API
epoll提供给用户进程的接口有如下四个,本文基于linux-5.1.4源码详细分析每个API具体做了啥工作,通过UML时序图理清内核内部的函数调用关系。
int epoll_create1(int size);
创建一个epfd句柄,size为0时等价于int epoll_create(0)。
int epoll_ctl(int epfd, int op, int fd, struct epoll_event *event);
向epfd上添加/修改/删除fd。
int epoll_wait(int epfd, struct epoll_event *events, int maxevents, int timeout);
返回所有就绪的fd。
内核数据结构
先上一张UML类图,从整体进行把握,图中已经标出各个数据结构所在的文件。
下面贴出各个数据结构代码,切记,实际在过代码的时候,其实我们没有必要对每一个变量和每一行代码咬文嚼字,也不建议这样去做,我们只需要重点关注主要的数据成员和那些关键的代码行,把心思和精力投入到我们最该关注的那部分,从框架层面去把握整体,抓准各个模块的核心,各个模块之间如何耦合,如何同步,如何通信等,这才是能够让你快速进步的最优路线。

init_poll_funcptr:设置epq的回调函数为ep_ptable_queue_proc,当调用poll_wait时会调用该回调函数;
ep_ptable_queue_proc:该函数内部所做的主要工作,就是把epitem对应fd的事件到来时的回调函数设置为ep_poll_callback。
ep_poll_callback:主要工作就是把就绪的fd放到就绪链表rdllist上,然后唤醒epoll_wait的调用者,被唤醒的进程再把rdllist上就绪的fd的events拷贝给用户进程,完成一个闭环。
