I run in to race condition trouble while using mysql_conn:start/7.
I just begun to receive "unknown signal received" error messages simetimes.
As I understood problem is in this part of mysql_conn module:
start(Host, Port, User, Password, Database, LogFun, PoolId) ->
ConnPid = self(),
Pid = spawn(fun () ->
init(Host, Port, User, Password, Database,
LogFun, PoolId, ConnPid)
end),
post_start(Pid, LogFun).
...
%% part of start/6 or start_link/6:
post_start(Pid, LogFun) ->
receive
{mysql_conn, Pid, ok} ->
{ok, Pid};
{mysql_conn, Pid, {error, Reason}} ->
{error, Reason};
Unknown ->
?Log2(LogFun, error,
"received unknown signal, exiting: ~p", [Unknown]),
{error, "unknown signal received"}
after 5000 ->
{error, "timed out"}
end.
Function post_start executes in context of calling process.
And it is possible that this process will recieve other messages from
other processes and in this case it will generate error "unknown signal
received".
As a workaround now I just commented out Unknown case in receieve. Another
possibility is creating temporal process from which call mysql_conn:create.
But I think it's unnecessary complication.
