16 years agotimerfd: new timerfd API
Davide Libenzi [Tue, 5 Feb 2008 06:27:26 +0000 (22:27 -0800)]
timerfd: new timerfd API

This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch:

int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags);
int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags,
    const struct itimerspec *utmr,
    struct itimerspec *otmr);
int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr);

The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd.  The "clockid"
parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME.

The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally
retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not
NULL).

The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit
is set in the "flags" parameter.  Otherwise it's a relative time.

The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or
{0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet.

Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are
supported (with the same interface).  Here's a simple test program I used to
exercise the new timerfd APIs:

exec: rework the group exit and fix the race with kill

As Roland pointed out, we have the very old problem with exec.  de_thread()
sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, kills other threads, changes ->group_leader and then
clears signal->flags.  All signals (even fatal ones) sent in this window
(which is not too small) will be lost.

With this patch exec doesn't abuse SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT.  signal_group_exit(),
the new helper, should be used to detect exit_group() or exec() in progress.
It can have more users, but this patch does only strictly necessary changes.

Add parameter to add_partial to avoid having two functions

Add a parameter to add_partial instead of having separate functions.  The
parameter allows a more detailed control of where the slab pages is placed in
the partial queues.

If we put slabs back to the front then they are likely immediately used for
allocations.  If they are put at the end then we can maximize the time that
the partial slabs spent without being subject to allocations.

When deactivating slab we can put the slabs that had remote objects freed (we
can see that because objects were put on the freelist that requires locks) to
them at the end of the list so that the cachelines of remote processors can
cool down.  Slabs that had objects from the local cpu freed to them (objects
exist in the lockless freelist) are put in the front of the list to be reused
ASAP in order to exploit the cache hot state of the local cpu.

Patch seems to slightly improve tbench speed (1-2%).
