HttpClient GetAsync ThreadPool Starvation

我们有一个面向微服务的后端堆栈。所有微服务都构建在Nancy之上,并使用topshelf注册为Windows服务。

处理大多数流量(~5000 req / s)的服务之一,在8台服务器中的3台上开始出现线程池饥饿问题。

这是我们在点击特定端点时遇到的例外情况:

System.InvalidOperationException: There were not enough free threads in the ThreadPool to complete the operation.
   at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.BeginGetResponse(AsyncCallback callback, Object state)
   at System.Net.Http.HttpClientHandler.StartGettingResponse(RequestState state)
   at System.Net.Http.HttpClientHandler.StartRequest(Object obj)
--- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown ---

--- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown ---

--- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown ---

   at ProductModule.<>c__DisplayClass15.<<.ctor>b__b>d__1d.MoveNext() in ...\ProductModule.cs:line 32

此端点调用另一个服务 - 它不在我的团队的域中 - 以获取产品数据。其实施如下:

Get["/product/sku/{sku}", true] = async (parameters, ctx) =>
{
    string sku = parameters.sku;
    var product = await productService.GetBySkuAsync(sku);
    return Response.AsJson(new ProductRepresentation(product));
};

ProductService.GetBySkuAsync(string sku)实施:

public async Task<Product> GetBySkuAsync(string sku)
{
    var productDto = await randomNamedClient.GetProductBySkuAsync(sku);
    if (productDto == null)
    {
        throw new ProductDtoNotFoundException("sku", sku);
    }

    var variantDto = productDto.VariantList.FirstOrDefault(v => v.Sku == sku);

    if (variantDto == null)
    {
        throw new ProductVariantDtoNotFoundException("sku", sku);
    }

    return MapVariantDtoToProduct(variantDto, productDto);
}

RandomNamedClient.GetProductBySkuAsync(string sku)实现(来自内部包):

public async Task<ProductDto> GetProductBySkuAsync(string sku)
{
  HttpResponseMessage result = await this._serviceClient.GetAsync("Product?Sku=" + sku);
  return result == null || result.StatusCode != HttpStatusCode.OK ? (ProductDto) null : this.Decompress<ProductDto>(result);
}

RandomNamedClient.Decompress<T>(HttpResponseMessage response)实施:

private T Decompress<T>(HttpResponseMessage response)
{
  if (!response.Content.Headers.ContentEncoding.Contains("gzip"))
    return HttpContentExtensions.ReadAsAsync<T>(response.Content).Result;
  using (GZipStream gzipStream = new GZipStream((Stream) new MemoryStream(response.Content.ReadAsByteArrayAsync().Result), CompressionMode.Decompress))
  {
    byte[] buffer = new byte[8192];
    using (MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
    {
      int count;
      do
      {
        count = gzipStream.Read(buffer, 0, 8192);
        if (count > 0)
          memoryStream.Write(buffer, 0, count);
      }
      while (count > 0);
      return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(Encoding.UTF8.GetString(memoryStream.ToArray()));
    }
  }
}

我们所有的服务都是作为Release / 32位构建的。我们没有调整有关线程池使用的任何内容。

答案 0 :(得分:8)

我在这段代码中看到的最大问题是使用Decompress<T>阻止异步操作的Task.Result方法。这可能会阻止当前处理请求的线程对线程池的检索,或者更糟糕的是导致代码中的死锁(这正是您shouldn't block on async code的原因)。我不确定你是否已经看到这些请求被彻底处理,但是如果NancyFX正在为你处理同步上下文的编组(看起来像it does),那很可能是线程池饥饿的根本原因

您可以通过使所有IO处理在该方法async内工作来改变这一点,并利用这些类已经公开的自然异步API。或者,我绝对不建议这样做,你可以在任何地方使用ConfigureAwait(false)

旁注 - 您可以使用Stream.CopyToAsync()简化代码)

正确的异步实现如下所示:

private async Task<T> DecompressAsync<T>(HttpResponseMessage response)
{
    if (!response.Content.Headers.ContentEncoding.Contains("gzip"))
        return await response.Content.ReadAsAsync<T>();

    const int bufferSize = 8192;        
    using (GZipStream gzipStream = new GZipStream(
                                   new MemoryStream(
                                        await response.Content.ReadAsByteArrayAsync()), 
                                        CompressionMode.Decompress))
    using (MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
    {
        await gzipStream.CopyToAsync(memoryStream, bufferSize);
        return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(
                    Encoding.UTF8.GetString(memoryStream.ToArray()));
    }
}
