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:
1 //根据给定buffer创建一个kfifo 2 struct kfifo *kfifo_init(unsigned char *buffer, unsigned int size, 3 gfp_t gfp_mask, spinlock_t *lock); 4 //给定size分配buffer和kfifo 5 struct kfifo *kfifo_alloc(unsigned int size, gfp_t gfp_mask, 6 spinlock_t *lock); 7 //释放kfifo空间 8 void kfifo_free(struct kfifo *fifo) 9 //向kfifo中添加数据 10 unsigned int kfifo_put(struct kfifo *fifo, 11 const unsigned char *buffer, unsigned int len) 12 //从kfifo中取数据 13 unsigned int kfifo_put(struct kfifo *fifo, 14 const unsigned char *buffer, unsigned int len) 15 //获取kfifo中有数据的buffer大小 16 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:
1 struct kfifo *kfifo_init(unsigned char *buffer, unsigned int size, 2 gfp_t gfp_mask, spinlock_t *lock) 3 { 4 struct kfifo *fifo; 6 /* size must be a power of 2 */ 7 BUG_ON(!is_power_of_2(size)); 9 fifo = kmalloc(sizeof(struct kfifo), gfp_mask); 10 if (!fifo) 11 return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); 13 fifo->buffer = buffer; 14 fifo->size = size; 15 fifo->in = fifo->out = 0; 16 fifo->lock = lock; 17 18 return fifo; 19 } 20 struct kfifo *kfifo_alloc(unsigned int size, gfp_t gfp_mask, spinlock_t *lock) 21 { 22 unsigned char *buffer; 23 struct kfifo *ret; 29 if (!is_power_of_2(size)) { 30 BUG_ON(size > 0x80000000); 31 size = roundup_pow_of_two(size); 32 } 34 buffer = kmalloc(size, gfp_mask); 35 if (!buffer) 36 return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); 38 ret = kfifo_init(buffer, size, gfp_mask, lock); 39 40 if (IS_ERR(ret)) 41 kfree(buffer); 43 return ret; 44 }
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:
1 static inline unsigned int kfifo_put(struct kfifo *fifo, 2 const unsigned char *buffer, unsigned int len) 3 { 4 unsigned long flags; 5 unsigned int ret; 6 spin_lock_irqsave(fifo->lock, flags); 7 ret = __kfifo_put(fifo, buffer, len); 8 spin_unlock_irqrestore(fifo->lock, flags); 9 return ret; 10 } 11 12 static inline unsigned int kfifo_get(struct kfifo *fifo, 13 unsigned char *buffer, unsigned int len) 14 { 15 unsigned long flags; 16 unsigned int ret; 17 spin_lock_irqsave(fifo->lock, flags); 18 ret = __kfifo_get(fifo, buffer, len); 19 //当fifo->in == fifo->out时,buufer为空 20 if (fifo->in == fifo->out) 21 fifo->in = fifo->out = 0; 22 spin_unlock_irqrestore(fifo->lock, flags); 23 return ret; 24 } 25 26 27 unsigned int __kfifo_put(struct kfifo *fifo, 28 const unsigned char *buffer, unsigned int len) 29 { 30 unsigned int l; 31 //buffer中空的长度 32 len = min(len, fifo->size - fifo->in + fifo->out); 34 /* 35 * Ensure that we sample the fifo->out index -before- we 36 * start putting bytes into the kfifo. 37 */ 39 smp_mb(); 41 /* first put the data starting from fifo->in to buffer end */ 42 l = min(len, fifo->size - (fifo->in & (fifo->size - 1))); 43 memcpy(fifo->buffer + (fifo->in & (fifo->size - 1)), buffer, l); 45 /* then put the rest (if any) at the beginning of the buffer */ 46 memcpy(fifo->buffer, buffer + l, len - l); 47 48 /* 49 * Ensure that we add the bytes to the kfifo -before- 50 * we update the fifo->in index. 51 */ 53 smp_wmb(); 55 fifo->in += len; //每次累加,到达最大值后溢出,自动转为0 57 return len; 58 } 59 60 unsigned int __kfifo_get(struct kfifo *fifo, 61 unsigned char *buffer, unsigned int len) 62 { 63 unsigned int l; 64 //有数据的缓冲区的长度 65 len = min(len, fifo->in - fifo->out); 67 /* 68 * Ensure that we sample the fifo->in index -before- we 69 * start removing bytes from the kfifo. 70 */ 72 smp_rmb(); 74 /* first get the data from fifo->out until the end of the buffer */ 75 l = min(len, fifo->size - (fifo->out & (fifo->size - 1))); 76 memcpy(buffer, fifo->buffer + (fifo->out & (fifo->size - 1)), l); 78 /* then get the rest (if any) from the beginning of the buffer */ 79 memcpy(buffer + l, fifo->buffer, len - l); 81 /* 82 * Ensure that we remove the bytes from the kfifo -before- 83 * we update the fifo->out index. 84 */ 86 smp_mb(); 88 fifo->out += len; //每次累加,到达最大值后溢出,自动转为0 90 return len; 91 }
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
仿照kfifo编写一个ring_buffer,现有线程互斥量进行并发控制。设计的ring_buffer如下所示:
