Hi,
I have custom nginx module which uses thread pool to serve blocking synchronous calls to our library.
It worked fine with nginx version 1.12.1.

Now we've tried to upgrade nginx to latest 1.14 version and it seems thread pool is not working with that version.

After some debugging we've found that the issue is in this commit https://github.com/nginx/nginx/commit/d1d48ed8448e24ef5297bb37387544ad241591fe

For some reasons, it removed validation if request is blocked (line 2452). As a result, request is closed before task in thread pool is done. Nginx crashes with segmentation fault when tries to execute task handler (request is closed and pool is destroyed):

Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
#0 0x00005610e5df62b7 in ngx_palloc (pool=0x0, size=80) at src/core/ngx_palloc.c:126
126 if (size <= pool->max) {
[Current thread is 1 (Thread 0x7f95ce2f3700 (LWP 23159))]
(gdb) bt
#0 0x00005610e5df62b7 in ngx_palloc (pool=0x0, size=80) at src/core/ngx_palloc.c:126


Does that mean that using thread pool in custom modules is no longer supported?
Does any workaround exist to fix it?

Thank you in advance,
Ihor
