### What problem does this PR solve? Addresses event-loop blocking under high concurrency reported in #13825. When multiple requests hit the API simultaneously, synchronous DB/Redis calls block the async event loop, preventing Quart from handling other requests and causing cascading 502/504 timeouts. This PR wraps all remaining blocking DB/Redis calls in `canvas_app.py`, `chat_api.py`, `session.py`, and `canvas_service.py` with `await thread_pool_exec()` - Offload all synchronous `Service.*`, `REDIS_CONN.*`, and `APIToken.query` calls to the thread pool - Convert sync endpoint handlers (`list_chats`, `get_chat`, `templates`, `sessions`, etc.) to `async def` - Convert sync helper functions (`_ensure_owned_chat`, `_validate_llm_id`, `_validate_dataset_ids`, etc.) to async - no duplicate sync/async pairs - Wrap `CanvasReplicaService` Redis IO calls (`bootstrap`, `replace_for_set`, `commit_after_run`) - Use `asyncio.gather()` for concurrent file uploads and chat response building **Note:** This fixes the code-level event-loop blocking, which is a prerequisite for handling concurrent requests. For the full "30 concurrent requests without 502/504" goal described in the issue, users should also tune deployment config: - `WS=4` or higher (HTTP worker processes, default 1) - `MAX_CONCURRENT_CHATS=50` (default 10) - `SANDBOX_EXECUTOR_MANAGER_POOL_SIZE` for workflow-heavy workloads ### Performance verification Reviewer asked for a before-vs-after comparison ([comment](https://github.com/infiniflow/ragflow/pull/13941#issuecomment-4393667231)). I built a self-contained microbenchmark that reproduces the exact failure mode this PR targets: an async handler that performs blocking DB/Redis-style calls (50 ms each, 3 per request, 30 concurrent requests) is run twice — once with the pre-PR pattern (sync call directly inside the async handler) and once with the post-PR pattern (`await thread_pool_exec(...)`). The benchmark imports nothing from RAGFlow except `thread_pool_exec` itself, so it is hermetic and reproducible (`THREAD_POOL_MAX_WORKERS=128`, Python 3.13.12). **Throughput — wall-clock for 30 concurrent requests (lower is better)** | flavour | wall(s) | p50(s) | p95(s) | max(s) | |---|---:|---:|---:|---:| | before | 4.986 | 0.158 | 0.207 | 0.269 | | after | 0.248 | 0.181 | 0.230 | 0.231 | The pre-PR handler serializes the entire load on the event-loop thread, so 30 × 3 × 50 ms ≈ 4.5 s shows up as the wall time. The post-PR handler parallelizes the blocking work across the thread pool and finishes the same load in 248 ms — a **~20× speedup** on this workload. **Event-loop responsiveness — latency of an unrelated probe coroutine while the 30 slow requests are running (lower is better)** | flavour | samples | probe p50 (ms) | probe p95 (ms) | probe max (ms) | |---|---:|---:|---:|---:| | before | 1 | 5442.26 | 5442.26 | 5442.26 | | after | 28 | 0.88 | 11.53 | 98.02 | This is the metric that maps directly to "the API still answers other requests while one is busy". A 5 ms-interval probe was scheduled while the 30 slow handlers ran. With the pre-PR code the event loop was frozen for the entire duration of the blocking work, so only one probe sample was ever picked up and it waited **5,442 ms**. After the PR, 28 probe samples landed with **p50 0.88 ms / p95 11.53 ms**, meaning unrelated requests are no longer starved by the slow ones. That is the regression mode behind the cascading 502/504s reported in #13825. <details> <summary>Raw benchmark output</summary> ``` config: 30 concurrent requests, 3 blocking calls of 50ms each per request, THREAD_POOL_MAX_WORKERS=128 === Throughput (lower wall is better) === flavour wall(s) p50(s) p95(s) max(s) before 4.986 0.158 0.207 0.269 after 0.248 0.181 0.230 0.231 === Event-loop responsiveness (lower probe latency is better) === flavour samples probe p50(ms) probe p95(ms) probe max(ms) before 1 5442.26 5442.26 5442.26 after 28 0.88 11.53 98.02 ``` </details> The benchmark script is included as a comment on the PR for reproducibility. ### Type of change - [x] Bug Fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue) - [x] Performance Improvement Closes [#13825](https://github.com/infiniflow/ragflow/issues/13825) --------- Co-authored-by: tmimmanuel <tmimmanuel@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Kevin Hu <kevinhu.sh@gmail.com>
