利用tcpcopy，发现nginx一重大bug

上周运维组利用tcpcopy压力测试nginx hmux模块，压力达到2000多请求每秒的时候，发现nginx 每个进程 cpu100%。

利用gcore产生core文件，发现nginx处于如下死循环中：

这个bug据运维人员一查，很失望，在nginx 1.0.7解决了此问题,我们利用的是0.8系列。

Fixing cpu hog with all upstream servers marked "down".

The following configuration causes nginx to hog cpu due to infinite loop
in ngx_http_upstream_get_peer():

    upstream backend {
        server 127.0.0.1:8080 down;
        server 127.0.0.1:8080 down;
    }

    server {
       ...
       location / {
           proxy_pass http://backend;
       }
    }

Make sure we don't loop infinitely in ngx_http_upstream_get_peer() but stop
after resetting peer weights once.

Return 0 if we are stuck.  This is guaranteed to work as peer 0 always exists,
and eventually ngx_http_upstream_get_round_robin_peer() will do the right
thing falling back to backup servers or returning NGX_BUSY.

然后我们利用nginx 1.0.10，来测试，目前还没有重现上周发现的bug。

要是我们早点测试这个模块，也许我们就能够首先发现这个bug。

不过机会是有的，因为我们有tcpcopy，什么样的在线流量都能够制造，不怕找不到流行开源软件的bug

上午那台机器没有重现此bug，但在新的一台机器出现了。

nginx版本和编译选项：

[root@208 sbin]# /home/nginx/sbin/nginx -V
nginx: nginx version: nginx/1.0.10
nginx: built by gcc 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-48)

nginx部分配置如下：

events {
    worker_connections  8192;
    use epoll;
    epoll_events 4096;
    accept_mutex off;
}

...
    upstream yyy  {

        server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:36904;

        keepalive 1024;

...

各位nginx牛人，帮我们确认一下是否就是nginx的bug。在此谢谢了
