Tomcat7 Acceptor线程学习

定位

监听TCP连接的后台线程，并转发给适当的处理器。

tomcat源码注释：
/**
* The background thread that listens for incoming TCP/IP connections and
* hands them off to an appropriate processor.
*/

类结构

Acceptor作为内部类定义在AbstractEndpoint中（AbstractEndpoint是一个抽象类,提供了实现框架，不同的协议需要提供不同的Endpoint.这个类的作用就是提供底层的网络I/O的处理），实现了Runnable接口。Http1.1默认采用BIO，Endpoint实现类用的JIoEndpoint。
有3种不同的Acceptor

父类中定义了其状态和线程名称

public abstract static class Acceptor implements Runnable {
        public enum AcceptorState {
            NEW, RUNNING, PAUSED, ENDED
        }

        protected volatile AcceptorState state = AcceptorState.NEW;
        public final AcceptorState getState() {
            return state;
        }

        private String threadName;
        protected final void setThreadName(final String threadName) {
            this.threadName = threadName;
        }
        protected final String getThreadName() {
            return threadName;
        }
    }

线程属性

线程名称

http-bio-[InetAddress]-[port]-Acceptor-Number 如：默认为http-bio-8080-Acceptor-0

优先级

线程默认优先级，5

是否Daemon

default 守护线程模式运行

线程个数

tomcat7 默认启动1个 Acceptor线程，多颗CPU的话可配置更大一点。

<attribute name="acceptorThreadCount" required="false">
      <p>The number of threads to be used to accept connections. Increase this
      value on a multi CPU machine, although you would never really need more
      than <code>2</code>. Also, with a lot of non keep alive connections, you
      might want to increase this value as well. Default value is
      <code>1</code>.</p>
    </attribute>

具体所做的事情

running状态

1. 获取一个Connector连接，如果已达到最大连接数将等待

//if we have reached max connections, wait
                    countUpOrAwaitConnection();

2 调用serverSocket.accept方法监听连接请求
3 将socket上的请求转发给工作线程池，转发成功则该socket可以被复用，是keep-alive的；否则会关闭该socket，并将Connector可用连接数+1.
4 循环上述步骤1-3.
