1、前言
最近项目中用到一个环形缓冲区(ring buffer),代码是由linux内核的kfifo改过来的。缓冲区在文件系统中经常用到,通过缓冲区缓解cpu读写内存和读写磁盘的速度。例如一个进程A产生数据发给另外一个进程B,进程B需要对进程A传的数据进行处理并写入文件,如果B没有处理完,则A要延迟发送。为了保证进程A减少等待时间,可以在A和B之间采用一个缓冲区,A每次将数据存放在缓冲区中,B每次冲缓冲区中取。这是典型的生产者和消费者模型,缓冲区中数据满足FIFO特性,因此可以采用队列进行实现。Linux内核的kfifo正好是一个环形队列,可以用来当作环形缓冲区。生产者与消费者使用缓冲区如下图所示:
环形缓冲区的详细介绍及实现方法可以参考http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_buffer,介绍的非常详细,列举了实现环形队列的几种方法。环形队列的不便之处在于如何判断队列是空还是满。维基百科上给三种实现方法。
2、linux 内核kfifo
kfifo设计的非常巧妙,代码很精简,对于入队和出对处理的出人意料。首先看一下kfifo的数据结构:
struct kfifo {
unsigned char *buffer; /* the buffer holding the data */
unsigned int size; /* the size of the allocated buffer */
unsigned int in; /* data is added at offset (in % size) */
unsigned int out; /* data is extracted from off. (out % size) */
spinlock_t *lock; /* protects concurrent modifications */
};
kfifo提供的方法有:
//根据给定buffer创建一个kfifo
struct kfifo *kfifo_init(unsigned char *buffer, unsigned int size,
gfp_t gfp_mask, spinlock_t *lock);
//给定size分配buffer和kfifo
struct kfifo *kfifo_alloc(unsigned int size, gfp_t gfp_mask,
spinlock_t *lock);
//释放kfifo空间
void kfifo_free(struct kfifo *fifo)
//向kfifo中添加数据
unsigned int kfifo_put(struct kfifo *fifo,
const unsigned char *buffer, unsigned int len)
//从kfifo中取数据
unsigned int kfifo_put(struct kfifo *fifo,
const unsigned char *buffer, unsigned int len)
//获取kfifo中有数据的buffer大小
unsigned int kfifo_len(struct kfifo *fifo)
定义自旋锁的目的为了防止多进程/线程并发使用kfifo。因为in和out在每次get和out时,发生改变。初始化和创建kfifo的源代码如下:
struct kfifo *kfifo_init(unsigned char *buffer, unsigned int size,
gfp_t gfp_mask, spinlock_t *lock)
{
struct kfifo *fifo;
/* size must be a power of 2 */
BUG_ON(!is_power_of_2(size));
fifo = kmalloc(sizeof(struct kfifo), gfp_mask);
if (!fifo)
return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
fifo->buffer = buffer;
fifo->size = size;
fifo->in = fifo->out = 0;
fifo->lock = lock;
return fifo;
}
struct kfifo *kfifo_alloc(unsigned int size, gfp_t gfp_mask, spinlock_t *lock)
{
unsigned char *buffer;
struct kfifo *ret;
if (!is_power_of_2(size)) {
BUG_ON(size > 0x80000000);
size = roundup_pow_of_two(size);
}
buffer = kmalloc(size, gfp_mask);
if (!buffer)
return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
ret = kfifo_init(buffer, size, gfp_mask, lock);
if (IS_ERR(ret))
kfree(buffer);
return ret;
}
在kfifo_init和kfifo_calloc中,kfifo->size的值总是在调用者传进来的size参数的基础上向2的幂扩展,这是内核一贯的做法。这样的好处不言而喻--对kfifo->size取模运算可以转化为与运算,如:kfifo->in % kfifo->size 可以转化为 kfifo->in & (kfifo->size – 1)
kfifo的巧妙之处在于in和out定义为无符号类型,在put和get时,in和out都是增加,当达到最大值时,产生溢出,使得从0开始,进行循环使用。put和get代码如下所示:
static inline unsigned int kfifo_put(struct kfifo *fifo,
const unsigned char *buffer, unsigned int len)
{
unsigned long flags;
unsigned int ret;
spin_lock_irqsave(fifo->lock, flags);
ret = __kfifo_put(fifo, buffer, len);
spin_unlock_irqrestore(fifo->lock, flags);
return ret;
}
static inline unsigned int kfifo_get(struct kfifo *fifo,
unsigned char *buffer, unsigned int len)
{
unsigned long flags;
unsigned int ret;
spin_lock_irqsave(fifo->lock, flags);
ret = __kfifo_get(fifo, buffer, len);
//当fifo->in == fifo->out时,buufer为空
if (fifo->in == fifo->out)
fifo->in = fifo->out = 0;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(fifo->lock, flags);
return ret;
}
unsigned int __kfifo_put(struct kfifo *fifo,
const unsigned char *buffer, unsigned int len)
{
unsigned int l;
//buffer中空的长度
len = min(len, fifo->size - fifo->in + fifo->out);
/*
* Ensure that we sample the fifo->out index -before- we
* start putting bytes into the kfifo.
*/
smp_mb();
/* first put the data starting from fifo->in to buffer end */
l = min(len, fifo->size - (fifo->in & (fifo->size - 1)));
memcpy(fifo->buffer + (fifo->in & (fifo->size - 1)), buffer, l);
/* then put the rest (if any) at the beginning of the buffer */
memcpy(fifo->buffer, buffer + l, len - l);
/*
* Ensure that we add the bytes to the kfifo -before-
* we update the fifo->in index.
*/
smp_wmb();
fifo->in += len; //每次累加,到达最大值后溢出,自动转为0
return len;
}
unsigned int __kfifo_get(struct kfifo *fifo,
unsigned char *buffer, unsigned int len)
{
unsigned int l;
//有数据的缓冲区的长度
len = min(len, fifo->in - fifo->out);
/*
* Ensure that we sample the fifo->in index -before- we
* start removing bytes from the kfifo.
*/
smp_rmb();
/* first get the data from fifo->out until the end of the buffer */
l = min(len, fifo->size - (fifo->out & (fifo->size - 1)));
memcpy(buffer, fifo->buffer + (fifo->out & (fifo->size - 1)), l);
/* then get the rest (if any) from the beginning of the buffer */
memcpy(buffer + l, fifo->buffer, len - l);
/*
* Ensure that we remove the bytes from the kfifo -before-
* we update the fifo->out index.
*/
smp_mb();
fifo->out += len; //每次累加,到达最大值后溢出,自动转为0
return len;
}
put和get在调用__put和__get过程都进行加锁,防止并发。从代码中可以看出put和get都调用两次memcpy,这针对的是边界条件。例如下图:蓝色表示空闲,红色表示占用。
(1)空的kfifo,
(2)put一个buffer后
(3)get一个buffer后
(4)当此时put的buffer长度超出in到末尾长度时,则将剩下的移到头部去
3、测试程序
