The patch is stable enough now. https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/1734 I made patch a little simpler by removing per session basis timestamp handling. It's system wide now. i.e. Cannot control timestamps per session. If it is needed, it may be added later. Since session expiration is managed by timestamp in session data, GC may be performed when session closes. GC may take time and prevents server outputs because session_start() is called at the beginning of script execution usually. If GC is done at the end of session(rshutdown), user gets the page content just like GC is not performed while browser looks it's still loading page. I would like to perform GC only when session is still active when request is shutting down. Consequences - If script executes session_commit()/session_destroy()/use read only option, PHP will not perform GC. i.e. GC function is not called at all. Therefore, probability of GC decreases and GC becomes less likely. - If script uses multiple session storage, only the last session storage performs GC. i.e. Previously used session storage may not call GC function at all if this is done for site wide. - User will not see occasional page rendering delay by GC. (This is the main reason of this change) This behavior is preferred than current one. IMO.
