module ActionDispatch
  # # Action Dispatch DebugLocks
  #
  # This middleware can be used to diagnose deadlocks in the autoload interlock.
  #
  # To use it, insert it near the top of the middleware stack, using
  # `config/application.rb`:
  #
  #     config.middleware.insert_before Rack::Sendfile, ActionDispatch::DebugLocks
  #
  # After restarting the application and re-triggering the deadlock condition, the
  # route `/rails/locks` will show a summary of all threads currently known to the
  # interlock, which lock level they are holding or awaiting, and their current
  # backtrace.
  #
  # Generally a deadlock will be caused by the interlock conflicting with some
  # other external lock or blocking I/O call. These cannot be automatically
  # identified, but should be visible in the displayed backtraces.
  #
  # NOTE: The formatting and content of this middleware's output is intended for
  # human consumption, and should be expected to change between releases.
  #
  # This middleware exposes operational details of the server, with no access
  # control. It should only be enabled when in use, and removed thereafter.
