FPM: keepalived connection with fastcgi_finish_request causes dead lock

Description

The following code:

<?php

$pid = getmypid();
echo 'pid:', $pid, ', start@', $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT'], ', elapsed: ', microtime(true) - $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT'], PHP_EOL;

if (isset($_GET['later'])) {
    if ($_GET['later'] === '1') {
        // using PR's version
        // $c = fastcgi_finish_request(true) ? 'modified:true' : 'modified:false';
        $c = fastcgi_finish_request() ? 'raw:true' : 'raw:false';
    } else {
        $c = fastcgi_finish_request() ? 'raw:true' : 'raw:false';
    }
    $ret = req(['pid' => $pid, 'sleep' => 5, 'c' => $c]);
    var_dump($ret);
} elseif (isset($_GET['sleep'])) {
    sleep((int)$_GET['sleep']);
} else {
    echo 'nothing', PHP_EOL;
}
$now = microtime(true);

echo 'pid:', $pid, ', end@', $now, ', elapsed: ', $now - $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT'], PHP_EOL;


function req(array $args) {
    $tFmt = (new DateTime())->format('Y.m.d.H-i-s.u');
    $path = basename(__FILE__);
    $url = "{$_SERVER['REQUEST_SCHEME']}://{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}/{$path}?reqAt={$tFmt}&" . http_build_query($args);
    return file_get_contents($url, false, stream_context_create([
        'http' => [
            'method'  => 'POST',
            'timeout' => 10,
            'header'  => 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
            'content' => http_build_query([
                'a' => 1,
                'b' => 2,
            ]),
        ],
    ]));
}

with FPM settings:

pm = static
pm.max_children = 2

// uncomment if wanna to see access info via fpm access log
; access.format = "%R - %u %t - %T \"%m %r%Q%q\" %s %f %{kilo}M %C%% %p-%P %{mili}d"
; access.log = /path/to/php/fpm-$pool.access.log

and NGINX settings:

## PHP-FPM upstream
upstream PHP_FCGI {
    ## path to fpm listen address
    server 127.0.0.1:9007;

    keepalive 2;
    keepalive_requests 1000;
    keepalive_timeout 60s;
}

## enable fastcgi keepalive
fastcgi_keep_conn on;

server {
    ....
    location = /fpm.php {
        root /path/to/php-file-root/;

        fastcgi_pass PHP_FCGI;
        fastcgi_split_path_info  ^((?U).+\.php)((?s)/.*)$;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param  PATH_INFO  $fastcgi_path_info;
        include        fastcgi_params;
    }
    ....
}

This is easy to reproduced by the above desc, IMHO the log is clearly show’s the current PHP‘s behavior is something error.
the reason I think is after proc-X called fastcgi_finish_request this connection is marked reuseable by proxy and if the same process soon req same host the proxy might select the same connection then deadlock happens.

this also can be showing by GDB/tcpdump

so I made this https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/10273

PHP Version

7.4-8.2

Operating System

Ubuntu 20.04

Inizia con il reproducer PHP e le configurazioni PHP-FPM e NGINX nell’issue, quindi confronta il comportamento di fastcgi_finish_request() con la modifica proposta in PR 10273. Riproduci il deadlock keepalive usando i comandi e i log forniti; il lavoro è completato quando la richiesta termina senza il deadlock della connessione e corrisponde alla risposta e alle tempistiche previste.
