Description:
------------
When using the Prefork MPM, persistent MySQLi connections (for example, but not limited to MySQLi) are reused.
When using other MPMs, they are not. For traced it to:

ext/mysqli/mysqli_nonapi.c: 166

The EG(persistent_list) macro always returns a new list. This results in reaching the MySQL server's connection limit (default at 151) with having all of them waiting in sleep.

Persistent connections are stored in process memory, not in any
kind of shared memory.  For prefork MPM, all child processes have
access to that process memory, for worker MPM they have not, so
each child process has its opwn set of persistent connections.
It's the same with (F)CGI.  That should be documented.

No, that is not the case[1].

The point here is likely that some MPMs stop worker
processes/threads from time to time, and that newly started
processes/threads will have EG(persistent_list) empty.
