内容简介:从epoll源码分析它的使用

首先来看看epoll_create的真身

SYSCALL_DEFINE1(epoll_create, int, size)
{
    if (size <= 0)
    return -EINVAL;
    //也就是说参数size根本用不上
    return sys_epoll_create1(0);
}

再来看看epoll_create1的真身

SYSCALL_DEFINE1(epoll_create1, int, flags)
{
    int error, fd;
    struct eventpoll *ep = NULL;
    struct file *file;

    BUILD_BUG_ON(EPOLL_CLOEXEC != O_CLOEXEC);
    if (flags & ~EPOLL_CLOEXEC)
        return -EINVAL;

    error = ep_alloc(&ep);
    if (error < 0)
        return error;

    fd = get_unused_fd_flags(O_RDWR | (flags & O_CLOEXEC));
    if (fd < 0) {
        error = fd;
        goto out_free_ep;
    }
    file = anon_inode_getfile("[eventpoll]", &eventpoll_fops, ep, O_RDWR | (flags & O_CLOEXEC));
    if (IS_ERR(file)) {
        error = PTR_ERR(file);
        goto out_free_fd;
    }
    ep->file = file;
    fd_install(fd, file);
    return fd;

out_free_fd:
    put_unused_fd(fd);
out_free_ep:
    ep_free(ep);
    return error;
}

1. 对epoll来讲,目前唯一有效的flag只有EPOLL_CLOEXEC
2. ep_alloc初始化spinlock_t锁,mutex锁
3. 每次epoll_create1一个epollfd,内核就会分配一个eventpoll 与之对应
struct eventpoll
{
spinlock_t lock;

//添加,修改,删除fd,epoll_wait返回,内核态向用户态传递数据时都会持有这个锁,所以多线程操作epoll是安全的,内核做了保护
struct mutex mtx;

/* Wait queue used by sys_epoll_wait()*/
wait_queue_head_t wq;

/* Wait queue used by file->poll() */
wait_queue_head_t poll_wait;

//所有触发的epitem都放在这个链表里面
struct list_head rdllist;

//红黑树的root节点,所有要监听的epitem都在这个红黑树中,我们可以把红黑树的所有节点都看作epitem
struct rb_root rbr;

/*
* This is a single linked list that chains all the “struct epitem” that
* happened while transferring ready events to userspace w/out
* holding ->lock.
*/
struct epitem *ovflist;

/* wakeup_source used when ep_scan_ready_list is running */
struct wakeup_source *ws;

/* The user that created the eventpoll descriptor */
struct user_struct *user;

struct file *file;

/* used to optimize loop detection check */
int visited;
struct list_head visited_list_link;
};
3. 因为epollfd本身不存在一个真正的文件与之对应,不像socket,所以内核会分配一个真正的file结构且有真正的fd,然后和epollfd对应
struct file{
//eventpoll存储在这里
void *private_data;
struct list_head f_ep_links;
};
这样,通过epollfd找到它在内核中的file,然后通过file找到了存储的eventpoll
4. struct epitem {
/* RB tree node used to link this structure to the eventpoll RB tree */
struct rb_node rbn;

//当这个节点触发的时候,会链到之前提到的eventpoll中的rdllist中去
struct list_head rdllink;

/*
* Works together “struct eventpoll”->ovflist in keeping the
* single linked chain of items.
*/
struct epitem *next;

//epitem对应的fd和真正的file
struct epoll_filefd ffd;

/* Number of active wait queue attached to poll operations */
int nwait;

/* List containing poll wait queues */
struct list_head pwqlist;

//epitem属于的eventpoll
struct eventpoll *ep;

/* List header used to link this item to the “struct file” items list */
struct list_head fllink;

/* wakeup_source used when EPOLLWAKEUP is set */
struct wakeup_source *ws;

/* The structure that describe the interested events and the source fd */

//epitem关心的事件

struct epoll_event event;

};

struct epoll_filefd{

struct file *file;

int fd;

};

再来看看epoll_ctl的真身
SYSCALL_DEFINE4(epoll_ctl, int, epfd, int, op, int, fd,
        struct epoll_event __user *, event)
{
    int error;
    int did_lock_epmutex = 0;
    struct file *file, *tfile;
    struct eventpoll *ep;
    struct epitem *epi;
    struct epoll_event epds;

    error = -EFAULT;
    if (ep_op_has_event(op) &&
        copy_from_user(&epds, event, sizeof(struct epoll_event)))
        goto error_return;

    /* Get the "struct file *" for the eventpoll file */
    error = -EBADF;
    //这里就是之前说的通过epollfd找到对应的file,后续会通过这个file找到eventpoll
    file = fget(epfd);
    if (!file)
        goto error_return;

    /* Get the "struct file *" for the target file */
    tfile = fget(fd);
    if (!tfile)
        goto error_fput;

    /* The target file descriptor must support poll */
    error = -EPERM;
    if (!tfile->f_op || !tfile->f_op->poll)
        goto error_tgt_fput;

    /* Check if EPOLLWAKEUP is allowed */
    if ((epds.events & EPOLLWAKEUP) && !capable(CAP_BLOCK_SUSPEND))
        epds.events &= ~EPOLLWAKEUP;

    /*
     * We have to check that the file structure underneath the file descriptor
     * the user passed to us _is_ an eventpoll file. And also we do not permit
     * adding an epoll file descriptor inside itself.
     */
    error = -EINVAL;
    //epoll不能监听自己
    if (file == tfile || !is_file_epoll(file))
        goto error_tgt_fput;

    /*
     * At this point it is safe to assume that the "private_data" contains
     * our own data structure.
     */
     //这里就是通过file找到对应的eventpoll
    ep = file->private_data;

    /*
     * When we insert an epoll file descriptor, inside another epoll file
     * descriptor, there is the change of creating closed loops, which are
     * better be handled here, than in more critical paths. While we are
     * checking for loops we also determine the list of files reachable
     * and hang them on the tfile_check_list, so we can check that we
     * haven't created too many possible wakeup paths.
     *
     * We need to hold the epmutex across both ep_insert and ep_remove
     * b/c we want to make sure we are looking at a coherent view of
     * epoll network.
     */
    if (op == EPOLL_CTL_ADD || op == EPOLL_CTL_DEL) {
        mutex_lock(&epmutex);
        did_lock_epmutex = 1;
    }
    if (op == EPOLL_CTL_ADD) {
        if (is_file_epoll(tfile)) {
            error = -ELOOP;
            if (ep_loop_check(ep, tfile) != 0) {
                clear_tfile_check_list();
                goto error_tgt_fput;
            }
        } else
            list_add(&tfile->f_tfile_llink, &tfile_check_list);
    }

    mutex_lock_nested(&ep->mtx, 0);

    /*
     * Try to lookup the file inside our RB tree, Since we grabbed "mtx"
     * above, we can be sure to be able to use the item looked up by
     * ep_find() till we release the mutex.
     */
     //我们在接口层面知道一个fd只能添加一次,这里对应到红黑树中是epitem
    epi = ep_find(ep, tfile, fd);

    error = -EINVAL;
    switch (op) {
    case EPOLL_CTL_ADD:
        if (!epi) {
            epds.events |= POLLERR | POLLHUP;
            error = ep_insert(ep, &epds, tfile, fd);
        } else
            error = -EEXIST;
        clear_tfile_check_list();
        break;
    case EPOLL_CTL_DEL:
        if (epi)
            error = ep_remove(ep, epi);
        else
            error = -ENOENT;
        break;
    case EPOLL_CTL_MOD:
        if (epi) {
            epds.events |= POLLERR | POLLHUP;
            error = ep_modify(ep, epi, &epds);
        } else
            error = -ENOENT;
        break;
    }
    mutex_unlock(&ep->mtx);

error_tgt_fput:
    if (did_lock_epmutex)
        mutex_unlock(&epmutex);

    fput(tfile);
error_fput:
    fput(file);
error_return:

    return error;
}

这里我们可以很清楚的看到EPOLL_CTL_ADD,EPOLL_CTL_DEL,EPOLL_CTL_MOD操作都是有加锁保护的,ep_insert使用了spinlock_t 锁,内部首先是查看eventpoll中user成员,查看给的最大监听数量,然后再分配一个epitem,并设置回调ep_ptable_queue_proc,也就是红黑树的节点epitem有事件触发就调用这个回调。这个回调将触发的epitem放到waitqueue中,并设置了回调ep_poll_callback,这个waitqueue是fd所持有的。然后这个回调内部将触发的epitem放到了之前说的eventpoll的rdllist中。最后我们的epoll_wait就是遍历这个rdllist,如果有事件触发,就开始从内核态拷贝数据给用户态,这里也使用了spinlock_t锁。拷贝完之后的操作,在这里还设置了ET和LT的区别,如果是ET,epitem是不会再进入到rdllist,除非fd再次发生了状态改变,ep_poll_callback被调用。如果是LT,不管你还有没有激活的事件或者有效的数据,都会被重新插入到rdllist,再下一次epoll_wait的时候又返回给你。
总结:
1. 我们不是一定非要在主线程中listen之后完成accept,recv然后把数据丢给工作线程池。因为在多线程中EPOLL_CTL_ADD,EPOLL_CTL_DEL,EPOLL_CTL_MOD都是安全的,我们完全可以让线程池来代替主线程做accep,recv,当然这个线程池应该是CPU密集的,数量最好是CPU核数。这样主线程只做一件事情监听就行了,连接管理就交给这个线程池来做,最后数据处理还是给工作线程池。
2. 对比select,每次调用select时都要把fd集合从用户态拷贝到内核态,每次都要重复拷贝,而epoll只是在EPOLL_CTL_ADD调用了一次,也就是只拷贝了一次
3. 对比select,每次调用select的返回都需要在内核遍历传进来的fd集合,而epoll内部是通过红黑树结构查找速度更快,并且触发的事件都会通过回调函数放到rdllist,而epoll_wait返回仅仅只是从rdllist拿已经触发的事件。select和epoll都会睡眠和唤醒的状态切换,但是select在唤醒的时候需要去遍历,而epoll只需要判断链表是否为空,也节约了CPU消耗
4. 对比select,select支持的文件描述符默认是1024,就算修改配置后面遍历的速度也会越来越慢没有红黑树快。而epoll支持的文件描述符是一个进程能够打开的最大文件描述符数目1G内存大概可以提供10万
5. 联系著名的“惊群”现象,多线程中epoll_wait会不会因为同一个fd的事件触发而触发了多个线程去处理?由于epoll_wait从rdllist拿事件是加锁了的,所以不会。
