探讨 : Host在IIS上的WCF Service的执行方式

一个WCF请求由两个线程来完成

 

运行在IIS上的WCF service, 你可能会注意到一个比较有趣的现象. 当WCF service接收到一个请求时, 这个请求实际上会有两个线程在执行这个请求.

  • 一个线程是来自于CLR的ThreadPool的线程. 这是一个Worker Thread用于接收.svc页面的访问请求.
  • 另外一个线程是 I/O 线程, 用于执行WCF的逻辑.

 

你可以参考下面的实例代码. 该代码用于模拟一个WCF执行时间比较长的场景.

 

[ServiceContract]
public interface IService1
{
    [OperationContract]
    string GetData(int value);
}

public class Service1 : IService1
{
    public string GetData(int value)
    {
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(value * 1000);

        return string.Format("You slept : {0} seconds", value);
    }

}

 

如果是.NET Framework 3.5, 您会在运行时看到类似的CALL STACK. 线程26 正在执行一个Service1.svc的请求. 整个请求正是一个WCF的请求. 从CALL STACK上看, 这个线程已经被挂起, 并且等待一个异步线程的返回.

通过!threads命令, 可以验证这个线程是一个Worker Thread. 在这一点上, .svc页面的请求与.aspx页面的请求, 并没有太多的区别.

这个请求正是  I/O 线程来执行, 从Managed的Call Stack上可以看出来是执行了上面实例代码的Service1.GetData的方法.

在Native的Callstack中, mscorwks!ThreadpoolMgr::CompletionPortThreadStart 说明了这里开始的是一个I/O线程. 通过 !thread 命令, 同样也可以验证出这个是I/O线程.

异步请求的执行

 

非常不同于原先Web Page和Web Servcie的执行方式. Web Page和Web Servcie均由ASP.NET的Worker Thread来执行请求. WCF最为显著的特点即是异步执行.

这一优势体现在 : WCF应用有更高的灵活性. 能够同一时间平行的执行不同的操作请求. 在WCF操作执行完成之后, 将CALLBACK到之前用于handle页面请求的线程上. 并由这个线程(WorkerThread)来进行返回. 从而提供了WCF服务的吞吐量.

传统的Web Page和Web Service, 当终端客户发起一个请求的时候, 总是会期待服务器端返回一个结果. 因此, 如果发起的请求在服务器端遇到了一些瓶颈, 造成长时间的执行. 客户端也必然需要处于等待状态.

在这种WCF的执行模式下, WCF客户端可以运行在Fire And Forget的模式下. 在有些情况下, 客户端只希望向服务器端发送一个执行请求, 但是并不在乎服务器端执行的结果, 因此也没有必要等待服务器端的返回. 只是的将执行请求提交到WCF服务端, 剩下的事情由WCF服务端来完成. 也不希望收到WCF服务端执行时间长短的影响. 如果有这种需要, 可以运行在fire and forget的模式下. 页面请求在Worker Thread接收后, 按照正常的步骤异步调用I/O线程并且执行WCF的操作.于此同时Worker Thread 可以立即返回响应客户端.

WCF 4.5上的改进

 

上面已经讨论了很多WCF请求是如何又两个线程来执行的, 以及这种方式的优点. 然而, 这种方式在.NET FRAMEWROK 3.5上依然有一些缺陷.

按照上面的示例. 当请求到达WCF Servcie后, 服务端会启动两个线程. 一个Worker Thread和一个 I/O Completion Port. Worker Thread用于接收.svc页面的请求, 并且等待IOCP的执行完成然后返回到客户端. IOCP则运用WCF的操作. 在代码中, WCF的操作会sleep一段时间, 用于模拟长时间的操作. 在这种情况下, 我们可以看到Work Thread是一直处于等待状态.

这种情况下会产生一个问题. 如果WCF的操作都非常耗时, 而且此时业务非常繁忙. 进程的线程池有可能很快就会耗尽. 而且这些线程看起来无所事事, 绝大多数都在等待WCF操作的返回而已. 这显然造成了一种浪费. 在提高异步执行能力的同时, 增加的线程已经虚拟内存的消耗. 即使不在执行任何工作, 线程本身也需要使用一定的虚内内存.

这一问题在.NET FRAMWORK 4.5中得到了一定的改进.

当请求到来时, 同样由两个线程来提供服务. 一个线程是来自于CLR的ThreadPool的线程. 这是一个Worker Thread用于接收.svc页面的访问请求. 另外一个线程是 I/O 线程, 用于执行WCF的逻辑. 当请求递交给IOCP之后, Worker Thread并没有一直处于等待状态, 而将已经创建好的HttpContext固定在适当的位置. 它会PINNED在一个HandleTable (strong handle). 以确保这个HttpContext不会被意外的回收. 然后 这个Worker Thread会回到线程池等待分配下一个工作.

在IOCP完成工作需要将结果返回给客户端的时候, 线程池会调度一个线程将对应的HttContext重新拾起, 将需要返回的结果返回给客户端.

 

下面的内容是.NET FRAMWORK 4.5上的运行时态的示例.

执行WCF请求的线程并没有太多的变化. 从Managed的CALL STACK上看, 它依然是一个IOCP, 并且最后Call到了我们的示例代码中进行了休眠.

主要的区别在于, 我们虽然能找到与之相关的HttpContext, 然后这个HttpContext当前并没有执行在任何一个线程上.在完成IOCP的调用后, 该Worker Thread已经返回了线程池.

总结

 

运行在IIS上的WCF service, 请求实际上会有两个线程在执行这个请求.

  • 一个线程是来自于CLR的ThreadPool的线程. 这是一个Worker Thread用于接收.svc页面的访问请求.
  • 另外一个线程是 I/O 线程, 用于执行WCF的逻辑.

 

这种模式提高了WCF服务的吞吐量, 也使得WCF具有更高的灵活性.

在.NET FRAMWORK 3.5中, Worker Thread会被挂起, 并且一直等待IOCP的返回. 这中模式造成了Worker Thread的资源浪费. 在 4.5上, 这一模式得到了改进. Worker Thread在调用IOCP之后会回到线程池. 在必要的时候线程池会重新分配线程进行下一步的操作.
