Olivier Houchard 131113bbe5 MEDIUM: queues: Introduce a new field to know if queues are empty.
Proxies and servers both have a queueslength entry, that indicates how
many entries there are in their request queues. Those can get a lot of
contention, and they are often accessed just to know if the queue is
empty or not, which it will always be when there is no maxconn.
So for both, introduce a new field, "queues_not_empty", in a different,
less contended cache line, and use it every time we just want to know if
the queue is empty or not.
Those are only changed when the queues goes from empty to non-empty, and
vice-versa, which hopefully should not be too often.
For proxies, they are protected by the proxy lock. For servers, they are
protected by a new lock contained in the server, the status_lock.
In both case, to prevent any race condition, once the relevant lock is
held, the value of queueslength should be checked again before deciding
to change or not queues_not_empty, to prevent any race condition.
