listener为何要进行fork两次子进程,针对这个问题,这篇文章详细介绍了相对应的分析和解答,希望可以帮助更多想解决这个问题的小伙伴找到更简单易行的方法。
大致分为6个阶段
1
客户端向数据库发起连接请求,listener负责响应接受;
2
Listener进程fork子进程1;
如果子进程1运行时间过长,则会导致listener长时间等待(期间不接受其他数据库连接);如果子进程1异常则listener会hang;--这句话质疑着很多,我也只是从相关资料摘抄的,没有试验根据
Ps –ef | grep tnslsnr显示的ppid!=1的进程便是
3
子进程1fork子进程2,然后前者退出;
此时listener等待接受子进程2的数据
4
子进程2执行系统调用exec oracle,变为oracle server process,其向listener发送自身元数据(比如pid)
5
Listener向server procees发送客户端数据,然后写入listener.log;
直到此刻listener任务完成,可以接着处理下一个连接
6
Server process与客户端交互,完成后续工作
问题:
为何listener要创建fork两次子进程,直接采用第一个子进程调用exec oracle不可以么?
以下是回复,个人受教很多

It's always a good habit to give reference, unless you find all this out completely from your own test.
I've done such test a long time ago. What you described is basically correct. But this
“如果子进程1运行时间过长,则会导致listener长时间等待(期间不接受其他数据库连接);如果子进程1异常则listener会hang”
is new to me. I'd like to know the source.
The reason why listener needs to fork twice is related to the requirement of a UNIX daemon. The best answer is here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questio ... n-creating-a-daemon
Basically, if it forked only once, the server (shadow) process would still have a parent i.e. the tnslsnr process instead of init (pid 1). Forking twice, after the first child exits, the second child will definitely become an orphan and then init becomes its parent.
You may ask why bother to make sure the server process is a daemon. I think the answer is just that Oracle wants to make sure the server process is independent of the listener, so if the listener dies, existing server processes continue to function because they're immune from signals that will be sent to the listener.

> Oracle为什么会这么想,也就无从得知了
Didn't you already answer this question? "Oracle的想法比较悲观,觉得父进程(listener)一定会异常". In case the listener crashes, the server process must be protected from crashing. Although I think it's possible to program the child to not receive any signal delivered to the parent (tnslsnr), it's safer to just fork one more time and let the first child exit.
I haven't checked 12c. But I think somebody says beginning with 12c, Oracle on UNIX/Linux adopts the thread model as on Windows. Hope somebody can check.

1、Oracle采用doule fork主要你是为了预防子进程退出时,listener已经crash了,子进程成为僵死进程没有解决策略。至于"in case the listener crashes, the server process must be protected from crashing",父进程crash,子进程仍然可以正常运行,只是子进程调用exit之后,会成为僵死进程。
2、“> Oracle为什么会这么想,也就无从得知了
Didn't you already answer this question? "Oracle的想法比较悲观,觉得父进程(listener)一定会异常". ”我只是从技术层面猜测一下,而且,在上面的猜测里,double fork的方法作为一个server的网络处理方式,在2013年7月27日看来,弊大于利。
3、我个人觉得这种double fork的方式更多的是从DBA的管理上来设计的。因为Oracle提供listener的start/stop/restart接口。如果没有采用double fork方式,一旦listener stop了,所有的server process必然成为孤儿进程(此时,server process可能正在执行复杂的transaction,风险太大),而server process显然不应该在“正式干活”的时候受到listener的运行状态的影响,所以直接在一开始就把这个有风险的操作主动做了,掌握控制权。
