epoll内核源代码剖析

epoll原理简介
通过上面的分析,poll运行效率的两个瓶颈已经找出,现在的问题是怎么改进。首先,每次poll都要把
1000个fd 拷入内核,太不科学了,内核干嘛不自己保存已经拷入的fd呢?答对了,epoll就是自己保存拷
入的fd,它的API就已经说明了这一点——不是 epoll_wait的时候才传入fd,而是通过epoll_ctl把所有fd
传入内核再一起"wait",这就省掉了不必要的重复拷贝。其次,在 epoll_wait时,也不是把current轮流
的加入fd对应的设备等待队列,而是在设备等待队列醒来时调用一个回调函数(当然,这就需要“唤醒回
调”机制),把产生事件的fd归入一个链表,然后返回这个链表上的fd。
epoll剖析
epoll是个module,所以先看看module的入口eventpoll_init
[fs/eventpoll.c-->evetpoll_init()]
1582 static int __init eventpoll_init(void)
1583 {
1584 int error;
1585
1586 init_MUTEX(&epsem);
1587
1588 /* Initialize the structure used to perform safe poll wait head wake ups */
1589 ep_poll_safewake_init(&psw);
1590
1591 /* Allocates slab cache used to allocate "struct epitem" items */
1592 epi_cache = kmem_cache_create("eventpoll_epi", sizeof(struct epitem),
1593 0, SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN|EPI_SLAB_DEBUG|SLAB_PANIC,
1594 NULL, NULL);
1595
1596 /* Allocates slab cache used to allocate "struct eppoll_entry" */
1597 pwq_cache = kmem_cache_create("eventpoll_pwq",
1598 sizeof(struct eppoll_entry), 0,
1599 EPI_SLAB_DEBUG|SLAB_PANIC, NULL, NULL);
1600
1601 /*
1602 * Register the virtual file system that will be the source of inodes
1603 * for the eventpoll files
1604 */
1605 error = register_filesystem(&eventpoll_fs_type);
1606 if (error)
1607 goto epanic;
1608
1609 /* Mount the above commented virtual file system */
1610 eventpoll_mnt = kern_mount(&eventpoll_fs_type);
1611 error = PTR_ERR(eventpoll_mnt);
1612 if (IS_ERR(eventpoll_mnt))
1613 goto epanic;
1614
1615 DNPRINTK(3, (KERN_INFO "[%p] eventpoll: successfully initialized.\n",
1616 current));
1617 return 0;
1618
1619 epanic:
1620 panic("eventpoll_init() failed\n");
1621 }
很有趣,这个module在初始化时注册了一个新的文件系统,叫"eventpollfs"(在eventpoll_fs_type结
构里),然后挂载此文件系统。另外创建两个内核cache(在内核编程中,如果需要频繁分配小块内存,
应该创建kmem_cahe来做“内存池”),分别用于存放struct epitem和eppoll_entry。如果以后要开发新
的文件系统,可以参考这段代码。
现在想想epoll_create为什么会返回一个新的fd?因为它就是在这个叫做"eventpollfs"的文件系统里创建
了一个新文件!如下:
[fs/eventpoll.c-->sys_epoll_create()]
476 asmlinkage long sys_epoll_create(int size)
477 {
478 int error, fd;
479 struct inode *inode;
480 struct file *file;
481
482 DNPRINTK(3, (KERN_INFO "[%p] eventpoll: sys_epoll_create(%d)\n",
483 current, size));
484
485 /* Sanity check on the size parameter */
486 error = -EINVAL;
487 if (size <= 0)
488 goto eexit_1;
489
490 /*
491 * Creates all the items needed to setup an eventpoll file. That is,
492 * a file structure, and inode and a free file descriptor.
493 */
494 error = ep_getfd(&fd, &inode, &file);
495 if (error)
496 goto eexit_1;
497
498 /* Setup the file internal data structure ( "struct eventpoll" ) */
499 error = ep_file_init(file);
500 if (error)
501 goto eexit_2;
函数很简单,其中ep_getfd看上去是“get”,其实在第一次调用epoll_create时,它是要创建新inode、
新的file、新的fd。而ep_file_init则要创建一个struct eventpoll结构,并把它放入file-
>private_data,注意,这个private_data后面还要用到的。
看到这里,也许有人要问了,为什么epoll的开发者不做一个内核的超级大map把用户要创建的epoll句柄
存起来,在epoll_create时返回一个指针?那似乎很直观呀。但是,仔细看看,linux的系统调用有多少是
返回指针的?你会发现几乎没有!(特此强调,malloc不是系统调用,malloc调用的brk才是)因为linux
做为unix的最杰出的继承人,它遵循了unix的一个巨大优点——一切皆文件,输入输出是文件、socket也
是文件,一切皆文件意味着使用这个操作系统的程序可以非常简单,因为一切都是文件操作而已!(unix
还不是完全做到,plan 9才算)。而且使用文件系统有个好处:epoll_create返回的是一个fd,而不是该
死的指针,指针如果指错了,你简直没办法判断,而fd则可以通过current->files->fd_array[]找到其真
伪。
epoll_create好了,该epoll_ctl了,我们略去判断性的代码:
[fs/eventpoll.c-->sys_epoll_ctl()]
524 asmlinkage long
525 sys_epoll_ctl(int epfd, int op, int fd, struct epoll_event __user *event)
526 {
527 int error;
528 struct file *file, *tfile;
529 struct eventpoll *ep;
530 struct epitem *epi;
531 struct epoll_event epds;
....
575 epi = ep_find(ep, tfile, fd);
576
577 error = -EINVAL;
578 switch (op) {
579 case EPOLL_CTL_ADD:
580 if (!epi) {
581 epds.events |= POLLERR | POLLHUP;
582
583 error = ep_insert(ep, &epds, tfile, fd);
584 } else
585 error = -EEXIST;
586 break;
587 case EPOLL_CTL_DEL:
588 if (epi)
589 error = ep_remove(ep, epi);
590 else
591 error = -ENOENT;
592 break;
593 case EPOLL_CTL_MOD:
594 if (epi) {
595 epds.events |= POLLERR | POLLHUP;
596 error = ep_modify(ep, epi, &epds);
597 } else
598 error = -ENOENT;
599 break;
600 }
原来就是在一个大的结构(现在先不管是什么大结构)里先ep_find,如果找到了struct epitem而用户操
作是ADD,那么返回-EEXIST;如果是DEL,则ep_remove。如果找不到struct epitem而用户操作是
ADD,就ep_insert创建并插入一个。很直白。那这个“大结构”是什么呢?看ep_find的调用方式,ep参数
应该是指向这个“大结构”的指针,再看ep = file->private_data,我们才明白,原来这个“大结构”就是那
个在epoll_create时创建的struct eventpoll,具体再看看ep_find的实现,发现原来是struct eventpoll
的rbr成员(struct rb_root),原来这是一个红黑树的根!而红黑树上挂的都是struct epitem。
现在清楚了,一个新创建的epoll文件带有一个struct eventpoll结构,这个结构上再挂一个红黑树,而这
个红黑树就是每次epoll_ctl时fd存放的地方!
现在数据结构都已经清楚了,我们来看最核心的:
[fs/eventpoll.c-->sys_epoll_wait()]
627 asmlinkage long sys_epoll_wait(int epfd, struct epoll_event __user *events,
628 int maxevents, int timeout)
629 {
630 int error;
631 struct file *file;
632 struct eventpoll *ep;
633
634 DNPRINTK(3, (KERN_INFO "[%p] eventpoll: sys_epoll_wait(%d, %p, %d, %d)\n",
635 current, epfd, events, maxevents, timeout));
636
637 /* The maximum number of event must be greater than zero */
638 if (maxevents <= 0)
639 return -EINVAL;
640
641 /* Verify that the area passed by the user is writeable */
642 if ((error = verify_area(VERIFY_WRITE, events, maxevents * sizeof(struct
epoll_event))))
643 goto eexit_1;
644
645 /* Get the "struct file *" for the eventpoll file */
646 error = -EBADF;
647 file = fget(epfd);
648 if (!file)
649 goto eexit_1;
650
651 /*
652 * We have to check that the file structure underneath the fd
653 * the user passed to us _is_ an eventpoll file.
654 */
655 error = -EINVAL;
656 if (!IS_FILE_EPOLL(file))
657 goto eexit_2;
658
659 /*
660 * At this point it is safe to assume that the "private_data" contains
661 * our own data structure.
662 */
663 ep = file->private_data;
664
665 /* Time to fish for events ... */
666 error = ep_poll(ep, events, maxevents, timeout);
667
668 eexit_2:
669 fput(file);
670 eexit_1:
671 DNPRINTK(3, (KERN_INFO "[%p] eventpoll: sys_epoll_wait(%d, %p, %d, %d) =
%d\n",
672 current, epfd, events, maxevents, timeout, error));
673
674 return error;
675 }
故伎重演,从file->private_data中拿到struct eventpoll,再调用ep_poll
[fs/eventpoll.c-->sys_epoll_wait()->ep_poll()]
1468 static int ep_poll(struct eventpoll *ep, struct epoll_event __user *events,
1469 int maxevents, long timeout)
1470 {
1471 int res, eavail;
1472 unsigned long flags;

1481 jtimeout = timeout == -1 || timeout > (MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT - 1000) / HZ ?
1482 MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT: (timeout * HZ + 999) / 1000;
1483
1484 retry:

1493 */
1494 init_waitqueue_entry(&wait, current);
1495 add_wait_queue(&ep->wq, &wait);
1496
1497 for (;;) {
1498 /*

1500 * a wakeup in between. That's why we set the task state

1502 */
1503 set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
1504 if (!list_empty(&ep->rdllist) || !jtimeout)
1505 break;
1506 if (signal_pending(current)) {
1507 res = -EINTR;
1508 break;
1509 }
1510
1511 write_unlock_irqrestore(&ep->lock, flags);
1512 jtimeout = schedule_timeout(jtimeout);
1513 write_lock_irqsave(&ep->lock, flags);
1514 }
1515 remove_wait_queue(&ep->wq, &wait);
1516
1517 set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);
1518 }
....
又是一个大循环,不过这个大循环比poll的那个好,因为仔细一看——它居然除了睡觉和判断ep->rdllist
是否为空以外,啥也没做!
什么也没做当然效率高了,但到底是谁来让ep->rdllist不为空呢?
答案是ep_insert时设下的回调函数:
[fs/eventpoll.c-->sys_epoll_ctl()-->ep_insert()]
923 static int ep_insert(struct eventpoll *ep, struct epoll_event *event,
924 struct file *tfile, int fd)
925 {
926 int error, revents, pwake = 0;
927 unsigned long flags;
928 struct epitem *epi;
929 struct ep_pqueue epq;
930
931 error = -ENOMEM;
932 if (!(epi = EPI_MEM_ALLOC()))
933 goto eexit_1;
934
935 /* Item initialization follow here ... */
936 EP_RB_INITNODE(&epi->rbn);
937 INIT_LIST_HEAD(&epi->rdllink);
938 INIT_LIST_HEAD(&epi->fllink);
939 INIT_LIST_HEAD(&epi->txlink);
940 INIT_LIST_HEAD(&epi->pwqlist);
941 epi->ep = ep;
942 EP_SET_FFD(&epi->ffd, tfile, fd);
943 epi->event = *event;
944 atomic_set(&epi->usecnt, 1);
945 epi->nwait = 0;
946
947 /* Initialize the poll table using the queue callback */
948 epq.epi = epi;
949 init_poll_funcptr(&epq.pt, ep_ptable_queue_proc);
950
951 /*
952 * Attach the item to the poll hooks and get current event bits.
953 * We can safely use the file* here because its usage count has
954 * been increased by the caller of this function.
955 */
956 revents = tfile->f_op->poll(tfile, &epq.pt);
我们注意949行,其实就是
&(epq.pt)->qproc = ep_ptable_queue_proc;
紧接着 tfile->f_op->poll(tfile, &epq.pt)其实就是调用被监控文件(epoll里叫“target file”)的poll方
法,而这个poll其实就是调用poll_wait(还记得poll_wait吗?每个支持poll的设备驱动程序都要调用
的),最后就是调用ep_ptable_queue_proc。这是比较难解的一个调用关系,因为不是语言级的直接调
用。
ep_insert还把struct epitem放到struct file里的f_ep_links连表里,以方便查找,struct epitem里的
fllink就是担负这个使命的。
[fs/eventpoll.c-->ep_ptable_queue_proc()]
883 static void ep_ptable_queue_proc(struct file *file, wait_queue_head_t *whead,
884 poll_table *pt)
885 {
886 struct epitem *epi = EP_ITEM_FROM_EPQUEUE(pt);
887 struct eppoll_entry *pwq;
888
889 if (epi->nwait >= 0 && (pwq = PWQ_MEM_ALLOC())) {
890 init_waitqueue_func_entry(&pwq->wait, ep_poll_callback);
891 pwq->whead = whead;
892 pwq->base = epi;
893 add_wait_queue(whead, &pwq->wait);
894 list_add_tail(&pwq->llink, &epi->pwqlist);
895 epi->nwait++;
896 } else {
897 /* We have to signal that an error occurred */
898 epi->nwait = -1;
899 }
900 }
上面的代码就是ep_insert中要做的最重要的事:创建struct eppoll_entry,设置其唤醒回调函数为
ep_poll_callback,然后加入设备等待队列(注意这里的whead就是上一章所说的每个设备驱动都要带的
等待队列)。只有这样,当设备就绪,唤醒等待队列上的等待着时,ep_poll_callback就会被调用。每次
调用poll系统调用,操作系统都要把current(当前进程)挂到fd对应的所有设备的等待队列上,可以想
象,fd多到上千的时候,这样“挂”法很费事;而每次调用epoll_wait则没有这么罗嗦,epoll只在epoll_ctl
时把current挂一遍(这第一遍是免不了的)并给每个fd一个命令“好了就调回调函数”,如果设备有事件
了,通过回调函数,会把fd放入rdllist,而每次调用epoll_wait就只是收集rdllist里的fd就可以了
——epoll巧妙的利用回调函数,实现了更高效的事件驱动模型。
现在我们猜也能猜出来ep_poll_callback会干什么了——肯定是把红黑树上的收到event的epitem(代表
每个fd)插入ep->rdllist中,这样,当epoll_wait返回时,rdllist里就都是就绪的fd了!
[fs/eventpoll.c-->ep_poll_callback()]
1206 static int ep_poll_callback(wait_queue_t *wait, unsigned mode, int sync, void *key)

1223 */
1224 if (!(epi->event.events & ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS))
1225 goto is_disabled;
1226

1228 if (EP_IS_LINKED(&epi->rdllink))

1233 is_linked:
1234 /*
1235 * Wake up ( if active ) both the eventpoll wait list and the ->poll()
1236 * wait list.

1239 wake_up(&ep->wq);
1240 if (waitqueue_active(&ep->poll_wait))
1241 pwake++;

1247 if (pwake)
1248 ep_poll_safewake(&psw, &ep->poll_wait);
1249
1250 return 1;
1251 }
真正重要的只有1231行的只一句,就是把struct epitem放到struct eventpoll的rdllist中去。现在我们

可以画出epoll的核心数据结构图了:

epoll独有的EPOLLET
EPOLLET是epoll系统调用独有的flag,ET就是Edge Trigger(边缘触发)的意思,具体含义和应用大家
可google之。有了EPOLLET,重复的事件就不会总是出来打扰程序的判断,故而常被使用。那EPOLLET
的原理是什么呢?
上篇我们讲到epoll把fd都挂上一个回调函数,当fd对应的设备有消息时,就把fd放入rdllist链表,这样
epoll_wait只要检查这个rdllist链表就可以知道哪些fd有事件了。我们看看ep_poll的最后几行代码:
[fs/eventpoll.c->ep_poll()]
1524
1525 /*
1526 * Try to transfer events to user space. In case we get 0 events and
1527 * there's still timeout left over, we go trying again in search of
1528 * more luck.
1529 */
1530 if (!res && eavail &&
1531 !(res = ep_events_transfer(ep, events, maxevents)) && jtimeout)
1532 goto retry;
1533
1534 return res;
1535 }
把rdllist里的fd拷到用户空间,这个任务是ep_events_transfer做的:
[fs/eventpoll.c->ep_events_transfer()]
1439 static int ep_events_transfer(struct eventpoll *ep,
1440 struct epoll_event __user *events, int maxevents)
1441 {
1442 int eventcnt = 0;
1443 struct list_head txlist;
1444
1445 INIT_LIST_HEAD(&txlist);
1446
1447 /*
1448 * We need to lock this because we could be hit by
1449 * eventpoll_release_file() and epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL).
1450 */
1451 down_read(&ep->sem);
1452
1453 /* Collect/extract ready items */
1454 if (ep_collect_ready_items(ep, &txlist, maxevents) > 0) {
1455 /* Build result set in userspace */
1456 eventcnt = ep_send_events(ep, &txlist, events);
1457
1458 /* Reinject ready items into the ready list */
1459 ep_reinject_items(ep, &txlist);
1460 }
1461
1462 up_read(&ep->sem);
1463
1464 return eventcnt;
1465 }
代码很少,其中ep_collect_ready_items把rdllist里的fd挪到txlist里(挪完后rdllist就空了),接着
ep_send_events把txlist里的fd拷给用户空间,然后ep_reinject_items把一部分fd从txlist里“返还”给
rdllist以便下次还能从rdllist里发现它。
其中ep_send_events的实现:
[fs/eventpoll.c->ep_send_events()]
1337 static int ep_send_events(struct eventpoll *ep, struct list_head *txlist,
1338 struct epoll_event __user *events)
1339 {
1340 int eventcnt = 0;
1341 unsigned int revents;
1342 struct list_head *lnk;
1343 struct epitem *epi;
1344
1345 /*
1346 * We can loop without lock because this is a task private list.
1347 * The test done during the collection loop will guarantee us that
1348 * another task will not try to collect this file. Also, items
1349 * cannot vanish during the loop because we are holding "sem".
1350 */
1351 list_for_each(lnk, txlist) {
1352 epi = list_entry(lnk, struct epitem, txlink);
1353
1354 /*
1355 * Get the ready file event set. We can safely use the file
1356 * because we are holding the "sem" in read and this will
1357 * guarantee that both the file and the item will not vanish.
1358 */
1359 revents = epi->ffd.file->f_op->poll(epi->ffd.file, NULL);
1360
1361 /*
1362 * Set the return event set for the current file descriptor.
1363 * Note that only the task task was successfully able to link
1364 * the item to its "txlist" will write this field.
1365 */
1366 epi->revents = revents & epi->event.events;
1367
1368 if (epi->revents) {
1369 if (__put_user(epi->revents,
1370 &events[eventcnt].events) ||
1371 __put_user(epi->event.data,
1372 &events[eventcnt].data))
1373 return -EFAULT;
1374 if (epi->event.events & EPOLLONESHOT)
1375 epi->event.events &= EP_PRIVATE_BITS;
1376 eventcnt++;
1377 }
1378 }
1379 return eventcnt;
1380 }
这个拷贝实现其实没什么可看的,但是请注意1359行,这个poll很狡猾,它把第二个参数置为NULL来调
用。我们先看一下设备驱动通常是怎么实现poll的:
static unsigned int scull_p_poll(struct file *filp, poll_table *wait)
{
struct scull_pipe *dev = filp->private_data;
unsigned int mask = 0;
/*
* The buffer is circular; it is considered full
* if "wp" is right behind "rp" and empty if the
* two are equal.
*/
down(&dev->sem);
poll_wait(filp, &dev->inq, wait);
poll_wait(filp, &dev->outq, wait);
if (dev->rp != dev->wp)
mask |= POLLIN | POLLRDNORM; /* readable */
if (spacefree(dev))
mask |= POLLOUT | POLLWRNORM; /* writable */
up(&dev->sem);
return mask;
}
上面这段代码摘自《linux设备驱动程序(第三版)》,绝对经典,设备先要把current(当前进程)挂在
inq和outq两个队列上(这个“挂”操作是wait回调函数指针做的),然后等设备来唤醒,唤醒后就能通过
mask拿到事件掩码了(注意那个mask参数,它就是负责拿事件掩码的)。那如果wait为NULL,
poll_wait会做些什么呢?
[include/linux/poll.h->poll_wait]
25 static inline void poll_wait(struct file * filp, wait_queue_head_t * wait_address,
poll_table *p)
26 {
27 if (p && wait_address)
28 p->qproc(filp, wait_address, p);
29 }
喏,看见了,如果poll_table为空,什么也不做。我们倒回ep_send_events,那句标红的poll,实际上
就是“我不想休眠,我只想拿到事件掩码”的意思。然后再把拿到的事件掩码拷给用户空间。
ep_send_events完成后,就轮到ep_reinject_items了:
[fs/eventpoll.c->ep_reinject_items]
1389 static void ep_reinject_items(struct eventpoll *ep, struct list_head *txlist)
1390 {
1391 int ricnt = 0, pwake = 0;
1392 unsigned long flags;

ep_reinject_items把txlist里的一部分fd又放回rdllist,那么,是把哪一部分fd放回去呢?看上面1410行
的那个判断——是哪些“没有标上EPOLLET”(标红代码)且“事件被关注”(标蓝代码)的fd被重新放回了
rdllist。那么下次epoll_wait当然会又把rdllist里的fd拿来拷给用户了。
举个例子。假设一个socket,只是connect,还没有收发数据,那么它的poll事件掩码总是有POLLOUT的
(参见上面的驱动示例),每次调用epoll_wait总是返回POLLOUT事件(比较烦),因为它的fd就总是被
放回rdllist;假如此时有人往这个socket里写了一大堆数据,造成socket塞住(不可写了),那么1411行
里标蓝色的判断就不成立了(没有POLLOUT了),fd不会放回rdllist,epoll_wait将不会再返回用户
POLLOUT事件。现在我们给这个socket加上EPOLLET,然后connect,没有收发数据,此时,1410行标
红的判断又不成立了,所以epoll_wait只会返回一次POLLOUT通知给用户(因为此fd不会再回到rdllist
了),接下来的epoll_wait都不会有任何事件通知了。
