Hello,
what would be the drawback of having sip_msg being all the time in
shared memory? Would pkg vs shm operations have relevant impact?
Yes.
From personal observations, most of the requests
(over 95%) end in TM
module (to absorb retransmission or to forward) where the sip_msg s
moved to shm. It would make things simpler for tm callbacks and related
routes (no need to move back/forward from/to pkg/shm). Parsing will
happen always once, as now cloning to shm in tm discards some parsed
headers, which may be needed in failure route or callbacks.
Havin a non-shm copy helps with locking and with moving cache lines
between cpus.
as lot of processing is done with the message in shm anyhow, I tried to
figure out the impact of the rest of processing. So you say that is
better to copy to pkg and re-parse, than working with shm structures.
The access is not sync'ed, as there will be same usage - in one process
- just the alloc/free will be different.
Cheers,
Daniel
