Concurrency support for Image()? #4

raliste · 2018-07-24T22:59:44Z

Apparently the Image method is not safe for concurrent use when rendering specially big images, ie. 1 MB. Any hints?

gen2brain · 2018-07-25T07:06:59Z

Do you have any errors? Or example?

rondymesquita · 2019-01-16T11:20:48Z

It seems I am facing the same problem. I just got the code from example on readme, and, inside the loop I added a go routine. I adapted some code and still not able to make it work. See my adapted coded below.

package main

import (
  "sync"
	"fmt"
	"image/jpeg"
	"image"
	"log"
	"os"
	"path/filepath"
	"github.com/gen2brain/go-fitz"
)
var tmpDir = "./output"

func createOutputFolder() {
	if _, err := os.Stat(tmpDir); !os.IsNotExist(err) {
		fmt.Println("Deleting existing folder")
		os.RemoveAll(tmpDir)
	}
	fmt.Println("Creating folder")
	os.Mkdir(tmpDir, os.ModePerm)
}

func extractImage(doc fitz.Document, number int) (image.Image){
	img, err := doc.Image(number)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal("Error while extracting image", err)
		// panic(err)
	}
	return img
}

func writeToFile(img image.Image, number int){
	name := fmt.Sprintf("test%03d.jpg", number)
	fmt.Println(name)
	f, err := os.Create(filepath.Join(tmpDir, name))
	defer f.Close()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal("Error while creating file")
		panic(err)
	}

	err = jpeg.Encode(f, img, &jpeg.Options{1})
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal("Error while saving image")
		panic(err)
	}
}

func generate(doc fitz.Document, number int, wg sync.WaitGroup) {
	defer wg.Done()
	fmt.Println("Generating image from page", number)
	img := extractImage(doc, number)
	writeToFile(img, number)
}

func main() {
		doc, err := fitz.New("2pages.pdf")
		if err != nil {
			panic(err)
		}
		defer doc.Close()
		createOutputFolder()
                var wg sync.WaitGroup
		numPages := doc.NumPage()
		wg.Add(numPages)

		fmt.Println("===> Number of Pages", numPages)
                for number := 0; number < numPages; number++ {
    	                fmt.Println("=>", number)
			go generate(*doc, number, wg)
               }
               wg.Wait()
               fmt.Println("===> Done")
}

Also, I was using a very small document with 2 pages and text only (something like 80kb).

gen2brain · 2019-02-02T18:32:16Z

Methods are now protected with a mutex, so there should be no issues, but I didn't test.

rondymesquita · 2019-02-16T00:37:28Z

I`m still not able to use goroutines...

PuKoren · 2019-02-27T05:12:07Z

Hello,

I think I experience a similar issue. While the code don't crash, it seems that my images are mixed together.

Here is a sample code I currently use for concurrency:

    // input is my PDF as an array of bytes
    doc, err := fitz.NewFromMemory(input)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    defer doc.Close()

    pages := make([]string, doc.NumPage())

    type ImageResult struct {
        base64img string
        index int
    }
    ch := make(chan ImageResult, doc.NumPage())

    for n := 0; n < doc.NumPage(); n++ {
        go func(index int) {
            img, err := doc.Image(index)
            if err != nil {
                ch <- ImageResult{ "", index }
                return
            }

            buf := new(bytes.Buffer)
            err = png.Encode(buf, img)

            if err != nil {
                ch <- ImageResult{ "", index }
                return
            }

            ch <- ImageResult{
              base64img: base64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString(buf.Bytes()),
              index: index,
            }
        }(n)
    }

    for n := 0; n < doc.NumPage(); n++ {
        res := <- ch
        pages[res.index] = res.base64img
    }

Without the goroutine it works fine, so I guess my code is OK.

Meanwhile I will try to look at the source code of the module and try to find the cause of the issue. I really need the performance boost of the goroutine (4 sec instead of > 12 on the PDF conversion, there is a lot of images) 😄

PuKoren · 2019-02-27T05:52:21Z

I added a PR (#12) to fix my issue, I'm not sure if this also fixes their issue

rondymesquita · 2019-02-27T14:48:07Z

I could test and it seems to be working right now! Thanks @PuKoren. I will try to improve performance since when I test with a 12MB file, it breaks up.

Here the code

package main

import (
  "sync"
  "fmt"
  "image/jpeg"
  "log"
  "os"
  "path/filepath"
  "github.com/gen2brain/go-fitz"
  "reflect"
  "runtime"
)
var tmpDir = "./output"

func createOutputFolder() {
  if _, err := os.Stat(tmpDir); !os.IsNotExist(err) {
    fmt.Println("Deleting existing folder")
    os.RemoveAll(tmpDir)
  }
  fmt.Println("Creating folder")
  os.Mkdir(tmpDir, os.ModePerm)
}

func generate(doc *fitz.Document, number int) {
  fmt.Println("Generating image from page", number)
  img, err := doc.Image(number)
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal("Error while extracting image", err)
    panic(err)
  }
  name := fmt.Sprintf("test%03d.jpg", number)

  f, err := os.Create(filepath.Join(tmpDir, name))
  defer f.Close()

  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal("Error while creating file")
    panic(err)
  }

  err = jpeg.Encode(f, img, &jpeg.Options{1})
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal("Error while saving image")
    panic(err)
  }
  fmt.Println("Write finished", number)
}

func main() {
    runtime.GOMAXPROCS(2)
    doc, err := fitz.New("12MB.pdf")
    fmt.Println(reflect.TypeOf(doc))
    if err != nil {
      panic(err)
    }
    defer doc.Close()

    createOutputFolder()
    var wg sync.WaitGroup
    numPages := doc.NumPage()
    wg.Add(numPages)

    fmt.Println("===> Number of Pages", numPages)
    for number := 0; number < numPages; number++ {
      fmt.Println("=>", number)
      go func(doc *fitz.Document, number int, wg *sync.WaitGroup) {
        fmt.Println("Called")
        defer wg.Done()
        generate(doc, number)
      }(doc, number, &wg)
    }
   wg.Wait()
   fmt.Println("===> Done")
}

PuKoren · 2019-02-28T02:36:57Z

@rondymesquita my PDF is around 16MB and 15 pages, but I don't experience any crash. What is your machine specs ?

rondymesquita · 2019-02-28T22:19:05Z

I guess it it not related with size itself but with PDF content. If it has to many images and/or is a PDF from scanned images, sometimes I get a crash. I'm using inside of docker container and I have limited memory and CPU. I did not mapped the error yet.

PuKoren · 2019-03-15T07:11:15Z

I stopped using goroutines for now as it was crashing randomly despite the fix submitted previously. It happens once every 10 convert approx.

Still trying to figure out how to make it goroutine-friendly as I really need the multi-threading speed

raliste · 2019-03-15T14:59:39Z

I ended up taking a process fork approach. Each Image() gets a short-lived process. At first sight it looks cumbersome and CPU-intensive, but after many approaches, we found it's the most stable, secure and fast, specially when you RPC. Running thousands of Image() per day under 1 second.

PuKoren · 2019-03-17T07:46:31Z

@raliste thanks for the update. I'm not sure I follow entirely, do you open the PDF with a go-fitz instance once in a separate process for each page inside the PDF ?

raliste · 2019-03-17T11:47:33Z

@PuKoren yes. There's a -fork flag that subprocess the same program with the args to the file, page and width.

PuKoren · 2019-03-18T00:39:51Z

@raliste that sounds smart, I will give it a try. Thanks !

Update: thanks a lot, I used what you suggested with goroutines and I am down to 2.3s for 15 pages conversion at 200 DPI. Awesome.

gen2brain · 2019-04-08T13:02:12Z

I investigated a little how MuPDF works and what is needed to have real concurrency support, and there are some problems. What is needed is described here https://mupdf.com/docs/coding-overview.html#multi-threading, excerpt from there:

The following simple rules should be followed to ensure that multi-threaded operations run smoothly:

"No simultaneous calls to MuPDF in different threads are allowed to use the same context."

Most of the time it is simplest to just use a different context for every thread; just create a new context at the same time as you create the thread. For more details see "Cloning the context" below.

"No simultaneous calls to MuPDF in different threads are allowed to use the same document."

Only one thread can be accessing a document at a time, but once display lists are created from that document, multiple threads at a time can operate on them.

The document can be used from several different threads as long as there are safeguards in place to prevent the usages being simultaneous.

"No simultaneous calls to MuPDF in different threads are allowed to use the same device."

Calling a device simultaneously from different threads will cause it to get confused and may crash. Calling a device from several different threads is perfectly acceptable as long as there are safeguards in place to prevent the calls being simultaneous.

So context must be cloned, that is not a problem, but other rules are difficult to make right, especially not accessing the same document from other threads, but we can work with display lists in other threads (not sure what to do with them). I also tried to pass lock/unlock functions when creating context, and that works but goroutine is not the same as thread, probably you experienced crashes when some routine is started on a different thread.

There is an example here https://mupdf.com/docs/examples/multi-threaded.c, but for now, I don't see an easy way to apply that to Go. Any help or pointers are welcomed.

@PuKoren
Hi.
Could you share the sulotion? Thanks.

PuKoren · 2021-04-22T01:12:02Z

@xiaoxfan sure

here is the code:

func ToPNGs(input []byte, opts *Options) ([][]byte, error) {
    var pngs [][]byte

    doc, err := fitz.NewFromMemory(input)
    defer doc.Close()

    if err != nil {
        return pngs, errors.WithStack(err)
    }

    numPage := doc.NumPage()
    pngs = make([][]byte, numPage)

    if err = assertNumPage(numPage); err != nil {
        return pngs, errors.WithStack(err)
    }

    // // SINGLE-THREADED
    // for n := 0; n < numPage; n++ {
    //     var png []byte

    //     // 72: 200ms, 144: 400ms, 200: 600ms, etc.
    //     png, err = doc.ImagePNG(n, opts.dpi())

    //     if err != nil {
    //         if logger != nil {
    //             // handle single page error here
    //         }
    //         continue
    //     }

    //     pngs[n] = png
    // }
    // END SINGLE-THREADED

    // MULTI-THREADED
    type imageResult struct {
        data *[]byte
        index int
    }

    chunks := createChunks(numPage, concurrency())
    ch := make(chan error, len(chunks))

    for _, chunk := range chunks {
        go func(chunk []int) {
            doc, err := fitz.NewFromMemory(input)

            if err != nil {
                ch <- errors.WithStack(err)
                return
            }

            for _, index := range chunk {

                buf, err := doc.ImagePNG(index, opts.dpi())

                if err != nil {
                    ch <- errors.WithStack(err)
                    return
                }

                pngs[index] = buf

            }

            doc.Close()
            ch <- nil
        }(chunk)
    }

    for _ = range chunks {
        if err := <-ch; err != nil {
            if logger != nil {
                // handle single page errors here
            }
        }
    }
    // END MULTI-THREADED

    return pngs, nil

}

It contains both single-threaded and multi-threaded versions that are separated with comments like // MULTI-THREADED
In this sample single-threaded mode is disabled

It takes a lot of memory but it is faster

xiaoxfan · 2021-04-22T06:25:24Z

@PuKoren
Thanks for your sharing. It's very helpful.

xiaoxfan · 2021-04-22T10:12:22Z

@PuKoren Hello, I'm so sorry to bother you again.
Below is my code. Some pdf work well and faster,but some pdf got segmentation violation error and looks like non-random.
I am very confused.Is there any way to solve this problem? thanks.
I use centos7

func Pdf2Images1(src []byte, dpi float64, pageLimit int) ([][]byte, error) {
	if dpi <= 0 {
		dpi = defaultDPI
	}
	doc, err := fitz.NewFromMemory(src)
	if err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}
	defer doc.Close()
	if pageLimit > 0 && doc.NumPage() > pageLimit {
		return nil, PageSizeErr
	}
	ret := make([][]byte, doc.NumPage())
	wg := new(sync.WaitGroup)
	wg.Add(doc.NumPage())
	for n := 0; n < doc.NumPage(); n++ {
		go func(n int) {
			defer wg.Done()
			doc, err := fitz.NewFromMemory(src)
			if err != nil {
				log.Println(err)
				return
			}
			defer doc.Close()
			ret[n], err = doc.ImagePNG(n, dpi)
			if err != nil {
				log.Println(err)
				return
			}
		}(n)
	}
	wg.Wait()
	return ret, nil
}

@xiaoxfan maybe you can try to rename the variable inside the goroutine doc, err := fitz.NewFromMemory(src)

to something like doc2, err := fitz.NewFromMemory(src)
because doc is already declared outside of it, I'm unsure of the behavior 🤔

(its weird that in the code I pasted I also use the same naming)

sorry I realized I missed a function in the previous code:

func createChunks(n, max int) [][]int {
    is := make([]int, n)
    for i := 0; i < n; i++ {
        is[i] = i
    }
    if n <= max {
        max = n
    }
    size := n / max
    var chunks [][]int
    for i := 0; i < n; i += size {
        j := i + size
        if j > n {
            j = n
        }
        chunks = append(chunks, is[i:j])
    }
    return chunks
}

func concurrency() int {
    if v := os.Getenv("N_WORKERS"); v != "" {
        if n, err := strconv.Atoi(v); err == nil {
            return n
        }
    }
    return 2
}

Did you see a pattern in the files that are non-working vs the ones that are ok? Like the number of pages, the document size, etc.

xiaoxfan · 2021-04-23T05:51:30Z

@PuKoren Thank you for your reply,
this problem still exists, even if I use built-int func 'copy' to copy input byte slice for each goroutine. For most cases,it works fine,but a few specificIt pdf cause crash. That makes me very confused.

for n := 0; n < doc1.NumPage(); n++ {
		go func(n int) {
			defer wg.Done()
			src1 := make([]byte,len(src))
			copy(src1,src)
			doc, err := fitz.NewFromMemory(src1)
			if err != nil {
				log.Println(err)
				return
			}
			defer doc.Close()
			ret[n], err = doc.ImagePNG(n, dpi)
			if err != nil {
				log.Println(err)
				return
			}
		}(n)
	}

PuKoren · 2021-04-23T06:11:10Z

@xiaoxfan are those PDF working when processed without goroutines with a single gofitz instance?

xiaoxfan · 2021-04-23T06:25:26Z

Yes

PuKoren · 2021-04-23T06:39:52Z

@xiaoxfan If you use the same code I pasted here you get the same issue?

xiaoxfan · 2021-04-23T06:52:48Z

@xiaoxfan If you use the same code I pasted here you get the same issue?

Yes, only a few specific pdf files (5 pages,no obvious difference from the others) will not work, the rest work good.
update: mupdf has a multi-thread example.but I don't know how to wrapper it with cgo.
https://mupdf.com/docs/examples/multi-threaded.c

PuKoren · 2021-04-23T07:21:46Z

@xiaoxfan I think it would be hard to debug without the PDF files to try locally
however I don't have enough time now to do it, so I can't help you much

@PuKoren
Thank you very much for your help, I will try to find other solutions.

Hello @xiaoxfan

I faced exactly the same problem. did you manage to find some solution?

gen2brain · 2021-05-26T06:18:29Z

Nice discussion in PyMUPDF pymupdf/PyMuPDF#97, but also without the solution.
