the gas" [syn: accelerator, accelerator pedal, gas
  pedal, gas, gun] v 1: place limits on; "restrict the use of this parking
  lot" [syn: restrict, restrain, trammel, limit, bound, confine] 2: squeeze
  the throat of; "he tried to strangle his opponent" [syn: strangle,
  strangulate] 3: reduce the air supply; of carburetors [syn: choke] 

This is applied to a path (or paths) using the mapping SET THROTTLE= rule. 
This rule allows a maximum concurrent number of requests to be specified, and
optionally a maximum number of queued requests.  When the maximum queued
requests is exceeded the client receives a 503 (server too busy) status.  Empty
or zero parameters may be included between the commas.

  throttle=from[/per-user][,to,resume,busy,timeout-queue,timeout-busy]
  throttle=n1[/u1][,n2,n3,n4,to1,to2]

  o  from        (n1) concurrent requests before queuing begins
  o  per-user    (u1) concurrent requests per (authenticated) user
  o  to          (n2) queuing continues up to this value, when the queue FIFOs
  o  resume      (n3) FIFO continues to this value, where queuing begins again
  o  busy        (n4) absolute maximum concurrent requests before 503 "busy"
  o  t/o-queue   (to1) period before a queued request is processed
  o  t/o-busy    (to2) period before a queued request is 503 "busy"ed

When a throttle rule is loaded it is checked for "sensible" values.  Basically
this means that each successive value is larger than it's predecessor.


DESCRIPTION
-----------

  o  If 'from' (n1) is exceeded then begin to queue.  Actively processing
requests does not increase, queue length does.

  o  If 'per-user' (u1) is non-zero the value regulates the number of
concurrently processing requests for any one authenticated user.  Even though
the 'from' value may allow processing if 'per-user' would be exceeded the
request is queued.

  o  If 'to' (n2) is specified and exceeded then begin to FIFO requests from
the queue into processing.  Queue length does not increase (new are being put
onto the queue, previous being taken off of the other end of the queue), but
number processing now begins to increase.
  
  o  If 'resume' (n3) is specified this acts as an absolute control on all
request PROCESSING associated with the path.  After this value the number of
requests actively being processed does not increase but queue length again
does.
  
  o  If 'busy' (n4) is exceeded ALWAYS immediately generate a 503 "busy".

  o  If 'timeout-queue' (to1) is specified this causes queued requests
exceeding the period to be FIFOed from the queue into processing unless the
'resume' (n3) limit would be exceeded.  If this would be exceeded they remain
in the queue (potentially indefinitely, or until they FIFO off the queue, or
until timeout-busy (to2) occurs).
  
  o  If 'timeout-busy' (to2) is specified queued requests exceeding the period
are immediately terminated with a 503 "busy" status.  A 'timeout-busy' only
begins after the expiry of any 'timeout-queue'.
  

PER-USER THROTTLING
-------------------
If the concurrent processing value ('from') has a second, slash-delimited
integer, this serves to limit the number of authenticated user-associated
requests that can be concurrently processing.

  throttle=n1/u1[,n2,n3,n4,to1,to2]

When a request is available for processing the associated remote user name is
checked for activity against the queue.  The 'u1' (or user throttle value) is a
limit on that user name's concurrent processing.  If it would exceed the
specified value the request is queued until the number of requests processing
drops below the 'u1' value.  All other values in the throttle rule are applied
as for non-per-user throttling.

NOTE: the user name used for comparison purposes is the authenticated remote
user (same as the CGI variable value REMOTE_USER).  This can be for any realm. 
Of course the same string can be used to represent different users within
different authentication realms and so care should be exercised that per-user
throttling does not span realms otherwise unexpected (and incorrect) throttling
may occur for distinct users.  If an unauthenticated request is matched against
the throttle rule (i.e. there is no authorization rule matching the request
path) the client has a 500 (server error) response returned.  Obviously
per-user throttling must have a remote user name to throttle against and this
is a configuration issue.


EXAMPLES
--------

1) throttle=10

Requests up to 10 are concurrently processed.  When 10 is reached further
requests are queued to server capacity.

2) throttle=10,20

Concurrent requests to 10 are processed immediately.  From 11 to 20 requests
are queued.  After 20 all requests are queued but also result in a request
FIFOing off the queue to be processed (queue length is static, number being
processed increases to server capacity).

3) throttle=15,30,40

Concurrent requests up to 15 are immediately processed.  Requests 16 through to
30 are queued, while 31 to 40 requests result in the new requests being queued
and waiting requests being FIFOed into processing.  Concurrent requests from 41
onwards are again queued, in this scenario to server capacity.

4) throttle=10,20,30,40                   

Concurrent requests up to 10 are immediately processed.  Requests 11 through
to 20 will be queued.  Concurrent requests from 21 to 30 are queued too, but at
the same time waiting requests are FIFOed from the queue (resulting in 10 (n1)
+ 10 (n3-n2) = 20 being processed).  From 31 onwards requests are just queued. 
Up to 40 concurrent requests may be against the path before all new requests
are immediately returned with a 503 "busy" status.  With this scenario no more
than 20 can be concurrently processed with 20 concurrently queued.

5) throttle=10,,,30

Concurrent requests up to 10 are processed.  When 10 is reached requests are
queued up to request 30.  When request 31 arrives it is immediately given a 503
"busy" status.

6) throttle=10,20,30,40,00:02:00

This is basically the same as scenario 4) but with a resume-on-timeout of two
minutes.  If there are currently 15 (or 22 or 28) requests (n1 exceeded, n3
still within limit) the queued requests will begin processing on timeout. 
Should there be 32 processing (n3 has reached limit) the request will continue
to sit in the queue.  The timeout would not be reset.

7) throttle=15,30,40,,,00:03:00

This is basically the same as scenario 3) but with a busy-on-timeout of three
minutes.  When the timeout expires the request is immediately dequeued with a
503 "busy" status.

8) throttle=10/1

Concurrent requests up to 10 are processed.  The requests must be of
authenticated users.  Each authenticated user is allowed to execute at most one
concurrent request against this path.  When 10 is reached, or if less than 10
users are currently executing requests, then further requests are queued to
server capacity.

9) throttle=10/1,,,,,00:03:00

This is basically the same as scenario 8) but with a busy-on-timeout of three
minutes.  When the timeout expires any requests still queued against the user
name is immediately dequeued with a 503 "busy" status.


IMPLEMENTATION
--------------

Request throttling is implemented by the MAPURL.C rule loading providing the
SET THROTTLE= rule parameters against the path, AS WELL AS counting the number
of such paths in the rules.  This number is stored along with the maxima and is
used as an index into, as well as to set up, a dynamically allocated array of
structures used to support the concurrent usage tracking and queuing against
that particular path.

Per-user throttling is accomplished by maintaining a list of per-user data
structures associated with each throttle rule that is used to track the number
of requests currently processing and queued against each authenticated user
name attempting to access the path.  The list is searched each time the
fundamental throttle structure needs to decide on processing/queueing a
request.  This list expands dynamically against demand and is periodically
garbage-collected when the underlying throttle structure is quiescent.

When path mapping SETs a throttle maximum against the request's path the
associated index number is used to select the corresponding element of the
usage structure array.  Simple and reasonably efficient.  RULE RELOADING could
present a problem with this schema ... but doesn't.  The array can grow in size
to accomodate a new rule load with additional throttles, but will never shrink. 
(being based on an array index, not a pointer makes this possible).  This
allows existing requests with buffered indices to (somewhat) correctly access
the array and be (somewhat) correctly processed.  If the actual paths
represented by array elements change there may be some "confusion" in what the
processing and queuing represents.  This could possibly result in some
resources temporarily being inappropriately throttled but this gradually
filters out of the functionality as associated requests conclude.  There are no
fatal implications (that I can see, anyway) in this scheme.
