Finding out the Thread which is actually handling the WCF request for the HttpContext

In the recent past, the PSSCOR2 debugger extension was made public. This debugger extension contains a very useful command called !aspxpages which shows you information about various asp.net requests running in the dump, the time they have been executing and the thread associated with the System.Web.HttpContext. Here is an example of what this command shows you

Using this information you can find out the thread which is handling your request and if the request is taking a longer time to execute, you can check the callstack of the thread to see what it is doing and why it is taking a longer time to execute and this is pretty helpful. If you are hosting WCF services inside IIS, the same command will show you the information about the HttpContexts associated with the WCF requests and the thread handing the request but because of the way the WCF requests work inside IIS, the thread reported by the !aspxpages command will always show you the call-stack like below.

The reason for this is the way WCF runtime handles the request. You will always see two threads to process the WCF request. One thread is the CLR ThreadPool thread (which will look something like the above thread) which is the worker thread that comes from ASP.NET and the other thread is an I/O thread that is managed by the WCF IOThreadScheduler (actually created by ThreadPool.UnsafeQueueNativeOverlapped). More details on this behavior are mentioned in this blog.

Most of the times you are interested in finding out the actual WCF thread which is servicing this request because that would be the thread which is actually executing the method code inside your WCF service and if your service it service method is taking a long time to execute, that would be thread that would be the thread that requires attention. At this point, there is no direct command to show you the WCF I/O thread. To find that out, you have to look at the managed call-stack of all the threads in a dump file and find out the threads which have a call to System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.SyncMethodInvoker.Invoke function and track that back to the ASP.NET Worker thread to assosiate it with the actual ASP.NET worker thread shown in !aspxpages output.

So from this dump file, I just picked one such thread which had a call to System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.SyncMethodInvoker.Invoke function (Thread 45).

The rest of the post will walk you through the steps on finding out the HttpContext associated with the above thread. We start by running the command !dso (!dumpstackobjects) on this thread and picking up the object of type System.ServiceModel.Channels.IOThreadScheduler+CriticalHelper+WorkItem.

Once you find this object, you can dump this out using !do

From here onwards you have a do a series of !do commands till you reach the HttpContext object. This is how the object hierarchy looks like

System.ServiceModel.Channels.IOThreadScheduler+CriticalHelper+WorkItem (state) -> SecuritySessionServerSettings+ServerSecuritySessionChannel+ReceiveRequestAsyncResult (innerRequestContext)-> System.ServiceModel.Activation.HostedHttpContext(result) -> System.ServiceModel.Activation.HostedHttpRequestAsyncResult (context) -> System.Web.HttpApplication (_context) -> System.Web.HttpContext

So picking up the state field from IOThreadScheduler+CriticalHelper+WorkItem we get SecuritySessionServerSettings+ServerSecuritySessionChannel+ReceiveRequestAsyncResult

 <striping the rest of the output> 

This context is the actual HttpContext reported inside the !aspxpages pages and using this technique you can associate the WCF request processing threads with the ASP.NET worker thread that handled the request in the first place, so going back to the output given by !aspxpages pages, we can see that the HttpContext (01c404c) to the below entry

0x01c404c8 11647 Sec no 25 Sec 41 200 POST /MySleepingWcfService/Service.svc

 

So this concludes that the HttpContext 01c404c8 for which the ASP.NET worker thread is 41 is actually getting processed on thread 45.

The steps are a little lengthy but at times you really need to find this information. You can even write a debugger script to automate this whole process.

HAPPY DEBUGGING !!!
