经过两个多月的攻关，终于搞定了live555多线程并稳定压测通过

live555已经发展了十几年了，不得不钦佩作者坚持不懈的奉献和国外的开源生态环境，live555可以说是大部分的安防从业者的入门之选，尤其是在嵌入式或者Linux系统上，其应用还是蛮广泛的，主要是其兼容性和稳定性；

但是随着live555十几年的不断迭代，很多开发者反复向作者Ross提到的多线程和IPv6的功能，作者也一直都没有去尝试，可能是这样会对live555的架构产生比较大的改动和影响，作者为了稳妥，选择了小改动、稳定、逐步迭代的方式, 虽然是性能稳定，但支持的路数有限，不能多线程工作始终是个坎; 网上找到几篇live555多线程的博客, 基本上大同小异，就是创建独立的UsageEnvironment和TaskSchedule, 由独立的线程分工协作; 本人也是这个思路,创建多个工作线程,每个工作线程内创建UsageEnvironment和TaskSchedule,然后各自开启EventLoop;

今天我们抛砖引玉，先大概聊一下主体思路，在后续的博客中将尽力完整地汇总这些思路和开发的过程：

目标

将live555修改为多线程, 每个通道对应一个工作线程,由工作线程对该通道进行独立处理;

大体修改点

修改支持多线程, 主要涉及到以下类的修改

• GenericMediaServer
• RTSPServer

GenericMediaServer.cpp
在GenericMediaServer的构造函数中, 创建工作线程个数,即最大支持的通道数;

GenericMediaServer
::GenericMediaServer(UsageEnvironment& env, int ourSocketV4, int ourSocketV6, Port ourPort,
             unsigned reclamationSeconds)
  : Medium(env),
    fServerSocket4(ourSocketV4), fServerSocket6(ourSocketV6), 
    fServerPort(ourPort), fReclamationSeconds(reclamationSeconds),
    fServerMediaSessions(HashTable::create(STRING_HASH_KEYS)),
    fClientConnections(HashTable::create(ONE_WORD_HASH_KEYS)),
    fClientSessions(HashTable::create(STRING_HASH_KEYS)) {
  ignoreSigPipeOnSocket(fServerSocket4); // so that clients on the same host that are killed don't also kill us
  ignoreSigPipeOnSocket(fServerSocket6); // so that clients on the same host that are killed don't also kill us


#ifdef LIVE_MULTI_THREAD_ENABLE

  InitMutex(&mutexClientConnection);

  memset(&multiThreadCore, 0x00, sizeof(MultiThread_CORE_T));
  multiThreadCore.threadNum = MAX_DEFAULT_MULTI_THREAD_NUM;
  multiThreadCore.threadTask = new LIVE_THREAD_TASK_T[multiThreadCore.threadNum];
  memset(&multiThreadCore.threadTask[0], 0x00, sizeof(LIVE_THREAD_TASK_T) * multiThreadCore.threadNum);
  for (int i=0; i<multiThreadCore.threadNum; i++)
  {
      char szName[36] = {0};
      sprintf(szName, "worker thread %d", i);
      multiThreadCore.threadTask[i].id = i;
      multiThreadCore.threadTask[i].extPtr = this;
      multiThreadCore.threadTask[i].pSubScheduler = BasicTaskScheduler::createNew();
      multiThreadCore.threadTask[i].pSubEnv = BasicUsageEnvironment::createNew(*multiThreadCore.threadTask[i].pSubScheduler, i+1, szName);

      CreateOSThread( &multiThreadCore.threadTask[i].osThread, __OSThread_Proc, (void *)&multiThreadCore.threadTask[i] );


  }
#endif

  // Arrange to handle connections from others:
  env.taskScheduler().turnOnBackgroundReadHandling(fServerSocket4, incomingConnectionHandler4, this);
  env.taskScheduler().turnOnBackgroundReadHandling(fServerSocket6, incomingConnectionHandler6, this);
} 

接受客户端连接

按原有流程接受客户端连接;

分配客户端请求

在收到客户端发送的DESCRIBE命令后,
在通道列表中找出空闲的通道，将该客户端关联到该通道, 然后从主线程中移除该socket, 由工作线程接管该socket的操作;
后续有客户端如访问已经存在的通道,则主线程会将该请求直接分配给对应的工作线程处理;

注意: 主线程的工作到此结束，不要执行lookupServerMediaSession的操作;

在工作线程中, 接管客户端的socket后, 马上执行lookupServerMediaSession, 在该函数中，将后缀回调给上层调用程序, 由上层调用程序判断是否存在该通道，如不存在则返回失败，如存在则向前端取流，然后填充媒体信息返回成功, 库内部则创建相应的mediasession, 再回应客户端, 后续的则完成整个rtsp流程的交互;

注意: 创建MediaSession时，必须将工作线程中的UsageEnvironment传进去, 不能使用主线程中的envir();

int RTSPServer::RTSPClientConnection
::handleCmd_DESCRIBE(UsageEnvironment *pEnv, char const* urlPreSuffix, char const* urlSuffix, char const* fullRequestStr, LIVE_THREAD_TASK_T **pThreadTask) 
{
    int handleCmdRet = 0;

  ServerMediaSession* session = NULL;
  char* sdpDescription = NULL;
  char* rtspURL = NULL;
  do {
    char urlTotalSuffix[2*RTSP_PARAM_STRING_MAX];
        // enough space for urlPreSuffix/urlSuffix''
    urlTotalSuffix[0] = '';
    if (urlPreSuffix[0] != '') {
      strcat(urlTotalSuffix, urlPreSuffix);
      strcat(urlTotalSuffix, "/");
    }
    strcat(urlTotalSuffix, urlSuffix);

    if (!authenticationOK("DESCRIBE", urlTotalSuffix, fullRequestStr)) break;

    // We should really check that the request contains an "Accept:" #####
    // for "application/sdp", because that's what we're sending back #####



    _TRACE(TRACE_LOG_DEBUG, "handleCmd_DESCRIBE  socket[%d]
", this->fOurSocket);


    #ifdef LIVE_MULTI_THREAD_ENABLE


    //如果当前是主线程,则进入到查找通道流程
    if (pEnv->GetEnvirId() == 1000)
    {
        fOurServer.LockClientConnection();  //Lock

        UsageEnvironment  *pChEnv = fOurServer.GetEnvBySuffix(urlSuffix, this, pThreadTask);
        if (NULL == pChEnv)
        {
            fOurServer.UnlockClientConnection();        //Unlock

            handleCmdRet = -1;

            this->assignSink = False;
            this->pEnv = NULL;
            handleCmd_notFound();
            break;
        }
        else
        {
            _TRACE(TRACE_LOG_DEBUG, "将socket[%d] 关联到[%s]
", this->fOurSocket, pChEnv->GetEnvirName());

            //将socket从主线程移到工作线程中
            UsageEnvironment  *pMainEnv = &envir();
            envir().taskScheduler().disableBackgroundHandling(fOurSocket);

            fOurServer.UnlockClientConnection();        //Unlock

            return 1000;
        }

        break;
    }

    #endif


    // Begin by looking up the "ServerMediaSession" object for the specified "urlTotalSuffix":


    //在工作线程中执行 lookupServerMediaSession
    session = fOurServer.lookupServerMediaSession(pEnv, 1, this, urlTotalSuffix);
    if (session == NULL) {

        //pChEnv->taskScheduler().disableBackgroundHandling(fOurSocket);

        _TRACE(TRACE_LOG_DEBUG, "socket[%d] 在[%s]中, 源未就绪[%s]
", this->fOurSocket, pEnv->GetEnvirName(), urlTotalSuffix);

        handleCmdRet = -1;

        //envir().taskScheduler().disableBackgroundHandling(fOurSocket);

        //fOurServer.ResetEnvBySuffix(urlSuffix, this);

        handleCmd_notFound();

        break;
    }

    session->incrementReferenceCount();

    // Then, assemble a SDP description for this session:
    sdpDescription = session->generateSDPDescription(fOurIPVer);
    if (sdpDescription == NULL) {
      // This usually means that a file name that was specified for a
      // "ServerMediaSubsession" does not exist.
      setRTSPResponse("404 File Not Found, Or In Incorrect Format");

      break;
    }

    unsigned sdpDescriptionSize = strlen(sdpDescription);

    // Also, generate our RTSP URL, for the "Content-Base:" header
    // (which is necessary to ensure that the correct URL gets used in subsequent "SETUP" requests).
    rtspURL = fOurRTSPServer.rtspURL(session, fOurIPVer, fClientInputSocket);

    snprintf((char*)fResponseBuffer, sizeof fResponseBuffer,
         "RTSP/1.0 200 OK
CSeq: %s
"
         "%s"
         "Content-Base: %s/

         "Content-Type: application/sdp

         "Content-Length: %d

         "%s",
         fCurrentCSeq,
         dateHeader(),
         rtspURL,
         sdpDescriptionSize,
         sdpDescription);
  } while (0);

  if (session != NULL) {
    // Decrement its reference count, now that we're done using it:
    session->decrementReferenceCount();
    if (session->referenceCount() == 0 && session->deleteWhenUnreferenced()) {
      fOurServer.removeServerMediaSession(pEnv, session, True);
    }

    session->SetStreamStatus(1);        //置标志,让后续访问该通道的客户端可以得到迅速响应
  }

  delete[] sdpDescription;
  delete[] rtspURL;

  return handleCmdRet;
}

历经2个多月，终于将多线程问题搞定. 在此记录一下, 欢迎探讨;

目前用户测试反馈的情况是：

• 连续压测8天时间；
• 接入摄像机30台；
• 客户端反复启动/停止播放；
• 内存、CPU、程序均非常稳定！
