上下文管理器和多处理池

Question

假设您正在使用multiprocessing.Pool对象，并且您正在使用构造函数的initializer设置来传递初始化函数，然后在全局命名空间中创建资源。假设资源有一个上下文管理器。如果它必须贯穿整个过程的生命周期，你将如何处理上下文管理资源的生命周期，但最后是否应该进行适当的清理？

到目前为止，我有点像这样：

resource_cm = None
resource = None


def _worker_init(args):
    global resource
    resource_cm = open_resource(args)
    resource = resource_cm.__enter__()

从此开始，池进程可以使用该资源。到现在为止还挺好。但是处理清理有点棘手，因为multiprocessing.Pool类没有提供destructor或deinitializer参数。

我的一个想法是使用atexit模块，并在初始化程序中注册清理。像这样：

def _worker_init(args):
    global resource
    resource_cm = open_resource(args)
    resource = resource_cm.__enter__()

    def _clean_up():
        resource_cm.__exit__()

    import atexit
    atexit.register(_clean_up)

这是一个好方法吗？有没有更简单的方法呢？

编辑：atexit似乎不起作用。至少不是我在上面使用它的方式，所以现在我仍然没有解决这个问题的方法。

首先，这是一个非常好的问题！在multiprocessing代码中挖掘了一下后，我想我已经找到了一种方法：

当您启动multiprocessing.Pool时，Pool对象在内部为池的每个成员创建一个multiprocessing.Process对象。当这些子进程启动时，它们会调用_bootstrap函数，如下所示：

def _bootstrap(self):
    from . import util
    global _current_process
    try:
        # ... (stuff we don't care about)
        util._finalizer_registry.clear()
        util._run_after_forkers()
        util.info('child process calling self.run()')
        try:
            self.run()
            exitcode = 0 
        finally:
            util._exit_function()
        # ... (more stuff we don't care about)

run方法实际上是您为target对象提供的Process。对于Pool进程，该进程具有长时间运行的while循环，等待工作项通过内部队列进入。对我们来说真正有趣的是 self.run后发生的事情：util._exit_function()被调用。

事实证明，该功能可以进行一些清理，听起来很像您正在寻找的内容：

def _exit_function(info=info, debug=debug, _run_finalizers=_run_finalizers,
                   active_children=active_children,
                   current_process=current_process):
    # NB: we hold on to references to functions in the arglist due to the
    # situation described below, where this function is called after this
    # module's globals are destroyed.

    global _exiting

    info('process shutting down')
    debug('running all "atexit" finalizers with priority >= 0')  # Very interesting!
    _run_finalizers(0)

这是_run_finalizers的文档字符串：

def _run_finalizers(minpriority=None):
    '''
    Run all finalizers whose exit priority is not None and at least minpriority

    Finalizers with highest priority are called first; finalizers with
    the same priority will be called in reverse order of creation.
    '''

该方法实际上运行了一个终结器回调列表并执行它们：

items = [x for x in _finalizer_registry.items() if f(x)]
items.sort(reverse=True)

for key, finalizer in items:
    sub_debug('calling %s', finalizer)
    try:
        finalizer()
    except Exception:
        import traceback
        traceback.print_exc()

完美。那么我们如何进入_finalizer_registry？ Finalize中有一个名为multiprocessing.util的未记录对象，负责向注册表添加回调：

class Finalize(object):
    '''
    Class which supports object finalization using weakrefs
    '''
    def __init__(self, obj, callback, args=(), kwargs=None, exitpriority=None):
        assert exitpriority is None or type(exitpriority) is int

        if obj is not None:
            self._weakref = weakref.ref(obj, self)
        else:
            assert exitpriority is not None

        self._callback = callback
        self._args = args
        self._kwargs = kwargs or {}
        self._key = (exitpriority, _finalizer_counter.next())
        self._pid = os.getpid()

        _finalizer_registry[self._key] = self  # That's what we're looking for!

好的，所以把它们放在一起作为一个例子：

import multiprocessing
from multiprocessing.util import Finalize

resource_cm = None
resource = None

class Resource(object):
    def __init__(self, args):
        self.args = args

    def __enter__(self):
        print("in __enter__ of %s" % multiprocessing.current_process())
        return self

    def __exit__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        print("in __exit__ of %s" % multiprocessing.current_process())

def open_resource(args):
    return Resource(args)

def _worker_init(args):
    global resource
    print("calling init")
    resource_cm = open_resource(args)
    resource = resource_cm.__enter__()
    # Register a finalizer
    Finalize(resource, resource.__exit__, exitpriority=16)

def hi(*args):
    print("we're in the worker")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    pool = multiprocessing.Pool(initializer=_worker_init, initargs=("abc",))
    pool.map(hi, range(pool._processes))
    pool.close()
    pool.join()

输出：

calling init
in __enter__ of <Process(PoolWorker-1, started daemon)>
calling init
calling init
in __enter__ of <Process(PoolWorker-2, started daemon)>
in __enter__ of <Process(PoolWorker-3, started daemon)>
calling init
in __enter__ of <Process(PoolWorker-4, started daemon)>
we're in the worker
we're in the worker
we're in the worker
we're in the worker
in __exit__ of <Process(PoolWorker-1, started daemon)>
in __exit__ of <Process(PoolWorker-2, started daemon)>
in __exit__ of <Process(PoolWorker-3, started daemon)>
in __exit__ of <Process(PoolWorker-4, started daemon)>

正如您所见__exit__，当我们join()我们的工作人员时，{{1}}会被调用。

您可以继承Process的子类并覆盖其run()方法，以便它在退出之前执行清除操作。然后，您应该将Pool子类化，以便它使用您子类化的过程：

from multiprocessing import Process
from multiprocessing.pool import Pool

class SafeProcess(Process):
    """ Process that will cleanup before exit """
    def run(self, *args, **kw):
        result = super().run(*args, **kw)
        # cleanup however you want here
        return result


class SafePool(Pool):
    Process = SafeProcess


pool = SafePool(4)  # use it as standard Pool
