Beta Branch add pm.max_spawn_rate for PHP 8.1 only in 123.09beta01

add pm.max_spawn_rate for PHP 8.1 only in 123.09beta01

---

- add to /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.conf pm.max_spawn_rate php-fpm directive https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration81.new-features.php#migration81.new-features.fpm for adjustable setting for PHP 8.1 only for initial PHP 8.1 default Centmin Mod installs or for PHP upgrades when you set FPM_MAX_SPAWN_RATE variable value to greater than 32 (default value) in persistent config file /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc prior to running centmin.sh menu option 5 PHP updates and remove pm.max_spawn_rate directive if PHP <8.1 is detected at centmin.sh menu option 5 PHP update time
- before PHP 8.1, lower versions had pm.max_spawn_rate directive hard coded and was not end user adjustable. Centmin Mod added option to patch the hard coded value if you set FPM_MAX_SPAWN_RATE variable value to greater than 32 (default hardcoded value) in persistent config file /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc prior to initial PHP 8.1 default Centmin Mod installs or centmin.sh menu option 5 PHP updates https://community.centminmod.com/th...fpm-fpm_max_spawn_rate-in-123-09beta01.21207/
- PHP-FPM max spawn rate limits how many additional dynamic PHP-FPM child processes can be spawned every 1 second. This means if you have set PHP-FPM process manager away from Centmin Mod default of pm = ondemand to pm = dynamic in /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.conf so you dynamically spawn PHP-FPM child processes, then it would take 30 seconds total to spawn 920 PHP-FPM child processes accounting for 2x spawn algorithm growth factor. So 1 second 8 additional PHP-FPM child processes spawned, then 2 seconds, 16 additional PHP-FPM child processes spawned, 3 seconds, 32 additional PHP-FPM child processes spawned, 4th second, 32 additional PHP-FPM child processes spawned - all the way to 30 seconds where 920 additional PHP-FPM child processes are spawned.
- If you try to set pm.max_spawn_rate directive in PHP <8.1, you will not be able to restart PHP-FPM service and journalctl logs would show

yes only applies to pm = dynamic

be careful raising pm.max_spawn_rate above default 32 value. If you don't have the server resources i.e. cpu/memory, this can cause much higher cpu/memory usage when you have a very high rate of PHP-FPM related requests
