Description
When running nginx within a Docker container operating in bridged networking mode the proxy_cache_background_update feature does not always work as intended. Certain requests, particularly requests with large response bodies, will cause nginx to wait for the server to reply with a new version instead of immediately sending the cached resource.
All requests where background updates become blocking log the following:
2017/04/14 08:13:46 [debug] 7#7: *3 writev() not ready (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
Switching the Docker container to host networking mode seems to completely resolve the issue.
The issue has been replicated on three different machines (two physical running Arch Linux and one virtual running CentOS 7), with three different Docker versions: 1.12.6, 17.03.0, and 17.04.0.
The behavior is identical on both Ubuntu and Alpine base Docker images.
Scripts and configuration for reproducing the issue are available at https://github.com/rdngr/nginx-background-issue
