* LOCKING:
* There are three level of locking required by epoll :
*
* 1) epmutex (mutex)
* 2) ep->mtx (mutex)
* 3) ep->lock (spinlock)
*
* The acquire order is the one listed above, from 1 to 3.
* We need a spinlock (ep->lock) because we manipulate objects
* from inside the poll callback, that might be triggered from
* a wake_up() that in turn might be called from IRQ context.
* So we can't sleep inside the poll callback and hence we need
* a spinlock. During the event transfer loop (from kernel to
* user space) we could end up sleeping due a copy_to_user(), so
* we need a lock that will allow us to sleep. This lock is a
* mutex (ep->mtx). It is acquired during the event transfer loop,
* during epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL) and during eventpoll_release_file().
* Then we also need a global mutex to serialize eventpoll_release_file()
* and ep_free().
* This mutex is acquired by ep_free() during the epoll file
* cleanup path and it is also acquired by eventpoll_release_file()
* if a file has been pushed inside an epoll set and it is then
* close()d without a previous call toepoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL).
* It is possible to drop the "ep->mtx" and to use the global
* mutex "epmutex" (together with "ep->lock") to have it working,
* but having "ep->mtx" will make the interface more scalable.
* Events that require holding "epmutex" are very rare, while for
* normal operations the epoll private "ep->mtx" will guarantee
* a better scalability.

epoll: optimizations and cleanups Epoll is doing multiple passes over the ready set at the moment, because of the constraints over the f_op->poll() call. Looking at the code again, I noticed that we already hold the epoll semaphore in read, and this (together with other locking conditions that hold while doing an epoll_wait()) can lead to a smarter way [1] to "ship" events to userspace (in a single pass). This is a stress application that can be used to test the new code. It spwans multiple thread and call epoll_wait() and epoll_ctl() from many threads. Stress tested on my dual Opteron 254 w/out any problems. http://www.xmailserver.org/totalmess.c This is not a benchmark, just something that tries to stress and exploit possible problems with the new code. Also, I made a stupid micro-benchmark: http://www.xmailserver.org/epwbench.c [1] Considering that epoll must be thread-safe, there are five ways we can be hit during an epoll_wait() transfer loop (ep_send_events()): 1) The epoll fd going away and calling ep_free This just can't happen, since we did an fget() in sys_epoll_wait 2) An epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL) This can't happen because epoll_ctl() gets ep->sem in write, and we're holding it in read during ep_send_events() 3) An fd stored inside the epoll fd going away This can't happen because in eventpoll_release_file() we get ep->sem in write, and we're holding it in read during ep_send_events() 4) Another epoll_wait() happening on another thread They both can be inside ep_send_events() at the same time, we get (splice) the ready-list under the spinlock, so each one will get its own ready list. Note that an fd cannot be at the same time inside more than one ready list, because ep_poll_callback() will not re-queue it if it sees it already linked: if (ep_is_linked(&epi->rdllink)) goto is_linked; Another case that can happen, is two concurrent epoll_wait(), coming in with a userspace event buffer of size, say, ten. Suppose there are 50 event ready in the list. The first epoll_wait() will "steal" the whole list, while the second, seeing no events, will go to sleep. But at the end of ep_send_events() in the first epoll_wait(), we will re-inject surplus ready fds, and we will trigger the proper wake_up to the second epoll_wait(). 5) ep_poll_callback() hitting us asyncronously This is the tricky part. As I said above, the ep_is_linked() test done inside ep_poll_callback(), will guarantee us that until the item will result linked to a list, ep_poll_callback() will not try to re-queue it again (read, write data on any of its members). When we do a list_del() in ep_send_events(), the item will still satisfy the ep_is_linked() test (whatever data is written in prev/next, it'll never be its own pointer), so ep_poll_callback() will still leave us alone. It's only after the eventual smp_mb()+INIT_LIST_HEAD(&epi->rdllink) that it'll become visible to ep_poll_callback(), but at the point we're already past it.

epoll: optimizations and cleanups Epoll is doing multiple passes over the ready set at the moment, because of the constraints over the f_op->poll() call. Looking at the code again, I noticed that we already hold the epoll semaphore in read, and this (together with other locking conditions that hold while doing an epoll_wait()) can lead to a smarter way [1] to "ship" events to userspace (in a single pass). This is a stress application that can be used to test the new code. It spwans multiple thread and call epoll_wait() and epoll_ctl() from many threads. Stress tested on my dual Opteron 254 w/out any problems. http://www.xmailserver.org/totalmess.c This is not a benchmark, just something that tries to stress and exploit possible problems with the new code. Also, I made a stupid micro-benchmark: http://www.xmailserver.org/epwbench.c [1] Considering that epoll must be thread-safe, there are five ways we can be hit during an epoll_wait() transfer loop (ep_send_events()): 1) The epoll fd going away and calling ep_free This just can't happen, since we did an fget() in sys_epoll_wait 2) An epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL) This can't happen because epoll_ctl() gets ep->sem in write, and we're holding it in read during ep_send_events() 3) An fd stored inside the epoll fd going away This can't happen because in eventpoll_release_file() we get ep->sem in write, and we're holding it in read during ep_send_events() 4) Another epoll_wait() happening on another thread They both can be inside ep_send_events() at the same time, we get (splice) the ready-list under the spinlock, so each one will get its own ready list. Note that an fd cannot be at the same time inside more than one ready list, because ep_poll_callback() will not re-queue it if it sees it already linked: if (ep_is_linked(&epi->rdllink)) goto is_linked; Another case that can happen, is two concurrent epoll_wait(), coming in with a userspace event buffer of size, say, ten. Suppose there are 50 event ready in the list. The first epoll_wait() will "steal" the whole list, while the second, seeing no events, will go to sleep. But at the end of ep_send_events() in the first epoll_wait(), we will re-inject surplus ready fds, and we will trigger the proper wake_up to the second epoll_wait(). 5) ep_poll_callback() hitting us asyncronously This is the tricky part. As I said above, the ep_is_linked() test done inside ep_poll_callback(), will guarantee us that until the item will result linked to a list, ep_poll_callback() will not try to re-queue it again (read, write data on any of its members). When we do a list_del() in ep_send_events(), the item will still satisfy the ep_is_linked() test (whatever data is written in prev/next, it'll never be its own pointer), so ep_poll_callback() will still leave us alone. It's only after the eventual smp_mb()+INIT_LIST_HEAD(&epi->rdllink) that it'll become visible to ep_poll_callback(), but at the point we're already past it.

epoll: optimizations and cleanups Epoll is doing multiple passes over the ready set at the moment, because of the constraints over the f_op->poll() call. Looking at the code again, I noticed that we already hold the epoll semaphore in read, and this (together with other locking conditions that hold while doing an epoll_wait()) can lead to a smarter way [1] to "ship" events to userspace (in a single pass). This is a stress application that can be used to test the new code. It spwans multiple thread and call epoll_wait() and epoll_ctl() from many threads. Stress tested on my dual Opteron 254 w/out any problems. http://www.xmailserver.org/totalmess.c This is not a benchmark, just something that tries to stress and exploit possible problems with the new code. Also, I made a stupid micro-benchmark: http://www.xmailserver.org/epwbench.c [1] Considering that epoll must be thread-safe, there are five ways we can be hit during an epoll_wait() transfer loop (ep_send_events()): 1) The epoll fd going away and calling ep_free This just can't happen, since we did an fget() in sys_epoll_wait 2) An epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL) This can't happen because epoll_ctl() gets ep->sem in write, and we're holding it in read during ep_send_events() 3) An fd stored inside the epoll fd going away This can't happen because in eventpoll_release_file() we get ep->sem in write, and we're holding it in read during ep_send_events() 4) Another epoll_wait() happening on another thread They both can be inside ep_send_events() at the same time, we get (splice) the ready-list under the spinlock, so each one will get its own ready list. Note that an fd cannot be at the same time inside more than one ready list, because ep_poll_callback() will not re-queue it if it sees it already linked: if (ep_is_linked(&epi->rdllink)) goto is_linked; Another case that can happen, is two concurrent epoll_wait(), coming in with a userspace event buffer of size, say, ten. Suppose there are 50 event ready in the list. The first epoll_wait() will "steal" the whole list, while the second, seeing no events, will go to sleep. But at the end of ep_send_events() in the first epoll_wait(), we will re-inject surplus ready fds, and we will trigger the proper wake_up to the second epoll_wait(). 5) ep_poll_callback() hitting us asyncronously This is the tricky part. As I said above, the ep_is_linked() test done inside ep_poll_callback(), will guarantee us that until the item will result linked to a list, ep_poll_callback() will not try to re-queue it again (read, write data on any of its members). When we do a list_del() in ep_send_events(), the item will still satisfy the ep_is_linked() test (whatever data is written in prev/next, it'll never be its own pointer), so ep_poll_callback() will still leave us alone. It's only after the eventual smp_mb()+INIT_LIST_HEAD(&epi->rdllink) that it'll become visible to ep_poll_callback(), but at the point we're already past it.
