router: Avoid large up-front allocations#421
Conversation
We initially opted to pre-allocate the delay queue to avoid allocation at runtime. However, practically, router capacities are _much_ higher than their typical usage; so we incur an extra ~1MB+ of allocation that will never really be used (for outbound routers). This change initializes the router's DelayQueue with only a single slot by default. The capacity will be increased at runtime as needed.

So Cache.values is created with a size of 0 and therefore does not allocate until an item is inserted. Should expirations also just use DelayQueue::default() so that both allocate for the first time when an item is inserted?

@kleimkuhler the thought was that we'll ~never create routers that have no services. Or that will be pretty rare. But it's not a particularly important optimization. |
Yep makes sense. It was more coming from the fact that we already have an allocation to make when a service is added since |

Either way though looks good!
This release fixes a bug in the proxy's logging subsystem that could cause the proxy to consume memory until the process is OOMKilled, especially when the proxy was configured to log diagnostic information. The proxy also now properly emits `grpc-status` headers when signaling proxy errors to gRPC clients. This release upgrades the proxy's Rust version, the `http` crate dependency to address RUSTSEC-2019-0033 and RUSTSEC-2019-0034, and the `prost` crate dependency has been patched to address RUSTSEC-2020-02. --- * internal: Introduce a locking middleware (linkerd/linkerd2-proxy#408) * Update to Rust 1.40 with new Cargo.lock format (linkerd/linkerd2-proxy#410) * Update http to v0.1.21 (linkerd/linkerd2-proxy#412) * internal: Split retry, http-classify, and http-metrics (linkerd/linkerd2-proxy#409) * Actually update http to v0.1.21 (linkerd/linkerd2-proxy#413) * patch `prost` 0.5 to pick up security fix (linkerd/linkerd2-proxy#414) * metrics: Make Counter & Gauge atomic (linkerd/linkerd2-proxy#415) * Set grpc-status headers on dispatch errors (linkerd/linkerd2-proxy#416) * trace: update `tracing-subscriber` to 0.2.0-alpha.4 (linkerd/linkerd2-proxy#418) * discover: Warn on discovery error (linkerd/linkerd2-proxy#422) * router: Avoid large up-front allocations (linkerd/linkerd2-proxy#421) * errors: Set correct HTTP version on responses (linkerd/linkerd2-proxy#424) * app: initialize tracing prior to parsing env vars (linkerd/linkerd2-proxy#425) * trace: update tracing-subscriber to 0.2.0-alpha.6 (linkerd/linkerd2-proxy#423)
