module ActionDispatch # This middleware can be used to diagnose deadlocks in the autoload interlock. # # To use it, insert it near the top of the middleware stack, using # <tt>config/application.rb</tt>: # # config.middleware.insert_before Rack::Sendfile, ActionDispatch::DebugLocks # # After restarting the application and re-triggering the deadlock condition, # <tt>/rails/locks</tt> will show a summary of all threads currently known to # the interlock, which lock level they are holding or awaiting, and their # current backtrace. # # Generally a deadlock will be caused by the interlock conflicting with some # other external lock or blocking I/O call. These cannot be automatically # identified, but should be visible in the displayed backtraces. # # NOTE: The formatting and content of this middleware's output is intended for # human consumption, and should be expected to change between releases. # # This middleware exposes operational details of the server, with no access # control. It should only be enabled when in use, and removed thereafter. class DebugLocks def initialize(app, path = '/rails/locks') @app = app @path = path end def call(env) req = ActionDispatch::Request.new env if req.get? path = req.path_info.chomp('/'.freeze) if path == @path return render_details(req) end end @app.call(env) end private def render_details(req) threads = ActiveSupport::Dependencies.interlock.raw_state do |threads| # The Interlock itself comes to a complete halt as long as this block # is executing.
