@diosmosis just looking at https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/blob/3.4.0/core/CronArchive/SharedSiteIds.php#L127 I notice the runExclusive
is actually not that exclusive because it is only exclusive per server but when different servers try to execute, this would be still allowed even though they shouldn't.
For this we would as well need a lock in the DB eg a Memory table. However, by pid
wouldn't work here (like we did in the other plugin) as it may be executed from various servers and the pid
wouldn't be existing on another server. It is nothing of big importance right now but needs to be looked at when doing this change.
That's why I called it an 'InterprocessLock', won't work between servers. I think the queued tracking locking mechanism you wrote for the mysql backend would work for this use case? Could put that into a 'InterServerLock' class or something w/ a better name.
Yes I think that one should work across servers.
If someone needs this again please ping me and I can maybe provide some code for a LocalLock
(lock per server) and a GlobalLock
(lock across servers)
Dealing with concurrency occurs a lot when working on Matomo, but there are no re-usable, proven implementations. We should add a locking mechanism that satisfies the following conditions:
register_shutdown_function()
function that, for safety, unlocks all locks held by the current process.
