From 3b7caeb11f72eb7f0ca369384bad0ec872d782e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: scottmk Date: Sat, 9 Jan 2010 20:54:57 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] 1. For keeping track of the child processes: use a doubly-linked list instead of a singly-linked list. The resulting list manipulations are both simpler (fewer special cases) and faster (no need to traverse then entire list just to find the end). 2. Maintain a free list of prefork_child structures that have been allocated but are not currently in use. Allocate from the free list when possible, in order to avoid churning through malloc() and free(). 3. When initializing prefork_child.appname: assign it the same value as the corresponding field in the parental prefork_simple, instead of creating a separate copy. The parental copy will remain valid until after all the prefork_children are gone.
