Re: [libvirt] PATCH: 1/2: Make the event loop & RPC dispatch threaded

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch does the bulk of the work for thread support in the daemon

The first part deals with the event loop, making all its functions
thread-safe by adding mutex locking in appropriate places. There's a
interesting problem in that one thread may want to add/remove FDs to
the event loop, while another thread is sleeping in poll(). Thus we
utilize the self-pipe trick, adding the 'read' end of the pipe to the
FDs that are monitored. When one thread needs to break another out
of the poll() wait, it writes a single byte to the pipe.

The second part deals with the RPC call dispatch process. THe model
is that one thread is responsible for all network I/O, accepting new
clients, doing the poll(), and reading/writing the data for the RPC
messages. When a complete message has been read off the wire, the
correspondig  struct qemud_client is marked as having a pending RPC
call to dispatch. A pool of worker threads wait on a condition variable
for available RPC calls to dispatch. We avoid a fixed 1-to-1 worker
to client  model since that's needlessly wasteful of resources when
most clients are idle most of the time. This patch hardcodes the worker
pool size to 10, but the next patch makes it configurable. When a
worker thread has finished dispatching a RPC call, the reply data is
placed in the client outbound buffer, and its marked ready for 
transmit, at which point the main thread performs the I/O op.

There is also one final round of tweaking the contract of the RPC
handler methods. We explicitly pass in the virConnectPtr object to
the RPC handlers. This means that 99% of them never need directly
access the 'struct qemud_client' object, and thus the client object
can be left unlocked for the duration of the libvirt API call.
This is an important point for getting good parallelization.

NB, yes there are lots of fprintf() calls in this patch still. They
will be removed next time I post it when we're in a position to
actually commit.

+     Threading: the RULES.
+     ====================
+
+If you don't understand this, don't touch the code. Ask for
+further advice / explanation on the mailing list first.
+
+ - the top level lock is on 'struct qemud_server'. This must be
+   held before acquiring any other lock
+
+ - Each 'struct qemud_client' object has a lock. The server lock
+   must be held before acquiring it. Once the client lock is acquired
+   the server lock can (optionally) be dropped.
+
+ - The event loop has its own self-contained lock. You can ignore
+   this as a caller of virEvent APIs.
+
+
+The server lock is only needed / used once the daemon has entered
+its main loop, which is the qemudRunLoop() . The initial thread
+acquires the lock upon entering this method.
+
+It immediatelty spawns 'n' worker threads, whose main loop is
+the qemudWorker() method. The workers will immediately try to
+acquire the server lock, and thus block since its held by the
+initial thread.
+
+When the initial thread enters the poll() call, it drops the
+server lock. The worker locks now each wakeup, acquire the
+server lock and go into a condition wait on the 'job' condition
+variable. The workers are now all 'primed' for incoming RPC
+calls.
+
+
+
+A file descriptor event now occurrs, causing the initial thread
+to exit poll(). It invokes the registered callback associated
+with the file descriptors on which the event occurrs. The callbacks
+are required to immediately acquire the server lock.
+
+If the callback is dealing with a client event, it will then
+acquire the client lock, and drop the server lock.
+
+The callback will now handle the I/O event, reading or writing
+a RPC message. Once a complete RPC message has been read the
+client is marked as being in state QEMUD_MODE_WAIT_DISPATCH,
+and the 'job' condition variable is signaled. The callback
+now drops the client lock and goes back into the poll() loop
+waiting for more I/O events.
+
+Meanwhile one of the worker threads wakes up from its condition
+variable sleep, holding the server lock. It now searches for a
+client in state QEMUD_MODE_WAIT_DISPATCH. If it doesn't find
+one, it goes back to sleep. If it does find one, then it calls
+into the remoteDispatchClientRequest() method de-serialize the
+incoming message into an XDR object and invoke the helper method
+for the associated RPC call.
+
+While the helper method is executing, no locks are held on either
+the client or server, but the ref count on the 'struct qemud_client'
+object is incremented to ensure its not deleted. The helper can
+now safely invoke the neccessary libvirt API call.
