|
|
362 | |
|
|
363 | Before the fork, IO::AIO enters a quiescent state where no requests |
|
|
364 | can be added in other threads and no results will be processed. After |
|
|
365 | the fork the parent simply leaves the quiescent state and continues |
|
|
366 | request/result processing, while the child clears the request/result |
|
|
367 | queue (so the requests started before the fork will only be handled in |
|
|
368 | the parent). Threats will be started on demand until the limit ste in the |
|
|
369 | parent process has been reached again. |
