I'm writing a pthread server which takes requests from clients and sends them back a bunch of .ppm files. Everything seems to go well, but sometimes when I have just 1 client connected, when trying to read from the file descriptor (for the file), it says Bad file Descriptor. This doesn't make sense, since my int fd isn't -1, and the file most certainly exists. Other times, I get this "Socket operation on nonsocket"
error. This is weird because other times, it doesn't give me this
error and everything works fine.
When trying to connect multiple clients,
for some reason, it will only send correctly to one, and then the other client gets the bad file descriptor or "nonsocket"
error, even though both threads are processing the same
messages and do the same routines. Anyone have an idea why? Here's the code that is giving me that error:
while(mqueue.head != mqueue.tail && count < dis_m){
printf("Sending to client %s: %s\n", pointer->id, pointer->message);
int fd;
fd = open(pointer->message, O_RDONLY);
char buf[58368];
int bytesRead;
printf("This is fd %d\n", fd);
bytesRead=read(fd,buf,58368);
send(pointer->socket,buf,bytesRead,0);
perror("Error:\n");
fflush(stdout);
close(fd);
mqueue.mcount--;
mqueue.head = mqueue.head->next;
free(pointer->message);
free(pointer);
pointer = mqueue.head;
count++;
}
printf("Sending %s\n", pointer->message);
int fd;
fd = open(pointer->message, O_RDONLY);
printf("This is fd %d\n", fd);
printf("I am hhere2\n");
char buf[58368];
int bytesRead;
bytesRead=read(fd,buf,58368);
send(pointer->socket,buf,bytesRead,0);
perror("Error:\n");
close(fd);
mqueue.mcount--;
if(mqueue.head != mqueue.tail){
mqueue.head = mqueue.head->next;
}
else{
mqueue.head->next = malloc(sizeof(struct message));
mqueue.head = mqueue.head->next;
mqueue.head->next = malloc(sizeof(struct message));
mqueue.tail = mqueue.head->next;
mqueue.head->message = NULL;
}
free(pointer->message);
free(pointer);
pthread_mutex_unlock(&numm);
pthread_mutex_unlock(&circ);
pthread_mutex_unlock(&slots);
The
messages for both threads are the same, being of the form ./path/imageXX.ppm where XX is the number that should go to the client. The file size of each image is 58368 bytes.
Sometimes, this code hangs on the read, and stops execution. I don't know this would be either, because the file descriptor comes back as valid.
Thanks in advanced.
Edit:
Here's some sample output:

As you can see, who ever is serviced first in this instance can open the files, but not the 2nd person.
Edit2:
Full code. Sorry, its pretty long and terribly formatted.

Version 1
Here is what is implemented so far:
The threads are created from the arguments specified (number of threads that is)
The server will lock and update variables based on how many clients are in the system and such.
The socket that is opened when a new client connects, must be passed to the threads. To do this, we need some sort of global array. I did
this by specifying an int client and main_pool_busy, and two pointers poolsockets and nonpoolsockets.
My thinking on this was that when a new client enters the system, the server thread increments the variable client. When a thread is finished with this client (after it sends it the data), the thread will decrement client and close the socket. HTTP servers act this way sometimes (they terminate the socket as soon as one transmission is sent). *Note down at bottom
After the server portion increments the client counter, we must open up a new socket (denoted by new_sd) and get this value to the appropriate thread.
To do this, I created global array poolsockets, which will hold all the socket descriptors
for our pooled threads. The server portion gets the new socket descriptor, and places the value in the first spot of the array that has a 0. We only place a value in this array IF:
1. The variable main_pool_busy < worknum (If we have more clients in the system than in our pool, it doesn't mean we should always create a new thread.
At the end of this, the server signals on the condition variable clientin that a new client has arrived.
In our pooled thread, we then must walk this array and check the array until we hit our first non-zero value. This is the socket we will give to that thread. The thread then changes the array to have a zero here.
What if our all threads in our pool our busy?
If this is the case, then we will know it because our threads in this pool will increment main_pool_busy by one when they are working on a request and decrement it when they are done. If main_pool_busy >= worknum, then we must dynamically create a new thread. Then, we must realloc the size of our
nonpoolsockets array by 1 int. We then add the new socket descriptor to our pool.
Here's what we need to figure out:
NOTE* Each worker should generate 100
messages which specify the worker thread ID, client socket descriptor and a copy of the client message. Additionally, each message should include a message number, starting from 0 and incrementing
for each subsequent message sent to the same client.
I don't know how to keep track of how many
messages were to the same client. Maybe we shouldn't close the socket descriptor, but rather keep an array of structs
for each socket that includes how many
messages they have been sent. Then, the server adds the struct, the threads remove it, then the threads add it back once they've serviced one request (unless the count is 100).
