/*++ /* NAME /* master_avail 3 /* SUMMARY /* Postfix master - process creation policy /* SYNOPSIS /* #include "master.h" /* /* void master_avail_listen(serv) /* MASTER_SERV *serv; /* /* void master_avail_cleanup(serv) /* MASTER_SERV *serv; /* /* void master_avail_more(serv, proc) /* MASTER_SERV *serv; /* MASTER_PROC *proc; /* /* void master_avail_less(serv, proc) /* MASTER_SERV *serv; /* MASTER_PROC *proc; /* DESCRIPTION /* This module implements the process creation policy. As long as /* the allowed number of processes for the given service is not /* exceeded, a connection request is either handled by an existing /* available process, or this module causes a new process to be /* created to service the request. /* /* When the service runs out of process slots, a warning is logged. /* When the service is eligible for stress-mode operation, servers /* are restarted and new servers are created with stress mode enabled. /* /* master_avail_listen() ensures that someone monitors the service's /* listen socket for connection requests (as long as resources /* to handle connection requests are available). This function may /* be called at random. When the maximum number of servers is running, /* connection requests are left in the system queue. /* /* master_avail_cleanup() should be called when the named service /* is taken out of operation. It terminates child processes by /* sending SIGTERM. /* /* master_avail_more() should be called when the named process /* has become available for servicing new connection requests. /* /* master_avail_less() should be called when the named process /* has become unavailable for servicing new connection requests. /* DIAGNOSTICS /* Panic: internal inconsistencies. /* BUGS /* SEE ALSO /* master_spawn(3), child process birth and death /* LICENSE /* .ad /* .fi /* The Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software. /* AUTHOR(S) /* Wietse Venema /* IBM T.J.
