在python的concurrent.futures中查找BrokenProcessPool的原因

标签: python debugging concurrent.futures

简而言之

我将代码与BrokenProcessPool并行化时出现concurrent.futures异常。不会显示进一步的错误。我想找出错误的原因并询问如何做到这一点的想法。

完整问题

我正在使用concurrent.futures来并行化一些代码。

with ProcessPoolExecutor() as pool:
    mapObj = pool.map(myMethod, args)

我最终得到(并且只有)以下异常:

concurrent.futures.process.BrokenProcessPool: A child process terminated abruptly, the process pool is not usable anymore

不幸的是,该程序很复杂,只有在程序运行30分钟后才会出现错误。因此,我无法提供一个很好的最小例子。

为了找到问题的原因,我用try-except-block包装了我运行的方法:

def myMethod(*args):
    try:
        ...
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)

问题仍然存在,并且从未输入过块。我得出结论,异常并非来自我的代码。

我的下一步是编写一个自定义ProcessPoolExecutor类,它是原始ProcessPoolExecutor的子类,并允许我用cusomized方法替换某些方法。我复制并粘贴了方法_process_worker的原始代码,并添加了一些打印语句。

def _process_worker(call_queue, result_queue):
    """Evaluates calls from call_queue and places the results in result_queue.
        ...
    """
    while True:
        call_item = call_queue.get(block=True)
        if call_item is None:
            # Wake up queue management thread
            result_queue.put(os.getpid())
            return
        try:
            r = call_item.fn(*call_item.args, **call_item.kwargs)
        except BaseException as e:
                print("??? Exception ???")                 # newly added
                print(e)                                   # newly added
            exc = _ExceptionWithTraceback(e, e.__traceback__)
            result_queue.put(_ResultItem(call_item.work_id, exception=exc))
        else:
            result_queue.put(_ResultItem(call_item.work_id,
                                         result=r))

同样,永远不会输入except块。这是可以预料到的,因为我已经确保我的代码不会引发异常(如果一切正常,则异常应该传递给主进程)。

现在我缺乏想法如何找到错误。这里引发了例外:

def submit(self, fn, *args, **kwargs):
    with self._shutdown_lock:
        if self._broken:
            raise BrokenProcessPool('A child process terminated '
                'abruptly, the process pool is not usable anymore')
        if self._shutdown_thread:
            raise RuntimeError('cannot schedule new futures after shutdown')

        f = _base.Future()
        w = _WorkItem(f, fn, args, kwargs)

        self._pending_work_items[self._queue_count] = w
        self._work_ids.put(self._queue_count)
        self._queue_count += 1
        # Wake up queue management thread
        self._result_queue.put(None)

        self._start_queue_management_thread()
        return f

此处设置了进程池:

def _queue_management_worker(executor_reference,
                             processes,
                             pending_work_items,
                             work_ids_queue,
                             call_queue,
                             result_queue):
    """Manages the communication between this process and the worker processes.
        ...
    """
    executor = None

    def shutting_down():
        return _shutdown or executor is None or executor._shutdown_thread

    def shutdown_worker():
        ...

    reader = result_queue._reader

    while True:
        _add_call_item_to_queue(pending_work_items,
                                work_ids_queue,
                                call_queue)

        sentinels = [p.sentinel for p in processes.values()]
        assert sentinels
        ready = wait([reader] + sentinels)
        if reader in ready:
            result_item = reader.recv()
        else:                               #THIS BLOCK IS ENTERED WHEN THE ERROR OCCURS
            # Mark the process pool broken so that submits fail right now.
            executor = executor_reference()
            if executor is not None:
                executor._broken = True
                executor._shutdown_thread = True
                executor = None
            # All futures in flight must be marked failed
            for work_id, work_item in pending_work_items.items():
                work_item.future.set_exception(
                    BrokenProcessPool(
                        "A process in the process pool was "
                        "terminated abruptly while the future was "
                        "running or pending."
                    ))
                # Delete references to object. See issue16284
                del work_item
            pending_work_items.clear()
            # Terminate remaining workers forcibly: the queues or their
            # locks may be in a dirty state and block forever.
            for p in processes.values():
                p.terminate()
            shutdown_worker()
            return
        ...

这是(或似乎是)一个过程终止的事实,但我不知道为什么。到目前为止我的想法是否正确? 在没有消息的情况下使进程终止的可能原因是什么? (这甚至可能吗?)我可以在哪里进一步诊断?我应该问自己哪些问题才能更接近解决方案?

我在64位Linux上使用python 3.5。

我想我能够尽可能地获得:

我更改了更改后的_queue_management_worker模块中的ProcessPoolExecutor方法,以便打印失败进程的退出代码:

def _queue_management_worker(executor_reference,
                             processes,
                             pending_work_items,
                             work_ids_queue,
                             call_queue,
                             result_queue):
    """Manages the communication between this process and the worker processes.
        ...
    """
    executor = None

    def shutting_down():
        return _shutdown or executor is None or executor._shutdown_thread

    def shutdown_worker():
        ...

    reader = result_queue._reader

    while True:
        _add_call_item_to_queue(pending_work_items,
                                work_ids_queue,
                                call_queue)

        sentinels = [p.sentinel for p in processes.values()]
        assert sentinels
        ready = wait([reader] + sentinels)
        if reader in ready:
            result_item = reader.recv()
        else:                               

            # BLOCK INSERTED FOR DIAGNOSIS ONLY ---------
            vals = list(processes.values())
            for s in ready:
                j = sentinels.index(s)
                print("is_alive()", vals[j].is_alive())
                print("exitcode", vals[j].exitcode)
            # -------------------------------------------


            # Mark the process pool broken so that submits fail right now.
            executor = executor_reference()
            if executor is not None:
                executor._broken = True
                executor._shutdown_thread = True
                executor = None
            # All futures in flight must be marked failed
            for work_id, work_item in pending_work_items.items():
                work_item.future.set_exception(
                    BrokenProcessPool(
                        "A process in the process pool was "
                        "terminated abruptly while the future was "
                        "running or pending."
                    ))
                # Delete references to object. See issue16284
                del work_item
            pending_work_items.clear()
            # Terminate remaining workers forcibly: the queues or their
            # locks may be in a dirty state and block forever.
            for p in processes.values():
                p.terminate()
            shutdown_worker()
            return
        ...

之后我查了退出代码的含义:

from multiprocessing.process import _exitcode_to_name
print(_exitcode_to_name[my_exit_code])

其中my_exit_code是我插入_queue_management_worker的块中打印的退出代码。在我的例子中,代码是-11,这意味着我遇到了分段错误。找出这个问题的原因将是一项艰巨的任务,但超出了这个问题的范围。

答案 1 :(得分:1)

如果您使用的是macOS,则存在某些版本的macOS如何使用分支的已知问题,在某些情况下,Python认为这是不安全的。对我有用的解决方法是使用no_proxy环境变量。

编辑〜/ .bash_profile并包括以下内容(最好在此处指定域或子网列表,而不是*)

no_proxy='*'

刷新当前上下文

source ~/.bash_profile

我看到并解决过的本地版本是:Python 3.6.0 on macOS 10.14.1和10.13.x
