Bug 25385 – memcached's php client can run in an infinite loop

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Stuart Herbert (RETIRED) 2003-07-27 13:46:40 UTC]

I've had this happen when memcached segfaulted partway through operation ...
there may be other ways to reproduce this fault.

Basically, the PHP client goes into an infinite loop trying to get a valid
socket to a server.  Because no socket is available, the loop never exits (until
it exceeds the PHP execution time limit).

I've attached a patch to fix this.





Reproducible: Always

Patch with fix for _set() robustness problem

This patch has the inifinite loop fix, and also traps a problem where the
expiry time would not be passed across the network to memcached.

With these patches, the PHP client is now working for me on a production
machine (so far ;-)

Latest diff for improved robustness

This latest patch further improves the robustness of the PHP API when memcached
is unavailable.

I'm going to incorporate these diffs into the ebuild while waiting for a new release.

Look for -r1 to be out with some cheap hack to get around start-stop-daemon (init script) and these patches some time Tuesday.

gonna close this since 1.1.7 is out and the php api was retouched
