[ECOS] Re: eCos + goAhead probelm

[Amir Yiron]

Hello Hao!

I've got the same problem!
The target has eCos 2.0, and I use GoAhead 2.1.8 as well.

I'm using an improved kernel, with:
CYGPKG_NET_MEM_USAGE set to 512K (instead of 256K)
where NET_MEMPOOL_SIZE is 5/8 of CYGPKG_NET_MEM_USAGE (instead of 1/4)
CYGPKG_NET_MAX_SOCKETS set to 192 (instead of 16)

I increased 'bufsize' for bopen() to 192K, 256K, and more (instead of 60K).
I also tried to create a separate thread with a stack size of 80K (and
later 120K) and put the original main code inside ...

... But in all cases the web server was unstable, and crashed after some
play...

 Any suggestion?

b.t.w. When I load the default GoAhead web site (home.asp),
it doesn't handle with the left side menu applet (classes/treeapp.jar) -
it just leaves it black (no error message!)
The same applet works fine on Linux.

Why does it behave like that?
Have you got this problem as well?

Thanks in advance,
-- Amir

It still don't work.

My target system already pass all eCos tests include memalloc. And the
on board memory is
16MB. I think it's enough for eCos + goAhead.

It seems goAhead eat all of memory. why ?
Does anybody has same problem as I ?
I use goAhead 2.18 + eCos (2004/06/24 got from CVS).
(I already try goAhead 2.14 ~ 2.18. All that have same problem)

Re: [ECOS] eCos + goAhead probelm

[Hao]

Recently,  I modify balloc() in balloc.c of goAhead.
I try to increase 64bytes at the line of  malloc() .  And the problem of 
out of memory disappeared.
So , I think it's not the probelm caused by eCos.
I think it's caused by goAhead somewhere that call balloc() and use 
wrong size.

Now, in my target, goAhead still unstable just like you say. Then I use 
very simple web page instead of default web page(home.asp).
It still unstable, but not crashed.
But it can work very fine when I use 'lynx' instead of other browser(IE, 
mozilla..).
I don't know what's the difference of behavior between lynx and other 
browser (IE,mozilla).

Hope this information can help you something.

Hao

Hi,

How about trying to grasp the TCP packets from lynx and IE transaction, and
find their difference?

Re: [ECOS] eCos + goAhead probelm

[sebastien Couret]

Hello All,
In the past , (With GoAhead Webserver v 2.1.7) , I ran into the same kind of 
problem with eCos.
After investigation this was caused by function "int socketSelect(int sid, 
int timeout)" in file Sockgen.c (the one /* not WIN || CE || NW */ ) which 
makes calls to balloc.
Using the another "socketSelect" (the one #if (defined (WIN) || defined (CE) 
) solved the memory leak/overflow. May be you should try this before 
modifying balloc.c .

Note : Now, I use a 64K balloc buffer without any problems.

Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

Re: [ECOS] eCos + goAhead probelm

[Hao]

Hi, sebastien,

Thanks for your information.
I try your suggestion on my target. The problem of out of memory 
disappleared!!!
The goAhead isn't crashed, but very very slowly when open a simple page.
Do you have any experience about this ?

Hao

Re: [ECOS] eCos + goAhead probelm

[sebastien Couret]

Well , in files Sockgen.c and main.c , you will find a call to socketSelect 
(on my 2.1.7 version, it's line 563 for Sockgen.c and line 77 for main.c) , 
the second argument is 1000 or 2000 (it's the timeout in milli-seconds). I 
suggested you to decrease this value to 50 in both files. 

I really thing that the second implementation of socketSelect is broken and 
doesn't even take this timeout in account which makes it faster than the 
first one. 

On the other hand, I would like to inform U that I have done a epk package of 
a light modified version of GoAhead Version 2.1.7 (It works as a thread and 
has some debugging asp pages for memory leaks ). 
I can send it to you if it helps and I will be pleased of your feedback.

For increasing performance, you can also act on your library build with the 
configtool by removing debugging flags, gdb stubs , asserts , tracing , 
thread list and stack checking. I had obtain a ratio of 6 by doing this for 
networking benchmarks.

RE: [ECOS] eCos + goAhead probelm

[Amir Yiron]

Thanks Sebastien!

It works also at mine webs.
Anyway, also now (with the 50ms) it's still much slower than the
original socketSelect implementation (with a huge memory pool of 1.25M ..)

This "Winodw's implementation" of socketSelect is slow regardless the bufsize I work with (bopen).
Any idea why?

Thanks a lot,
-- Amir

Re: [ECOS] eCos + goAhead probelm

[Amir Yiron]

After some more tests, I've got a stable web server when I call bopen()
with a bufsize of 1.25M !
(1M is still not enough - I could bring it to crash after a massive set
of requests... )
Does it make sense?

What is the malloc size you're using for balloc's malloc() to solve the
out of memory problem?

Thanks,

Recently,  I modify balloc() in balloc.c of goAhead.
I try to increase 64bytes at the line of  malloc() .  And the problem of 
out of memory disappeared.
So , I think it's not the probelm caused by eCos.
I think it's caused by goAhead somewhere that call balloc() and use 
wrong size.

Now, in my target, goAhead still unstable just like you say. Then I use 
very simple web page instead of default web page(home.asp).
It still unstable, but not crashed.
But it can work very fine when I use 'lynx' instead of other browser(IE, 
mozilla..).
I don't know what's the difference of behavior between lynx and other 
browser (IE,mozilla).

Hope this information can help you something.

Re: [ECOS] eCos + goAhead probelm

[Hao]

I only change one line in the function balloc() in balloc.c

goAhead version: 218
orignal file (line 259 ~ 263)==>
            bp = (bType*) malloc(memSize);
            if (bp == NULL) {
                traceRaw(T("B: malloc failed\n"));
                return NULL;
            }

modified ==>
            bp = (bType*) malloc(memSize + 64);
            if (bp == NULL) {
                traceRaw(T("B: malloc failed\n"));
                return NULL;
            }

goAhead pre-allocate a lot of memory(about 60KB) at bopen() to build 
it's own memory pool.
When it need some memory, it will get it from it's own memory pool 
first, if the memory pool is empty,
then it call malloc() to get memory from eCos.
So, the balloc()  will check it's own memory pool first. if empty, then 
call malloc().
Because you increase the pool size of goAhead. So the balloc() never 
call malloc() to get new memory.

I try to put lots of debug message to trace the bug. Then I found eCos 
's memory pool information is overwirtten by goAhead.
So, I think the problem is goAhead use balloc() to get some memory, and 
the pre-allocate memory pool is already empty.
Then it call malloc() to get new memory from eCos.
After this, goAhead put too much data(more than the size it allocated) 
to this buffer, cause eCos 's memory pool information crashed.

Now, I don't have time to found real murderer in goAhead.
But hope it can give you a direction to solve your problem.

What is the malloc size you're

[ECOS] eCos + goAhead probelm

[Hao]

I build a target system that use eCos + goAhead web server.
When I run goAhead , and try to open a page from browser.
My target is failed at malloc() reutrn NULL.
But the ping function still work.
I set CYGNUM_MEMALLOC_FALLBACK_MALLOC_POOL_SIZE from 16384 to 1638400.
But, it doesn't help.
Then I try to use 'Simple variable block implementation' instead of
'Doug Lea's malloc implementatioin'.
It still don't work.

My target system already pass all eCos tests include memalloc. And the
on board memory is
16MB. I think it's enough for eCos + goAhead.

It seems goAhead eat all of memory. why ?
Does anybody has same problem as I ?
I use goAhead 2.18 + eCos (2004/06/24 got from CVS).
(I already try goAhead 2.14 ~ 2.18. All that have same problem)

Regards
Hao
